Blum, CL, "Cranial Therapeutic Treatment of Down’s Syndrome",  Chiropractic
Technique, May 1999; 11(2): 66-76.

This paper is a single subject case history regarding a Down's syndrome child
with severe tachypnea, a history of chronic pneumonias, a failure to thrive,
chronic fevers of unknown origin, and a possible atrial septal defect. Open
heart surgery was suggested by the doctors who had previously evaluated the
patient in hope of slowing his breathing and improving his failure to thrive.
Since surgery was not imminent the patients parents sought conservative care
at my office. The patient received nutritional and cranial therapeutic
therapy which appeared to alleviate many of his symptoms within the first two
to four months of treatment. As his breathing normalized and general health
improved he no longer had need for surgery.
