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.
In 2006, autism became the leading disorder affecting children in the United States. While diagnoses skyrocket and parents struggle to find help, a group of innovative doctors has been pioneering therapies and treatments that are remarkably effective in healing conditions associated with autism. As word spreads about these incredible discoveries- helped in part by Jenny McCarthy's book Louder Than Words- parents are desperate to learn about the biomedical therapies for themselves.
Since early intervention is key to a successful recovery, McCarthy has teamed up with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, the doctor who successfully treated her son, to write the first book to give parents all the necessary information about biomedical treatment. Beginning with diagnosis, Dr. Kartzinel explains the different therapies that he uses. He shows parents how to make simple changes to their child's environment and diet that can result in marked improvements and are safe and easy to try at home. And finally he explains some of the more advanced therapies that many doctors use today, and the way parents, alongside a qualified medical professional, can determine whether or not such treatments would benefit their child.
For new parents, Dr. Kartzinel provides helpful guidelines on how to best protect their child from developing autism.

As a new parent who knows several people with children who are on the spectrum, I was eager to read this book to see if there was indeed some way to prevent autism. While I found the authors' personal stories regarding their own children very interesting, there was little in the way of hard-core science to back up the claims in the book with the most controversial being that vaccines may trigger autism in children with weak immune systems. (Indeed, the current studies say there is not a link between autism and vaccines.)
With that said, most of the diet and health advice probably couldn't hurt most children who are on the spectrum. Indeed, the diet advice may even help those who are not on the spectrum, but suffer from multiple allergies.
My biggest problem with this book is the anti-vaccine agenda. While McCartney states that she is not anti-vaccine and feels it is up to the parents to vaccine or not, Dr. Kartzinel is clear that he is anti-vaccine. He does not vaccine children in his practice and only recommends a single vaccine for parents who want to vaccinate their children. I truly wish there had been some space given to the pros of vaccination, but it is not to be found.
Still, there is no doubt that the authors truly are speaking from the heart and their goal is to help children and families who are dealing with autism. I just wish it wasn't so anti-vaccination.

This book is so informative and is really more broad reaching than just for autistic spectrum children. I think the advice on dietary and supplements and vitamins is also relavant for ADHD as well as other developmental delays. As the caregiver and one who loves your child the most --- DO NOT RELY on DRS -- educate yourself!! You will not regret it! God Bless! God Bless Ms. McCarthy for all she has done and is sharing with the rest of us who do not have limitless funds.

Autism, the authors believe, can be cured via dietary supplements of vitamin, minerals and enzymes that they just happen to sell and are heavily marketed and promoted throughout the book.
The book is written in a mock conversational style between the authors, where the author "Jenny" often refers to her "celebrity status" --- what that has to do with the topic of the book I don't know.
As the parent of an autistic child, I think this book is very dangerous. What makes it so dangerous is that it mixes scientifically based information with half-baked ideas or nonsense based on anecdotal evidence, thus implying they have equivalent credibility.
Autism is a complex disorder that probably has multiple causes and is a brain dysfunction. The brain is a complex organ that is both highly sensitive and adaptive. So many of the "cures" may be the result the bodies own ability to heal/adapt itself, much like the spontaneous remission that cancer patients sometimes experience.

The book is well-written and clearly motivated by genuine care. But I am so deeply troubled by the anti-vaccination agenda of the author(s), a theory which has not found scientific validation. In interviews, the author has irresponsibly stated, "I do believe sadly it's going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe." This advice to forego vaccinations is not something I would feel comfortable giving a better review for.
