Jenny McCarthy

[Watch her on CNN, draw dropping bit for anyone in the UK used to the BBC.  The bit where she held up the Generation Rescue vaccine schedule chart was amazing, and the vaccine flacks at the end were worth watching--people are starting to see through these characters and their 'One plane ride away' crap.  ]

Jenny McCarthy: My son's recovery from autism

Watch Jenny McCarthy talk about her son's autism » Don't miss the vaccine flacks at the end, and the infamous 'One plane ride away' line

We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines. Once Evan's neurological function was recovered through these medical treatments, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis helped him quickly learn the skills he could not learn while he was frozen in autism. After we implemented these therapies for one year, the state re-evaluated Evan for further services. They spent five minutes with Evan and said, "What happened? We've never seen a recovery like this."  
    Evan is now 5 years old and what might surprise a lot of you is that we've never been contacted by a single member of the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, or any other health authority to evaluate and understand how Evan recovered from autism. When Evan meets doctors and neurologists, to this day they tell us he was misdiagnosed -- that he never had autism to begin with. It's as if they are wired to believe that children can't recover from autism.
    So where's the cavalry? Where are all the doctors beating down our door to take a closer look at Evan? We think we know why they haven't arrived. Most of the parents we've met who have recovered their child from autism as we did (and we have met many) blame vaccines for their child's autism. Jenny McCarthy: My son's recovery from autism
