Autism and ADHD Specialist Dr. Brian D. Udell Brings Medically Guided Treatment Protocol to Cannes Global Stage
CANNES, FRANCE — May 13, 2026 — Autism and ADHD specialist Dr. Brian D. Udell, MD, FAAP will bring a guided treatment protocol to the global stage as he launches his international book tour at the sHEALed Global Premiere in Cannes. His new book, The Leucovorin Book: A Folinic Acid Protocol for Autism Spectrum and Related Developmental Disorders, introduces a structured, experience-based approach to the safe and effective use of leucovorin—offering clarity for families and clinicians navigating a rapidly growing but often inconsistently applied treatment.
The launch coincides with a high-profile global event at the Cannes Film Festival, featuring red carpet appearances, media interviews, and documentary screenings that bring together leaders in health, wellness, and innovation.
With more than 50 years of experience in pediatric medicine and nearly two decades focused on children with autism and developmental disorders, Dr. Udell brings a uniquely authoritative voice to a topic that many families approach with both hope and uncertainty.
“This is not a cure,” said Dr. Udell. “This is a guided protocol developed through years of clinical experience to help families and practitioners use this treatment safely and effectively.”
As global interest in leucovorin (folinic acid) has grown, so has the need for clear, medically supervised guidance. The Leucovorin Book addresses this gap by outlining a step-by-step process that begins with medical evaluation and continues through dosing, monitoring, and adjustment—helping reduce the risks associated with inconsistent or incorrect use.
The Cannes launch marks the first stop in a broader effort to expand access to this information to a global audience. Attendees of the sHEALed Global Premiere will have opportunities to engage with Dr. Udell through interviews, red carpet appearances, and curated networking experiences alongside other featured experts.
