My mom has Orthostatic Tremor. Any non-drug things that can help?

My mom has a condition called orthostatic tremor. It just means that she can't stand in one place for very long or she trembles and has to sit down. It's different than what's called "essential tremor". She has NO problems walking, only when she stands in one spot.
She's tried taking the standard drugs for this, but they are all basically sedatives that cause her to be drowsy and feel "drugged out". Is there anything natural out there that might help?
Condition description:
Primary Orthostatic Tremor, also known as Orthostatic Tremor (OT), is a neurological movement disorder, characterized by high frequency tremors of the legs when in a standing position, and an immediate sense of instability.

Because of the speed of the contractions (13-18 Hz)* you may not recognize the problem as a tremor as compared to the more common essential tremor (4-7 Hz) or Parkinsons (3-6Hz) which produces a very visible movement.

From treatment, suggest your doctor to prescribe her Dopamine agonists. Those should not cause sedation.
Good luck!

I would treat this from several angles as there can be many contributing causes:
- find alternative medicine doctor to test for heavy metals in her system and do chelation therapy
- same doctor can test her nutritional levels (esp. B vitamins, calcium and magnesium)
- she may need bowel cleanse and HCl supplementation to help her absorb her food
- parasite cleanse to rid her body of bacteria etc that can affect the nervous system

-The same doctor can treat all these. Ask them if they treat those before making an appointment.

I asked a similar ? and was directed to type in: what your doctor doesn't know about nutrition could be killing you. I'm probably going to buy the book. about $11.95 it might be (is killing you) good luck!
