Tics, tremors and twitches are often caused by an imbalance of minerals, an excess of lead in the body, an allergic reaction to food or chemicals, or by drugs and medication.  The most common cause is a deficiency of potassium and/or magnesium.  These minerals are essential for the conduction of nerve impulses that pass to a muscle and control its movement.  Sometimes the B complex vitamins, necessary for the health of the nervous system, are found to be deficient, and when B complex is taken, symptoms disappear.  If an excess of lead is found, calcium or zinc can effective leach the toxic metal out of the body.
