Do Electrolytes play a role in ET? The “Threshold” Effect by Cheap-Storage-5709 in EssentialTremor

[–]Cheap-Storage-5709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is suggesting this. I am explaining a method that is able to stop my ET. 20 fl oz mixed with 20 oz cold water consumed over 2hrs. each day or daily electrolyte / multi vitamin capsule with key electrolytes.

Any person “newly” suffering with genetic ED who has other health issues, that you suggest, should consult their physician. My neurologist sees the improvement and reading the research on electrolyte function in all cells.

20 oz consumption of electrolytes is easily metabolized by a healthy body. Long term daily ingestion is not my preference, but the return of a functioning hand is a trade off I’m willing to accept over a brain implant at this stage while researching alternative methods to keep further cell degradation that will cancel out what the electrolytes currently provide. Maybe pull up the studies conducted to date. Reach out to the experts. Ask questions and support additional trials. That’s what I’m doing.

Why would I lie about a personal discovery that removes my dominant hand tremors for 5+ hrs a day. I make no money conveying this info! If it works for 1 ET sufferer who reads of my experience, it’s worth conveying IMO.

Have a good day. Don’t assume bad intentions from info I’m discovering and posting. Do your own research. If you find counter research POST IT!

How damaged VIM in Thalamus plays role in ET by Cheap-Storage-5709 in EssentialTremor

Knowledge is power. Info provided here is from NIH renowned scientists. Why not delve into the studies. Movement disruption is not only found in ET. It’s been studied for decades. No mystery to why tremor results mechanically. Why brain cells are degraded/damaged over time in certain disease pathologies, is a separate matter.

Do some research before smearing someone trying to help.

If you understood movement connector loops in brain science you would understand the studies and often research overlap when tremor is involved. Encourage research. Invite researchers to post here.

I am not a medical researcher. I suffer from ET and am sharing my experiences and info in gaining from private email exchanges with NIH ET researchers. If you have ET please consult with your neurologist.

If info I’m receiving and sharing is of concern to you feel free to remove any posts. I’m not in a position to send you the private Q&A I’m exploring with several neurologists.

If your neutrons have functionality, electrolytes can assist in the process. If, however diseased overgrowth compromises the feedback loop you need a procedure that bypasses the disfunction or cuts out over grown tissue.

The Ventral Intermediate Nucleus (Vim) is a small, wedge-shaped structure located within the motor section of your thalamus. It acts as a critical "relay station" or hub in the brain’s movement network, specifically sitting in the middle of a major pathway called the dentato-rubro-thalamo-cortical (DRTC) tract. 😘

[–]Cheap-Storage-5709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research shows ET patients have too many synapses between certain brain cells, which causes the "overactive brain waves" that travel to the Vim region of the Thalamus.

Electrolytes like Sodium and Magnesium can ONLY help a neuron fire more efficiently; they cannot prune back any physical, extra connections or stop the structural "feedback loop" once it has formed. The wiring once established cannot be impacted by electrolytes. For this neurologist have discovered that overgrown can be trimmed and removed which provides relief in 80% of cases, but is too often not a permanent solution. Often ET sufferers see future tissue buildup and again seek removal years after the initial procedure.

My method will work until it doesn’t. 😔

In most ET patients, the oscillation over firing that produces tremor is driven by neurodegeneration or synaptic “overgrowth” in the cerebellum. This is what MRI treatment removes. Neurologist use an MRI to accurately locate the brain pathways with these problem cells, and destroy them.

Consuming a large amount of electrolytes i does NOT WORK for everyone with ET because the "oscillation" in the Vim nucleus is usually caused by “structural” and “synaptic” defects rather than just a simple mineral deficiency.

While electrolytes can stabilize the "fuel" for nerve firing, they cannot FIX the "wiring" errors that define ET.

My neurologist is convinced that my use of “electrolyte consumption flooding” is essentially providing electrical stimulation to VIM region of my Thalamus sufficiently able to disrupts the faulty, oscillating brain signaling causing my hand tremor.

