Autistic child or not, it redeems science from those who choose to make it the scapegoat for their own fear and misdirected grief. <br /><br />I don't watch Oprah regularly, but I plan to write her a letter. Maybe one person at a time we can get across to her the harm she is doing by giving McCarthy access to so many impressionable viewers....https://www.blogger.com/profile/08080883622099219293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457910449479696677.post-85051064680907206092008-10-24T10:15:00.000-05:002008-10-24T10:15:00.000-05:00I just started reading your blog--great post.

I get their newsletters, have for many years, gives me info and possible article ideas.<BR/><BR/>If I heard Oprah correctly she asked Jenny to do the interview of the Mom. Seems she is trying to make her into an Anderson Cooper/Lisa Ling reporter. Yikes!<BR/><BR/>I wanted to see the Mom since I learned through reading blogs of another Mom going through similar issues after an infection she developed prior to her C section.<BR/><BR/>http://www.komonews.com/news/28125714.html<BR/><BR/>I hated that Larry King show too where she yelled at Drs and used an inappropriate word on tv.

It helps, but it doesn't cure autism. And it doesn't help every kid. <BR/><BR/>(btw, I tivo Oprah, so it's not like I'm saying I don't usually watch the show)KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372754569684182231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457910449479696677.post-47798524007237355352008-09-25T11:49:00.000-05:002008-09-25T11:49:00.000-05:00It's with a moderate sense of shame that I admit I...It's with a moderate sense of shame that I admit I did watch much of yesterday's episode. I typically don't watch her general nonsense, but as I'm test-driving the rock-star lifestyle this summer, I find myself doing many things I didn't anticipate.<BR/><BR/>When did Jenny McCarthy become an "expert" on anything? In reality, she was on schlepping her book on "Warrior Moms" - a label she took upon herself as a reward for her dogged persistence in "curing" her son. It was pretty tough to sit through...<BR/><BR/>Here's my question: I've heard of this so-called "cure" before - rather the instances of reduced symptoms and behaviors as a result of a specific diet. Is there really no validity to this? Why the growing movement of people saying a natural cure is possible? It IS popular science these days.<BR/><BR/>In my defense (and Oprah's... I guess...) the other Warrior Mom was a quadruple amputee who was pleasantly inspirational.<BR/><BR/>...my two cents...MinuteCynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049101335843424025noreply@blogger.com
