A thought about TS

[Andy]

From my understanding there has never been a DNA strand link found to TS. This may suggest that TS is not passed down but the tendency to develop it from outside variables does, (e.g. unknown lingering illness, metals from vaccination shots etc.) This might sound far fetch to some but think about the person who lives in a part of the world where they never drink or eat any milk products, except from b-feeding as a baby, and have no health problems then that person comes to the United States and has a cheese burger with a milkshake only to then find out that they are lactose intolerant. Perhaps TS is a result of exposure? And if TS is a result from exposure to a toxic(s) or virus/ bacteria to the body then is it more of a health impairment then a syndrome and therefore the cause needs to be treated as much as the effect. Which in turn would be another line of logic against medicating with medicines that were not even designed for what is called TS. Just a thought.

Hi Andy

 

The TSA is funding the research into the identification of the Tourette linked genome and there is in fact ongoing research and very credible evidence for the hereditary link in true TS

 

You can get more info about it from the TSA

http://www.tsa-usa.org

 

However, I FULLY agree with you on the external (and internal) variables that result in the gene being "switched on" to cause the exhibition of TS symptoms
