Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 An example of what is possible for people for DS: Here is a recent YouTube recording of Neal, Cody's son, reading to himself. It is quite inspiring and should cause all of us to rethink what is possible for people with DS. Obviously, we have no " proof " that he is actually reading anything - he could be pretending, but I have faith in that what we see in this video is the real thing. No pictures, lots of words: I'm impressed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJiSvXTziEE & feature=channel_page No matter what your viewpoint is on the Changing Minds protocol, has managed to help Neal by increased neurogenesis through BDNF, providing GABA antagonist through GB and control behavior through Focalin-XR. The oils are also a huge factor in Neal's success. I'm not personally fond of stimulant drugs such as Focalin-XR but one of the 5 drug targets mentioned in the last DSRTF newsletter is to increase levels of norepinephrine, a neurotransmiter derived from dopamine. I hope that this video clip would encourage those of you on this list to continue support for DS research - the ultimate goal being a FDA approved treatment.
