DOWNS
SYNDROME
Caused by a genetic defect. These
children or young adults suffer frequently from sinusitis and increased
susceptibility to infection. Adenoids and tonsils are enlarged along
with a swollen palate of the mouth, often making
the tongue protrude from the mouth. Lymphatic congestion can often be
seen on the neck area.
MLD therapy is given intensively to start, including intra-oral drainage
of the mouth to reduce palate swelling. The results of the therapy are
excellent: the immune system functions better, therefore reducing susceptibility
to infection (no colds after several months). The palate of the mouth
is reduced with MLD treatment thus the patient's facial appearance will
reform. Cerebral lymph congestion is relieved and the occurrence of epileptic
fits is reduced.