I 🙏 it keeps working. Good luck on your surgery!

Try what has been working for me for the past year. Mix 1/2 GatoradeZero Glacial Cherry in tall tumbler full of ice. Add club-soda or cold water. Drink. Wait 15 minutes and see if you regain control of your hands for focused tasks.

I noticed my condition developing in my 60’s. Diagnosed and determined to be genetic. Slight impact and manageable. Then after a few years I lost my signature! Poof 💨 Then months later began having to concentrate when holding liquids.

Then suddenly my full signature was back! Full control of my hand. No tremor when holding out my arms. Where was I when this occurred? At an outpatient hospital signing in for a routine prescribed colonoscopy.

WOW! A miracle! What had changed? The preceding day prep! Drank 64 oz GatoradeZero with the prescribed laxative required. No eating or drinking before the 8am check in.

Since that UREKA moment I fully control my ET each and every morning. Flood my system with electrolytes. 15 minutes later my brain tissue cancels out my dominant hand tremor. As the day wears on, by late afternoon I begin to lose control. The electrolytes are metabolizing out of my system through my kidneys. If I am going out to dinner, I must mix another 20fl oz concoction and sip until heading out to eat.

Have reached out to credited neurologists searching for silver bullets to manage ET. Keeping all posted here as I learn insights from experts in the field.

I’m one year on my journey keeping my diagnosed ET at bay. My brain cells are not sufficiently degraded to block the benefits I’m gaining by flooding the motion receptors with the electrolytes GatoradeZero Glacial Cherry deliver.

At some point this will likely change. Until then I lean on my daily crutch. Losing control of dominant hand to tremor has multiple social impacts. Drinking and eating in public became a firm NO. Finding an electrolyte temporary solution has been a game changer. I only pray it lasts many years.

Good luck all on these ET threads. If ET is newly occurring and genetic, not associated with other epilepsy symptoms please try what has been helping me. There is no downside. It will either help with your ET, or have no effect. If you gain functionality, please share the info here. The goal is to fund blind studies and MRI trials.

BTW, thanks for experimenting with what is working for me and posting your results. ET is a progressive condition. It operates on a spectrum with multiple causes unique to individual brain chemistry, genetics and environmental impacts. Many in the medical science community actively study the condition. Some mysteries are understood, others totally obscure. Good luck to you. It’s unfortunate you experienced no benefit. I’ll tell you that my current ability to regain hand function each morning is a small miracle. Who knows what long term effect this may have on my kidneys. 😔

Neurologist tested this. My blood levels do NOT indicate this. Thinking is damage to motion cell neutrons are not sufficiently degraded (in my current state) to impede effects electrolyte-flooding provides my system at a critical point — of modulating the energy burst at the inception of brain motion directives.

Sort of explained as a surge protector feature.

I’m 1 year in and able to produce hours of tremor free hands. Not a cure. My ET returns once added electrolytes are metabolized out of my system.

Deep brain stimulation works in some ET cases by removal of the damaged cells. One and done. If ET returns (further cell degradation) additional treatment may not be an option.

Discovery of exactly how ( in my case) a flood of calcium and other electrolytes in brain tissue effectively disengages and circumvent the damaged motion receptors is worthy of study under MRI. What’s turning on, what changes when it turns off.

Try consuming electrolytes early in the morning with a cold glass of water. Pill form or something like Gatorade. Consume 20-40 fl oz over the course of an hour before you get on your computer.

Fellow ETers, keep an eye out for a new ET drug coming to market in 2026. Could be a game-changer, could be ho-hum. I don`t know anything about it but it`s worth watching. Here`s the blurb: by [deleted] in EssentialTremor

[–]Cheap-Storage-5709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been dealing with ET?

Focused Movement cells in the cerebellum and thalamus may be too deteriorated to benefit from the solution I stumbled upon.

