His eyes look a bit glassy to me in the footage I have seen.

I asked because I saw her on "The Doctors" today.
Found your post in this thread http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=36964
Exactly what I was thinking.
Thanks!

i don't know if her son is "cured" time will tell how much have recovered.....the thing i know is that many children dx with autism have had a "miraculous" recovery by the age of 5, 7, or 12, etc. with treatments or without, getting very close to normalcy, others look bright as an aspergers can be.....others have fully "recovered" after doctors pinpointed exactly what their problems were.....
i like what jenny maccarthy has brought forward with her celebrity status is the possibility of recovery by using a diet, something natural....hopefully others parents will be able to generalize to see that each child is different and there is several diets and hundreds of disorders that are at the root of their children "autistic" behaviours and the answer is not just on sedate the child with psychiatric drugs...
her "diet" can be adapted cheaply by resourceful parents just buy fruits y vegetables, do not buy junk or prepared food....is simple....the baby is hungry, carry with you pieces of an orange, apple, banana, kiwi, clementines, nature's candy !!!....i have seen mothers given his babies, toddlers, "cheezitos" or a huge candy full of the corn syrup that is making us all obese....of course the mother was also heavy weight.
yes, we need to see why there is so many children with "autism" and i strongly believe the vaccines are the cause of "autism" on sensitive babies.
i recommend highly homeopathic "vaccines" because the babies' immune system is so sensitive that the shadow of a molecule is enough to get to react without being overwhelm. my take...

Geez, isabelle, you missed that... his eyes were glassy.
that's your cue... ;)

The Doctors Show Synopsis

http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/show_synopsis/198?section=synopsis

Jenny’s 6-year-old son, Evan, was diagnosed as autistic, and Jenny explains that certain changes and a positive outlook assisted in his recovery.
“He is doing incredibly,” Jenny says. “At 2 ½, he had a seizure, and that’s what led me to the diagnosis of autism. After one year of implementing biomedical treatment, which is diet, detox, supplements, he was recovered from autism. Today he is typical, first-grade, loving, so social, you wouldn’t be able to tell at all that anything was wrong or the severity of his injury that he had.
“We look at autism as an injury,” Jenny adds. “If you get hit by a bus, you don’t get cured from getting hit by the bus, you recover from the injury. These kids, a lot of them, weren’t born with autism. Maybe it was a genetic predisposition, but something triggered it that pushed them over, like toxins, like infections. And we firmly believe that this is why these kids were injured, and why we call it a recovery.”
Removing Environmental Toxins
Dr. Jerry Kartzinel works with Jenny and Evan on their biomedical treatments. The treatment includes removing toxins from the environment, increasing certain nutrients and eliminating certain foods by moving to a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet.
“It sounds like we’re treating autism, but we’re treating the complications of autism,” Dr. Kartzinel says. “I don’t treat autism, but if you have a child, for example, who does not process dairy well – either they’re lactose intolerant or the proteins get messed up and it acts like a morphine in their system – we’re saying, ‘This food doesn’t process well in your body. Let’s remove it.’ We do that for lactose intolerant people. We remove gluten-containing foods for our celiac disease patients; why wouldn’t we say, ‘Hey, I wonder if we can do some testing to validate this conclusion,’ and we can, and we remove the dairy from their diet, we remove the gluten from their diet, and all of a sudden the children may be able to sleep through the night! Sleepless nights, that’s a problem we can take care of.
“I look at each symptom, what the child presents with,” Dr. Kartzinel adds. “If they’re having problems with constipation, if they’re having problems with chronic diarrhea, if they have a laboratory test that tells me they’re making morphines from these particular food groups, or if I do an allergy test, and it tells me they have allergies from these particular foods, then you bet I’m going to pull them out.”
Jenny says the biomedical treatment worked for Evan, because when she removed dairy from his diet, he no longer had a blank look on his face and made eye contact with her. The change in diet does not work for every child, Dr. Kartzinel says, but he has had success with those where the dairy or gluten were the problems that trigger the symptoms. Some doctors do not believe the diet has been proven to help, however.
“The problem is these doctors are not in my clinic,” Dr. Kartzinel says. “They are not following me for a week or two in the clinic. They’re not watching. They don’t come to the clinics and see. They’re quick to
make judgments about what we’re doing can’t possibly be working, and they’ll say, ‘There are just no studies,’ and yet the next family that comes in. [For] my son the diarrhea went away, [Jenny’s] son improved. Why aren’t they talking to us?”
“We talk on the show every single day about living as pure of a life as you can, eating healthy, natural foods,” Dr. Travis says. “And we talk all the time about environmental toxins on this show. Whether you have symptoms of autism or whether or not you’re a completely healthy person, removing environmental toxins is a good thing.”
In addition to removing dairy and gluten products from the diet, Jenny and Dr. Kartzinel also explain that removing toxins from your environment can help the symptoms as well. By changing to non-toxic paints, removing flame-retardant products and making the environment as organic as possible, Jenny witnessed major changes in her son. “It helped save Evan,” she says. “Hopefully people will start to hear these warnings, because it’s very real.”

