Overcoming Tourette's Syndrome: Marc Elliot at TEDxNightingaleBamfordSchool

- Marc Elliot knows adversity firsthand. He was born with a rare disease that left him with virtually no intestines, and at age nine he developed a neurological disorder, Tourette's Syndrome, that manifested with physical and vocal outbursts called tics. In any given day, Marc would experience upwards of 3,500 tics, totaling approximately 25 million over the course of his 20-year struggle with the disorder. Remarkably, in 2013, after taking courses with Executive Success Programs, Marc completely overcame his Tourette's by using mind over body. Now 28 years old, Marc lives tic-free. He was named 2011 College Speaker of the Year by Campus Activities Magazine, is the author of What Makes You Tic?: My Journey From Tourette's To Tolerance, and has reached nearly one million people with his message of tolerance.

Congrats for this very inspiring video. This kind of empowerment should be taught to everyone, with Tourette or any kind of adversity. The power to change your life is indeed in your own hand.
True that! :)
My Grand Son has just been diagnosed genetically afflicted with Tourettes, missing a certain chromosone , he is exibiting "tics" and the Dr said in 9 mos it will get noticebly worst. I pray thanking God using good people like this to help calm the fear to have hope. Mr Elliot is there anything more I can or my family can do to help this beautiful boy, who recently scored a 110 on his IQ test.
I started to experience some tics with my involuntary mouth movements around 2017. I somehow can overcome it by praying.
God bless you, I hope that it will be only better for you! Stay strong :)
So I feel like this was meant to provide hope but with no explanation of how he has gained control of his Tourette's it leaves me a bit frustrated as I'm going through medication changes to try to find a way to minimize my tics and in turn minimize my headaches from the constant barrage of tics.
he seems to be in total control of his disorder. I hope my tourettes dwindle in the coming years
I keep my mind busy like reading a book and sleeping helps too. It all depends on your severity. Also try working out
So it’s been 5 years, how are you doing now?
@@ALEET I received very good treatment, and stopped taking medicine altogether about 10 months ago. my tics are hardly noticable by me or others most days :)))
@@thesurfingwalrus nice what things did you do to get it under control
You do make me feel better....I am now okay.
My Tourette just kicked in at 29 and my wife left a week after I was diagnosed
I was diagnosed two years ago at 52. I also have Asperger
Sorry to hear : (
so sorry to hear. i have tourettes as well and have struggled day in and day out. You’ll find someone who appreciates you for you and not what you aren’t because you’re not your tics. All things happen for a reason
Sorry to hear that. I have tourettes, first husband mocked me.... I'm at the point where I doubt I will find someone as much as I try to deal with my tourettes and have had to get used to my own company. It's tough but perseverance is the key
Thank you
Hi Marc, is there a way to get in touch with you? I wanted to get more information on the program you referred to in your talk. Thanks
is there anyway how I can contact you
Sir, wat did U do to get rid of the tics? Pks explain the excercises. It will be great help.
Amazing!
No.. it’s not. Marc still promotes Keith Raniere and his NXIVM cult as the cure for his Tourette’s even after all of the crimes have come to light and Keith was sentenced to 120 years behind bars. All of these talks were part of Marc’s and Keith’s plans to recruit more people into the cult. I would highly consider taking this video down. He is a fraud. I also went to middle school & high school with Marc and his family so I know what he was like in the past. Please consider taking down this video.
@@sydneymichelle8357 thank you!
good luck and i hope my son could learn something from this video
He was a NXIVM member
one number one Marc Elliot you are my hero
nice!
So how did you actually quit saying the verbal tics aloud how did you get rid of those? This would be really helpful to know if you can explain how you got them to stop.
The tics can in some cases go away when you get older
Yes, there's not way to "make them go away," but there are medications that can lesson symptoms, and they can fade away over time.
Look online or his interview with NXIVM leader on CZcams. He claims that guy cured him.
He shidded and came
Thank you for your incredible message.
I think it's great he overcame but I feel he's only supporting Keith ranere to save his own reputation
His tics are not the same as mine I don't know what I might say and it so fast . He grew out of his that good and very common.
While I love your message.. and have been an overall confide person... my tics are so uncontrollable and I try so hard to suppress fir many reasons-but a big one being that I've [unintentionally] hurt myself. . That the stress on my body builds up. I am desperate for peace in my mind and body...
Is it genetic?
@@savantvithalary5230 yes
He is talking about the law of attraction in sense you really believe it to be truth it will remain. Try meditation and subliminals
That's because he's from a cult and he's faking having tourettes
The Bible does say as a man thinketh so is he.
thank u so much I have learnt that my terett syndrome is not so bad after all
THANK YOU😅😅
Yes!!!!!
I am the same way
What was the school in NY that made a difference?
nxivm cult
He did not show much footage of his tics or at what age he was. You can grow out of those tics in many cases. When he met keith for the very first time, were his tics as bad as it shows in this video? I
I ask because we'd like to know if NXIVM has any real merit? We don't want to throw the well-intentioned baby out with the scandalous bathwater, yeah?

They are no cure he grew out of his some people don't grow out of tourette's I would just love it if he would stop b.s everybody.
Isn’t he from the NXIVM cult?
yep
No doubt
I absolutely don't believe that simply changing your perspective on how much bullying hurts will make it go away. It will hurt no matter what. That's like saying "sticks and bones don't break bones and words can never hurt me." I think the belief system is a great story, but cannot be equated to bullying. You are negating all the research and work people do to overcome issues with bullying. Your message degrades the impact of bullying issues.
That's what you believe. But your beliefs comes from ignorance and lack of experience. Our society hugely underestimates the power of the mind, both the conscious and the subconcious.
We actually believe that beliefs aren't that powerful, but in fact, this belife impacts our life so much!
Beliefe*
This did not age well
What would you call a con-mans star pupil?...yep you guessed it, a con-man.
This guy is too drunk on the kool aid to be completely legit.
Just because he overcame it doesn't mean the majority of us can.
Exactly
Auzzak88 Pat speak for yourself first of all. And secondly we can ALL change our own view of the world.
Auzzak88 Pat good job spreading negativity
You and everybody else don't have to do anything you don't want to. Just don't say you "can't" do it.
With God all things are possible
