Beating Autism: How Alternative Medicine Cured My Child
Autism is epidemic! In 2010 the Centers for Disease Control reported that 1 in 68 children were identified with autism spectrum disorder, a 30 percent increase from 2008 and a 60 percent increase from 2006. Yet, there is really no such thing as Autism Spectrum Disorder, only undiagnosed children. Conventional doctors are no help because they are restricted by the guidelines of the American Medical Association. So what is a parent to do?
Beating Autism is the personal story of Anne Evans’s struggle to find answers to the cause and cure of her daughter’s condition. Evans left the world of conventional medicine and found not only the source of her daughter’s autism but clear steps to her complete healing through complementary and alternative medicine and allergy elimination. She found out how the underlying cause of any disease, including autism, could be determined and healed at the level of quantum physics without the use of expensive equipment, pharmaceuticals, or surgery.
From that moment on, the Evans family used Integrated Chinese Medicine (ICM), and Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) to diagnose the condition of Sarah’s brain tissue, analyze her dietary needs, detoxify her organs, and boost and redirect her own immune system to fight off invading pathogens without the use of antibiotics or psychotic drugs, or invasive procedures. Sarah showed improvement immediately and recovered completely.
Beating Autism is the compelling and detailed story of Anne and Sarah Evans’s three-year struggle battling and overcoming autism. It is a case study that includes full explanations of the daily drug-free treatments, details of the side effects and their durations, and a complete list of materials, metabolic and psychological tests, laboratories, and clinicians used. For the past fifteen years Sarah has been fully functional with no signs of the disorder. In Beating Autism you will find out how to set your child on a path to recovery and beat autism too.

I was interested in this book as a clinical social worker who works with children with special needs. I received a free review copy from Goodreads, with a lovely note by the author. It took me a while to begin reading it because it looked very clinical, full of lists, charts, testing results. When I finally did read it it turned out to be a quick, easy read.
The author writes about her daughter, Sarah, who was diagnosed with Autism, among other things - and I couldn't believe how long it took for the pediatrician to send the child for testing. It actually seemed like malpractice to me, although I believe all of this was quite a number of years ago so maybe early intervention was not practiced the way it is today. When conventional medicine was not helping, or offering a cure, the family turned to alternative treatments including nutritional intervention and energy medicine. (The question of whether or not autism should be "cured" is not addressed in the book).
What follows is a very detailed account of the child's treatments and her reactions to them. Andrew Wakefield was referenced without mention that Western medicine at least considers his work to have been invalidated. The premise of the healing is based upon the theory of immunizations causing autism. I will say that reading the book helped me to better understand the idea behind this theory.
The treatments that the child goes through, while not in themselves painful, cause her such constant and sharp swings in her physical symptoms, behaviors, and functioning that I was surprised that it took the child's school a whole half-year to decide that they couldn't handle it anymore. Sarah then continued her treatments while being home-schooled. There was constant references to "overnight miracles" which were followed by severe downswings and recurrence of symptoms.
In the end, the author maintains that her daughter is cured. She tells us this rather than shows us; we don't get a real picure of the child as she is now, we only get a list of her accomplishments. This makes itt hard to judge whether or not all of these treatments were worth it, although the author certainly thinks so.
The weaknesses of the book are clear to anybody who believes mainly in conventional medicine. The book might be a good guide for parents who are searching for other options for their child. For me, the best thing about the book is it's premise that much of what we call "mental illness" can be attributed to other causes such as nutritional deficiencies, allergies, etc, and can be successfully treated through alternative medicine. I think that we need to do more to explore this possibility.

It´s a great and well written book and easy to understand. It´s also very informative and revealing about unconventional medicine and shows the reader the opportunities of alternative medicine.
The western medicine has its limits. Anne M. Evans documented the way of healing of her daughter and shows that nothing is impossible. Even things beyond the blood-brain barrier can be cured with unconventional medicine.
The book gives hope, not only for children/people with autism. It gives hope especially for all the disorders for which there is no cure.

This is a book I won in a Goodreads giveaway offered either by the author or publisher. I want to say a great big thank you for their kindness. I am now passing this book on to another person, family member or friend who may also benefit from this book. My library is so full, I need to share and the best way to do that is to give this book away now so someone else may enjoy the words between the pages.
I am passing this book to a family member who has a son that is of concern. May the words in these pages be inspirational to them.

I think that this book is a must read for anyone with a family member who has autism. The pictures, charts and tables are extremely helpful to understanding the information. Also the charts in the back are great for comparing results.
