555 - Marc Elliot (NXIVM - Overcame Tourette's Syndrome)
At age nine, Marc was diagnosed with Tourette\u2019s Syndrome due to incessant vocal and motor tics that interfered with every aspect of his life. Every medical professional concluded that his condition was uncontrollable and incurable, but Marc overcame Tourette\u2019s in 2013, drawing from innovations from courses in emotional intelligence (NXIVM), using only mind over body, and sheer will. (Adapted from Marc\u2019s website.) Marc is a passionate advocate for NXIVM\u2019s founder, Keith Raniere, arguing that Keith didn\u2019t get a fair trial and that his actions have been misrepresented in the media.
