I would so love to win this – my year old granddaughter has Down Syndrome. At first, we were shocked as everyone is but, now coming to terms with it- she is an angel – as her Grandma I have been trying to read anything I can and have been amazed at some of the wonderful positive stories I see on line.

Just finished your book Road Map to Holland -
absolutely wonderful – you have captured the feelings of so many in the same situation.

God Bless you all.

I'd like to learn more. We don't use vitamin supplements for John. I don't think it is wrong to do so; I'm just uncomfortable with introducing something that is somewhat of an unknown. Of course, at other times, I'm so close to trying the supplements to see if I notice a difference. It's a tough call.

Thanks for the correction! I'll change the post to reflect that NutriChem makes MSB+. My apologies!

(I am not interested in a copy)

Food for thought: If YOU found something that would help with kids with Down syndrome, what would you do? I know what I would do: I would RUN FLY GALLOP to the nearest drug company, have them do a double-blind study, and market it as a regular drug, thus earning for myself thousands in royalties.AQnd believe me, the drug companies would be interested.
When someone markets at a high price to a limited audience, I suspect that it can only lead to the conclusion that it could not pass in a double blind study.

I would love to be entered into the drawing, as I have not read the book yet.

As a Mother, I take all of my children's nutrition seriously, so supplements are part of their daily routine…..like Vitamin D, etc. But I'm on the fence on the vitamin therapy issue as it relates to T21, so I welcome the chance to read this book.

Peace and love, Tara Marie & Emma Sage

I will admit that we use vitamin therapy for Mayson. At first it was hard for me to tell anyone as many people on a board I belong too are so negative about it. But we feel positive about it and know we are doing the right thing for our child. We use MSB+. Mayson has been so healthy. My other two kids were not this healthy at this age. I guess after reading parts of the Kent MacLeod book I realized that regular vitamins I buy in the store are made up for my typical childrens body make up….and the MSB+ is made just for Maysons body make up. She breaks down things differently than you are I. I am not saying that vitamin therapy is for everyone. But it sure has worked out for our daughter!!!

Actually, NutriChem makes MSB+ not Nutrivene D.
