Mr. Driskill claims that you can't find information on the internet. However, he takes these three pages directly from our website. Even more unfortunate, he changes a small amount of the information to correspond to his own theories. I write about Don, a child who improved significantly on an anti-yeast diet and nystatin. Mr. Driskill uses my words, except that he adds "magnesium rich foods" to the mix. That was not part of the study. I would beware of anyone who not only plagiarizes information, but changes medical information to suit his own theories. You can find the information on my website at www.nutritioninstitute.com/tourettesdisorder.html. You can compare it word for word with Driskill's book. I am happy to assist anyone with Tourette's or other disorders.

I would encourage you to investigate all the things I mention above, particularly getting sugar, refined foods and environmental toxins out of your child's life. As well as candida overgrowth and food sensitivities. I would also read the book I suggest above by Doris Rapp and encourage you to find an alternative health doctor, which can be done at: Academy of Environmental Medicine http://www.aaemonline.org/ American Holistic Medical Association http://www.holisticmedicine.org/ American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. http://www.naturopathic.org/ Doctor of Orthomolecular of Medicine Orthomolecular.org My knowledge base on Tourettes is basic, you need an expert. All the best. Cynthia Hi Jeff,

He spends about 12 hours a week at the gym doing gymnastics (a true passion for him) and as he prepares to do an event he starts doing these many tics (he also does it throughout the day). Obviously exercise is not the issue, but he is a very picky eater. He does have ADHD which we haven't medicated because he has been able to 'contol' it (we have two other children that have been using medication for ADD). We don't want to medicate him (partly because of the high level gymnastics he is competing at) but are very interested in any sort of natural alternative. I was online and came across a book called 'Stop your child's tics today' by Steve Driskill -- have you heard of it at all?? My son has also been taking L-Tyrosine which has helped with his focus but does nothing for the tics. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