Autism Q&A with Jenny McCarthy and Dr. Jerry Kartzinel
• Tyler asks how to help ease their 4-year-old son, Ashton’s, sensitivity to light and noise.
• Krista’s 4-year-old son, Brian, is autistic. She says he is always sick and asks if that is due to a low immune system or something in his diet.
“My first thought, that I’ve been finding, is that when you have a child who’s sick all the time, what do we do? We do an immune-system workup,” Dr. Kartzinel says. “Another thing that can look like being sick all the time are allergies. [If] they’ve got the runny nose all the time, and they’re coughing all of the time, dark circles under the eyes. House dust-mites, things that you don’t think about [could cause it].”
• Jennifer asks about the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and how it can help her 5-year-old son, Alexander, and other children with autism.
“Hyperbarics have been around for a long time,” Dr. Kartzinel says. “You’re in a container with increased pressure – we call that atmospheric pressure – and you actually increase the amount of oxygen being delivered. It’s used for a whole bunch of things. Some things are approved uses like wound infections and diabetic wounds. But we’re using it for our kids with autism because they’ve actually done studies in
the late ‘90s and early 2000s that clearly demonstrate that children and adults with autism have decreased blood flow to both sides of the brain.
“We were thinking that if they have decreased blood flow, I wonder if they increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, if we can help these kids,” he continues. “And sure enough, studies now are showing that it can actually help the kids sleep better, they have more language, they have more presence. The parents tell me that they seem to be more with it. So it seems to be a good tool in the toolbox that’s not the fix, but it is taking care of one thing that we notice.”

Mrs. Jerome -
Thanks for posting the transcript.
But anyone else just feel like... Eeech - 'so glad I missed it'... the media needs to stop holding this up as the autism poster-mom. If she and her vaccine-hating hollywood BF feel some need to 'do the circuit' then they need to stick to one agenda they really believe in and stop fipping all around plugging this and that as the winds change. Seriously, she was all about behavioral therapy and supplements, wrote a book about it, then now they are mad-dags on the antivaccine campaign, made larry King look like a complete idiot for having a completely biased show, now hyperbaric oxygen is the way and the life? Sounds like good ole scientology methods coming in...

very interesting! i want jenny to keep on pushing "her agenda" for as long as she can...shake that can of worms! "autism" has become an industry and i don't mind if someone else, besides "experts" on autism, psychiatry and vaccine-makers, earns a profit from it...;):p... seriously, someone has to look carefully at what is causing so many children to develop "autistic behaviours" after vaccines, any vaccines.... in the production of vaccines mistakes happen again and again.....vaccines are not 100% safe or perfect, the effectiveness' record shaky....they know that, doctors know that....our children are paying the price for those mistakes, someone has to bring a stop to it, somehow.
