Quotes from "He's Not Autistic, But..." by Tenna Merchent

Some Highlights from the book, "HE'S NOT AUTISTIC, BUT.....HOW WE PULLED OUR SON FROM THE MOUTH OF THE ABYSS" by TENNA MERCHENT http://www.joyousmessenger.com/

"It's also frightening to write about something so unconventional. Many people accept stories of healing in the Bible; nevertheless, most do not believe it can happen today. Healing DOES take place today. God still works miracles. I know, because I've lived them." pg 6

"I became extremely open-minded and would have done almost anything that was moral to find a cure for my son." pg 6

"I knew Clay was very sick, it wasn't just back to back colds-but the pediatrician didn't believe me." pg 3

"Healthy people have a balance of both yeast and good bacteria in their digestive system. The predominant thinking is when a person takes antibiotics, they kill the good bacteria in the digestive tract along with the bad bacteria they are intended to kill. This makes the digestive tract susceptible to a yeast overgrowth. Yeast needs SUGAR (corn syrup is sugar as well!) to GROW and SURVIVE." pg 13

"Aluminum kills bacteria. That's why it's so widely used as a preservative (in foods and medications). When you have aluminum in your system, it kills the beneficial bacteria, allowing a yeast overgrowth. Antibiotics are loaded with aluminum, plus they kill the beneficial bacteria in your system." pg 14

"Aluminum...causes infertility as well. It settles in the solar plexus and causes the organs, including the uterus to drop." pg 19

"Clay was ill most of the time. If he came anywhere near anyone with a respiratory infection, Clay would get it and the next two weeks would be horrible." pg 15

"One of my red flags is the thought, 'I should just get this over with.' That was how I felt about the (immunization) shots and would feel later about other medical interventions. The bottom line for me has been when I ignore them , I regret it. So now, I practice listening to them and pray for relief from my ego, which wants to run the show at my expense." pg 51

"In the world of alternative health care, there are treatments available for toxemia, but i didn't know this at the time (of 1st pregnancy with toxemia). Alternative doctors believe toxemia is simply a magnesium imbalance. When I told my OB this during my second pregnancy, she agreed toxemia is a magnesium imbalance. So why on earth didn't she put me on magnesium during my last pregnancy, when I had toxemia?" pg 20

"Allergy symptoms can be anything that didn't exist before the allergen was introduced, including behaviors like head-banging, foul moods, insomnia, and spinning in circles, to name just a few. Most people think of allergies as mucous and hives, and while they can certainly be an element of allergies, they are by no means the only ones." pg 43

"In the beginning, I didn't tell people about Clay's recovery because it is so far out." pg 94 (How sad not to be able to share a miraculous story of healing because of how skeptical our society can be towards it? Again, we share the same story on this, not many people know or want to know our healing story with our daughters!)

"I thought the Master Herbalist had some magical power. In some respects he does, because he has the power of GOD BEHIND HIM. He would be the first one to tell you that he doesn't do the healing, Jesus does. Anyone can become sensitive to these energies..." pg 96

"My recommendation is, don't go (to an Herbalist) as a patient, but as an apprentice. Put your faith in GOD, and you can (learn to) be a tool for HIS healing." pg 125

"He (the Master Herbalist) already has more business than he needs or even wants. He is a family man who has deep faith in God. He has spent a tremendous amount of time studying herbs and prayer, and now he has students like me taking his work out into the world" pg. 121

"My lack of faith interfered with my ability to help myself and others. (thinking) I am too great or too small for one of God's assignments, which of course, is not true. We are all totally capable of being one of God's tools. His loving power will do great things--things we could never do on our own, like healing." pg 97

"I have been told that my son was sick for my benefit. If it had not been for him, I would have continued my unhealthy lifestyle and never been cured of myself. " pg 98

"....when aspartame (in Diet soda) reaches body temperature, it turns into formaldehyde. What I didn't know about aspartame was that I was highly addicted to it. I really struggled with the decision to give it up. I loved my diet sodas and looked forward to them. I had done the Weight Watchers diet in the past and believed it was a healthy and balanced diet. (Weight Watchers) allows aspartame.... I experienced withdrawal for at least 2 months...the withdrawal I experienced and the mourning I went through over having to give it up just confirmed to me how deeply addicted I was." pg 57, 58, 59

"After getting a clean bill of health on an energy level for my fertility I saw my fertility doctor. He didn't think there was much chance I would become pregnant, nevertheless, he was willing to cooperate with my request. The test was PERFECTLY NORMAL! I became PREGNANT, with NO HORMONES, NO SHOTS, and NO INVITRO FERTILIZATION. I was finally FERTILE at age 43! (my first pregnancy) I had taken so many drugs, months and months of hormone shots. I had numerous blood tests, ultrasounds and repeated disappointments when my cycle started each month. This time I was free to enjoy my pregnancy without the tether of fertility treatment." pg 114

" It seems that everyone I meet is sick or has a sick family member. Crohn's, Cancer, Lupus, and Alzheimer's are all curable, yet many do not want to do what is necessary to heal and recover" pg 4

I'm hoping that if this has peaked an interest, that you might chose to read this overwhelming, inspiring story for yourself! Thanks for reading!!!

