Actress and activist Jenny McCarthy is speaking out about how diet and supplements can (allegedly) help ease symptoms of those diagnosed with autism. She feels that doctors in the US are too quick to dismiss the benefits and do not advocate it enough to help people in need.

She says, “I’ve been speaking to moms across the country who are all shouting out the same thing: ‘This (diet and supplement intake) is working.’ It’s so heartbreaking to see the medical community not support something called diet and vitamins. And it pains us, city after city after city. I see this heartbreak on these mom’s faces. Autism isn’t covered by (medical) insurance. If things like diets and supplements are working, then why not support it? These kids are getting better and I will not shut up and will not stop fighting about it.”

There is a lot of speculation on what has caused the dramatic rise in autism in the recent years and what to do once a child is diagnosed with it. McCarthy, who is currently dating Jim Carrey (who she has referred to as ‘the autism whisperer’) has a five year old son, Evan, who suffers from autism.
