There is still hope.. My best friend who is also 35 has also had ticks his whole life..

Through Tao breathing and relaxation techniques. Plus stretching exercises. Plus a little pot now and again. He can control them to the point they disappear.

When he stops they come back though.. He reckons a few hours a few times a week.. He decides when he needs to..

It may be neurological but it can be controlled with the mind..

Make sure your son eats enough potassium and sodium in his diet also.. Ie, bananas and salt!

Good luck..

this. There is no way of "curing" when the brain is wired in a different manner.

Tin sulfide.

Or cannabis?

the cure is, natural selection!

My fiance has tourette's.
t is hereditary, but skips a generation, so look to your son's grandparents. It doesnt always present the same. for women it is more like OCD. Plus in mild cases it disappears, so his grandparents may seem just fine now, but perhaps as a child?
Also, try not to focus on "fixing" him. The tics will gradually subside and likely be gone by his early twenties. My fiance now only has some mild verbal tics, usually only when he eats. It is more adorable than annoying or disruptive. What I would suggest is just be super supportive and nurturing. People with Tourette's often suffer from anxiety or depression or paranoia. These silent symptoms can easily go unnoticed by parents, but do the real damage. My fiance still has lingering anxiety. And he spent many years alone with few friends and no girlfriends. When I met him he was still silent, but boy did I wear him down. He is now quite a happy fellow. But as for the tics, I wouldnt medicate your son unless they were really bothersome or offensive.

This "tics or spasms" could be an early warning sign of a VERY SERIOUS DISEASE!

Stop fucking around looking for a "natural" cure and get this kid to a top notch Neurologist and have it worked up. Your child could be dealing with something life-threatening and you're worried about "natural cures"?

What kind of an an idiot parent are you? The child needs medical care and needs it now!

My daughter is and 7 and has a very mild case of tourettes. We took her to the neurologist and and he said she is a 1 out of 10 on the spectrum of severity and would probably grow out of it. I noticed the tics seem to come and go...right now she has no signs of them. A big concern for us was her socially and how other kids would react to the strange body movements. We were counseled to never make the child feel bad and encourage them to know to to respond if somebody points them out. We stress that it's normal for her and it there is nothing really wrong with her. She deals with it well. I often wonder how this happened. I asked the doctor if taking prescription depression medication caused this, but the doctor stated there was no historical research to back that claim up. Nobody in either side of the family has ever had this so I really don't know. Good luck.

A gallon of vodka.

try oreganol p73 super strength

it helped my muscle spasms from perimenopause hormonal issues

Healthy, biologically alive soil is the basis for nutrition security for all people and every single organism on the Earth. Within our limited and deteriorating supply of topsoil is the foundation for the nutrients essential for human health and the health of all other organisms on Earth.

In the United States and throughout the world there is a widespread lack of adequate nutrition in both in the agricultural soils in which food is grown and in harvested food. A critical need exists to halt the alarming declines in the world’s supply of topsoil and to increase the nutritional values of our food.

To maintain good health, humans need good food with both vitamins and minerals. According to the USDA, Americans lack the minerals, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and the vitamins A, C, D, and E. Without needed minerals and vitamins, research has shown that people develop chronic health conditions. More and more nutritional studies have linked many of today’s most prevalent disease to nutritional deficiencies. Changes in the Nutritional Content of Beef and Chicken....
Nutritional research has revealed the critical inter-relationship between vitamins and minerals and optimum health. Both vitamins and minerals are needed to maintain human health. We obtain them by eating food from plants and animals. Deaths from Heart Disease....

Minerals may be more vital to physical and mental health than vitamins. Minerals assist the body in a multitude of biochemical processes. Minerals are inorganic compounds found in the soil. Foods grown in soil depleted of minerals do not contain the minerals needed to sustain human health. Minerals go Down, Disease goes up....


“The alarming fact is that food – fruits and vegetables and grains – now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed nutrients, are starving us no matter how much we eat of them.” U S Senate Document 264, 1936

I think your tadpoles were missing a leg or something.

have him checked for nutritional deficiencies. i know you eat organic, but, are you vegetarian? vegan? raw food?

vegetarian i can kinda grok, but the raw food/vegan diet is REALLY bad for kids.

