GLOBAL HEALTH TRAX ADMIRES JENNY McCARTHY’S FIGHT AGAINST AUTISM;
October 8, 2008 |
SPONSORS GENERATION RESCUE FUNDRAISER
Vista, Calif.; July 14, 2008 - Actress and best-selling author Jenny McCarthy has established herself as a tireless crusader in the search for a cure for autism and advocate for nutritional regimens to help manage the disease.
McCarthy incorporated the Global Health Trax™ (GHT) flagship specialty probiotic product, ThreeLac™, into her autistic son’s nutritional regimen and shared her experience in her recently published book Louder than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism. ThreeLac™ probiotic is a fungal and yeast-recovery/reduction product providing selected beneficial microflora to the intestinal tract, and it is distributed exclusively through Global Health Trax. Many parents of autistic children have adopted nutritional therapies and diet changes including what is known as a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet which restricts wheat and milk products.
On July 19th McCarthy and Jim Carrey will host a private celebrity fundraiser for Generation Rescue, and Global Health Trax is proud to be a sponsor of the event. Generation Rescue is an international, parent-led movement of scientists, physicians and parent-volunteers helping more than 15,000 autistic children begin biomedical treatment. The biomedical philosophy approaches childhood neurological disorders as symptoms of underlying physical conditions including build ups of toxins in their young bodies, food allergies, gastrointestinal distress, and yeast overgrowth.
In 2002 McCarthy gave birth to Evan who as an infant was full of life, making eye contact and smiling, but at age two Evan began having seizures. After countless doctors’ visits, a neurologist gave Jenny what she described as a devastating diagnosis; Evan had autism.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in every 150 children born in the United States has autism and it is estimated approximately one million in the U.S. have this disorder. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the U.S. today.
With no known cure to this disease, McCarthy embarked on a mission to improve her son’s life and health. Her unwavering determination and refusal to settle for a “no cure” diagnosis prompted her to do extensive research that led her to GHT ThreeLac probiotic. On page 200 of her book, McCarthy writes, “This is the stuff that really made Evan excrete yeast and start talking more.”
Today, McCarthy reports in an editorial penned for CNN that her son is much improved, and she attributes the improvement to the changes made at home to his diet: “We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines. Once Evan’s neurological function was recovered through these medical treatments, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis helped him quickly learn the skills he could not learn while he was frozen in autism.” (To reach the full editorial see: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/02/mccarthy.autsimtreatment/index.html.)
