It deserves attention, 18 April 2009
In this book, JMcC shares her story, and those of other Moms and a Dad across America, who have had children with autism.
I think anybody who already is in this position, or is thinking about vaccinating their child, might find this book valuable.
For example, according to one story in this book a child had a cold, and was given Tylenol, which lowered the level of glutathione, which made the child's immune response even weaker. The child then got vaccinated for three different live viruses, and some mercury. A perfect storm.
I am not suggesting this is the cause of autism, like most people, I don't know, but isn't it better to do a little advance investigation to be safe rather than sorry. There is some evidence in the book that viruses and rubella can cause autism at a later age, and so it's not just limited to children.
If you read this book you will discover that there are several different known causes, there is hope, and there are resources and strategies available, and you are not alone.
The word cure in relation to autism is contentious. So she makes the point instead that someone can recover from autism. It's like if someone has an accident, they cannot be cured from the accident, but they can recover from it.
In fact, at the back of the book is a list of DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctors across the USA. It's encouraging to know that there is a subset of doctors committed to doing something about this.
I was a little bit disappointed with the Barbara Walters incident on The View, although it is appropriate for Babs to challenge the level of medical support for a cure. At least she did give fair warning.
If you're like me the further you get into this book, the more you realise that something can be done.
For those who say JMcC is too in your face, I am glad someone out there is fighting the fight, and I am glad she now has the company of other Warrior Moms. Yes, the mainstream medical community may take issue, but often change does not happen without some antagonism. So, I hope the antagonism level gets high enough.
I don't know if the author is planning to write any more books on autism. If she does it would be a great help if there was a chapter by a doctor with case experience showing the strategies that they have used successfully with case examples.
There must be many doctors out there who would love to help children with autism.

Fascinating., 31 May 2009
I found this book to be both fascinating and informative. It opened my eyes to simple but effective things that can be done by those who are willing to "give it a go".
