I had to look it up---I've never even heard of this disorder.

The pathophysiology of ET is not known. No pathological findings are known to be associated consistently with ET. However, the following has been hypothesized:
  • ET is the result of an abnormally functioning central oscillator, which is located in the Guillain Mollaret triangle near the brain stem and involves the inferior olivary nucleus.
  • The cerebellar-brainstem-thalamic-cortical circuits probably are involved.
With that little bit quoted from here, I think I'd be safe to say you're probably not going to find any revolutionary advice or supplement recommendations from Sherdog D&S. You're far better off consulting a neurologist.

So its just a tremor of the limbs? There is some info on wikipedia about it. I'm curious how you know its an essential tremor rather than something else? Parkinsons has a tremor, withdrawal of drugs can cause tremors, stimulant abuse, touretts.

So, if you have seen a dr. and are diagnosed with Essential tremors, I'd listen to what he says and then go get a second opinion. If you haven't seen a dr. go see one asap to find out the problem.

My body was asking about it.
He was diagnosed by a doctor.
He was on endoral (spelling) but it slowed his heart rate down so much that working out became a problem.
I was just curious if anyone else had run into this or knew of someone.
I am trying to get him to clean up his diet and see if that has an effect, mainly taking out processed foods.

He doesn't want to go back on the meds because of the working out thing.

Thanks
