Tourette's is one of the few disorders that seems to be curable, for some, through mass administration of heavy doses of antibiotics, even some of those condemned by the anti-thimersol crowd.

There are cases ~

Most Tourette's, though, is not curable.

I do wish they'd simply learn some new words though.

You do know that there is no drug to cure Autism. There is only drugs to counteract the symptoms. I listed three of the main ones including Prozac that recently had the age of prescribe lowered to 7 years of age.

“Tourette’s is one of the few disorders that seems to be curable, for some, through mass administration of heavy doses of antibiotics,”

interesting - I didn’t know that.

“I do wish they’d simply learn some new words though.”

Don’t you think that’s the point?
It’s almost like a compulsiveness that compelled him to speak the most vile words in the most inappropriate place (church).

He could carry on a normal conversation - but when he was trying to sit quietly and listen...the “words” would start with him trying to fake a cough to cover it up.
