."  Essential Tremors

I also was "diagnosed" with Essential Tremors, which is a tremor with no
apparant cause.  In other words, one shakes a lot and they cannot figure out
why.  It really is not a diagnosis in my book.  I'm exactly the same as your
brother!
I know that staying away from stimulants helps a lot (as I said before).  He
can easily try this.  It's also easy to try Licorice Root....and I don't
believe this would have any side effects, and if he improves, then he would
know that weak adrenals are at least part of the problem.  He may have to do
a trail and error thing.  My feeling is that the adrenals are at play here.
He should also try breathing techniques to handle stress better.  I don't
think there is just one cause.

I remember once some 12 years ago when I had to speak in front of a group -
my left ankle starting shaking horribly!  I had no way to hide it!  Now I
handle public speaking much better - still nervous, but no more shaking.  If
he wants to improve, he will have to take an active role in his healing as it
will be a long process.

All the best to your brother...
Mary Jo
