Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Stan kurtz website may be helpful. Seems to be helping lots of the different neurological diseases. I know adding magnesium helps but I read recovery stories from tourettes from complete diet changes. maggie_orourke wrote: > Does anyone here have any experience with Tourettes?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 My 13 year old son has TS, it invariably is present with the symptoms of ADHD or OCD, very rare that one sees ticks alone. Rage is a feature of co-morbidity. Of course, my son has mercury poisoning, so now I see all these symptoms in a different way: his system's response to vaccination and the mercury load I gave him as a birth present unwittingly. On the other hand, my son has flourished since knowing there is a name for what he does; we've done all the linking with the TS Foundation in Canada, go to the conferences, etc. Much like anyone with a health condition, knowing he is not alone has been really positive for him. And for me. With that said, he knows the link to heavy metal poisoning and is prepared to start chelation as soon as the dmsa and ala arrives in the mail...Helen [ ] OT (kinda) Tourettes Does anyone here have any experience with Tourettes? I know someone who's 6 year old was just diagnosed and would love to point them in the right direction (groups, treatments). TIA, Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Helen, I wish you and your son the very best and thank you for this message. I just talked to the child's father and he's so overwhelmed. I know when I share stories like yours he will have renewed faith. You're in my prayers!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I highly recommend the Tourette Syndrome Association (TSA). They are a very positive and empowering group. They meet every other year in andria, VA. The meeting this year is April 4 - 6. There are local chapters. It is designed for kids and families. They bring clinicians to the national meeting to discuss treatment and cures. There are a number of successful people with TS who make presentations and mingle with the participants. These role models give the kids and families hope for the future. Check out this link . . . http://www.tsa-usa.org/ > > Does anyone here have any experience with Tourettes?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 While not an expert on this by no means, has this child been on any ADD meds? I have known of a few younger kids getting ticks from these meds. If not..disregard. Other things I have read are related to heavy metals like copper. A Hair test is a cheap non invasive way of knowing if this were part of the problem. I would not underestimate environmental toxins..vaccines, food chemicals... I know this information is kind of general, but ruling out a heavy metal problem would be the first step. > > Does anyone here have any experience with Tourettes?

The rest disappeared with chelation and anti-virals. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
