RE: Restless Leg Syndrome Question for / Magnesium and CoQ10

[Guest guest]

Wow, this is very interesting stuff………you

know that they have isolated the gene also that causes RLS last year in Iceland.

I have severe RLS and when I took Requip

the side effects were worse than the disorder. Right now I take an opiate drug

for my RLS and I hate it, but at this point it’s do that

Or never sleep another day in my life. I

am now on bioidentical hormones and cortisol, but I still have RLS. BUT I am

not yet on optimal levels of hormones yet, just low doses. So I will be very

interested to see if my RLS goes away after I get my hormones all back together

again. I also take cortisol and I know for a fact that I have high adrenaline

issues. So there could be some real truth to this.

Restless Leg Syndrome: A Simple Solution

By E. Platt, M.D.

The purpose of this article is to reach out to people with Restless

Leg Syndrome (RLS), to let them know that they have the option of

improving their condition without having to resort to medications

that may create some serious side effects.

The most satisfying approach to treating this condition is to deal

with its cause, which can actually result in the elimination of the

problem. Giving band-aids such as magnesium, or anti-Parkinson drugs

such as Requip or Mirapex, allow the disorder to persist.

I am a board-certified internist, and health book author,

specializing in wellness and natural hormone replacement. I have

found that RLS is caused by an imbalance of certain hormones.

The hormone creating the restlessness is adrenaline; also know as the

fight - or - flight hormone. Characteristically, RLS patients have an

excess of adrenaline, may toss and turn all night, be quick to anger,

might be workaholics, will usually have fibromyalgia (aches and

pains - low back, side of the hips, and grind their teeth), they

might drink too much, and will be hypoglycemic (sleepy between 3-4

p.m. or when in a car), and so on. There is an associated over-

production of insulin and an under-production of progesterone.

>BUT I am not yet on optimal levels of hormones yet, just low doses.

Dr Platt recommends 100 mg Progesterone before each meal. Definitely created miracles in my life!

[Guest guest]

Really? that is good news, because

I am only on 20mg of progesterone, and I had SEVERE PMS this week before I

started my period today, even big blood clots and major mood swings too, I know

that those are all symptoms of too low progesterone, but since he is a good

doctor, he would not give me more then that without test results, the saliva results

should be in soon, then he will up my meds accordingly. Thanks so much.

Dr Platt goes more by symptoms than testing. His book, The Miracle of BioIdentical Hormones ... http://www.bodymindspirithealing.com/progesterone.htm has his protocol in it and why he recommends that dose. It changed my life.

I could not dose hormones based on saliva testing, I had to treat my symptoms. I used the dosing chart at http://www.womensinternational.com and also had a helpful compounding pharmacist. I have no desire to do another saliva test. (

Thanks for the information , I

thought that natural progesterone was prescription only. So this is good news.

I am sure many women would benefit from

this stuff.

Thanks

Hi Mia,

>I thought that natural progesterone was prescription only. So this is good news.

No, it is available in any health food store. I prefer Natpro http://www.bodymindspirithealing.com/progesterone.htm because it has the most progesterone - 33 mg per tsp. Most have only 20 mg.

[Guest guest]

Many toxic ingredients in this. Much better alternatives available. Isn't sodium borate something we want to avoid? (Along with most of the other ingredients!)

And are you selling this?
