very interesting. topical GABA treatment shows promise in down syndrome
Dimethy Sulfoxide Therapy in Severe Retardation in Mongoloid Children
is anyone testing or using topical gaba or l-theanine
Here is the link for the Spanish language text of the 1976 study by the Aspillaga group.Actually, the therapy was DMSO itself. I do not see anywhere in the text that they dissolved GABA in it. I think their goal was to have some DMSO inside the organism, which would allow existing GABA to better reach the meninges and the brain.

The information is similar to the English version listed on the dmso.org site, which may be a version of the 1975 article published in the Annals of the NY Academy of Sciences. The information listed describes both DMSO and amino acids given to the treatments groups by (intramuscular) injection, with oral amino acid supplementation done during the non-injection (“rest”) months for the treatment group. There is limited information on preparations.
It is noteworthy that clinical improvements in many measures were seen in the treatment groups, 40 years ago, when little effective therapy was available was Down’s syndrome children.
