Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 McCarthy's diet cure Actress McCarthy claims she helped her six-year-old son Evan overcome autism by feeding him a strict diet containing no wheat or dairy. McCarthy claims she helped her son overcome autism. The actress - who believes six-year-old Evan became autistic after having an MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) injection aged 19 months - says a strict diet free from wheat and dairy cured Evan, adding she has now made "a deal with God" to spread the word about his miraculous recovery. She said: "I heard Evan laugh -- I jumped on the bed and started screaming. When he finally hugged me, I prayed, 'Please God don't let this be the only time.' "I made a deal with God. I said, 'You fix my boy, you show me the way and I'll teach the world how I did it.' " 's comments have reportedly been criticized by the American Academy of Paediatrics, an official body which does not believe there is a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. However, 35-year-old actress claims the organization is simply refusing to accept evidence which does not fit in with previously held beliefs. She told Us Weekly magazine: "Evan was non-speaking, hands flapping in the corner and didn't know anyone was in the room. Look where he is now. I healed a vaccine injury. The Centers for Disease Control and American Academy of Paediatrics won't endorse or even look at our treatment." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
