Publisher's summary

This welcome guide explains how to treat tics and Tourette syndrome using natural and alternative therapies, with a focus on environmental medicine and nutritional and dietary therapy. The status of behavioral and counseling therapies, EEG biofeedback, homeopathy, bodywork, energy medicine, and Chinese medicine as approaches are explored.

Author Sheila Rogers DeMare discusses a range of categories of tics including spasmodic facial movements, eye blinking, mild sounds and vocalizations. She persuasively counters the medical establishment’s standard claim that such disorders are “mysterious” and based only in genetics. The dramatic spike in cases, she argues, belies this explanation. Natural Treatments for Tics and Tourette’s takes a closer look at the environmental factors and underlying physical imbalances that trigger these conditions’ symptoms.

In this second edition to Tics and Tourette's: Breakthrough Discoveries in Natural Treatments, DeMare offers a detailed natural treatment plan. No more will patients have to rely on traditional, drug-based treatments that often carry multiple side effects.

In eight sections, the audiobook offers advice from medical experts, the latest reports in medical research, a checklist of common tic triggers, and inspirational stories from families who have successfully conquered tics and Tourette’s for listeners to use in their treatment and research.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

re-energized

I have a son with autism that has benefited with dietary changes, but without support from that rest of the family I could fight against their refusal to remove items from the house and was burned out and let it go. I now have a daughter on the cusp of being diagnosed w/ tourette's . this book has re-engerized me in my efforts to make the changes needed and stick with them.

Helped me think about my TS differently

I never thought about allergies contributing to my tics. I'm finding out that they do, because of this book.
