Welcome to my website. If you or any of your loved one is suffering from Tourette's syndrome, you need to know that there are millions of people around the world suffering from this disorder. I know first hand because I have lived with this often misunderstood disorder for over twenty five years. At the age of six I started to have facial and body tics. As I got older it worsened. The problems I had included excessive blinking, eye rolling, throat clearing, nail biting, touching objects etc. During my late teens while I was at college, things started getting really tough.
I went to see my doctor a few times about my tics. The first couple of times the doctor simply said that it was nothing to worry about and that it would soon pass. Well it didn't. Eventually he got me to see a couple of specialists in this field. Although these therapists tried, they couldn't cure my problems. I also tried alternative therapies such as acupuncture and homeopathy, but unfortunately none of them helped.
That's when I started spending hours almost everyday trying to find a cure to my problems, and then eventually after around ten years of research I managed to easily cure my mind numbing disorder without any type of medicine or side effects.
Over the years I noticed that some medical specialists in this field labelled the problems I had as Tourette's syndrome while a few called it OCD, which is short for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Now what is Tourette 's syndrome and what is OCD? Before I explain these two disorders, I would like to say that medical professionals seem to love giving labels to problems people have and at times while doing that, they complicate things. All I know with my simple mind is that, I lived with these problems for over twenty five years and none of them could cure my problems. A brief explanation of the terms Tourette's syndrome and OCD, as understood by medical professionals is given below.
Tourette's syndrome: Tourette's syndrome is classified as an anxiety disorder characterized by tics — involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. The more common tics are eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, facial movements.
Individuals with this disorder feel the urge to carry out specific actions such as blinking, coughing etc to release a build up of tension. The actions they carry out worsen when they are in stress and also when they are aware of their problem and forcefully try to put a stop to it.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: In OCD, sufferers experience repetitive, intrusive and unwelcome impulses and doubts which they find hard to ignore. Obsessions are the impulses people have and reoccur over and over again. Feeling excessively worried about the hands being dirty for example are obsessive feelings. In order to make the obsessive feelings go away the compulsions are performed. Excessively washing the hands are compulsions. The more an individual tries to stop carrying out the rituals the harder he or she would find it to stop and it worsens when the individual is under stress. Some common OCD's are touching, excessive double-checking, nail biting, hand washing, cleaning, ordering/arranging.
It can be seen that whether the sufferer's disorder is classified as OCD or Tourette's syndrome, they have one thing in common. The sufferer feels a strong urge to repeatedly carry out a specific action in order to release a build up of tension.
How do these feelings originate?
In a game of football (soccer) your team has been awarded a penalty kick and you have been chosen to be the penalty kick taker. At that moment it wouldn't be unusual to have a thought like “I am going to miss the goal”. Usually when you start thinking that way the wish comes true. This is a fairly common problem not just with football; it's the same with any sport whether it's baseball or rugby.
In any situation that provokes anxiety people tend to have recurring thoughts. At times these thoughts can become so strong that it starts to effect simple tasks which then further increase the anxiety level. If these recurring thoughts continue for a length of time it could become a vicious cycle that a person finds difficult to break. Tourette's fall in this category.
The key to stopping this disorder is to use a unique and effective technique to eliminate the vicious cycle of Tourette's.
Various types of relaxation methods can help to calm the nerves but does NOT cure anxiety disorders. The quick and effective technique that I am offering goes right down to the root cause of the problem and simply turns it off. You can even use this technique while walking. Whether your disorder is labelled as Tourette's or OCD, this technique will put a stop to it.
In the E-book "The Root Cause" this technique is explained step-by-step from an ex-sufferers point of view. A person suffering from this disorder for a long period could also develop Panic attacks, Fear of rejection, Fear of failure and Social fear. In this E-book, one simple cure for all these anxiety disorders is explained.
