restless leg syndrome

[Guest guest]

Yes, basically no retention. In fact, (against safe needle techinique) I'll use

3 needles to go

down the entire Hua Tou points. Put 3 in, take the first one out and put it

further down the

Hua Tou Jia Ji points. Generally I'll do alternating Left Right HTJJ's. 3 passes

usually does it.

There are some conditions which I basically see as " electrical " and this seems

to help

" discharge " trapped qi which causes the restless leg.

I use pretty thick needles but I don't think it's necessary for good results.

Thank you, Doug. I had tried this a couple of days ago, and already my patient

is reporting better results than with what I had done previously.

Hi Doug and All,

 

Doug,

 

Thanks for the tip with treating restless leg. I have a patient that was getting

decent results, but not really able to completely get rid of the restless leg.

After treating with your method, he just came in after a month and only had 2

nights with RLS. Also, have a patient that I am treating for fertility issues.

She is pretty yin xu and presents with restless empty heat. Herbs and

acupuncture have made good changes with her BBT chart, but she was always

restless on the treatment table. Again, used your 3 needle method and she all

but fell asleep on the table last visit.

 

Thanks again!

 

Cheers,

Michael

Thank you Doug!

I tried this and the patient came back with no restless leg symptoms

for the last two weeks. I started her on a modified Yi Gan San at

the same time since she has Liver and Kidney insufficiency with

Liver Wind.

 

Thanks again,

I used to get the restless legs (I have lupus and fibromyalgia), but as soon as I stopped taking the Desyrel medication (an antidepressant I used to take in order to sleep), they went away. The generic name of that medicine is Trazodone. Amelia

Jaymie, lol, that was funny, getting on your own

nerves. I find that I know a lot, but then, forget it

when I need to put it into practice, and the willpower

thing is my main issue as well. It's hard, when the

rewards aren't instant, like if you ate a chocolate

sundae. It's almost as if your attention span has to

be pushed into an expansive state to encompass the

probability that you will feel wonderful someday if

you keep on the road you are on. Now, that didn't

make any sense, did it? lol. Have a great day

everyone! For the new people, please feel free to look

Oh this is certainly an answer I can answer with tried & true results. I

used to have restless leg from time to time. And after much research and

experimenting with this and that I found that I was lacking (seriously lacking)

calcium and magesuim. But the thing is is to take a cal mag supplement that is

capsule form. Capsule form gets absorbed better than a tablet. Tablet is a

harder pill and capsule is not. Make sure to get a reputable brand and they

say taking half your dose in the morning and the second half in the evening

(all with food) is best.

And if you can find a supplement that has the calcium, magnesium, and Vit D

all in one you're doing good. Vit D helps the calcium get absorbed better in

the body.

 

Hope this helps.

Restless Leg Syndrome

 

 

I was wondering if anyone would have a solution to my problem. I have

Restless Leg Syndrome. For the last week and a half, this has been keeping

me from getting much needed sleep. Plus, I get very irritable and the pain

from fibro and having my knee replaced, is so much worse. I know there is a

drug for it but I am already on so many prescriptions, that I just do not

want anymore.

Thanks in advance,

Magick

Restless leg syndrome appears to be the symptom of a magnesium deficiency,

pure and simple. I believe it is a deficiency of magnesium relative to

calcium, and have seen 100% cure in 100% of patients using this, as have some

colleagues. Magnesium citrate, 400-600 mg for women, 800-1000 for men.

 

Mineral deficiency in modern life, affecting at least 80% of the population

 

Cut out all caffeine and don't take any antihistamines or sleep aids. They

say taking more magnesium also helps, but be careful about doing so if you

have a history of kidney stones

ok so I injured my tail bone- read broke it recently and I am having some

 

RLS symptoms going on - looked it up and sure enough a break will cause this

- so in addition to minerals- like iron for the anemic or magnesium or other

things like electrolytes there is the consideration of what is happening to

the sacrum and coccyx are there adhesions or and injury? I have been using

SJW oil and hot and cold - went to the chiropractor and it helps a bit--- in

any case just something to think about how is the blood flowing through this

part of the body

Try tonic water. Quinine helps. Vitamin E helps others. Booze makes it worse

---

Quinine Water (thinking tonic water with quinine). The brand is the same as

whoever the major tonic water brand is in the US now --Schweppes Tonic Water

I always keep a couple of litres around just for this reason if Magnesium +

B6 does not do the trick. There are several other brands like Faygo

This is a good post and magnesium (mag oil is best as it absorbs more in the

body) does seem to do the trick. However, I suggest that anyone suffering

from this also monitor their diet. The symptoms do seem to be worse when

excess sugar/carbs are consumed. which, I am afraid, would be a problem

with the tonic water (in reply to the excess sugar and carbs above). I

noticed last week while making a gin & tonic that the tonic water (I think

it was Schweppes) was made with high fructose corn syrup. Ugh, how

disappointing.