BOOK in REVIEW: "He's not Autistic, But..." by Tenna Merchent

"He's Not Autistic, But...How We Pulled Our Son From The Mouth of the Abyss" by Tenna Merchent, Master Herbalist, Doctor of Naturopathy. Her Website: http://www.joyousmessenger.com/

I am reading the book for my second time through to highlight and make note of comments that stand out and are meaningful to me. The first time I read it, I was trying to absorb it so fast that I didn't want to take the time to highlight or mark pages....I read it completely within a 24 hour time frame! This book is one that gives hope to exhausted parents who battle behavior and medical problems with their children...it helps one to see "the outside forces" acting on our precious little ones from the moment they enter our world. These outside forces are so common in our everyday lives that we DON'T and sometimes even WON'T acknowledge them. Aren't you curious to know about why some babies cry for hours when people dismiss it as simply being "SOME BABIES CRY FOR NO APPARENT REASON"? Or why some children are destined to have poor health for the rest of their lives, and parents write it off as being "BAD GENES or a TOUGH BREAK FOR THE KID"? This book gives immense hope, faith and comprehension to people who are looking for answers about health from our heavenly Father.

After reading the book, you will begin to have your eyes opened to God's perspective on our lifestyles and you may not like it, but if you acknowledge it, your relationship with Christ will bloom--you will forever be changed for the better! This book not only deals with natural healing, but also faith healing--which is something so many people are skeptical about now days because of all of the "false healers". Tenna Merchent teaches you how to connect with your maker in a way that not many people connect now days--through depending on Him and His ways for healing. My faith grew as I turned the pages of this book!

There are a few things from this book that stirred by soul completely down to it's core....
  1. The fact that her story was frighteningly similar to my husband's and my experience with our children, except we had all the issues to a slightly lessened degree that she mentioned over a time frame of 4 years between two children. Therefore, it wasn't as drastic as her experience. However, we got answers right away after starting our search, and she unfortunately had to have several bad experiences with natural health practitioners before finding the Master Herbalist who helped her.
  2. I know of 3 Master Herbalists now, who all share the same two qualities with one another: DEEP faith in our Savior Jesus Christ whom they give all their healing knowledge and abilities to. Knowledge to turn around almost any health condition to start the healing process. These qualities ALWAYS win people over to Christ's healing methods & the idea that his healing CAN and DOES happen in our times and our country! Master Herbalists seem to have the special gift of healing, so encourage you to find one and learn from them!
  3. The courage she has to share her story completely with sparing no details --she took the chance to reach even those who aren't yet "ready" with a "prepared heart and open mind" to receive her story or fully believe it!
Take a step of faith and order the book from Amazon.com for as little as $9.....please join me in changing our lives to living from a whole different perspective! Also, you've done so good with e-mailing me with questions in the past, please feel free to do this if you chose to read the book. I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions--you'll be in my prayers!

Book Highlight: He's Not Autistic, But.....

Let me introduce you to the new book that will be on my nightstand in a few days:

HE'S NOT AUTISTIC BUT... HOW WE PULLED OUR SON FROM THE MOUTH OF THE ABYSS By Tenna Merchent.

My Prayer For This Book (by Tenna Merchent)

"Lord, I ask that this book lift the spirits of those who read it. While our journey was a painful one, and it seemed like an eternity at the time, it was only two years. Many families face a lifetime of autism or serious illness. You saved us, and showed us how to become and stay healthy. I thank you for this most generous gift. I request I successfully share it with all those who are interested. "

"I pray people are empowered by this book. Please help them come away from this book seeing. feeling, and knowing how easy it is to be healthy with the tools you have given all of us. Lord, I pray the appendix grows to meet the specific needs of all those who read this book and want your help. Please guide me to answers for them. "

"God almighty, I ask that this book reach people. I pray it communicates the message how damaging aluminum, yeast, and parasites are to our health, both physical and emotional. I pray it warns parents of the immense danger that lurks in each and every vaccine. Lord, please open the minds of all involved to the risk of vaccine damage. (PLEASE VIEW THIS VACCINE WEB PAGE FOR INFO ON THIS TOPIC: http://www.informedchoice.info/cocktail.html, )"

"God, I ask that we find a natural cure to all cases of autism, no matter how severe. Thank You so much God, for the opportunity, blessing, and gift of writing this book. I pray I am forever Your joyous messenger and humble servant."

