LuluGirl Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi, I'm new here and have an 11 year old son who, in my opinion, has TS but it has hasn't been diagnosed since he's only had tics since March. I noticed a response from Chemar that to decrease tics you need to combine calcium, zinc & tourine. We do supplement with a multi, cal-mag. zinc, b-complex, c and fish oil. What is the appropriate level of cal, zinc and tourine that a 100 lb. boy would need? I am truly enjoying this website! LuluGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi again LuluGirl and a big welcome to Latitudes! sorry for the delay in replying to you, but I have been offline without power after the hurricane. Age 12and >100lb can usually take adult doseage supps, with the dose being halved for younger/lighter children. The usual daily dose that I have seen mostly for TS is 1000mg cal/500mg mag/ 50mg zinc and with 500mg taurine added. However, this does vary between individuals and there specific deficiencies and needs. That is why I always recommend working with a naturopath or other doctor or therapist who is qualified and knowledgable in natural treatments. I also replied to the other thread you posted on this topic. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
