My correspondence and private conversations have convinced me that the whole area of non-conventional intervention in Down Syndrome is a huge confusing mess for many parents. Even the old-timers tell me they are confused about it. Because I’ve been riding the crest of this for the last sixteen years, I’ve picked up quite a bit of information which I’d like to share with families in my local area.
So, my daughter and I have scheduled a seminar. It will cover three major topics:
- Nutritional intervention in Down syndrome
- The new Changing Minds Protocol as a treatment in Down syndrome. See www.changingmindsfoundation.org.
- Neurodevelopmental programs (ND), how they lay important foundations and move development forward.
Date: August 1, 2009
Time: 10:00 – 3:30 p.m. Central Time
Where: Ohio Township Central Library, 4111 Lakeshore Dr., Newburgh, IN 47630, in the Diamond room.
Cost: $35 at the door. If you pre-register by July 25, the cost will be reduced to $20.
Guarantee: If you don’t get your money’s worth of useful information, your registration fee will be cheerfully refunded on the spot.
Schedule:
Part 1
10:00 – 11:30 Targeted nutritional intervention, Dietary nutrition, feeding issues, and what can be done about many of the problems associated with DS.
11:30 – 12:15 The Changing Minds Protocol, neurogenesis, and memory.
12:15 – 1:00 Break for Lunch. There are numerous fast food restaurants within 3-4 minutes of the meeting site. Or bring a brown bag lunch.
Part 2
1:00 – 3:30 Neurodevelopmental programs, what they are and how they work. This portion of the seminar will be presented by Grace Kauk.
To pre-register, send a note to DS Seminar, c/o Miriam Kauk, 7622 Nottingham Dr., Newburgh, IN 47630, indicate if you are registering for Part 1, Part 2, or both, and include your check for $20.

I would love to attend your conference, but I live in Alaska, so that’s not going to happen! Have you thought about having it recorded and selling the cd and/or tapes? Good luck!
Take care,

I wish I lived close by so that I could attend. Sounds like it will be a very informative day.
Just a suggestion:
Touch on various ways to counteract inflammation: such as coconut oil, curcumin, body bio products. Sally Frautschy, UCLA Alzheimer Center also suggests fatty acids.
Dissect the components of the CMF protocol: Unfortunately, this protocol had been picked apart as a whole and there are some very unobjectionable aspects to it. Teresa did us a huge favor by bringing up the problem of inflammation but it was only touched on briefly in the movie and I’m afraid that it has been brushed aside by the medical profession.
Many parents of older children are not interested in increasing cognition but I think that all are interested in preserving their offspring’s brain and have no desire to see decline.
Dont’ present the material on a “all or nothing basis”.

Are any notes from this seminar available? I would be very interested. I am also interested in knowing whether it will be repeated.
