Down Syndrome

DOWN SYNDROME BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT

At the age of 3, a disfiguring physiognomy, standing and walking only with support, patient doesn’t recognize the parents. At this time, she, after-ripening-treatment of Haubold, begins. Four experts negate the possibility of the treatment. The case goes before the German Federal social court.

At 14 years of age, Uta attends the 4th grade of a normal school, reads, writes and counts (with mistakes) up to 100. At 21 years of age Uta works in a hospital as a nursing assistant, rides a bus daily to work in the city, and even has a medical insurance that covers all but the treatment of any disease(s) due to Down syndrome.
