[Canadian Doctors]

Hi there,

we have been to the clinic in Burlington--we found her not helpful at all.

 

We ordered the very expensive 23 and me kit--and she literally looked at 3 pages out of the 20 and blatantly said " well you need to deal with your tourettes", also "try elimination diet".

 

ugh--sorry for the bad news.

 

I recommend the book available here-- as well I have just ordered the "Hemocode" to see what the results are for him.

 

 

hopefully that helps.

[How long does Magnesium take to see improvement?]

about the magnesium...

does anyone know a over the counter recommendation for the dosage/company??

 

i also heard that B-6 and multi-vitamin help as well!

 

thanks

[Has anyone had any experience with CBIT?]

Hi there,

is this the UHN Clinic at Toronto Western Hospital?

 

I am wondering for the treatment ended up going?

My partner is 26 and on the list to be there soon--how are the doctors?

 

anyone else have an positive results?

 

Hi Amy,

We are having great success with the CBIT so far. We are happy and surprised by the results and most importantly my daughter is very happy with the changes she has seen too. I too read the book Nix your tics first, but like you - I wanted to go at it with professional help guiding us along the way. She goes once a week to the Tourettes and tics clinic at a hospital. She only gets to work on one tic at a time - and she learns a competing response to it - that replaces the big tic movement - with a small unnoticable and unpainful movement. It is really interesting - for we have spent years telling her to ignore the tics and not talking about them to some degree - but this actually gets her to focus on the tic that is giving her the most problems -whether it be a painful or embarrassing etc. But along with the CBIT is a lot of councelling on anxiety, worries, which I think has really helped her a lot too. I wouldn't have thought of her as an anxious child - but it seems more underlying for her. It is a slow process - going for one tic at a time, but I have noticed other tics she has have decreased as well. I think it is the first time in 7 years that we don't feel so anxoius about it for we feel like she has a game plan.
We still use magnesium, multi vitamin and a pretty clean diet - but we've been doing that for years now.
Are you in Canada or the US?

Hi Lisa,

I was doing some research on CBIT and came across your post. I would really appreciate your feedback on this technique. My dd is 11 and she is suffering from tics since the age of 9. I just purchased the book "Nix the tics" (haven't received it yet), but would be hesitant to try anything on my own without professional guidance, so I was looking into CBIT as a possible option to inquire.

Regards,
Amy
