NutriChem founder Kent MacLeod, leading world expert on Down Syndrome and Vitamin Therapy, unlocks secrets of improved health, behavior and intelligence in the book "Down Syndrome and Vitamin Therapy"
"Parents-and concerned physicians-this book is truly must reading!
-Bernard Rimland,PH.D.
[Ottawa, Canada] January 26, 2004 Kent MacLeod, a pioneer and world authority on the impact of nutrition on the biochemistry of children with Down Syndrome released his newest book today, "Down Syndrome and Vitamin Therapy: Unlocking the Secrets of Improved Health, Behavior and Intelligence".
Mr. MacLeod has dedicated over 25 years to developing highly patient-centric treatments for Down Syndrome to tens of thousands of families in over 20 countries around the world.
His latest project began with much of the work his company, NutriChem and its unique approach to nutritional therapies has accomplished for Down Syndrome. He explains, The NutriChem company philosophy is three-fold, to treat the bodys systems as an integrated whole, separate fact from fantasy, and solve problems without harming the body.
Mr. MacLeod doesnt promise miracle cures but what he will guarantee are solutions for everyday problems and most importantly, prevention in the future. His vast experience (and the experience of families you will meet in the book) indicates definitively that nutritional therapy can make that difference.

Ongoing research and translation of research into usable forms has led to the creation of groundbreaking nutritional supplement formulations which are used by tens of thousands of people with Down Syndrome.
The book is based on Mr. MacLeods experiences over the years. He has spoken around the world on such topics as Down Syndrome, cancer treatment, Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism and Womens Health. To further his dedication to providing unique and very individual solutions for healthcare, he and his team established the Metalife Biomedical Center where physicians, pharmacists, biochemists, and key health professionals come together to provide a complete service for patients demanding the best in medically-managed complementary health.
Mr. MacLeods research, and the foundation of the book, is built on the scientific philosophy of *orthomolecular treatment*. Dr. Abe Hoffer, a collaborator on the project explained, It (orthomolecular treatment) emphasizes the use of organic molecules that are normally present in the body. When the biochemical abnormalities are corrected with the right nutrients in optimum doses the disease comes under control. In the case of children with Down Syndrome, the children gain the intelligence their genes have organized for them, their behavior becomes normal, they become productive and do not suffer the stigma of a chronic disease.
Down Syndrome and Vitamin Therapy is well-rounded in its coverage of how supplementation can work with traditional medicine and in many cases, work alone to Treat the Problem, and not the Down Syndrome. Each chapter begins with a *What Will I Learn* segment and all claims are equally backed up by both scientific evidence as well as parental anecdotes on the biological effects of Down Syndrome.
Most striking, is that even given the complexity of topics covered, the book is incredibly informative and easy to understand. The writing techniques used bring down to earth topics such as free radicals and oxidative stress, biotransformation and the elimination of drugs and Acetylcholine and the SAM Cycle all the while using relevant context through case stories. Many useful parent support resources are referenced throughout the text.
Mr. MacLeod and the NutriChem team are part of a three tiered entity, that its patients have coined The Wellness Hospital. The Wellness Hospital is supported by three separate and yet very integrated groups: The NutriChem Pharmacy for leading edge nutritional and pharmaceutical solutions; The International Center for Metabolic Testing (ICMT), a full blood and urine biochemical testing laboratory; and The Metalife Biomedical Center, an integrated care center based on fundamental nutrition where biomedical and hormonal issues are managed by the team of experts.
Kent [MacLeod} is the repository of all the world's knowledge accumulated on Down Syndrome, metabolism and nutrition
