Much like autism, Tourette syndrome is a condition with environmental causes in

addition to any underlying genetic predispositions. However, the conventional

medical community has not given attention to the role of diet, nutrition,

allergens, toxic chemicals, and vaccines in this disorder. Families are

typically told that there is nothing they can do to improve or prevent symptoms

beyond reducing stress and using medications.

 

It is critical to discover the actual cause of a person's symptoms, not just

chalk them up to genetics or accept that they can only be treated with drugs.

Medications for Tourette syndrome and tics are notorious for their serious

side-effects, and they not always successful.

 

The Association for Comprehensive NeuroTherapy (ACN) has partnered with The

Great Plains Laboratory, Inc. to present a premier conference on natural and

biomedical approaches for Tourette syndrome and tics. In addition, information

on dealing with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression will also be

shared: May 23-24 in Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas. www.touretteconference.com

 

Designed for professionals, families, and patients, attendees will learn how to

identify environmental triggers for tics, OCD, and depression, and which

laboratory tests may be most useful to discover biomedical causes. A number of

non-drug approaches will be shared along with a summary of relevant research.

 

ACN has taken the lead in emphasizing the importance of identifying

environmental and immune issues in Tourette syndrome. Click
