“Dear Bonnie,
I don’t know how to thank you enough for doing the research and putting together the vitamin plan for kids with TS. I started my beautiful little girl on them with the bedtime supplements as we received them during the afternoon. We noticed a difference the very next day. The loud vocal tic (like a hiccup) is completely gone as are almost all the others. This is only day three on the supplements. I really wanted to reserve my opinion of their effectiveness for a week or so but I am not able to as her improvement has been so fast and so complete.
This is the first time I have been able to look at my daughter in a year without worrying about how people would treat her, and how we would cope. I know you know how heartbreaking this illness is, to see a beautiful child – so smart and full of potential. To think that these characteristics could get buried by TS.
I can not put into words how thankful we are. I will try to tell everybody I can get to listen who sees people with TS about your site and these supplements.
Thank you and God Bless.” -CJ

“Thank you Bonnie,
I am trying your recommended supplements on my son right now. I can see the no-flush niacin works immediately on the tics. I gave the supplement list to his Ped. Neurologist, who said many of his patients had tried it, and that many have wonderful results. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your hard work.
Oh! And one more thing, now that weeks have gone by, my son no longer craves milk and best of is CALM and in his right mind. The OCD has tremendously decreased, and I think we have narrowly missed the beginnings of mental illness. Interesting, many friends and even the doctor have approached me to say what a change hey have seen in my son these last few weeks, and what ever it is that I’m doing its working! HURRAY!” -J

”Bonnie, I want to thank you. My son has shown significant progress on the vitamin program. His verbal tics have significantly diminished. They haven’t totally gone away, but it’s like day and night compared to where he was. I can’t believe how successful your program is. I am still giving him the vitamins everyday and hopefully with this regimen he will never have to go on medication.” -RB

“Thank you Bonnie for offering to undertake this project. I wanted to let you know we support your idea 100%. Thanks for taking the time to post your supplement information on the web, it is because of that that my son can function in school at all.” -JP

“Bonnie,
My nephew has a severe case of Tourettes. He has been taking your vitamin regimen for about four months. He does not take any other medication. He says that the vitamins have helped him a great deal.” -BC

“I have had my 7 year old daughter on your program for 1 ½ years now. I was unable to give the lecithin due to a diagnosed allergy to soy. Last January I decided to add lecithin capsules just to see what would happen, at the same time I decided to also give 500 mg more of no flush niacin. Her pediatrician agreed to regularly give her a blood test to make sure the excess niacin was not harmful. Within 2 days the frequency of her tics had greatly decreased, within one month she was barely ticcing, except at birthday parties and other stressful times. Thank you for your help.” -MW

“Bonnie, I wanted to thank you for the information you publish on your hypothesis and corresponding therapy for TS and related disorders. It has been a great source of relief for our family.
Last year our 6 year old daughter developed a number of vocal and motor tics and OCD. We were greatly worried by her behavior. After a visit to a pediatric neurologist we were even more confused. He didn’t diagnose her condition, but prescribed Clonidine if the tics got worse. Well the tics did get worse and we decided not to give her the medication after reading about all the possible side effects. Instead, I went out on the web and stumbled across your web pages.
I immediately went out and purchased all the vitamins on your list. Within 4 days, she was 90% better. Within 4 months she is 99% better. Every once in a while she still emits little sounds and has slightly anxious episodes. But we can definitely live with that.” -KP

“In February 1998, my daughter had her third bout of strep back to back. She had strep before, but never three in a row. Immediately following the third round of antibiotics, shedeveloped her first facial tic, at age 8. I took her to three neurologists, diagnosing tics or transient tics, and they suggested medication only. We chose no meds. Her large tonsils were taken out that December of 98. She had strep again in March 1999. As my research became more intensive and her tics changed and became more apparent, I found a website with your information, contacted and received vitamin, but my daughter would not swallow, chew, any of them. And I tried everything! I finally found a chewable vitamin with most of what you found to help the tics, and after almost a year, she is 98% tic free. It is truly a miracle, and I have you to thank for her success. I had tried behavioral modification, but that resulted in short term changes that only followed another tic. Nobody today would know that she ever had tics. What you came up with is a combination of determination, intelligence, and the love for your child.” -MW

“My son (15 yo) has been on your vitamins for over 2 years now. He has motor tics and a couple of very minor vocal tics. The tics have reduced to a very manageable level. Thank you for all your input on TS. It has been a great help.” -RD

“Hello Bonnie – I’m writing to you to say thanks, for the suggestion on vitamin supplements. Although we have not been as strict with it as we should, I have noticed a difference in my son’s ticcing. Thank you very much for your insight and help.” –S &T

“Dear Bonnie,
I first would like to thank you for sharing all your information with the vitamins. I have found it both interesting and beneficial. My husband has TS eye blinking and throat clearing mostly. He has been on your therapy for several months. He has seen a decrease of around 50%.
I also wanted to let you know about my son. He is 10 years old and has had mild TS symptoms since he was 7. They started getting worse so I put him on your regimen. We saw a dramatic decrease after 3 days. The interesting thing is his ears. He was starting to get hot ears more and more. After being on the vitamins he has not had one. I find that very interesting. Thank you again.” -JF

