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 NaturalTreatments, 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. |

A must read if you are interested in natural remedies... by A. Wolf (Hamburg, PA USA) 5 Stars
May 16, 2009
If you or someone you love has tics or Tourette's and are interested in natural remedies, this book is a MUST READ. Rogers walks us through the process of identifying what triggers the tics and deciding what treatment to try. One size does not fit all - she helps us figure out what our individual problem areas are, using questionnaires and checklists. She spends a lot of time talking to parents with affected children. She acknowledges that some changes will be difficult, such as dietary changes, but she stresses involving the whole family. The book is done in a very readable style - no page long sentences or words you can't pronounce! The real life stories of 11 families was a highlight for me, as well as the memory-assisting review boxes at the end of each chapter.
