Home Remedies to help ease the symptoms of Tourette's
Tourette's Syndrome (aka TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics: involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. Current research shows that Tourette's is possibly caused by an abnormal metabolism of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin.

[YEA] 02/17/2008: Farah from Boulder, Colorado writes: "I wish to thank the person who suggested sticking one's head into the freezer for a few seconds as a temporary cure for Tourette's. My beloved husband, who is 40, is starting to show mild symptoms of Tourette's - like opening and shutting his mouth rapidly and clicking his teeth. The remedy suggested is as simple as a remedy can ever get, and I hope to suggest it to him the next time his symptoms show up. Thank you!"

[YEA] 07/29/2006: Anonymous from Brush Prairie, WA writes: "Hi, I have been living with Tourette's Syndrome all my life, though the symptoms didn't really start until I was around 12 years old. One of my more notable symptoms was rapid, uncontrollable, eye blinking. I am 22 now and have recently figured out a treatment for the symptom. Whenever it starts, stick your head in a running freezer. I know this sounds crazy, but it works. It has something to do with the frosty air that comes out when you open the door. You should see relief within a few seconds of doing this. For best results, make sure the door isn't completely open(lightly rest the door on your head so more of the frosty air reaches your eyes). I really hope this helps somebody, it does me."
11/10/2009: Screename from Plano, Tx replies: "Just a thought: I noticed under the ailment Anxiety the remedy of a cold shower that must include the head. I wonder if a daily cold hair wash in the sink would suffice to forestall Tourette's symptoms--if these two ailments, Tourette's and anxiety, have some relationship. -?"

I had a severe case for years as I got older my tics improved and they got down to where I was LIVING A NORMAL LIFE....
I know I don't eat alot of things with high cholesterol... I don't drink alcohol and I don't do anything that does not make me happy in life..."
