Reviews

"I deeply admire the courage and determination of Tenna Merchent, who exerted great efforts and left no stone unturned to find a cure for her sick little boy. I have personally experienced how devastating autism can be to a family, and while her son was ultimately not afflicted with autism, I can relate with her endless journey to find a cure to end his suffering. After two years of attempting every traditional and alternative treatment for Clay, Tenna finally came across someone who understood her son's illness and provided a responsible treatment method. It was a painful journey, but thankfully, ended like a fairy-tale."

"Journey with the author as she slowly but surely learns that her pre-autistic baby was damaged by vaccines. Merchent's awakening—and her son's recovery—revolve from a complete acceptance of her doctors' advice, to doubts about conventional medicine, culminating with extreme gratitude at discovering the extraordinary benefits of alternative remedies. A true testament to the power of a mother's love to save her ailing child from modern healthcare."

"There are countless mothers and fathers out there who can benefit directly from what this struggle for better health teaches. In the place of despair, frustration, grief and the torment in the pit of illness this work provides hope and a formula for better health for many."

"This book has given me a sense of relief that someone else has gone through what I have and come out of it with a happy and healthy child. It also began my journey into alternative medicines, doctors, and diets. I take my time making decisions that are best for my children rather than going forth with anything a conventional MD might recommend (especially if it involves just treating the symptoms with any drug, prescription or over the counter). I research and explore all possible options and I have learned how to pay attention to the 'whole child'; meaning not only my children's physical signs of discomfort, but the emotional and behavioral ones too. Everything is connected; and so far, everything has been treatable through diet and holistic avenues. I truly believe that the outcome would have been very different if this book had not started me down the path toward health."

"Tenna Merchant has written a compelling and heartwarming story about how she saved her son, Clay from getting regressive autism. In the story she mentions the MMR vaccine that could have launched Clay into regressive autism. She mentions how she used natural therapies to help Clay and herself. Our family and others have seen the devastation the MMR vaccine had on our children. When parents ask me as a parent if I would vaccinate after knowing what I know now, I say,' No', without hesitation."

— Raymond Gallup, Founder, The Autism Autoimmunity Project

 

"I applaud the author's determination and willingness to 'think outside the box' when mainstream medicine continually failed her sick child. By trusting her own powerful maternal instincts when the advice of so many experts didn't feel right, she persevered and finally discovered the simple solution that empowered herself and cured her son. Her thorough and groundbreaking research of the dangers of aluminum and the benefits of energy testing and releasing will no doubt help countless others in the future."

— Rebecca Cook, Breastfeeding Counselor, IBCLC

 

"My father is a physician so I was much more accustomed to 'traditional' methods of treatment, but Tenna's book was inspirational! When faced with a chronic illness or what seems like a hopeless situation, this book has given me just that—hope."

— Deb Castino, F.C. Tucker Company, Inc., President's Club

 

"Release, reabsorb and restore are three of the most powerful words in the world, and [Tenna] Merchent shows us how to use this prayer to heal ourselves and our loved ones in He's Not Autistic But.... I have used this prayer and her recommendations on how to rid yourself of aluminum and parasites to help restore the health of my own family. This book is truly a Godsend!"

— Kara Lane

 

"Having grown up in the home of a conventional doctor, it was not easy for
me to accept the ideology of alternative medicine. However, having witnessed the remarkable recovery of the author's son, my mindset began to change. Reading this book further helped my husband and I understand more fully the incredible benefits offered by holistic treatments, as well as the potential pitfalls of conventional medicine. It has inspired me to become more open-minded about alternative avenues and, as a result, both we and others we know have personally benefited. We are so thankful for the recovery of the author and her son, for having gained invaluable knowledge about our health, and for the inspiration provided by this book."
