I just finished reading...

Unraveling the mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

Now you might think it's strange that I would read this book considering I have no autistic children, but it was the only book I had on my list to read that the library had! I am in the process of researching the dangers/benefits of vaccination and found a recommendation for this book at www.bulkherbstore.com.

The book was so good. It was a very quick read and read like a novel. It's the story of a mother who's son was diagnosed with autism, how she researched and worked with her child to CURE him. It's an amazing story, and YES I believe it is true. While the autism part was interesting, the most fascinating part to me was how what we eat can have such a huge affect on our bodies. I also loved that this mother did not just accept what the pediatrician and specialists told her, which was that her son would suffer for the rest of his life, but that she took action.

Back when I was a Speech Pathologist, I worked with lots of kids with autism. I'd see a kid go completely foggy-headed after drinking cow milk. The mom took milk out of his diet, and suddenly therapy was MUCH easier with him! Saw the same things with these kids and gluten-free diets. It's amazing!
I'm a big believer as well!
