Jenny McCarthy believes that removing gluten and casein from the diet can help cure autism, and feels it has been a major factor for her own son, Evan Asher.
"We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and antifungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines," McCarthy said. "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."
