Dr. Turkel's Protocol: Reduce Symptoms of Down Syndrome Naturally

How to Reduce Symptoms of Down’s Syndrome Naturally

Click here to read the basic overview of Dr. Turkel's Down syndrome cure. Dr. Turkel worked with the Turkel method for Down’s Syndrome for 19 years. He developed theories about why the trisomy 21 abnormality caused Down’s syndrome. He believed that the extra chromosome caused an increase in the manufacture of cellular products that are controlled by chromosome 21. The increase in cellular products, in turn, caused an imbalance proportionally between chromosome 21 products and the gene products produced by the other chromosomes. This imbalance resulted from the accumulation of fluids, fats, and minerals in those with Down’s syndrome. Dr. Turkel was able to successfully treat and cure about 66% of his Down’s syndrome patients and repair even physical characteristics of the disease by detoxifying the body from the excess fluids, fats, and minerals, while simultaneously providing patients with a specific Down’s syndrome diet and nutrient supplementation protocol.

In those with Down’s syndrome, anatomical structures develop at a slower than normal rate including:

• An underdeveloped brain causes developmental delays.
• An underdeveloped respiratory system makes Down’s syndrome patients susceptible to infection.
• An underdeveloped heart reduces the effectiveness of blood circulation to the brain and body (which can exacerbate developmental delays).
• Delayed bone development leads to bony articulations that are widely spaced at the joints.
• Delays in the development of the nasal bridge causes an excess of overlying skin that produces the epicanthal folds that are characteristic of Down’s syndrome.
• An underdeveloped digestive and excretion system causes the accumulation of wastes in the body.

The final bullet point above is one of the areas that Dr. Turkel chose to target in treating his Down syndrome patients. He regarded the problem of poor digestion and poor excretion as a vicious cycle that could be alleviated to reduce the symptoms of Down’s syndrome considerably. Down’s patients accumulate fats, minerals, and fluids and in 1969, Dr. Turkel followed a course recommended by Haskins to reduce and remove the accumulated metabolites in order to improve Down’s syndrome outcomes naturally. He prescribed nutrients along with enzymes to promote digestion and assimilation of the nutrients.

Using Dr. Turkel’s methods, anomalies such as the curvature of the fifth finger being straightened over time, are reduced. As the anomalies caused by the genetic mutation are reduced, the appearance of Down’s syndrome children is altered. Their development accelerates at a faster than normal pace during the first year of treatment using Dr. Turkel’s nutrition and supplement protocol. Medication must be continued until the normalization of the excretory organs otherwise edema, calcifications, and premature aging occur. This is an intensive treatment method that requires specific ingredients that must be carefully chosen. The composition of the various ingredients used in Dr. Turkel’s Down Syndrome medication are very specific. Certain substances can nullify the action of another nutrient’s action so people who wish to administer Dr. Turkel’s method for Down’s syndrome should get as close as possible to the proper nutrient and proper dose as possible. In the past, the nutrient-medicines were compounded, weighed, counted, encapsulated, and labeled.

“U Series” Proof: Using Nutrients to Cure Down’s Syndrome

In Japan, more than 3,000 patients with Down’s syndrome were treated in 60 university and national hospitals using Dr. Turkel’s “U Series” treatments under the Japanese Institute of Mental Health. The Japanese were not able to get the following ingredients for Dr. Turkel’s formula:

• Thyroglobulin
• Penty-lenetetrazole
• Organic amino-phylline

The first two ingredients above were some of the most important for improving cognitive performance. The third ingredient improves general health. Despite the lack of these three important ingredients though, the results of the Japanese treatments with Down syndrome children was as follows:

• ⅓ of the children showed significant mental and physical improvements
• ⅓ showed significant physical improvements only
• ⅓ showed no improvement

Remember though, the Japanese were missing 3 crucial ingredients in their formulation. The results would have certainly been even better if these 3 ingredients had been included.

Improve Learning Disability and Developmental Delay Naturally with Nutrients

Anyone with a learning disability can also benefit a great deal from nutritional therapies using Dr. Turkel’s formula. Dr. Turkel did demonstrate in one patient with developmental delays that IQ scores could be substantially improved using the “U-Series” nutritional supplementation for Down’s syndrome. This patient was studied in May, 1968 and began the experiment with an IQ score of 44. During the second IQ test, given in August of 1969, the patient got a full score of 72. Another test given in June, 1971 showed that the patient had a full scale score of 85. A 40 point gain over the course of four years is noteworthy to say the least and lends credibility to the idea that nutritional supplements for developmental delays and learning disabilities can make a significant difference in cognitive outcomes.

Dr. Turkel’s Down Syndrome Formula

The following nutrients were administered to cure Down’s syndrome in over 33% of cases. Improvements in physical characteristics of Down’s syndrome happen in an additional 33% of cases. About 33% of patients see no improvement using Dr. Turkel’s Down’s syndrome formula.

Note that Dr. Turkel’s “U-Series” was designed to be compounded at a pharmacy. The nutrients and medicine amounts below are meant to be combined together as ingredients and then administered in combination according to the dosage at the end of this list. Today people will generally have to seek out the supplements below and then figure out the proper dose for their child based on the dose recommendations at the end of this section. If patients have the ability to get the supplements compounded, note that ingredients like methyl paraben and paraben, for example, are toxic and should be avoided, if possible.

DOSAGES:

Each of the “U-Series” combinations should be administered according to the following dosages. In other words, the list above contains ingredients that d are meant to be combined together to produce a “full dose”. This dose should then be lowered to the proper dosage for the patient based on age.

3 months - 2 years: Administer ⅙ to ⅓ of a full dose 2-6 years: Administer ⅓ to ½ of full dose 6-10 years: Administer ½ to full dose 10 years +: Administer full doses of each U-SERIES combination

Suggested Supplementary Medications for Down’s Syndrome

Dr. Turkel also recommended the following, if needed:

• L-Triiodo-Thyronine (note that often, administration of liquid Lugol’s iodine at a dose of 1 drop per year of the patient’s age can reduce the need for thyroid hormones).
• Diuretic 
• Dental Anesthetic
• Extra Nutrient Supplements

L-Triiodo-Thyronine DOSAGE:

3 months -  5 mcg / day with breakfast  2-6 years: 10 mcg / day with breakfast 6-10 years: 12.5 mcg / day with breakfast 10 years +: 25 mcg / day with breakfast

Diuretic DOSAGE:

All patients with edema must receive a diuretic for 2 consecutive days per week during the entire course of treatment. The following diuretic is suggested by Dr. Turkel:

• Furosemide (40 mg) - administer 2 days per week (e.g. on Sundays and Thursdays) with breakfast only. 

3 months - 2 years: Administer ⅙ to ¼ of a full dose 2-6 years: Administer ¼ to ½ of full dose 6-10 years: Administer ½ to ¾ dose 10 years +: Administer ¾ to full doses of diuretics

Patients who do not have edema but who have excess calcium deposits or mineral deposits should be given extra:

• Calcium pantothenate
• Vitamin B6 / Pyridoxine
• Zinc Gluconate
• Magnesium

• Dental Anesthetic 
  • Benzocaine USP 

NOTE: Also consider giving vitamin K2 / Menaquinone-7 / MK-7 to patients with calcium deposits.
