Fascinating Chemar, thanks!

 

Excerpt:

 

"Ferritin and serum iron were significantly lower in the Tourette’s syndrome subjects, although still within the normal range. No association was found between tic severity and either iron index."

 

So much for the adage people used to think about not supplementing iron...back to my repeated advice: Get tested.

 

For those that don't know, ferretin is stored iron and is measured in standard blood tests along with iron levels. This is something that even mainstream doctors will test!
