The pioneering work on a treatment program for Down’s syndrome was begun over
fifty years ago by the late Henry Turkel, M.D. Dr. Turkel’s treatments, which he
called his “U series” medications, consisted of a combination of nutrients and
drugs formulated to compensate for some of the metabolic errors which result from
the extra 21st chromosome (called trisomy 21) which causes Down’s syndrome.
Turkel’s U-series contained vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, digestive enzymes,
lipotropic nutrients, an amino acid, and numerous drugs (thyroid hormone,
antihistamines, nasal decongestants, and a diuretic). The FDA stopped the interstate
distribution of Turkel’s U-series medications and refused to issue a New Drug
Application for them. Nevertheless, U-series medications were determined to be
legal for distribution within the state of Michigan, where over 5,000 patients were
treated with some success.
