Getting Started on the Changing Minds Foundation Protocol

Hello, my name is Christine De Silva mother to precious little 22 month old Gregory, who has Down Syndrome.  I've started this blog so we as a community in Tucson and the surrounding area can share notes on how our children are doing with on Changing Minds Foundation Protocol. We had a great CMF seminar this past Saturday, the treatment protocol was presented by the founder Dr. Teresa Cody from Houston Texas.  Parents learned that "yes" available treatment to help their child with DS is "NOW"available.  I will do my best to moderate discussions about the protocol and share with you all that I have done with Gregory who has been treated with the CMF protocol since he was 5 months old.  Please feel free to start discussions, ask questions, share ideas!!!  Looking forward to blogging.

  1. Hi Christine. As a parent that is excited to begin the full protocol of CMF, I just wanted to say "Thank you" for starting this blog. I am truly looking forward to talking with other parents who are beginning their journey, along with the experienced parents, in the CMF Protocol world.
    After the amazing and informative seminar on Saturday in Tucson, I have made an appointment with a well established developmental pediatrician in Phoenix for Monday. Very excited to hopefully get the rx to begin the entire protocol.
    Over the past year, we had been giving N fish oil and ginkgo biloba. However, after talking with Dr. T Cody in November, we added in the PC oil and the body balanced oil. We also increased Noah's ginko to the recommended amount of 3mg per pound, 3x per day.
    Basically, we are implementing the entire protocol, minus the med's.
    Hopefully, next week, we will be adding in the Prozac as well...
    Updates to follow...

    1. Hi, I just read your blog about Noah, "wow" that is fantastic that you are seeing improvements by increasing the Gingko and adding the oils. It's putting all the "pieces to the puzzle" together!! Hooray for Noah! :) Gregory started walking this past Monday, we are so delighted. I have been very happy with his cognitive development thus far, but a little disappointed with his physical, hopefully it will continue to progress. Hope all goes well with the Dr. next week, keep us posted!!
