I am Terry's wife, Darlene. Thank you for this beautiful, informative book.
Even families without Autism. We do not have Autism in our family, yet I am very, very concerned.
I recommend this book to all families with children with Autism. Finally, they are finally figuring it out.
I have been extremely interested in the vaccines and Autism since I was eighteen years old. I have always shared this with people and they did not get the connection.
Maybe we can expose the corrupt drug industry for what it really is and taking the lives of many beautiful children and adults. Thank you.
I'm also drawn to books (stories) about healing, especially after the medical establishmenttells you there's little to no hope. came to mind. Her love for her son is so strong and enduring. Or unless you even have access to info./ideas like those presented in this book. They also reminded me of all that I have to be grateful for and what blessings my children are to me.
And also parts that had my heart jumping for joy for Evan, and for her. It's so empowering and hopeful to be reminded that there are lots of avenues for healing and wholeness, and many others who have been down roads similar to the ones you are going down.Avenues that bring results for one family, may not work for another family. I'd rather have options than a dead end and lost hope.In McCarthy's first book, she tells, with utter honesty and raw emotion,about her son Evan's diagnosis of autism and her subsequent journeyto help heal him. All of it. I do not have a child with autism, but know others who do.
She's also very upfront and yes, sometimes uses a little profanity.Well, it turns out those judments were not helpful or necessary. I take less for granted now.Oh, and one more note. Such touching stories.Overall, I think McCarthy's books give HOPE to families of children with autism, and to all of us. There were parts that left me weeping.
I admire her for her strength, for searching for the truth, honoring her intuition, and for the courage it takes to question the status quo, to find novel solutions and paths.In this book, Mother Warriors, we get the privilege of reading aboutother moms (and dads, too) who have relentlessly worked to educatethemselves about autism and apply various healing modalities to helptheir children. No pretenses. After I saw Jenny McCarthy on Oprah, talking about her son Evan, and allthat they had been through, I felt compelled to get her first book, and this one too. Initially I was a bit unsure of whether or not I wanted to read a book by Jenny McCarthy. Images of her posing for Playboy, etc. Actually, I like how down-to-earth she is, the way she says it like it is, and shares the good, bad, and ugly. Lots of great information and resources for anyone who has (or knows) a child with autism, but also for health in general.These stories, again, left me in awe of the parents who stopped at nothing to get to the bottom of their child's suffering and work, with many successes, at freeing them and relieving them from some heartbreaking symptoms/ailments/behavior. She writes from her heart and also has a good sense of humor.I highly recommend Mother Warriors, and her preceding one about her son,Evan.
But how will you know unless you give it a shot. I have read the latter two times now, and plan to read Mother Warriors again, too. It is inspiring to read about all that these familiesgo through and all that is possible when it comes to healing & autism. As with her first book, there were parts that left my mouth gaping wide in admiration and amazement of what these children (and their families) endured-- but also in awe of what they accomplished by thinking and looking "outside the box." And there were also tears. She's an open book and it's refreshing for someone to be REAL.
This book is amazing. Every mother should read this book before having a child so that they can be informed about immunizations and the possibilty of damage that they may cause. I would reccomend this book to mothers and non mothers. Love it.
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. 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. Autism IS treatable and recoverable. I know. 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.
I must say that after reading the book by Jenny McCarthy it is reassuring to read that other mother's who have children with Autism have the passion and endurance to go the whole nine yards to help their child in any form whether it be controversial or not. Standing ovation for these women including Jenny to write a book to inspire other mothers who have just received diagnoses for the children the courage and inspiration. Thank you.