Tenna Merchent --http://www.joyousmessenger.com/

After hearing the buzzing around, seeing it on another BLOG, and then viewing the website for it, I WILL NOW HAVE TO READ IT MYSELF! It sounds like a story similar to many of the people I know.....turning to natural methods of healing for a child when nothing else has helped. Prayer is the most powerful method of healing there is, and many people are finding natural health to be their answer to their humble prayers.

Here's the excerpt I read from the Oils For Wellness BLOG a friend writes( http://tinyurl.com/aj2qy8 ): "I could not put this book down! (It's) Not on the subject of aromatherapy, but a must-have for any mom to read. The author exudes amazing faith that ultimately leads her and her son to find the origin and cure for their illnesses using natural medicine and prayer. I was greatly inspired by her story and have included the prayer that Tenna penned in her book(above). May your belief in prayer and healing be challenged and bolstered by this mother's journey. "

'He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son from the Mouth of the Abyss By Tenna
Merchent. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 166 children is born with autism. Tenna Merchent is only too familiar with this frightening statistic as she feared her own son might suffer from this devastating disorder. When her son was born, he seemed healthy. But by the time he was six weeks old, the infant cried for hours each evening if he wasn't constantly nursed. As the months went on, Clay frequently was seriously ill.

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 severely allergic to numerous things, constantly sick, and suffered from nose and chest congestion. He had systemic yeast, was terrified by sudden noises, wouldn't sleep for more than two hours straight, and was unhappy most of the time. All of his symptoms pointed to the possibility of autism. And to make matters worse, Merchent herself became seriously ill.

This book describes her journey through traditional medicine, then the move to alternative care.
The miracles begin when she discovers a master herbalist who reveals to her the primary cause of their ill health: aluminum. The simplicity of fully curing both herself and her son is astounding, and she illustrates the art of releasing in detail here. Also included is an invaluable list of remedies for common ailments, as well as a section on resources for herbs and homeopathies.

I was absolutely ecstatic to see that Ms. Merchent has experienced similar healing results with her children as we have with ours through Natures Sunshine Vitamins and Herbs! She uses 2 main Herb Companies, one of them being the one we have chosen to stick with, after seeing the phenomenal results. Here's the web address for Natures Sunshine: http://www.mynsp.com/dewittsunshine/Products/Categories.aspx

I was also fascinated with the fact that her miracle story started out reflecting certain aspects of ours with our daughter: (Her child often walked on his toes, was extremely allergic to many things, constantly sick, regressed in communication, sought out sensory stimulants, suffered from severe nose and chest congestion, experienced systemic yeast, was terrified by sudden noises, and there wasn’t a week that went by when she or Clay didn’t see a doctor.) We also share the same story in closure as well: it was a Master Herbalist who finally turned things around for Ms. Merchent's precious child, which was what changed things for us, as well! Ours has not only helped with the few autistic characteristics one of our children had, but she also eliminated the need of insulin for our second child who was born with Diabetes.

Please keep in mind that just because a Health Practitioner uses different methods of testing and treatment, doesn't mean that it's any less effective than medical treatments! (Sometimes even more so, as proven with this particular book!) If we do not fully understand a testing or treatment method of someone who has been educated in Health, then we should educate ourselves on it....not discount it. God puts certain people, ideas, philosophies, methods, knowledge and practices in our path for a specific reason, and we should trust him with it before turning our backs on it. If you do not fully understand something in natural health......please ask more questions until you understand it! It is in times of our trust and curiosity that God can really reveal his miraculous ways and help an individual to find healing.

It is Satan's desire to keep you sick and afraid of other alternatives to effective healing, it is God's desire to get you well to serve him to your fullest potential. If you have not found healing from an ailement, or if you have/know a child who keeps struggling with an on-going health condition.....PLEASE try/encourage them to try something new by searching out a solution....even if it seems wierd, scary or even if you're hesitant...we owe it to ourselves, our family, and our creater to not "deal with" our health problems, but rather "heal with" them! Please pray about a solution and God will help you to find it!

I pray that your heart will be open to reading this book along with me! I have mine on order and plan to review it in a future BLOG. In the mean time, please share with me (thru e-mail, BLOG comment, facebook or by phone!) if you plan on reading this book, too, so that I may pray for you as you read it. Thanks for reading!!!

In Christ, Whol-E-Herbster
