Reporter #1 ( Morales): ³Your son Evan is 5 yrs old and we were

talking about what a breakthrough you¹ve been able to make with him because

he has autism. And I know you¹ve been such an inspiration to so many women

around the country you were telling us that you¹ve become an advocate for

finding cures.²

: ³Absolutely. It didn¹t just happen to Evan. It happened to

thousands of kids- kids are getting better. And I¹ve been speaking in front

of moms across the country who are all shouting out the same thing- this is

working! And it¹s 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 moms¹ faces going -autism isn¹t covered

by insurance. Things like diet and supplements are working. Then why not

support it? These kids are getting better. AND I WILL NOT SHUT UP and not

stop fighting about it.

Reporter #2 (Ann Curry) : ³In fact, you speak to thousands, you say, women

every week. You¹ve become... You¹re writing a book about this. This idea

of being a warrior for your children.²

: ³There¹s so many mother warriors out there, the name of my next book

in the fall. Traveling and seeing their strength in their faces and the

magnitude of pain that¹s going on across the country. I wish a member of

the CDC, or the FDA or American Academy of Pediatrics could stand next to me

on the front lines, and go with me across the country to see these women who

have a voice that no ones listening to. And I say, you know what- they

might have silenced our kids, but they are not going to silence the

mothers.²

Reporter #2 (Ann Curry): ³Well they certainly haven¹t silenced you and your

son is doing really well.²

Reporter #1 ( Morales): ³Good for you.²

: ³Oh ya- we¹re gunna...² (makes a hand gesture like she¹s punching

someone)

Reporter #1 ( Morales): ³You¹re going to fight. You¹re going to

fight all the way².

: ³Ya²

Reporter #1 ( Morales): ³Well I know a lot of moms across the country

are applauding your message today.²

Reporter #2 (Ann Curry): ³ McCarthy affecting our hearts and our funny

bone.²
