Question
My daughter was born with a rare metobolic disorder - Aceto Acetyl CoA thialese deficiency - she cannot digest protein. She is obviously on a low protein diet and takes a medication to help neutralize the acid her system makes.  However, the acid has done serious damage to her nervous system and she is prone to seizures.  She recently developed "tic disorder" to such a degree that such simple things as eating and drinking have become nearly impossible. Can you recommend anything that might help alleviate some of the tics?
Thank you

Hello Stacey,

First I would work on the digestion. I would use Safflowers and or papaya mint with meals to break down the proteins along with Proactazyme plus to break down all the food being eaten. Then I would drink aloe vera juice between meals to heal what has been destroyed from the acid.  

Then I would consider Mangesium, B complex, Cellular Energy and Wood Bentony for the tic issue. This can also be due to low potassium and or calicum as well so I would suggest having blood work done to check all the minerals above.

You can order these herbals at www.yourherbalhealthsolutions.com.  I also offer phone consults as well.
