Book Description
For any child with challenges, early intervention is essential and parents need a plan that they can implement right away. Jenny McCarthy, one of the country's leading autism advocates, has teamed up with top autism specialist Jerry Kartzinel, M.D., to offer a prescriptive guide to the healing therapies and treatments that have turned the lives of so many children around. While autism cases have grown a whopping 6000 percent since the 1970s, the medical community is still waking up to the epidemic and parents need tools to begin healing their children and educating their doctors, instead of waiting six months to a year to get an appointment with a specialist. In this book, parents will learn about the following:
•The biomedical diet and supplement protocol
•Where to find alternative therapies and how to implement them
•A list of tests any doctor can perform
•Studies to show your doctor that will help make the case that they need to support your efforts
•Advice for preventing autism during pregnancy and the early years by looking at family history of allergies, depression, and autoimmune disorders as well as Mom's chemical exposure
Whether your child has autism, ADD, ADHD, OCD, or an autism spectrum disorder, Healing and Preventing Autism is the authoritative reference book with the tools to heal your child.

A must read for parents,
This review is from: Healing And Preventing Autism (Hardcover)
This book is a God-send to me, an answered prayer.My son doesn't have autism, but is very sensitive and has multiple food allergies and I have been trying to figure out how to help heal his gut and immune system. This book lays out in very simple terms and descriptive terms what people need to do in order to heal their child of a number of conditions that children with a stressed out immune system have (e.g., allergies, candida, seizures, eczema, anxiety), etc. I've heard snippets here and there and have been trying to piece together all of the pieces of the puzzle and I'm very thankful that someone has gone through all of the trouble of putting all of the pieces together so that we can understand what's going on with our children. I've already been doing some of the steps laid out in the book, including the gluten-free, casein-free diet, and supplements, but after reading the book, I know what my next steps will be in helping to heal my son's gut. This isn't just a book for the parents of autistic children. This is a book for all parents. This is a book for all of us who care about what's happening with our children and our planet. This is a book for people in the medical profession. [...]

Jenny McCarthy is really beginning to bug me.....,
By Kiwi (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing And Preventing Autism (Hardcover)
And it's not so much her books, which have all been quite readable, if not particularly accurate, so much as the "before me there was nothing" attitude which the publishers blurb on this book exemplifies.The blurb for this book states - "Jenny McCarthy--whose bestselling books Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors told the stories of healing children with autism--teams up with a preeminent autism doctor to write the first book on a remarkably effective treatment." OK, what's this first book nonsense. This book was published 31 March 2009. So what about these books then? Children with Starving Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Authism Spectrum Disorder or Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders or Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach to Treating Your Autistic Child or Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Mother's Story of Research & Recovery. And there's quite a few more. I just used these as examples. Like I said, no real argument about the content but it's the way she promotes herself that annoys me.

GREAT BOOK FOR TREATMENT!!,
By Choosy ""A mother is not a person to lean... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing And Preventing Autism (Hardcover)
For those that wonder if this stuff is TRUE or junk science. ok, here is some FACT for you. My child was completely nonverbal from 13 months to 7 years old. At 18 months she got OT and speech therapy an hour a day 3 days a week until she was 5. Still NO words. ST and OT didn't help at all. I worked with her everyday after the therapist left for hours doing EVERYTHING I was showed and more. She stopped getting OT and speech at 5 because of funding. Still having low functioning autism at seven years old and not being able to afford other therapies I decided to try the GF/CF diet w/ a full spectrum enzyme, magnesium w/ Vitamin D, codliver oil, Calcium, GABA and B6 etc and in 4 YES I SAID 4 and ONLY 4 months she went from NO WORDS to 50 well understood words with NO speech, OT or ABA at all. We continued this adding more supplements/ vitamins and now at nine she is speaking in long sentences, answers and asks who, what, when and where questions and has a HUGE vocabulary of wow 2,000 or more words. Reads well and oh did I forget to say she could not be potty trained and was still using pull ups at 7 years and when her speech came in and "tummy" felt better so did her understanding of the potty and was potty trained within 5 months and 6 months she didn't even need a pullup on at night!!! It was getting to the point I seen myself changing her diaper for life. That's how hopeless it felt, but THANK GOD I tried bio. It was the best thing we ever done for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I will say this. If you do not take out ALL the GF/CF from EVERYTHING. It WILL NOT WORK. You can't go to restaurants, ordering off the menu because of contamination from the Gluten coming out of even a cleaned pan when heated. If you want it to work you MUST go all the way. Make it, take it meals. It's hard for us that isn't really "cooks" so to speak, but if I can learn it anyone can and the reward at the end is priceless!! So for the people that say it's junk science I laugh at you, for I lived it. NO ONE ELSE WAS FIXING HER. Everyday I seen my child get better and now life is better!!!!

Jenny McCarthy is really starting to bug me....,
By Kiwi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing And Preventing Autism (Hardcover)
And it's not so much her books, which have all been quite readable, if rather general and not particularly accurate, so much as the "before me there was nothing" attitude which the publishers blurb on this book exemplifies.The blurb for this book states - "Jenny McCarthy--whose bestselling books Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors told the stories of healing children with autism--teams up with a preeminent autism doctor to write the first book on a remarkably effective treatment." OK, so what's this FIRST BOOK NONSENSE. This book was published fairly recently. So what about these books then? Is McCarthy suggesting these are not relevant, or is she just unaware... or is it her marketing department at work. Either way, it's annoying and egocentric. Other authors in this field are more than willing to share credit and acknowledgements of others work in the field. All of the below in fact. Children with Starving Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physiciansor Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Mother's Story of Research & Recovery And there's quite a few more. I just used these as examples. Like I said, no real argument about the content, altho as with her book on pregnancy, it's not advice you'd want to follow, more of a light read, but it's the way she promotes herself that annoys me. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Hopeless to hopeful,
By Lisa Vanwatermulen - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am a family nurser practitioner trained in traditional medicine. A few months ago I came to the excruciating realization that my son, 3 1/2, had autism spectrum disorder. My first inclination was to learn everything I could about ASD. I recalled Jenny McCarthy working with autism awareness a few years ago, but it was Jenny McCarthey, not a pediatrician. I spent hours searching through articles in well-renowned medical journals. They were all the same - the signs, how to diagnose, early treatment (referral to speech therapy and applied behavior therapy.) Yet, only 15% of autistic people will ever live independently. Every hope and dream I ever had for my precious son was ripped from me. This is what every parent will tell you.Then, I typed the name "Jenny McCarthy" into a Google search. God Bless You, Jenny McCarthy. I ordered her 3 books, read them all in a weekend and unlike my medical journals, I was given hope. Started GF/CF diet 2 weeks later. Within days, my son's stimming ended. Not slowed, ENDED. When he's had any gluten, stimming will start before he's even left the table. I brought him to a biomedical dr a month later (soonest we could get in), with this book in hand, well-informed. We started a probiotic and fish oil. Within days, he could answer a question for the first time in his life. (He is also getting speech therapy which is not to be discounted.) Although the layout of the book (the interview form) is kind of cheesy, this is a must-read/must-own book for any parent of a child with ASD. Dr. Kartzinel gives wonderful explanations, in layman's terms, of how damage was done to your child's body resulting in ASD symptoms and how to treat them. It's not expensive, so PLEASE, please give it a try. Your child is worth it. Your dreams for your child are worth it. Healing and recovering are possible. |
