Yes, I also experience motion sickness if I do not do the following:
Options -> Video -> Display tab -> VSync = On
Options -> Video -> Quality tab -> Motion Blur = Off
Hit Apply after making each change.
To reduce eye strain (sometimes linked with motion sickness), I would suggest your friend take more frequent breaks (every 20-50 mins) and enable "Night light" mode (adds a sepia tone) if using Windows 10. Personally, I do not like to do the latter, as I prefer a more vivid color scheme (70 digital vibrance on Nvidia GPUs, or 140 saturation on ATI/AMD GPUs)

Maxing out the FoV to 85 helps as well. It gets a little fisheye, but that isn't terrible.

Is it the the fluctuating framerate or the tearing that makes you sick without vsync? Or both?
I usually don't get motion sicknes, but i hate tearing. Also i prefer a stable framerate, but that could be also achieved through a framelimiter without sync.
Just interested, because Free-/G-Sync would also fix the tearing, but still not cause a stable framerate without using an additional framelimiter.
For the motion sickness also take a look on the framerate itself. Depends on the player but low framerates may also cause motion sickness, even if people are basically satisfied with like 30fps.
