Evan is recovered from autism
I am so sincerely happy for cutie Evan, Jenny McCarthy’s son who has recovered from autism! This is a miracle that actually can become reality for all.
Despite criticism from the American Academy of Pediatrics, Jenny says she helped her son, Evan, recover from autism.
Jim Carrey’s girlfriend believes the MMR vaccine was to blame for her son’s diagnosis. The cure was in strict no wheat-and-dairy-free diet. She told UsMagazine.com:
Before the vaccination, he was huggy, lovey, snuggly. Then it was like someone came down and stole him.”
McCarthy, 36, remembers when Evan began to come out of his shell while watching a SpongeBob :
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.’”
Doctors have accused McCarthy of creating fear of necessary vaccines. Nevertheless she’s the bestselling author of five books, including her newest, Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds.
She’s even reached out to John McCain – who spoke about the importance of autism awareness during Wednesday’s debate. But as it turned out, those were just the empty words.
We tried. 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.’”
What a bastard. Never say something you don’t give a damn about.

Are you kidding? “This is a miracle that actually can become reality for all.” I am truly at a loss for words. People Magazine is not a peer-reviewed medical journal, so the three page article about Jenny McCarthy’s unsubstantiated claims as to the curative value of wheat- and casein-free diet and the evils of childhood vaccinations is hardly worth the ink with which it is printed. I cannot even begin to explain how much misinformation McCarthy spreads. I teach a special education class and have worked with a lot of autistic kids. Celebrity crusaders, though pure in intentions they may be, leave the parents of these kids so confused and distraught. A modified diet sounds great, especially when you have endless resources like McCarthy, but when you have six kids and earn little more than minimum wage it is essentially impossible to afford the pricey specialty foods she suggests. The parents I know who have tried modified diets just end up disappointed. Sure, enough research will turn up a child like Evan. That’s called anecdotal evidence. John McCain was right to retract his statement – he was raked over the coals by the scientific community. I understand why it is so tempting for parents to believe claims like those of Jenny McCarthy and Holly Robinson-Peete. They give the illusion of control over a condition about which we know too little. This is the 21st century; we should be able to fix our children and keep them healthy. But fringe groups like these are best considered akin to JFK conspiracy theorists. Despite that a certain scenario (vaccines do not cause autism, JFK was shot by a whacko named Lee Harvey Oswald) may be proved by science (countless medically and statistically sound studies as well as the removal of mercury-based preservatives, the Luis Alvarez recoil experiment), a few highly motivated people will cling to and propagate misinformation out of a desire to “educate”. In doing so, they plant seeds of doubt in the general public and may inadvertently cause greater harm. Nothing says health crisis like a large chunk of children vulnerable to the illnesses that caused mass epidemics prior to the development of vaccinations. Enjoy your polio and smallpox.
