Product Description
This welcome guide explains how to treat tics and Tourette’s syndrome using natural and alternative therapies, from nutritional therapy, behavioral and counseling therapies, EEG biofeedback, and homeopathy to bodywork, energy medicine, and Chinese medicine. Author Sheila Rogers discusses categories of tics including spasmodic facial movements, eye blinking, mild sounds, and humming. She persuasively counters the medical establishment’s standard claim that such disorders are “mysterious” and based 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, Rogers 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 book offers advice from medical experts, the latest reports in medical research, a checklist of common tic triggers, inspirational stories from families who have successfully conquered tics and Tourette’s, and practical worksheets for readers to use in their treatment and research. Each of the 23 chapters includes a place for notes and “Takeaway Tips” summarizing key points.

This book is worth the money for me. My son has had mild tics since he was a young child. I wish I had the knowledge back then that I have today about food additives and allergy foods, but I didn't. He is now in his mid 20 and the tics have increased and gotten worse. This book caught my eye bacause I know, now, how food affects us, both mentally and physically. My 90 year old uncle was told when he developed cancer to just go home and enjoy his last days. Prayerfully, he researched cancer and found that the food we eat can have a HUGE affect on our body's ability to heal. He eliminated all gluten, dairy and sugar from his diet and within a 9 month period, his cancer was gone! The doctor, being a conventional doctor, couldn't understand it, but said just keep doing what your doing! My point is that this book also has these 3 foods as culprits, so I bought it for my son. He is in the process of reading the book. I am confident that if he can eliminate these foods from his diet, his symptoms will improve.

I am about a third way through this book and it has given me hope. My teenage son has had mild to moderate tics for a couple of years now and this book has given me some possible ideas on why and how to research this further. The personal stories are great and made me aware of how many people are going through similar situations and how many different levels of tics there are. Many thanks to the author and families in the book!
 Mostly "non-scientific" alternative medicine December 12, 2009

I am an RN and am conditioned to favor very scientific researched evidence. Although I appreciated the books attempts to link things such as fluoride, aspartame, pesticides, mold, yeast overgrowth, and allergies to Tourette Syndrome, it seemed that most of all links were "hearsay" and letters from readers. It would say something like "many people report that eating sweet increases their tics."
Of course I believe that having a healthy body (exercising, eating well, sleeping enough) will make anyone's tics better, I couldn't buy into the stretched logic that drinking fluoride in water exacerbates tics.
After reading it I just felt completely frustrated like everything from the dust in the air to the sugar in my sons corn cereal was making his tics worse. I finally went online and watched this hour long Tourette seminar from the leading Yale expert Dr. John Walkup and I felt enormously better. You can get to it by going to the Tourette Syndrome association website and clicking on the newly diagnosed link. I was able to get the facts that I was craving.
I hope I haven't offended anyone, that wasn't my intention. This book simply wasn't what I was looking for.
