McCarthy Urges Doctors To Accept Diet Can Ease Autism

This is so awesome of Jenny McCarthy. You go, girl!  Read on from Dotspotter user winsol2000 to learn more about Jenny's work to raise awareness and funding for autism....

 

 

Actress/model Jenny McCarthy has called on the medical community to recognize that diet and vitamins can help ease the symptoms of autism. McCarthy, whose five-year-old son Evan suffers from the disorder, travels around America giving talks about the alleged benefits of natural medicines.

 

But the blonde, who is dating Jim Carrey, wishes doctors would acknowledge how diets and vitamins can be used to treat autism.

 

She says, “I’ve been speaking to moms across the country who are all shouting out the same thing: ‘This (diet and supplement intake) is working.’”

 

“It’s so heartbreaking to see the medical community not support something called diet and vitamins. And it pains us, city after city after city. I see this heartbreak on these mom’s faces.” “Autism isn’t covered by (medical) insurance. If things like diets and supplements are working, then why not support it? These kids are getting better and I will not shut up and will not stop fighting about it.”

  • Jenny's been researching and supporting this for years and truly knows it works as she has a son with autism. It's very sad and anything that may work should at least be tried.
