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

I have a grandson Anthony thats 14 and with the same problem I to found Dr Stack's videos and was amazed We tried the stick method first and it worked Our only problem was Dr Stack was to far for us to travel so I called and did some searching for myself for a Doctor around us After many phone calls I finally found one that was willing to try it.God works in small miracles.Anthony has had he's 3 rd visit and he has improved 90% This is no fast money deal.This is no scam this is real.Don't put down someones comment if you don't no the facts.I found this comment after I already made a post about Anthony the other day.Those who know about this procedure will only tell you that nothing but good has come from it.

Hi, i'm from Massachusetts. Does anyone know any other dentists/ doctors that do the TMJ appliance for Tourettes other than the ones mentioned? I'm looking for a doctor closer to me. Can someone tell me the costs they paid for the appliance?  Which doctor did you see?

I called Dr Stacks Office today and his office said it would cost between $4700 to $6300. The thing that has me worried is that it isn't guaranteed and its alot of money to throw away if it doesn't work. (especially as i don't have that cash available)  I have Tourettes since I was 7 and i'm almost 40. It definitely got worse as I got older.

Please help. Any info would be appreciated.
