Thank you so much for all your replies. Its great to find a network like this.

I have been researching non-stop for the last week and have decided to start with supplementing my son with magnesium. After reading on the correlation between low magnesium levels and tics i figured this would be the easiest starting point. 3 hrs after my son took his first dose his tics have lessened by about 70%. Of course this could just be a fluke but I am hopefull. I've read so many case studies on this being the culprit for SOME TS kids. I will see how it goes and if its not helpful I will then turn to the additives as he seems to have some stomach sensitivities to MSG and dairy. (Like me)

 

 

I am so appreciative that you all took time out of your day to help me out.

How much magnesium are you giving to your son? Don't forget to add calcium for better absorption. The ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1.

 

I have also started calcium & magnesium for my son last week after his chiropractic adjustment, as well as using a HEPA filter, and have been seeing a steady decline in motor & vocal tics.

i just started out with 200 calcium and 100 mag. I will increase in a week I guess.
