Hi Jessica,
It's not bursting anyone's bubble to be a good friend and keep them out of harm's way. She probably feels very helpless (as many parents of chronically ill children do) and wants to believe that Mannatech is working. The stuff doesn't work and it's a fraud. Please be a good friend and help her understand that she's wasting time, effort and money.
Down's Syndrome, like CF is a genetic problem. Neither condition can be "fixed" or "reversed" or "cured" by nutritional supplements, no matter what anyone tries to say. In my personal opinion, parents who forgo actual scientific medical treatments and medications (e.g. enzymes, mucolytics, antibiotics) and instead favor of unproven "natural remedies" for cystic fibrosis are committing child abuse. I'm not saying you or your friend are doing this, but I know some people are, and it makes me upset that this happens.
