Multiple Sclerosis and Crohn's Disease facial tics

[Guest guest]

Magnets have helped other people with that condition. Sounds like

Tourette's.

Dear Sharon, yes, I agree. It's a palsy of some kind. What kind of magnets? You mean something like a chain necklace perhaps?

I think you gave me a link once, for bruxism, grinding of teeth. Would like to look into that, too

If you have any information, I would be grateful

Yes, I would use a magnetic necklace and insoles which affect the

whole body. They need to be a good brand, not the walmart or

drugstore or fleamarket kind. I use the Nikken products which are

well researched and patented. Perhaps a headband would be even

better but it won't be a fashion statement! I find the headband

affects just about everything that starts in the head.

 

Do you still have the teeth-grinding info? If not I can search

through my sent emails and see if I can find it.

Dear Sharon, I will check back and see if my computer stored the link. I should have acted upon it sooner!

I will let my sister know about the magnets, because she hates to put her son on medication unnecessarily

Thank you for your help

in his redeeming Love for us
