Stories of hope and recovery from a nation of parents of autistic children, by the high-profile, bestselling author of Louder Than Words. When Jenny McCarthy published Louder Than Words, the story of her successful efforts to save her son, Evan, from autism, the response was tremendous. It hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list; and Jenny and Evan were featured on the covers of several magazines, including People. But what she hadn’t anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children, who sought her out to share their stories. No two autistic children heal in exactly the same way. And in her new book, Jenny expands her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country. Mother Warriors, shows how each parent fought to find her own child’s perfect “remedy of interventions” and teaches parents how to navigate safely through the many autism therapies. Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother as well as the progress of her son, Evan. Emotional and genuinely practical, Mother Warriors will inspire a generation of parents with hope. |

 Written on November 11, 2008 Summary: My son is now 8, but Jenny Has Inspired Me to do even more for him I thought after 6 years of gluten-free diet, bio med treatments, I'd done all I could do for my now 8 year old son. He is still autistic, though he is learning to read, advancing academically, etc. But Jenny has inspired me to redo some of his tests and seek diet, medical and supplement changes that may help. Every mother of a child with autism--whatever their age--should read this book. That is why I was upset by the ill-informed negative (1 star) "customer review" and I think it should be removed. This review is harmful if it steers even one parent away from this book. It contains outright lies and only ironically confirms the petty politics Jenny describes within PART of the autism community. While warrior mothers are seeking recovery/improvements with the guidance of DAN! doctors the "reviewer" states the obvious: bio-med treatments do not work for ALL children (something Jenny also acknowledges!) ...but when so many find success, it is worth a look! Autism has a set of about 100 different SYMPTOMS, many medical issues far beyond behavior/language/social deficits...it is a complicated medical disorder. No one has every single symptom, and two kids are exactly alike or have exact same set of symptoms, though most toddlers share SOME common traits and patterns of regression...as Jenny heartbreakingly describes. (But tell me: what drug is 100 percent effective on 100 percent of the population, 100 percent of the time on any complicated medical disorder? Does reviewer think science dismisses all the medicines/treatments that only work for SOME?! Did you know, as the author of "How Doctors Think" reports, that the medical community at large has only has slightly better than a 50 percent "success" level? Doctors are only human. They misdiagnos. And many cancer treatments actually do more harm than good, but they give the patient a CHANCE, if he chooses to take it. ...likewise Jenny describes well the parent fear, dangers of regression with chealation, etc. Parents aren't going to rush off and try to do this on their own. Another irony is that the negative "reviewer" spreads false accusation about McCarthy having financial conflicts of interest when it is the VACCINE providers (and scientists who run their "studies") who clearly have huge financial incentive not to curtail the madness of one-size-fits all vaccine schedules. It is for MONETARY reasons they refuse to remove toxic "preservatives" like thirmerosal that KILLED animals when they tried to test it on them. Mothers should be free from pressure by pediatricans most of whom have not done a fraction of the research we've done to weigh the risk/benefits of each individual disease BEFORE subjecting our children to multiple shots that--because of underlying weakness in their immune system-- may leave them with autism &/or seizure disorder, allergies, asthma and other autoimmune disorders. The very real possibility of triggering these conditions should be weighed against possibility of contracting the diseases. The truth is, Jenny makes a wonderful case that number one inspires all mothers who know our kids best not to back down. We are connecting of the dots. We are not crazy. We are not stupid and we are not going away. We know what we saw and what we lost in our kids. The consensus is this: autism occurs when a perfect storm of weakened immune system, genetics, and overzealous dedication to CDC "recommended" vaccine "schedule" --complete with all the environmental toxins out there, plus shots (mercury, aluminum, anti-freeze etc) and disease agents they contain. And, as Jenny and her doctor point out, it is not just autism that is rising alarmingly. Vaccines (and other environmental toxins!) are triggering all sorts of immune response and neurological problems: allergies, fever, rash, fogginess, seizures, food intolerances, intestinal discomfort, viruses, etc. etc. Have you read the WARNING LABELS on what can happen with the flu shot, to take just one example (seizures, death) Give me and my child the flu ANYDAY. No book can tell the entire story, or have a bibliography that contains every source. These are spurious criticisms. If you have a child with autism, PLEASE pick up this book and read it anyway. You will be inspired to continue to seek help for your child. Thank you Jenny for not hiding your recovering son away from the spotlight. You are helping us all. Written on November 10, 2008 Summary: Amazing! I finished this book in about 2 hours. The tears flowed as I read....thank you Jenny for getting their stories to us! Written on November 9, 2008 Summary: Awesome Great book for anyone who has a child with autism. I read the whole book in one night. Couldn't put it down! It was so inspiring to hear other peoples stories who are dealing with the same thing I am. Written on November 7, 2008 Summary: An autism "must read" This book is already one of the classics of the autism world. Thousands of children are recovering, and getting their stories out has not been easy. Seeing parents move mountains to get the help for their children that they need is inspiring. The stories form parents like these have been my inspiration and now my son is nearly recovered- THANK YOU!!! He would never be where he is today if I had waited for conventional doctors to start looking at the evidence themselves. Parents have been pretty much left to themselves to heal their children and this book lets some of them tell about their journey. It truly is an autism "must read".  Written on November 2, 2008 Summary: This woman is ignorant and dangerous The idea that vaccines should be avoided is a recipe for public health disaster with zero science behind it, despite the false claims and bad science spouted by Jenny and her ignorant followers. If you follow her vaccine advice, you do so at the peril of your children. They deserve the benefit of the best science can offer, not pseudoscience from some dopey, uneducated celebrity. |
