Jenny McCarthy Has Powers
Jenny McCarthy's son was diagnosed with autism and she believes the MMR vaccine was the cause. She even wrote five books on the subject. Well, thanks to the grace of God and the banishment of evil bread foods, her autistic son is no longer autistic. Jenny says that she put her son on a strict no-wheat, no-dairy diet and his autism eventually disappeared! Or something like that. Before you give her the side-eye, read what she tells UsWeekly:
"I made a deal with God. I said, 'You fix my boy, you show me the way and I'll teach the world how I did it.'" God listened to her and replied, "No bread. No milk. No problem." Jenny listened and that was that! I made up that last part by the way.
Jenny recalls the moment she started to believe that her son was "recovered." It was while he was watching an episode of Spongebob. She said, "I heard Evan laugh...I jumped on the bed and started screaming. When he finally hugged me, I prayed, 'Please God don't let this be the only time.'"
She will continue to be an advocate for autism awareness. Jenny said that she recently tried to speak to John McCain about it, because he's spoken about autism and vaccines before. Jenny said, "McCain had come out and said he thinks there's enough evidence between vaccines and autism, so I got on a helicopter [to meet him for] an on-camera interview. By the time I got there, the campaign manager said, 'He's ahead in the polls, and this is too controversial, and he doesn't want to go one way or the next.'"
I'm sure Jenny replied with, "THAT'S BULLSHIT!"

I don't get it. My 33-year-old son lives on a strict diet of no gluten and no lactose to make his IBS or Crohn's (no one knows for sure) somewhat more tolerable (and it doesn't always work) but it CURES autism?
So, the diet doesn't cure what it ought to cure (digestive problems) but cures a brain development disorder? Hmmmm.

I think what she is trying to say and is getting lost in the translation is.......that some doctors are starting to find that there is actually an allergic-like reaction within the brain of some children. By eliminating high allergy causing foods (glutins, wheat, lactose,etc) that there is an actual change within the brain that can be measured in scans.

Thank you. It's really annoying to see people write the same messages of disbelief over and over again when there are people on here who present at least somewhat plausible connections (I'm talking about gluten et al, not vaccines). I guess they don't read the previous comments. Anyway yet again I'm not saying I necessarily believe Jenny 'cured' her son but I can see how a change in his diet (considering my family experiences) might have helped his condition.

I am a school psychologist and although it is any parents choice to alter their child's diet accordingly, I do NOT believe that her son was CURED by a choice of food. The ONLY way that children with Autism make improvements is with intensive speech, social and educational therapy with trained professionals (and obviously working closely with the family). Children with Autism suffer from significant language and social delays. Ms. McCarthy is doing a disservice to families by not advocating for proven therapy in addition to her personal beliefs.
-----
No offense, but I'm sure you know that people with autism don't necessarily just suffer from language and social delays. My severely autistic sister understands when my family communicates with her but a good portion of the issue is the fact that she first has to be *engaged*--i.e. she is often in her mental 'world'. And regardless, aside from symptoms of a problem there is always a reason for them--genetic abnormalities, genetic triggers, environmental causes, whatever.
Ah, I see she's gone straight into the "delusion" stage. You can't "recover" from autism any more than you can recover from Down's syndrome, or an amputated leg. The kid's autism can be TREATED, in ways that lessen the severity of it. But cured? Never.
I fucking hate this woman, because she is the embodiment of a stupid person who insists that only they are right, and if you don't agree with her 100% then you are an evil moron.
And she is a typical STUPID parent of of an autistic child, in that she wants to find something (vaccines) other than herself to blame for her kid's affliction. She doesn't wanna accept that hey, these things happen and she just happened to have a genetic predisposition and her ex probably did too.
No, that would mean it was her "fault." So she blames the vaccines despite the HUGE flaws in that theory and the science that has disproven it.
Especially since autistic children CAN and DO laugh. My brother has been autistic all his life (including periods with zero bread and dairy) and he's been laughing ever since he learned how. And it definitely didn't come from vaccines, because he was tested THE VERY DAY HE WAS FUCKING BORN.
Deal with it, Jenny. The sooner you acknowledge that no matter how many vaccines you protest and diets you put him on HE WILL NEVER BE CURED, the happier everyone -- including your kid -- will be. You're giving a lot of fucking false hope to desperate parents, based solely on ONE PERSON'S CRACK DIET and not on any scientific evidence.
Oh and re: McCain, she's such a moron she doesn't realize that he doubtlessly had someone google autism, found out that it existed long before vaccines of any kind and that autism is shown in the brains of fetii. So he cancelled so he wouldn't be associated with the crazy anti-vaccine skank, while giving back a nice politic answer.
It's really pathetic that she can't see that that is what happened.

