I have been faithfully reading your daily mails to find treatments for tremors and find them quite comforting Here’s my problem.
I won’t be seeing a neurologist until November 15th. My family doctor’s suspicion of Parkinson’s Disease is based on the fact that my hand tremors are ‘resting’ tremors.
Whenever I have the courage to check for more information online, I find information which makes me think it could possibly be caused by something else, i.e. genes (my dad had a bit of a tremor in his hand), low blood sugar (although I am not diabetic. The tremors seem to get better when I drink a pop, not diet.) … you get my meaning, I’m sure.
I also am very much aware of the fact that the tremors get a lot worse when I try to suppress them. If I sit on my hand, they seem to move into my shoulder. They also almost go away completely when I am totally relaxed (they come back at the slightest sign of stress).
I would like to do something to help myself while I wait for my appointment. I would like to be proactive rather than reactive. Is there something you can recommend? I know there are many good suggestions on your web page, but it’s information overload for me still.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

I feel the information overload too. There are so many natural treatments for tremors out there – which ones do you pursue? It gets really overwhelming. Let me offer a few suggestions you might want to talk with your doctor about.
First, enroll in my Tame Tremors online course. The course covers proven methods and therapies that calm tremors. Classes are rolled out every five days so you are not overwhelmed with endless options. Instead, you take your time to evaluate an approach. If you decide it is not the right approach for you, another proven methods is presented in five days.
Here are some basic habits that will help improve your overall health:
Stop eating dairy products.
Exercise every day. Exercise addresses the stress.
Use body therapies that release the stress like craniosacral therapy, Bowen therapy, Tin Tui Na, vibration therapy, etc. As you well know, when you can release the traumas that are trapped in your tissues, your symptoms will not flare when you are under stress in the moment.
Toxins are a big factor. I have no idea what you have tried – but zeolite is a great detox. There are several companies who offer zeolite detoxes. Detoxing with zeolite has the potential to offer significant relief. There are of course dozens of ways and methods to detox. Naturopaths are great resources when it comes down to a vibrant detox approach.
Finally – are you adequately hydrated? If your body is not getting enough water – symptoms will be worse. John Coleman recommends aquas (www.aquas.us). Whatever approach you use, be sure that your body is adequently hydrated every day.
I would not worry over a diagnosis. It is just a guess anyway. Your body has the power to heal itself when given the support and nourishment it needs to heal.
Give you body the support it needs to come back into balance and you will be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Most importantly, select a treatment for tremors and take action. Any action. It will give you the energy and motivation to pursue recovery with a passion.
