Hi, We live in Canada now, and my son also suffered/ing from Tourette. He is 18 now. We tried different things, unsuccessfully. I would be happy if I could get an opportunity to contact any support group who might help me with alternative solutions, like changes in nutrition etc.
7. All of the congratulations...
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.21.13)
directed towards R. are deserved and to be applauded. What also needs to be said is Congratulations to his parents that didn't give up or accept the situation! Life for them could not have been easy during R.'s childhood, yet they remained steadfast, believed in him and continued to search for a solution. CONGRATULATIONS to both R. AND his parents.
8. You would have to be insane to fly
Blumfeld ,   Little Rock, Ala.   (06.21.13)
with someone that had Tourette's disease. You never know when it will suddenly appear, like in the middle of a critical mission when your comrades are most dependent on you. He should be discharged and and kept under observation for medical scientific study. He could then be a great service to the nation.

He isn't a Guinea Pig and he already is on his way to doing a great service to the nation.
10. Can someone find out the diet he was on?
Camelia Serghie ,   New York, USA   (06.21.13)
It says the Youth was on a diet that cured him from Tourrettes, can we know what kind of diet this was? There are other people with Tourrettes and maybe it'll help them also. Thanks.
11. There is no cure for Tourette's
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.22.13)
Just like there is no cure for autism, or cerebral palsy. But there are high-functioning autists, and low-functioning autists; people with mild cerebral palsy and people with severe cerebral palsy. No one with Tourette's should ever get in a cockpit. Sorry.
