He's Not Autistic, But...

Mother Heals Son’s Autism, Starts Private Practice
“Releasing” Offers Hope of Recovery

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The word “autism” makes headlines daily and is getting more attention with celebrities like Jenny McCarthy sharing their stories. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 150 children is born with autism, boys outnumbering girls 4 to 1. These frightening facts become terrifying to parents when a doctor brings up the word “autism” in reference to their child.

Tenna Merchent, author of He’s Not Autistic, But…How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss, knows this feeling firsthand. “When my son’s doctor said ‘a child like your son who is at risk for autism’, I felt like he had hit me in the stomach with a baseball bat.”

For Merchent, this meant the beginning of a nightmare for her and her son. When Clay was born in 2001, he seemed healthy, but by the time he was six weeks old, he cried for hours each evening. As the months went on, he was frequently ill and by the time he was two years old, he could say only a few words, would bang his head for no apparent reason, often walked on his toes, was extremely allergic to many things and constantly sick with severe nose and chest congestion. These along with other symptoms pointed to autism. And to make matters worse, Merchent herself became seriously ill.

He’s Not Autistic, But ….is the moving story of Merchent’s persistence and relentless search for answers and the cure for her son’s illness. It describes her painful journey through traditional medicine, then the hopeful move to alternative care. The miracles begin when she finally discovers a master herbalist who reveals the primary cause of their illnesses: aluminum. Clay’s illness, however, had been exacerbated by the vaccines he was given. The simplicity of fully curing both herself and her son is astounding, and she illustrates the art of releasing in detail.

Clay has made a full recovery, and Merchent, who now has a private practice in naturopathic medicine, no longer suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome, Epstein-Barr, yeast, and infertility. “I am now able to treat myself, my family, and my friends,” says Merchent. “I am no longer helpless against illness.”

Merchent got her Master Herbalist degree, and just completed her doctorate in Naturopathy. She lives in Noblesville, IN with her husband and two young boys. In addition to her practice, they own and operate the award-winning Purgatory Golf Club. Her book is an Award-Winning Finalist in the Health: Alternative Medicine category of the National Best Books 2007 Awards.
