Autism & Marijuana RELEASED: A Mother's Fight to Save her son's life

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 10, 2010 -- Seen on Good Morning America, The Doctor's TV Show, Fox Morning News and CBS Early Show, Mieko Hester-Perez is finally telling her story from the beginning, meet Joey's Mom in her Ebook release: A Mother's Fight to Save her son's life "Joey's Story" Autism & Medical Marijuana

If theres one thing that pediatricians and parents can agree on, its that raising an autistic child can be extremely challenging. With that in mind, its no surprise that parents are willing to try almost anything to improve the life of their child. Mieko Hester-Perez falls into this category and recently resorted to giving her 10-year-old son, Joey, medical marijuana after his weight dropped to 46 pounds because of his unwillingness to eat. Hester-Perez claimed that she did some research, and I found a doctor who actually had a protocol for medical marijuana in children diagnosed with autism, which led her to trying the remedy herself. Describing her son, she said You could see the bones in his chest. He was going to die. In addition to his refusal to eat, Joey also displayed self-injurious behavior and, according to Hester-Perez, was a danger to himself and others.

Hester-Perez, desperate and seeking any treatment that might benefit her son, gave him a pot-infused brownie. Within hours after consuming the brownie, Hester-Perez said she saw a change in Joeys appetite and demeanor; he seemed to calm down and began requesting foods he had never eaten before. Although he still cannot communicate verbally, Hester-Perez told reporters that he is now down to just three medications a day, whereas prior to the marijuana brownies, he was taking 13 medications each day.
