#030 Dr. Robert Melillo – Primitive reflexes, ADD, Autism - A different view on the brain

In this episode I am speaking with Dr. Robert Melillo.One of the
most respected specialists in childhood neurological disorders in
America, Dr. Robert Melillo has been helping children overcome
learning disabilities for over 30 years. His areas of expertise
include: autism spectrum disorders, PDD/NOS, ADD/ADHD, OCD,
dyslexia, Asperger’s, Tourette’s, bipolar disorder, and other
mental, attention, behavioral and learning disorders. He is also
an expert in diet, nutrition and neuroimmune disorders in
children and adults.


We all have heard about the vagus nerve and maybe even know about
the poly vagal theory. There are many theories out there of how
the brain works, but little give us insight in how to actually
treat patients with syndromes like ADD, autism, delayed
development problems etc.. One of the key findings is the concept
of retained primitive reflexes in adults, which got me (Daniel
Sentker) interested in Dr. Melillos Method. These reflexes tested
positive on myself which led me down this route and helped me
tremendously. This is a fascinating episode to get a glimpse of
what we can do today to help people with a functional
disconnected nervous system. Dr. Melillo has written some great
books about this topic and also teaches an in depth course. One
book is called “Disconnected kids” which is a great way to start
this journey. You find out more on this website.