“Dear Bonnie:
I am so grateful to you for your research. My 5-year-old daughter has done great on your program for about five months. Again, I am so grateful to you. I don’t know where I would turn to for hope without you or Latitudes.” -C

“Hi Bonnie,
I just wanted you to know that I wonder each and every day how different my daughter would be right now if it weren’t for you. She was diagnosed last March with TS and instead of putting her on any medication I started doing research on the net. Within two weeks of her diagnosis, I had her on your supplement program and 2 days later she had dropped 2 of her tics. She is to this day considered a very mild case and I credit your program. I also believe that stress plays a large part in her life with TS. During the summer we went off the diet for the most part, but kept up the vitamins and she only had one tic all summer long. I’m just very thankful that you put in all the hard work and research that you did.” -LJ

“Bonnie, I’d like to inform you that someone that I referred to Bonnie’s Program will be on the Maury Povich Show tomorrow morning, Oct. 1st. She had a very bad case of Tourettes and started Bonnie’s Program, and is now doing great. She did some acting and had a very difficult time due to Tourette’s.” RR

“Bonnie,
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I feel like I am so close to getting my child back to his old self. He has only been on your plan for 2 weeks and my husband and I are shocked at the improvements in every way. His rages are gone and he is the incredibly pleasant child that he was a year ago. He is ticcing less, happier, and he is thinking so much clearer. You are a genius.
Anyway, I just want to tell you that you have made such a positive impact on our lives. We have cut his tetrabenazine down twice in the past 2 weeks, and he is now at half the dose he was at prior to vitamins.” -CB

“Hello,
Thank you so much, for all the research you have done in coming up with the vitamin remedy. I have tried several different methods to help our son and ended up just disguised.
Well, you came to us like an answer to a prayer, the following week, my mother in law calls us with your great great discovery for children w/ADHD and would we try this. I said, Mom I am ready again for another try at anything, or him turning 13 yrs. is going to use up patience.
Well, needless to say after 2-3 days, our son was feeling good about himself, getting school work in on TIME, no detentions and grades of 90% to 100%. The better news was, HE WAS DOING IT. I know this has to feel good, and it was just a beautiful feeling to see our son HAPPY about something HE DID.
Again, Thank you for getting the word out, I have been sharing the news with other parents and abut my son’s success.
Take care always, sincerely, you were an answer to our prayers.” -KB

“Dear Bonnie,
My brother has been on the vitamin program for 6 weeks, and he says that for the first time in 45 years he doesn’t feel some kind of “electric” tension in his muscles and that his tics are down 80%.” –BM
BM’s brother reported his story in Latitudes magazine Spring 1999 Vol. 4, Issue 2:
“I am 51 years old, and I’ve had Tourette syndrome since I was 9 or 10. As a young child, I had severe body tics and I also flexed my jaw, ground my teeth and jerked my head. As I moved through my teen years, the head-jerking stopped and my other tics stabilized, although they still were quite noticeable.
Having Tourette syndrome, and not knowing what was wrong with me, seriously affected my social life. I was a loner as a teen; I was afraid to associate with other kids. My reaction to having TS may have been one of the main reasons I have never married. And it probably made me want to overachieve in other areas of my life.
I have a Ph.D. in mathematics, am a former semi-pro athlete and professional league referee – heavy physical exercise always gave me hours of tic-free time –and I am now a senior executive in the computer software industry.
Yet, tics continued to embarrass and inhibit me socially, even after I noticed their severity declining again when I reached my forties. I could not bring myself to talk about my condition with anyone, and those around me were left to wonder what was wrong.
At the urging of my sister, whose 9-year-old child with TS has responded well to vitamins, I began a supplement program (Bonnie’s) this year on my birthday, February 3, 1999. After just one day, I noticed a change in the way my body felt –the electric tension in my muscles that has been my constant companion since childhood began to subside. By the end of the first week, my tics began to lessen, and by the end of the first month I was virtually tic-free.
When I do have flare ups, they are further apart than before and each one is less severe than the last. Now, I have only very minor flare ups, and they occur only when I under extreme stress at work.
This change in my condition has made every difference in my life. For the first time I am telling people that I have Tourette syndrome. I have told co-workers, and I’ve told friends I’ve known for decades who have always wondered what was going on, but were afraid to ask. I’m more self-confident. I’m more comfortable doing public speaking at work and I’m doing more of it. I’m more successful in my relations with my colleagues, with my friends, and with women.
I know that I am not the only person with TS who is having success with supplements. Not all stories will be as dramatic as mine –and some people may have had no luck at all with this approach –but all the stories need to be told. This is the only way to convince the scientific community to begin researching this area.” -JM
