Product Description
Stories of hope and recovery from a nation of parents of autistic children, by the high-profile, bestselling author of Louder Than Words.
When Jenny McCarthy published Louder Than Words, the story of her successful efforts to save her son, Evan, from autism, the response was tremendous. It hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list; and Jenny and Evan were featured on the covers of several magazines, including People. But what she hadnt anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children, who sought her out to share their stories.
No two autistic children heal in exactly the same way. And in her new book, Jenny expands her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country. Mother Warriors, shows how each parent fought to find her own childs perfect remedy of interventions and teaches parents how to navigate safely through the many autism therapies.
Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother as well as the progress of her son, Evan. Emotional and genuinely practical, Mother Warriors will inspire a generation of parents with hope.

 BEST BOOK ABOUT AUTISM October 8, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
We have an 11 year old autistic son and we recommend this book. It gives HOPE and INFORMATION. There are stories of recovery and there's a resource list to help us do all we can for our children. Parents of autistic kids aren't just listening to the physicians anymore--we are listening to each other, too. Autism is a diagnosis that includes many TREATABLE symptoms, and these kids' lives are being improved by biomedical interventions. Our son has benefitted from a special diet, vitamin supplements, and chelation. If you have a kid in your family who is autistic, read this book.
AUTISM HOPE October 8, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
Because of Jenny's Books (which I only read in the last week) I have hope again for my Autistic Son. 3 months ago I saw Jenny McCarthy in a magazine for a Generation Rescue Benefit. I then went to the website, saw the information, found a DAN doctor and have started testing & supplements etc. While it may not make sense to the medical community at large the biomedical approaches have had wonderful success in reversing Autism. I thought my 10 year old son would never improve because thats what the medical community had instilled in me that Autism is not reversible. Bottom line period...nothing can be done.... However, after seeing Jenny, reading her books as well as other biomedical doctors, and hours of research on the internet I started to have hope. Now of course I am only a few months into this BUT my son IS TALKING MORE. Full sentences, better eye contact, bathroom smells & bowel movements already improved in such a short time! I am not expecting miracles but to have a child "improve" even slightly is worth everything as a parent. Kudos to Jenny McCarthy, and the Biomedical doctors, parents, reseachers, and anyone else out there who is bringing hope to MILLIONS of parents with Autistic children. After 10 years of losing hope I have found myself reborn and can only hope that everyone embraces the idea without past prejudice that maybe just maybe there really is something going on here with these kids. If you know anyone who has Autism read this book, and start to hope again.

A dangerous, dangerous book - and woman October 7, 2008
5 out of 13 found this review helpful
The sheer ignorance of science and medicine that is CELEBRATED in this book is extremely frightening and dangerous for the health of America. To all of you who refuse to vaccinate your children -- your arrogance and ignorance is putting all of our children at risk! Just witness the recent rise in measles and mumps.
Folks, we are living in the middle ages. "Mommy knowledge" does not trump science and medicine. Jenny has done a tremendous disservice to the country, and too her child, by supporting the quacks who mouth the anti-vaccination line.
Please, do not support her ignorance by buying this book.

I can not put this book down. It is amazing what you can do for your children by just your gut feeling whats wrong with them.(and of course lots of research) My son is doing so much better after the treatment like changeing his diet, B-12 shots and some supplements he was lacking. His Dr never even mentioned them or new about them. His exzema is gone he is happy and in school all day! I thank Jenny for being so bold and fighting against opposition. Thank you! Susanne