While I am happy that her son is "cured", I don't believe that autism can be cured with a change in diet. If that's the case, then perhaps he was MISDIAGNOSED all along and instead was suffering some something else.
-----------------------
Lucy, no shit! that does happen. Was talking with a neurologist recently and mri's are now WAY more sensitive than they used to be and can pick up a lot more detail. People were misdiagnosed, some good, some bad - funny how people can't let go of a diagnosis even faced with evidence to the contrary. Must be scary.

Some autistic kids respond very well to a Gluten and Cassein Free Diet. That being said, others (like mine), dont respond at all... What i did notice in both of my kids with Autism was that when they were around five, i saw HUGE improvements. In this one year, they went from saying Mommy and Daddy for the first time to reading on a third grade level. We had them both in Therapy from the age 2 and a half and 18 month (the younger one got his DX way sooner)but thought its not helping AT ALL. Dont know how old Jenny`s son is, but maybe he just hit that milestone around the same time she started the diet. Or her kid is one that responds to it. I wish her the best of luck with whatever works for her, but the deal with God (u make it work, and tell the world how its done) is like trying to say she invented GF diets. And THAT makes her a big DingDong..lol
****She wore far too much rouge and not quite enough clothes last night. Thats always a sign of dispair in a woman.******

i'm definitely givin' her the side-eye, hardcore. my mom is a special-ed teacher and i've been around her students all of my life, many of whom have been autistic. it's not really something you recover from. autistic kids (and grownups) have alot of trouble dealing with other people in general. they tend to have problems understanding emotions, or other people's motives. this does not mean they're stupid, far from it - alot of them are really, really smart. rainman kinda smart.
i try to keep an open mind about stuff like this, but i'm highly, highly skeptical. i'm willing to guess that the doctor who initially diagnosed her son with autism was misinformed or mistaken. i highly, highly doubt that a change in diet would affect anyone's autism. most autistic people have extremely picky eating habits anyway, and it would be pretty difficult to get any autistic child to adhere to a diet at all. furthermore, autism is not a disease, it's a disorder - it's built into the dna. autistic people can learn to cope with their problems with various therapies, but it's not something that can be cured or will go away. this also makes me extremely skeptical about the link between the MMR vaccine and autism. autism is not something you can catch. again, it's a disorder, not a disease - it is built into your software.
by the way, you know who else is autistic? tom cruise. truth.
While I think its admirable that Jenny McCarthy is bringing awareness to autism, I really don't think not eating dairy or bread will eliminate all cases of autism. I think some people are just born with it like any other mental disability. But hey, I'm not a doctor, scientist or autism researcher.
What we should be talking about is how to respectfully treat those and include those with autism in everyday society. Help them cope with it and help them feel "normal."
People need to stop making stupid and ignorant comments to get their fifteen minutes extended. Guess what? It's not funny.
This coming from someone who's sibling has autism.
If done properly, a gluten-free and dairy-free diet is very healthy BUT does not "cure" autism.
Re: Jim carrey causing Autism. That I seriously doubt, bit I do know his penis must have some beauty draining quality. When he started F***ing Renee Z, she started looking REALLY bad. Lauren Holly... same thing. Jenny, to a certain degree, only most of it bounced back and got him.

