Scalp Acupuncture as well as points on the Du meridian are the best.

I would consider a heart envelope and conception adjustment. Stimulate /tonify

+perhaps a gall bladder moxa ? Back? (governor meridian in head?)

Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome

 

This is a condition characterised by multiple tics. Tics are involuntary

twitch-like movements involving groups of muscles. In this syndrome, tics

characteristically involve the facial area (e.g. blinking, grimacing,

nodding) as well as phonic (vocal) tics, although any area can be involved.

The tics range from very simple to more complex, purposeful movements. Vocal

tics can be as simple as throat clearing or coughing. Tics can be suppressed

for a short time and so, for example, the condition may appear different at

school compared to home. The onset of the symptoms is usually between the

ages of 5-11 with a maximum starting age of 21. There is a very wide range

of severity so that many people with the condition may never need to seek

medical attention whilst others have a socially disabling condition.

 

Common associations of the syndrome are Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or

Behaviour (OCD/OCB) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (see

separate entry.) In some cases echolalia (the repetition of phrases, or

mimicking of gestures) may be present. A relatively rare feature in more

severe cases is coprolalia (the involuntary use of obscene or offensive

words) or copropraxia (the involuntary making of obscene gestures.)

 

Symptoms may occur and disappear, increase or decrease in severity, or new

symptoms may arise. In some cases remissions occur. It is thought that

Tourette Syndrome often decreases in severity around or after adolescence

although it can be a lifelong condition. The incidence of the syndrome is

three to four times greater in males than females.

 

Inheritance patterns

It is thought that in about 90% of cases the condition runs in the family,

although other family members may have a mild, barely noticeable disorder.

The wide range of features has made it difficult to definitively define the

genetic inheritance although the autosomal dominant with incomplete

penetrance model has been used. That is, each pregnancy has a 1 in 2 chance

of an affected gene with many such cases not manifesting the condition.

 

Environmental factors also play a part with possible interactions with a

perinatal insult - for example, a birth trauma such as anoxia (lack of

oxygen). This area is being further investigated.

 

Mild cases may not need to be treated. There is no cure but many of the

symptoms such as OCD and ADHD can be helped with medication.

 

Pre-natal diagnosis

None. Genetic linkage studies are under way and there have been some

preliminary results, which may apply to only a proportion of cases/families.

There currently is no way of predicting whether a child will be affected

and, if so, how severely.

Take a look if there's a condition of Liver Xue Xu or any condition of heat

(xu ou shi) disturbing Heart associated.

I got a pacient with this, and our resoults were good.

In fact, he did not come to treat tourette because he didn't kown tcm could

help, but we could see how it get better with tcm. In this case, the main

syndrome was Liver Xue Xu, and some kind of Tan blocking middle Jiao.

First we trear Tan to help yang qi goes up and yin qi goes down correctly,

then Liver xue.

Atma Marilette, Namaste,

 

A 45 year-old unmarried male client is presenting

Tourette Syndrome,along with symptoms of various

Attention Deficit Disorders, anger,depression, low

self esteem, minor aches and pains, medium to heavy

sweating.

 

The client expresses verbally that the body tics

(Tourette Syndrome) are experienced as a surge of

energy from within the body, an area which was

indicated by the client to be near the Solar Plexus.

According to the client the onset is almost like a

sneeze, but with far less time to react.

 

The client has been through several self-help and

psychological studies and programs, some conducted at

Yale University. The self-help programs have helped

(in the client's words) " to short-circuit the body tic

impulses " by focusing attention away from the body

part or area that wants to respond to the tic impulse.

 

The client appears to be fairly well in control and

high functioning, is able to drive, and has published

a book. The will to overcome the disorders appears

strong. Interviews are conducted with ease, and only

the slightest moment of the Tourette Syndrome has been

observed.

 

Various prescription drugs have been used in the past

with limited or no success. The drug, Ritalin (Long

Acting), provided the best relief from the Attention

Deficit Disorders, but caused periods of short-temper.

The client is not taking any drugs now, and is

reluctant to try any more.

 

To date Psychological Pranic Healing treatments have

been performed four times (twice weekly) for anxiety

and depression. The client expresses that " the body

tic symptoms are represented almost continually by a

feeling of internal pressure. " After the treatments

the client expresses that the feeling of internal

pressure is near zero. Immediate results have been

good, but the duration of relief may only last for 24

hours or so.

 

The sweating seems to have decreased, and minor aches

and pains are near zero on a scale from 1 to 10. After

experiencing some relief without drugs, the client is

willing to continue treatment.

 

One question is would Superbrain Exercise be advised

in this situation? The other question is what other

treatments might be recommended to help the client?

 

With many thanks, blessings, and deepest respect,

gratitude and love for MCKS.

Dear Larry,

 

Atma namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Please continue with the treatments you have started

with the following modifications:

 

1. Scanning

- Use the divide the chakra into 6 parts technique.

- Scan each of the major chakras one section at a time

for negative elementals and negative thoughtforms.

Bulges or uneveness in affected sections must be swept

until the energy is smooth and all the sections of a chakra

are clean, balanced and stable. Thorough cleansing is

important before energizing.

 

2. Do the same for different sections of the brain

and spine.

 

3. Teach the patient proper Pranic Breathing(PB).

Ask the patient to do 12 cycles of Pranic Breathing

before start of treatment, then continue PB during

entire treatment.

 

4. After the healing treatment, rescan all treated chakras, the brain and the

spine. Reapply treatment where required.

 

5. Teach the patient

Superbrain Yoga. Ask him to do 21 cycles. Observe

and scan during exercise to check if energy surges or

becomes imbalanced during exercise. Apply sweeping

immediately on any imbalance noted until completely relieved.

This exercise facilitates proper energy distribution and refines the energy

quality.

 

 

6. Play the Meditation on Twin Hearts and ask the

patient to follow the guided meditation. This healing meditation

is anti-depression and facilitates healing further.

 

Steps 3, 5 and 6 may be done by the patient once daily.

 

Please keep us informed of the patient's healing

progress.

 

Love,

 

Marilette
