Essential Head Tremor since I was 9, now it is affecting my work , help?

I have been suffering from ET mainly in head since I was 9. I noticed even back then that i shoke badly all over when in a very stressful situation like when doing a public speech. Now I am 41 and my ET is mainly noticeble in my head specially when giving important presentations in public or to media . I try to control it by Inderal and tranquilizers but I was wondering if there is success with homeopathy. This is familial my dad had it in his hands mainly and my grandmother was like me with ET in head but shoke allover when stressed just like me. BTW, My head shakes even when i am not stressed now, it is a light no-no movement sideways i try to avoid caffiene and being exhausted cause this worsens my case. At work now I am avoiding stressful situations that involves being exposed to public yet I Am afraid that very soon it will be too obvious even when I am not stressed.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I have had some success in treating a 5 year old case of Parkinson's which was being treated with the standard L Dopa drugs which the patient discovered was requiring an increased dosage.

He consulted me and I used my therapy which has also been called 'Joepathy' by the classical homeopaths and the results was very positive with less tremor and a marked improvement in walking which prior to my therapy was in the nature of a shuffle.

The remedy I gave him was Gelsemium 200c in the Wet dose and you can use it in the manner described below and report your own response.

I would also request you to also use Arnica 30c also in the Wet dose.

You can take both remedies twice daily leaving about half hour between remedies which are best taken before meals with the second dose of Arnica taken just before bed.


The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

Please follow the instructions below based on your answers:

Stop drinking Coffee as it has proved to aggravate your Tremor.
Suggest you change over to tea.

Do not drink any canned beverages like coke or equivalent.
No preserved meats containing Saltpeter like sausages, ham and bacon.

Stop taking Meridia for weight control.
If weight is a problem you may use Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets twice daily after meals.
It works by accelerating the passage of food down the gut thereby reducing its absorption and achieving a reduction of weight by 1kg per week.

The stress you experience will be helped by Gelsemium. Report on this factor in a week.
Gels should also help your tremors

You must exercise for at least 45 minutes daily. Walking is the best method.
Neck exercise by moving head from side to side for 5 minutes is recommended.
Also press down with both hands on the back of your neck and resist the pressure with your neck muscles to strengthen them. You will experience an unusual sense of lightness in the head immediately after and this is a good exercise to help with your Tremors.

How loose are your bowels? Are they watery? How often do you have a BM?

'Allergy from mosquitos, skin eczema, Urinary tract infections, gas, colon problems related to stress or drinking carbonated water'

Which of the above affect you today?

Have you done a complete Blood test for Lipid Profiles?
Do one to check Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Blood sugar and other factors.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thank you so much. I will follow each and every advice . They sound quite logical. I did blood suger and cholestrol level they were ok. Cholestrol a bit high but in the safe zone. I don't know what you mean by lipids lab test but i will check the results of my lab tests , i do a check up every year since I have hit 35. My stool is neighther watery nor hard it is normal , I go normally once a day in the morning and sometimes twice. I rarely have carbonated water. and I have cut down coffee already to one cup a day. I will try the neck exercises you proposed My GP also adviced I should do them together with shoulder exercises as I went to him following severe neck pain and he found out from my x ray that i have a natural defect in my ribs below my necks as the right side is missing one of them as opposed to the left side , i will look into the x-ray and tell you the exact diagnosis. I can't thank you enough , god bless you sir.

My lipid profile is as follows but this is 10 months ago:
Cholestrol 210
HDL 47
LDL 149
Triglycerides 89
Risk Factor : 4.5

Regarding my cervical spine xray it states :
Bilateral bony cervical rips more evident at the left side.

Regarding the conditions of my health currently : well since i am on a no carbs diet , my colon is quite ok cause i eat a lot of fiber and no rice, bread or pasta, cake , cookies etc .. my colon is quite comfortable with this diet. Regarding canned food can I eat Tuna (canned)? .

Also my eczima is at bay now however I have sinus and my skin had dark pigmentation that iccured during pregnancy and never faded even though it was some six years ago. So right now my health is quite ok , I just have sinus and ET

thanks for your attention and your prompt responses , it is much appreciated.

My advice is that you quit coffee completely as it antidotes Homeopathic remedies and also as it has proved to aggravate your Tremors.
It is a small price to pay to overcome them.

You can take Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30c jn the Wet dose thrice daily whenever you feel Cattarish with sneezing and coryza

Check the Tuna can for Nitrites and/or Saltpeter as this chemical antidotes remedies instantly.
I cannot believe how you can exist on a Carb free diet. You mentioned some sensitivity to:
'bread or pasta, cake , cookies etc .'
This is very unusual and I would suggest that you start with rice and pasta as it is very likely that your problem may be the Yeast in bread, cakes etc.

Remember that exercise is essential for your cure.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
I will try to quit coffee altogether but the problem is i get headaches and my blood pressure goes down. I will try to switch to tea and see what happens. The no carbs diet is the only thing that makes me lose weight and I am generaly much better on it. I am not sensitive to carbs , it is just that eating carbs makes me hungry quicker and to curb my appetite I stop eating them or reduce eating them to very little amounts , i sometimes have two slices of brown bread , today I did for example , this deosnt hurt me + I have sweet potatoes and bananas and both are considered carbs in my dictionary :) many thanks for your care
