Restless Legs Syndrome....remedy!


Posted by Islena on July 20, 2000 at 16:57:55:

Not long ago, I read a "write-in" to the Saturday Evening Post magazine, in which a lady said that she had a solution (for her) to RLS. I was desperate, since I could not sleep for sometimes a week at a time due to the same. She said that whenever she experienced RLS, she took a couple extra spoonsful of Essential Minerals by New Vision. I had never heard of it, but I looked it up on the Net, and ordered some (I'd try anything at that point). It worked! I had a feeling that somehow it was (in me) related to an electrolyte imbalance. I looked up micro-electrical currents and ionic relations in the cells of the body, and there is definitely a relation between mineral imbalance and RLS. I noticed in myself that I would have an especially bad time of it the night following a day of heavy exercise or yard work when I had perpsired heavily. So my electrolytes were out of balance...loss through sweat. The lady who wrote in to the magazine said that whenever she felt RLS coming on, she would get up and take a couple of extra spoonsful of Essential Minerals, and then the RLS would stop. I find the same. It's wonderful to be able to sleep, and to feel that I have some control over it! (No, I am not a sales rep, and I do not have anything to do with New Vision. It works for me, and I hope to help someone else.) Best wishes!
