Book Reviews of Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds
Book Review: vindicated
Summary: 5 Stars
I laughed out loud when I read the testimonies of so many parents who had experienced "my" life with autism.
Their cynicism about "conventional medicine", about the rubbish science which says vaccines are safe, the joy of recovering their once autistic child are all my experience too.
There was such a thrill of recognition,a 'comrade in arms' feeling.
I read this book cover to cover all at once-on the day I received it.
Thank God for Jenny McCarthy.
She is spot on the money. Autism IS treatable and recoverable. I know. I'm one of the many mother warriors who saved their child and ,along the way, recovered his siblings from ADD, Chronic Fatigue and insulin resistance by the same protocols.I am forever indebted to the doctors of DAN (Defeat Autism Now)
SHAME on the CDC. SHAME on the IOM and ignorant Paediatricians who still believe autism is for life and incurable. They will live in infamy.Their ethos of CYA (Cover your arse) is despicable.
Summary of Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds
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.
