Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Even the British thimerosal study indicated that well _maybe_ it increased tics. So, you just want to keep chelating. We have a long history of very high level of heavy metal exposure. Vaccines, amalgams, until 1953 (US, similar in the other settler countries) the use of mercury teething powders and arsenic/lead-arsenate as pesticides, lead pipes are still used in many old houses and many cities, not to speak of paint on the walls. So, while susceptibility may be genetic (and linked with intelligence, unfortunately) that does not mean it is an environmental issue.

I never really thought about it much until I saw my son with tics of his own that he is not able to stop (he touches his nose constantly, even when it isn't snotty). I realized I can't really stop myself from doing these things, either. Does anyone know what the could cause this? I have considered that I may have been a PANDAS kid but I don't know what kind of testing I would do on myself at this point (I'm 35). From what I understand from an aunt there are other people in my family that also had tics--my grandmother's sisters and brothers--although I have never met them. Are such things genetic? Would it be worth it for me to try a few weeks of Olive Leaf Extract to see if it would help? Thanks for any advice you can give, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
