A naturally occurring chemical called harmane is associated with essential tremor. It is present in meat, but is in very high concentrations in chicken (and I assume other poultry). The theory is that people who develop essential tremor cannot clear harmane as well as those who don't. Anyway, it stands to reason that it might be best to avoid chicken and poultry if essential tremor is an issue for you or runs in your family. https://www.medscape.com/answers/1150290-61693/what-is-the-role-of-harmane-a-heterocyclic-amine-hca-in-the-etiology-of-essential-tremor

This is very interesting because I've had an essential tremor for a long time and according to Eat Right For Your Type (blood type) I should not eat any poultry. I had a bioenergetic assessment done that indicated I should have no poultry. I had a Chinese body type assessment done and AGAIN it indicated that I should not have poultry. Thank you Jessica!

Hi Nevin, Isn't that something? Seems they were on to something. I'm glad to help! Good luck with your tremors. I believe you can have some control about slowing the progress or even stopping it...MAYBE even hope for some reversal/healing when the toxic load is lessened :)

My husband has been a vegetarian for 50 years and he has tremors. He does not eat meat or poultry. He does not take medication. We have serious concerns about side effects from medications used for tremors. One neurologist had him try two of the medications used for essential tremor however he could not tolerate either of them. One of them lowers blood pressure and his blood pressure is already fairly low.

Here is a link to Dr. Berg's video on Youtube about essential tremors that I found helpful.

I do aerobic exercises every day along with B12 5000 mcg which greatly helps with my slight tremors. I probably have to add to this regime so I will be doing some more research into neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Berg also has other suggestions in his Parkinson's videos which I will look into as well because of tremors associated with Parkinson's.

Hope this helps your husband.

This is not true, at least in this family, I have had essential tremor all my life and am a complete vegetarian, have never eaten meat, so too is my older brother, who is 65, has had essential tremor for 1 year, or father whom we got it from was 75 when he got his ET, he had a head shake, also complete vegetarian.
