The cover reminds me of new life - of bringing a child back from the depths of despair as their true self is restored after finally finding the cure to their symptoms. The book delivers that with a slew of practical ideas to help those who are battling the symptoms associated with neurological disorders such as Tics, Tourette's, obsessive compulsive disorder, autism, ADHD and mood swings.

Included are medical case histories of children suffering from a variety of symptoms, their trials and tribulations in finding a cure (i.e. medications and doctors' insistence that patients remain on drugs even though they have made patients excessively worse to the point of debilitation), and an easy-to-read reference that is full of alternative medicine ideas to help combat symptoms due to things like particular foods, additives, colorings, perfume, household cleaning products, dust mites and pollen, or genes.

In addition, the environmental, bio-chemical and physical connections in TS and tics are expressed without guaranteeing "cure" or remission. There is ample acknowledgement that traditional medicine may frown upon the suggestions made in the book and that further scientific research is needed and welcomed.
However, I found the author offered the reader a treasured emotion - hope.… (plus d'informations)
