Tourette's Cure - Worked for Me

Dear friends,

I have Tourette's syndrome, or at least 'had' it until about a year ago. While my symptoms were quite severe, I now, with proper care, am completely symptom free.
I have been using an oral appliance that has eradicated my symptoms, the appliance being based off the work of Dr. Anthony Sims    http://www.absimsdds.com/
My orthodontic specialist spoke to Dr. Sims, and made a similar appliance for me, and my tics stopped.

I can't believe this, and didn't believe the videos on Dr. Sims website when I saw them, but PLEASE check it out before you judge this.

To give you an idea of the extent of my Tourette Syndrome experience, I viewed a video of myself recent, where I would tic on average 6-8 times in 2 minutes.
Which, in a 16 hour day would be 2,880 tics, a not-so-insignificant number.
Furthermore, my tic (main one) was a serious jaw-wrench, which led to severe headaches, intense lacerations inside my mouth (had to have teeth taken out to stop the deep lacerations), and a loud cracking in my TMJ.

Since settling in with this appliance, I might have 1 in a whole day, and often never, and all the internal "neurological storms'' that can come with tourette syndrome are now gone.

Here is a paper on the treatment:

reply with any questions.
This has been a dream come true for me.

with love, and empathy,
Rob

Hey Rob-
You mentioned Dr. Sims is located in California. Did he move from Cali to Maryland? The Dr. Sims I've seen online helping with Tourette's and other movement disorders is in MD. I've got an appointment in a couple weeks with Sims and am naturally hesitant. He quoted me 4404.00 out of pocket. My problem is oral dystonia caused by a wisdom tooth pull. I tried Dr. Sims/Stack tongue depressor method and was shocked that it worked for a moment. The facial muscles relaxed, the tongue returned to normal and I could speak. I get the same results with Ambien (which no one has yet to explain). Anyone else know of Dystonia patients who've seen Sims or Stack?
Thanks
Tom

My daghter has had sezuires for 11yrs and is now 31yrs old. My friend who is a Dentist, Ortho and TMD/TMJ specialist is now treating her with the appliance you re talking about. The first day she wore the appliance we noticed a huge difference in her motor skills, speech, etc. If anyone in Oregon is dealing with sezuires and they tell you nothing is wrong with you...PLEASE!!!!! look into this treatment. We are seeing Dr william Lee willis in Roseburg Or. He is giving my daughter her life back!
