I don't have tourettes myself but I do get verbal tics. I was on a medication for mental health issues called zyprexa. its made by satan dont take it lol. joking but eli lily has more than a few shady things in their past and with people they are connected to. anyhow i have a bunch of issues from it and one of those that started happening as i weaned off of it was verbal tics.

At first, i thought it was something that zyprexa did to me. I more or less have brain damage now or at least thats how i feel. ive been sick for going on three years from it. I am "ok" now but thats kind of a relative term. I still have a lot of nerve pain and other issues I wont get into. Many of the issues have subsided or are manageable but there were a bunch of them. but i still have tics and they are actually getting worse.

zyprexa is used to manage TS off label. i didn't think much of it, as eli lily pushes it on everyone for everything and actually got sued big time for that. now im beginning to think that it may have been covering up my mercury toxicity as i have five "silver" fillings in my mouth. I actually think most of my mental health problems began shortly after getting my first fillings in or a few years after. Ive had some of them in for twenty years now.

Recently i started a metal cleanse and plan on getting them out as i can afford it. Im not using chelation but a product called IMD intestinal cleanse by quicksilver scientific. I am taking other supplements with it too that are typical of cleansing metals with intestinal binders and general detoxification. its a much safer route than with chelators and little risk is involved if you go really slowly but you don't want to overload your system. cleansing mercury is fairly straightforward and not super complicated at least compared to correcting damage traditional chelators can cause. you want to make sure detox pathways are clear esp the colon. probiotics are key here. kefir, yougurt, etc.

my tics have actually gotten worse but i think thats because i mobilized the mercury before using a binder so im easing off for a bit and slowing down. i prob have a pretty big problem. either way, there seems to be someting happening with the tics as i move the metals around so i cant help but feel there is a link there. im only about a week in with the IMD but have been taking other things for a month or so. so ill let you know how things improve if anyone is interested.

anyhow, i know genetics might be a factor for some of you, but i wouldnt rule out environmental factors entirely. I hate pharaceuticals now so i wouldn't put it past the pharma shills to say something is genetic thats environmental to hook you on the drugs for life but i wont get too conspiracy-y here for now. many vaccines contain (or used to contain) mercury and also aluminum (or salts of). amalgams are another primary source. HFCS also can contain mercury. but there are many sources

so i understand being wary of chelators but IMD is different. it is a thiol functionalized silica. metal sweep is another product thats pretty similar. People are getting results with it and you can go as fast or slow as you want and it doesnt enter the blood stream. Dr Chris shade has some vidoes around that are really informative.

just something to consider. i can list the supplements also that i take to aid with the cleansing if anyone is interested. it was kind of pricey for me to put everything together (as in a few hundred bucks) but ive been pretty sick for a while now. not super sick now, but ready to feel good for a change.

hope this helps.