I know someone who swears that bee-sting therapy cured what is probably a torn ACL or meniscus. Of course, since the person refused to get an MRI, we may never know.
I fucking hate her. First she helps spread the bullshit about the link between autism & vaccines, even though all the research shows one has never been found, & now she's trying to say that some kind of "Divine Intervention" "cured" her son's autism. She needs to go back to burping & flashing her titties.
And my husband's cousin tryed the whole gluten-free diet thing with her autistic son. He did seem to get slightly better, but other times it looked like the gluten-free diet wasn't making any difference at all. So I think they finally just gave up on that theory all together.
my friend has been doing what jenny did for her son--the diet, and therapy, and it's worked. i do not know if its the best or the only way to treat autism, but any ground gained is good in my book.
BOO!
Jimmy Lake is pretending to be a piece of cheese.
No, I am not HA/LA! FFS!
I am so fucking sick of this shit! Vaccines do NOT cause autism. Tons of legitimate studies have been conducted and conclude that there is no link. But people persist with their "But my kid..." or "My friend says..." type crap, which all proves absolute dick. Go to medical school/grad school, learn neurology and medicine, learn statistics, do post-grad/residency training, and then maybe you are qualified to comment on the debate. Not some big tittied, talentless, unemplyed, bleached blond who thinks God communicates through her. Sorry, it is just a huge pet peeve of mine...

I consider it a sign of class and elegance when a lady DOESN'T draw attention to her snatchal region.
uh huh. Vaccines cause autism, metal dental fillings causes multiple sclerosis, power lines causes cancer, cell phones cause brain tumours, teflon causes alzheimer's, and homeopathy works.
What causes stupid?
How can these strident passionate people dismiss science, medicine and established proven methods of testing and validating theories without ANY education, knowledge skills or experience?
Taking responsibility for your health is highly laudable, but there comes a time to listen to people who have dedicated their lives to studying what you've only cherry picked info about.
Science and medicine aren't out to get you.

No she's relevant because of who she's fucking. She'd be on Surreal Life w/o Jim Carrey and the money coming out of his ass.
And to the other person...no i don't believe Jim Carrey causes autism. And if you took that as literal, you must not be able to fit a pea up your tight ass.

Isn't this a really old story?
There really is a link between autism and gluten, as well as lactose and certain types of carbs. Just saying.

Maybe Jim Carey causes Autism because it seems like only since she hopped on that money train that this kid got autism.

That's not true at all. He was already a toddler by the time she met Jim Carrey. It probably seems like that because she got more press after they started dating.
I don't agree with Jenny McCarthy, but I'm glad she's doing something worthwhile. She could have ended up on "Celebrity Fit Club" or something like that, but instead she became relevant instead of staying a washed-up sex object.

altering your diet can cure some diseases, but the only ones I'm aware of are gastrointestinal to begin with. I'm pretty skeptical of her claims, but I really, really hope they are true.
While I am happy that her son is "cured", I don't believe that autism can be cured with a change in diet. If that's the case, then perhaps he was MISDIAGNOSED all along and instead was suffering some something else.

Actually, despite having a sister with severe autism and a brother with Asperger's, I feel like I don't really know enough about it.
But actually there are supposed to be links between things like autism and celiac disease, which my brother happens to have. He can't eat anything with wheat products in it. So while I'm not really sure how I feel about the idea of her son being 'cured', I think it's an interesting statement.

I'd sooner eviscerate myself with a butter knife than wish that existence on another human being.
There is a diet that can help austic children and I do believe her cause and I also think vaccinations are good but their are many that have side effects that the government must know about and not saying.
Please Mr. Francis Ford Coppola, make a Godfather part 4 with Talia Shire as the Godfather and Kay finally with the program.
You know what, tho? My friend does that with her son. He is very severely autistic but, quite frankly, at age 8 it is not nearly as noticeable - and certainly not right away. Only she talks about gluten and lactose.
O yeah, and she does a million other things, as well, to help him...

With intense early interventions many of the symptoms associated with autism can be eased. There are varying degrees of autism too-maybe her son was higher functioning?
And what the hell is she doing making those kind of deals with God? Saint Angelina's gonna be pissed!
p.s. can we comment on how horrible Jennifer Aniston looks on the that picture [top left quadrant of the cover].
she needs to give up and just drink some sleeping pills.
If you can recover from a affliction by not eating bread or milk, then it wasn't an AFFLICTION TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!! Everyone bashed Leary but this is the bullshit over diagnosing he was talking about. Yea cause doctors and PSYCHOlogists aren't above making a few extra bucks by bullshitting, yea right. WAKE UP AMERICA
I just dont see how eliminating dairy and foods with wheat are going to cure Autism. Its nice to see her son is doing better...but seriously??
