Digest Number 708 - Down's Syndrome

[Jeff Sutherland]

Robin Murphy has successfully treated Down's syndrome with homeopathy. On
one of his audio tapes he describes a case where 80-90% of the symptoms were
eliminated and the child went on to college and did well along with peers.

Dear Grace, there is a lot of debate about the causes of Down Syndrome -
almost as much as the cause of ANY chronic or permanent condition.

As a chromosonal condition Down Syndrome usually occurs because of the extra

chromosone on number 21 (which is why the condition is also called trysomy
21). But it can also occur because of problems due to other chomosones such
as 5, 7, 13, 15 - maybe others I am not sure. Depending on which is
affected can determine a great deal of difference between individuals. The
so called 'mosaic' form of Down syndrome hardly carries any of the common
physical appearances and the intellectual function is not greatly disturbed.

On top of that Homeopathically speaking, every person is an individual
regardless of diagnosis even though there might be some very common symptoms

to take into consideration.

That aside, to answer your question - many researchers now think that it is
due to 'sticky' chromosones and not necessarily just age. Some people, as
they get older, tend to get sticky chromosones but if the tendency is there
parents of any age can be affected.

I will leave it to our american friends to let you know of a classical
homeopath in the area requested.

Good luck, and as a parent who chose to adopt a child with down syndrome
your friends are in for a wonderful roller coaster ride - no difference
really - having children is 'having childen'.

Best wishes, Joy Lucas
