This is called discussion and debate. And that is healthy and essential to medical progress. I am entitled to give my views as much as she is. Her truth, is her truth. I can respect it but I don't have to agree with it. How DARE you suggest I should! bcuzicare - I never said Jenny’s statements were not valid, I merely disagree with them.

Certainly, Jenny has sense enough to know whether or not her child is recovered from Autism or if she is just managing his condition. How can you dare suggest that it's a stretch for her to state he has healed? You don't know her struggles, or have walked in her shoes. Just because medical science does not give their stamp of approval, to alternative medications, does not mean her statements are not valid. Her miracle is her miracle. No one can change that. Respect what she says is true, and leave it at that. Remember, it was also a stretch for people to believe that Jesus "gave sight to the blind".....but yet, it is TRUE. Come on now.

Yes if there is one good thing to come out of her campaign it's awareness. I imagine most families with children with autism don't have the financial resources that she has to finance all the therapies her son receives.... making the sense of failure two-fold. Here's a <a href="http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1741-4520.2006.00094.x?cookieSet=1" rel="nofollow">link to a study</a> using animal models which shows evidence for the role of thyroid hormone in autism. hiya, thanks for your comment.

The awareness Jenny has created is amazing. But I worry about other parents like me feeling like we've failed somehow because our kids don't appear to be on the road to recovery. I hope that research will lead us to the answers very soon... No such thing as a shortcut to anyplace worth going. The awareness Jenny has created is amazing.
