This is a copy of my blog from Myspace and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Thank you Jenny McCarthy
Current mood: blessed


I just want to say Thank you to Jenny McCarthy. When I first saw her on Oprah promoting her book Louder Than Words I did not know there was hope for reversing symptoms of Autism. I was at a point of accepting that there was nothing I could do but accept that my child had Autism. Shortly after reading her book, I read Dr. Kenneth Bock's book Healing the New Childhood Epidemics (I saw him on Montel) where he explained the things that Jenny was talking about helped her son Evan. I was afraid we could not afford these treatments they were talking about or give my child supplements and it seemed completely and utterly overwhelming. I decided to just make a first appointment with a DAN! and see where it goes and take it one step at a time. I am very pleased to say that my son's progress has been amazing. I started a natural detox in Nov. 2007 and B12 injections in Feb. 2008. This is Oct. 2008, we saw the developmental ped. and psych today and they changed one of his diagnosis from global developmental delay to just a slight developmental delay. (To be considered a global delay it has to be a 50% delay in all areas of development.) Then I was told that he is just one step away from his diagnosis being changed from Autistic Spectrum Disorder to Asperger's which is a very high functioning form of Autism. With this amount of progress in such a short time I would not be surprised if he eventually does not meet the criteria for an Autism diagnosis at all. The sad thing is when this happens Doctor across America try to say that the child must not have ever had Autism to begin with, Sigh, because you can't "cure" Autism. Well Doctor's you may not be able to cure Autism but you can help Autism!!!!

I love my son, I love him just the way he is and was and will ever be. I don't want to change who he is. I did not set out to remove his Autism. I did not set out to cure him. I set out to make him feel better and clearly he does!

Jenny Thank you for being a voice for thousands of Mom's across the country, thank you for taking a stand and not backing down. Thank you for educating me and telling me there is hope. Thank you for sharing Evan's story with the world! Thank you for writing your second book Warrior Mom's and sharing more hope for recovery. From the bottom of my heart and soul THANK YOU JENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenny put it very well when she said that not all children are going to have the same response to these treatments, just like not all people respond to chemo. Some give her a hard time saying that she is giving false hope. I am hear to say it wasn't false hope for me!