You mentioned sports and athletic in more than one post. I would want to eliminate dehydration and salt issues.

E.g eat bananas daily for potassium, magnesium orotate supplement which has high absorption, and sea salt, not losalt, real seasalt. it contains loads of great minerals.

Magnesium is very important for huge numbers of nerve related functions.

Do you know what makes non fizzy sports drinks taste so good ? They contain salt! which is what your body craves after a workout. Unfortunately it's also loaded with sugar and the salt is basic sodium chloride, not a sea salt rich in minerals.

Go with this for several weeks but keep in mind that a full check with your doc is advisable because tics could indicate other underlying causes.

Im sure you could make a smoothy recipe for this.

Banana, magnesium orotate, quarter teaspoon sea salt and honey to balance the salt taste, half cup of milk, scoop of protein powder, half teaspoon cocoa powder, all slapped into a blender. One of these every morning instead of sugar cereal sounds great to me.

the medical "care" system is killing people with dangerous drugs and stupid ideas about what is a proper diet. anyone who doesn't use their own intelligence to make good choices about their own health and instead relies on the medical profession that is based on profit will pay a price.

Funny, this post sounds like it was written by a child. An uninformed one too.

My doppleganger must have been using my computer again.

My ex-husband had mild Tourette's, sounds like your son. He didn't have verbal yelling but had tics, grunts, twitches, etc. Even in his sleep, I felt so bad for him, he never ever complained or played the victim but refused to go into a library or movie theater with me and I know it's because he was self-conscious of the small sounds he made.

He was put on Haldol from the time he was 10 until he was 18. So you are wise to not go to a traditional medical doctor yet. Haldol is a hardcore anti-psychotic and it makes me ill that they gave it to this poor little boy; because of that drug he slept all through school and eventually got kicked out of school, one ignorant teacher called him retarded in front of the other kids. This was back in the 60s when Tourette's was less well-known. Actually he was very intelligent and also a great baseball player like your son. Sports seem to help.

During our marriage he smoked pot daily and it really helped. When he ran out he'd get irritable and had anger issues and I don't know how much of it was prior damage from the years of Haldol on a developing child's brain, how much was the Tourette's, etc.

It was hereditary from his mother. When he found out he had a 12-year-old son he hadn't known about, his first question to the boy's mother was if he had inherited the tics. It's a really rough problem because so many other people are not kind or understanding.

If it's not bad, then he'll be ok. I've had that ever since I was a kid. I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was a kid, and medicated for it for a while. Eventually I told my parents I didn't want to take anything anymore, and they respected that. I had to get a second opinion from another neurologist saying I didn't have Tourette's before I could join the Navy.

It might be vision strain from school. The Bates Method might be useful.

I didn't know there were so many doctors lurking on GLP.

Anything that relieves or prevents stress will help so there are quite a few good ideas on this thread.

Most alternative therapies work by relieving stress so you will just have to try a few out and find out which is most helpful and practical for your son.

I would try to keep any of the associated superstitious nonsense that goes along side of many of these therapies away from your son's ears.

You could end up upsetting him and making more stressed if he thinks that he is possessed or is given some unhelpful label.

Interaction with animals, calms the symptoms of many neurological disorders. Horses are used for therapy on those affected with Autism; the rhythm of the horse's stride is calming. A house pet might be a good influence.

Sounds like this is mild, and I hope you seek professional advice to rule out something as simple as a speech impediment, like stuttering, that could also can cause ackward movements, and can be improved with speech therapy.

Good luck.

Cannabis will help just try it fuck the law when health is involved do what it takes.

GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the advice, I should get some blood work done to see if he has any food deficiencies or allergies

I would say on a scale of 1 to 10 he is probably a 1.5. The weird thing is that his tic could go away overnight, but then a new on would start seer days later. When he was younger iit was more subtle sounds or even deep breaths, but now it is more muscle twitches. It says he is stretching when he does it.

Pls try magnesium. Google magnesium and tics. Also add quarter teaspoon sodium bicarbonate to water thatch drinks. This helps removes waste products from bloodstream.

The tics go away at night when the metabolism is low an the bloodstream is not overburdened.

Does he wet the bed ? Another symptom of magnesium deficiency.

It you let him drink say a litre of coke, does this increase his symptoms ?
