| If
you have or have a child with a birth defect, whether physical or developmental
(as if there were a difference) then you KNOW how society and medicine
has treated you or your child.
If
you DO NOT have a child with a birth defect, NOR have a relative or neighbor
with
a birth defect or KNOW SOMEONE, then you probably ARE PART OF
THE
PROBLEM, instead of the solution, unless you are educated concerning XXY.
"The SOLUTION
is
the end of IGNORANCE
which causes FEAR
which can be overcome with EDUCATION.
"
Quote by Jamie Holmes 1999
The
pages on this website specifically deal with Klinefelters Syndrome. |
| The
genetic pre-disposition towards a genetic condition may be affected
by hormones in a person. Just so, those with KS, can avoid the usual conditions
by Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT).
This
way the DNA Blueprint gets a new interpetation, thus developing their reproductive
organs in the presumed normal manner of development. NO TREATMENT (HRT)
= DEVELOPMENT OF Klinefelters Syndrome. |

| An
Internet mailing list has been created for the exchange of information
and support of Klinefelter Syndrome. This is a MODERATED discussion list,
created for you to exchange any ideas, information, news, comments, gripes,
fears, or whatever, related to Klinefelter Syndrome. |

List
members sometimes post reports about research, but posting hard
scientific information is not the only purpose of the list. We exchange
a lot of
information
about every aspect of living with Klinefelter Syndrome. Because
this
list is a support group, expect to see lots of supportive messages. If
you
have
a question, please post it. No question is too big or too small.
You will
probably
receive answers from several people. Please remember, however,
that
you still need to discuss your treatment with health care professionals |
