You didn't say how the Tourettes was manifesting... visible tics or

speech for example... but I think it would safe to say that Wind

usually is the major component. (although I'm not sure I would " hammer

at the root " ;-) ) Sorry, anyway... what I've found useful for

tic-ing is to needle down the Hua Tou Jia Jie Points. I don't use all

the needles at the same time but use 3 or 4 at the top, take them out,

do the next ones down and continue through until the lumbar. This also

works well for Restless Leg however with more concentration on the

lower. Tourettes you would concentrate on the Cervical and Thoracic.

hope this helps,

doug
