> Has anyone tried Bonnie's Vitamin regimen for Tourettes? Does anyone know how much Ca and Mg to give a child that is three? Do they come in liquid form? Any other tic treatment alternatives. Someone suggested Flax seed oil and a digestive enzyme...???
Bonnie Grimaldi's regime has a body weight proportioning schedule. She's changed things a bit, I think, or made more clear how the dosing is to be done. She used to recommend a toxic level of zinc? (I think it was zinc, I forget.)

The vitamins would be best if combined with fish oil (not flax oil), IMHO. The problem is that getting a small child to swallow a lot of pills is a pain. I don't know how big Grimaldi's supps are, physically. I don't see a liquid formulation on her site.
Fish oil is available in a palatable bulk liquid form. Eskimo brand is one example. Available from iherb.
Digestive enzymes are in the realm of "can't hurt, and might help".
More questions welcomed.
