Small Amount of Wine Stops Hand Tremors

I am a 79 year old male with hand tremors, not what has been described as "pill rolling". I have tried various non pharma solutions, including what has been listed on this site, with no relief.

I have found that when I have 2 swallows of wine, my tremors go away.

My question is: has anyone else had this experience, and if they have found a natural solution to replace what I assume to be my brain's reaction to alcohol?

Google DMSO and its uses. Good for cataracts and tremors in the hands. Purchase the book and read, hopefully find an md who uses dmso. Such a great substance for so many ailments. Both humans and animals get relief almost instantly. Especially for pain.

Dietary Changes for Hand Tremors

The natural cure for Hand Tremors is to slowly reduce the amount of caffeine, sugar, carbonation every 2 weeks and you notice your hand tremors getting better and better each and every week. As you continue to do this your body adapts and becomes resistance to caffeine, sugar, carbonation and you will be cured for life!

Re: Magnesium L-Threonate for Essential Tremors

Having been with tremors for the past 8 years and have not had any relief from Rx meds. I have just started taking valerian tea at night (do not take if you have to drive as it is sedating). I have noticed that the tremors are there, but not as severe (still cannot write so anyone can read what I wrote - sometimes even myself). Will continue to try valerian at night and see if there is substantial improvements.

I saw a comment who mentioned going Gluten free helped to be almost tremor free...

Aliups Atlanta, Ga said: [YEA] I have had tremors since I was a kid (30 yrs), they started to get really bad a few years ago and that's when I was diagnosed with ET....

I went gluten free, caffeine free, aspartame free (any sugar substitute) I take Lecithin 1200mg, Acetyl L-Carnitine 500mg, L-Lysine 500mg, GABA 1500mg, Calcium 1000mg, Magnesium 800mg, Norwegian Salmon Oil 2200mg plus a multivitamin.

I have been doing this for almost three months and I am mostly tremor free. The tremors will start up if I get upset or angry, but very mild.

Magnesium Helped Son with Hand Tremors

I have searched for years how to help my sons shaking hands, I found Magnesium Glycinate stopped his hands from shaking, but it has to be taken everyday or the shaking comes back; and it takes time, 6 to 12 months to build in the system.

Transdermal Mg is an additional way to speed up the process of normalizing Mg levels in the body. Musicians / Performers deplete their Magnesium stores because of the constant noise they are exposed to, the stress of performing and the stresses of daily life. Magnesium is the Relaxation mineral, it relieves anxiety and depression.

Multiple Supplements for Essential Tremors

My dad has severe tremors in his hands. He has had it since he was in his 50's and has consistently gotten worse to the point of not being able to write. He is 80 now. He tried B vitamins with no success, then I got him some Gaba and he said he can actually read his own writing now. I am going to have him add Magnesium; I got him the spray from Swansons but I don't think he uses it. He is taking 500 mg. of Gaba; going to get 750 this next time. He said it made him sleepy so he takes it at night time only. It would help if he would change his diet, but that won't happen; so this is the best I can do for him. I also got him Lecithin granules but he keeps forgetting to eat it; he does like it though. Swansons has apple flavored Lecithin! I also got some L-Glutamine, but since he is on meds I'm a little leary of him taking it; heard it can be dangerous.