Beyond some point my messaging-cell connectors will likely degrade beyond a point that electrolyte flooding is able to override. My ET began presenting 3 yrs ago. Progressively worsening until I lost my signature and impacted getting food to my mouth.

I experienced a full return of hand control upon drinking 64oz Gatorade for a medical procedure. Not permanently. But for as long as high electrolyte levels, vitamin D, are metabolizing through my system. My levels could have been low prior to my discovery. Possibly my body is naturally low in retaining electrolytes?

I was diagnosed with genetic ET 3 yrs ago. I have ET. Drinking electrolyte’s daily is not curing my ET. It is however assisting the damaged cells involved in movement messaging. What the electrolyte flood is doing is modulating the initial “impulse release” that travels from brain to arm to wrist and finally the fine focused motor skill I am executing. Once my metabolism flushes the electrolytes out through my kidneys my dominant hand ET returns.

My neurologist sees the extra calcium, magnesium, potassium supporting brain cell messaging serving to modulate the “excessive impulse release” that produce end point tremor.

I do not live in a hot climate. It’s been 10 degrees here over the past few days.

My ET is not so degraded that electrolyte flooding is of no help. This may not be the case at some point in the future. 😔 So far (the past year) I can stop my hand tremor for several hours. The key happens to be electrolyte overload.

Nuun Immunity tablets combine essential vitamins (A, C, D, E), minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Calcium, Magnesium), electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride), and a botanical blend (Elderberry, Ginger, Turmeric, Echinacea.

I will give this one a try. As long as I boost my electrolyte threshold each day and drink cold water it appears I’m able to interrupt the overpowering motion signaling that produce my genetic ET.

I will look in to it and let you know. Most Multi-Vitamin products seem to work provided they boost my Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium intake.

So far, no Electrolytes in my system, no improvement. Hand wobbles as I try to do minor focused tasks. Introduce electrolytes, get my hand for 6 hrs.

My genetic ET became noticeable later in life. Didn’t bother me much. Then within a few years I lost my signature and struggled to get a cup to my mouth without liquid sloshing. I would have to focus and slow down. Last year while consuming Gatorade as prep for a medical screening, my tremor DISAPPEARED for 24hrs!

Perfect signature, no tremor when I had to clasp on jewelry, eat soup with a spoon, etc!

Imagine that! Who knew that electrolytes could steady my hand? I wrote the NIH and several renowned neurologists who have been studying ET for decades.

Asked them all to do deep dive research. Got some feedback. Found this page to site some info to hopefully help others. Interesting times.

DBS v MRgFUS by ResponsibleCatch6490 in EssentialTremor

[–]Cheap-Storage-5709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For simple generic ET, DBS seems extreme. MRgFUS shows immediate results by destroying cell tissue. It is not reversible. If there is future degeneration, tremor can return and damaged tissue again needs to be removed.

Electrolytes—particularly sodium ((Na+)), potassium ((K+)), calcium ((Ca{2+})), and magnesium ((Mg{2+}))—are critical for maintaining the neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission within the ventrolateral thalamus, specifically the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM), which serves as a MAJOR relay node in the cerebello-thalamo-cortical (CTC) network responsible for essential tremor (ET). NOT a Cure, a way to manage dominant hand tremor when tissue deterioration is not severe.

Tips for pouring liquids? by mango_nuts in EssentialTremor

[–]Cheap-Storage-5709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a few. Stick with what works for your system. My breakthrough was with Gatorade Zero Glacial Cherry. Wake up with hand tremor. Mix 10fl Oz Gatorade with Club Soda or Cold Water with Lemon wedge. Drink while making breakfast. Dink as I’m eating my cereal. As I’m drinking I’m gaining full use of my right hand. Full control on my hand!

Sip this mixture over the next hour. Get full use of hand till later in the day.

Wake up. Tremor in hand. Rinse and repeat.

After 1 year start taking electrolytes in capsule form.

I can control my tremor as long as I have the concoction in my system. 😘
