In 1885, the French physician George Gilles de la Tourette reported eight similar cases and further described the symptoms and nature of the disease, but the incidence has been rare. Tic disorders were rarely seen in clinical practice 30 years ago, but were only gradually discovered in the early 1980s and have become more frequent in the past few years. The information about tic disorders in books is very brief, so the medical community (including Western and Chinese medicine), from the early 1980s to the present, has a half-understanding of tic disorders, and often misdiagnoses the early blinking and grunting as conjunctivitis and pharyngitis. This is because some doctors do not treat tics in one case. This is because some doctors have not cured a single case of Tourette’s syndrome, so they think it cannot be cured at all. The second understanding is that there is no need for treatment and that the child will be cured when he or she grows up and reaches puberty. This is a conjecture that has no theoretical or clinical basis. According to my clinical data, if parents know the cause of their child’s tic disorder within one month of onset, and can immediately remove the cause, and then take proper care of the child, the child can indeed be cured without treatment. If the cause is not clear or cannot be removed, the child will definitely not heal on his own. This means that “self-healing” requires certain conditions, but when the onset of the disease is more than 2 months old and the cause of the disease is not clear, it will not heal itself at all. Even if the cause of the disease is removed, because the body function has been dysfunctional, it is difficult to heal itself without medication. The third realization is that the child learns bad habits. Strict requirements will be good, still bad, then hit, hit on the good. This understanding is more a sign of ignorance on the part of medical practitioners and parents. First of all, it is important to affirm that tics are not learned by the child, but mainly related to long-term psychological repression (or excitement, such as playing computer games and watching TV for a long time). As long as the mood does not calm down, it is difficult to cure, and the more you beat (scold), even it is impossible to cure. The fourth understanding is that the use of Western medicine haloperidol, Antan or treatment with thiopirid for 3 years, it can be cured, this claim lacks basis. These drugs are only neuropsychotropic and can only temporarily reduce the symptoms of tic disorder. This reduction (or disappearance of symptoms) is only the strong stabilizing effect of these drugs to suppress the symptoms, the root cause of the disease is not removed, when the drug is reduced or discontinued, the symptoms will be exposed, no matter how many years to take, it is difficult to really cure the tic disorder, generally with the course of treatment, the amount of drugs to gradually increase. The side effects of this type of medicine will also gradually appear, easy to damage the liver, but also the child more and more fat, or make the child depressed, so that the brain’s thinking response is slow, affecting the child’s learning. The fifth perception is that TCM can’t cure tics. If you are a Chinese medicine doctor, if you do not have a deep understanding of tic disorder, and you are not clear about the cause and mechanism of the disease, you will not be able to cure it even if you use Chinese medicine. The majority of doctors in Western medicine do not have a deep understanding of the theory of Chinese medicine, or do not understand it at all, so they often say that Chinese medicine cannot cure it either. It is safe to say that TCM can cure Tourette’s syndrome. The Chinese medicine treatment is not by pressure or confrontation, but by “adjustment”. No matter what the disease is, it is the result of the dysfunction of some aspect of the body. After the observation in recent years, we believe that as long as we insist on taking Chinese medicine, and can modify the prescription in time, and at the same time take proper care, we can generally be cured. Chinese medicine has few side effects, and the side effects of individual drugs will be removed through the reasonable combination of drugs, so it is often said that Chinese medicine has no toxic side effects. Not only does it not damage the liver, but it also does not make you fat. Not only does it not affect the brain’s thinking, but because the medicine itself has a brain-boosting and educational effect, the child’s learning will grow as the time of taking the medicine increases, and the originally smart child will become even smarter. Therefore, as long as the prescription is right, through a reasonable combination, no matter how long the medicine is taken, Chinese medicine will not produce toxic side effects. The sixth understanding is that Chinese and Western medicines must be used together to cure. This is, in fact, a sign that doctors do not have confidence in curing tic disorders. If you are not cured by Chinese medicine alone, and if you are not cured by Western medicine alone, then why not use both Chinese medicine and Western medicine? From clinical experience, it is best not to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicines.
