  1. Hi everyone, My 12 y.o. daughter has been tested (hair test) for heavy metals through my naturopath. Her results indicate off the charts for copper and silver, and abnormally high for nickel. My naturopath arranged for her to start on a mild detox, but on Day 8, her tics exacerbated so much that I had to pull her off the detox. Prior to that, she had been on probiotics and Herbal G.I., which seemed to keep her tics "in check", although she still had tics that bothered her. She is now back on the probiotics, and we are hoping to have her tic exacerbation settle down again soon. Does anyone here have any experience with their child having heavy metal issues? What treatments did you follow, and did they work? Thank you
  2. Hello, I am new to these boards, though I have been a fan of Sheila Rogers for many years after reading her book Natural Remedies for Tics and Tourette's. I have yet to post our full story and will do so soon (it's a long one!), but I have a quick question for anyone who can help. My daughter, 11 yrs old, has had tics on and off for years, but over the past year or so they have exacerbated, becoming more frequent and more extreme. I know for sure that she has some environmental triggers (colouring, fragrance, chlorine just to name a few). We have been avoiding all known triggers, but where avoidance used to work before, we now are at a standstill. I am in the midst of trying a gluten-free and casein free diet, but am not sure it is helping, and am not sure how long to keep going with it. With the understanding of the effects of pesticides on tics, does anyone have any knowledge on the effects of going on a purely organic diet? Successful? Not? Thank you so much in advance! Sandra
