RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME "He, who knows how to listen, hears wisdom.
Restless Leg Syndrome is also known as RLS or Ekbom syndrome. People with the condition may experience tingling, twitching, fidgeting, aching, prickling, or burning of the legs. It is a rare condition and these unpleasant, restless sensations in the legs cause an irresistible urge to move them. The sensations are especially bad at night and can lead to insomnia. Affected people are likely to have day time fatigue due to the loss of sleep. The exact cause of RLS is unknown but has been linked to: alcoholism, iron deficiency, anemia, diabetes (type 1 and 2) and rheumatoid arthritis. Traditional treatment includes care for any underlying conditions (as outlined above), and sometimes use of anticonvulsants medications. In 2005, ropinirole became the only drug approved by the FDA specifically for the treatment of RLS. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke classifies RLS as a neurological disorder. They estimate that RLS affects as many as 12 million Americans. Some people don't even seek medical help because they don't believe the medical community will take them seriously or they consider their symptoms too mild. About 50% of the cases appear to be genetic. Pregnant women often experience RLS but thankfully symptoms usually disappear within 4 weeks after delivery. Some drugs such as anti-nausea, anti-seizure, anti-psychotic medications and some cold and allergy products may aggravate the symptoms. If you are prone to RLS, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco may trigger an episode. Being stupid, isn't not knowing much, nor is it not wanting to know much.
RLS is generally a lifelong condition for which there is no cure at this time according to NINDS.
Medicine cures three tenths, diet cures seven tenths.

Drinking Kombucha on a regular basis also may very well be the most important thing you can do to regain and maintain good health.
Kombu. . what, you might ask. It wasn't until 1993 that Kombucha was introduced to the American public. Today, over 3,000,000 Americans drink Kombucha on a regular basis. Kombucha doesn't target 1 symptom or condition. It works at the cellular level to improve your overall health so that your body can heal itself. We have complete web pages covering anemia, arthritis and diabetes which are thought to be underlying causes (see our Home Page for a complete listing). Of course it is up to you to eliminate bad habits such as alcohol and as you feel better a reduction in Meds and OTC products would be expected. Kombucha can also be absorbed thru the skin. A warm or hot bath containing a cup or two of aged Kombucha should also be helpful. A small glass of diluted Kombucha 30 minutes before bedtime puts me out like a light. The effect Kombucha has on the digestive process is truly amazing. With better absorption of nutrients one usually experiences a boost in energy levels. Watch your diet and exercise such as walking, swimming or light work outs will also benefit your recovery. Kombucha sometimes enhances the effectiveness of other medications and it is important to keep your health provider informed so dosage can be adjusted if needed. Kombucha by itself
doesn't cure anything. It costs only about $5 a month since you brew the tea yourself. About 1 or 2 hours a month is needed for the brewing and cleanup. It's also simple. If you can bake a Duncan Hines cake then you too can be a Master Brewmeister. I grew up in Missouri and as Uncle Harry (Truman) would say, the buck stops here.
