Dear friends,

A son (15) of a friend has been diagnosed with Tourette Syndorm and he is apparently the only one in the country. Consulted doctors here and in France have offered sedative drugs and also quite surprisingly they mentioned hands on healings (the French guys!)

I am wondering if any of you practitioners from all fields have had any experience with that syndrome and if so what did you do and what were the results. Thanks in advance

P.S. Tourette (TS) Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by tics -- involuntary, rapid, sudden movements that occur repeatedly in the same way. To receive a diagnosis of TS a person must have both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics, not necessarily simultaneously, throughout a span of more than one year. The tics may occur many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or intermittently. Tics periodically change in the number, frequency, type and location and wax and wane in their severity
