Caused due to abnormal number of chromosomes called TRISOMY 21, there is an extra chromosome that brings about abnormalities listed below.

Abnormalities are:-

This is how they are born:- Flat face, large flat nose, hypotonia of muscles, epicanthic folds (extra folds uder eyelids), large protruding lower lip, short and broad hands, simian crease on the hands, upward and slanted palpable fissure, high arched palate, hypoplasi of middle phalanx; may have cardiac malformations.

This is what they can develop as complications:- 1) Varying degree of mental retardation 2) Cardiac problems 3) Leukemia 4) psoriasis

This is to what extent they can be helped:-This is a genetic abnormality and cannot be cured. But surely Hompoepathic trearment can help these children to overcome the handicap and be to as near normal as possible. Earlier the age of starting the treatment better the results achieved.

Again we need to reiterate homoeopathy treats Man in disease and not disease in man. This means the genetic make-up of the patient is taken into consideration to strengthen the immunity. This has an added advantage. The patients immunity does not get impaired easily and therefore the Mongol child does not develop complications easily.

Results obtained by treating about 53 such children constitutionally are:

a) Mental retardation have been minimized. In fact some children whose treatment was started as early as the third month, have become intelligent enough to go to normal school and compete with normal children with 55 to 65 percent marks.

b) None of the children developed psoriasis. One child who was brought to the clinic with psoriasis was completely cured of psoriasis with no recurrence for last 13 years.

c) No child developed any cardiac complications nor leukemia.

d) One child brought to us as diagnosed case of leukemia, did not survive.

e) These children under homoeopathic treatment seem to have faster development and faster milestones.

f) Three children’s parents reported surprising facial changes bringing them near to normalcy.

g) A few of the Mongol children are attending normal school.

Treatment advised is long term. Although no cure is ever possible, in GENETIC abberation the minimum devopment of complications and reduction in the mental retardation makes us strongly advocate constitutional treatment to these children.