 

Tonic water contains quinine. Seltzer water is different and does not

contain quinine. Quinine tablets are also available over the counter.

Schweppes is the brand I was thinking of. Back in the '60's, at least, they

sold Quinine Water. It's still available, called " Tonic " now and a vital

ingredient in Gin and Tonic. Gin being the other one.

> Question--So just regular tonic water will help? like seltzer water?

Answer----Seltser is a different product and more akin to club soda, so no,

it won't work...

Also available, through net searching, is cinchona tincture which you can

order on your own or through your local healthfood or yuppy store. I add

mine by the drop to a glass of seltzer water and add drops of lime juice,and

for my needs, try to avoid any kind of sweetening.

Nature's Way sell a combo of herbs that may help. It is called Leg/Vein

therapy, I believe. butcher's broom, horse chestnut, cayenne?? if memory

serves me right. It helped my legs alot)

 

Hope this helps

Restless leg syndrome is related to a sluggish colon. Get the bowels

moving and this will help. Make sure you're getting enough fiber and

water in your diet. If you're having less than 2 BM's per day this is

considered being constipated.

---thank god you are starting to realise there aRE other things than

drugs

 

but where to start with you i wonder as you imply you are on so many

 

here are some things you can try

on fibro --make ahard copy

 

Tackling fibromyalgia

This is an article touching upon some of the most powerful healing

principles we know about .

I do quite a bit of research into various different ailments over

many years and will share this info with you and I also practice

spiritual healing .

 

The only promise being made quite clear here is that these things

mentioned- can be a major influence in treating the ailment.

 

A total cure might very well center around a thing called karma/

forgiveness.

 

As well as that we have our own web site where it is possible to

research quite a few healing principles and therapies. The therapies

and principles have been in use for thousands of years; a lot

emerged from ancient Egypt.

 

We have many testimonies and some research papers and can also

point you to links to other research studies indicating some remark

able results.

 

It is called the Orion project. We make the point quite clear that

we sell nothing health related or make any charge for the healing,

which comes through.

 

We actively share information, much of which has been suppressed or

not actively promoted.

 

We only promote good health this is not spam neither are we

promoting products , we leave it up to u to evaluate the material we

present we have tried this and can vouch for some excellent results.

 

WE do not advertise anything

 

There are quite a few points to consider one of which is why if

this is so good as you say why are we not being told about it. Why

indeed?

Well I am going to tell you about something that maybe less than 1%

of the population even understand.

 

The answer –vested interest and quite a bit of apathy and scientific

arrogance.

 

There are a few very important points that I would like to cover on

the subject of drugs and research and treatment At present the

system in England is this, all treatment recommended by the NHS

should be tested and approved and quite rightly so. Obviously it

costs vast sums of money to test and approve treatments because of

the possible damage to people and the subsequent litigation costing

millions of pounds. The point is this Where does this money come

from to test and approve treatments?

 

By far the biggest source is the drug companies.

 

So take for example a researcher might go along to his local drug

company and tell them his findings about this treatment he has been

working on which is of outstanding value but needs testing further

or approving, you might think they would be falling over themselves

to know more –right, you could not be more wrong.

 

By and large only treatments, which show the promise of good deal of

a profit, will even get examined.

 

Because they are in business to make a profit, not for serving the

people.

 

So many of the thousands of therapies which they see as having no

profit potential do not get approved and thus by and large do not

get recommended by your local doctor or hospital.

 

Despite The fact that some of them do have overwhelming benefits

some, which have saved needless operations, needless amputations,

needless pain and trauma, needless kidney failures and much loss of

life.

 

This will apply to any country where most research is being done by

drug companies –

 

they would probably laugh in your face if you went there with a

promising therapy which was so cheap anyone could get it.

 

Do you really think they would invest thousands of pounds in any

therapy which did not show the promise of good profit.

 

Your local G.P/ doctor is not a researcher,

 

in the main he is told what to prescribe he does not even have the

time often to look at research.

 

In fact some G.P .s doctors have had action taken against them for

prescribing supplements.

 

At this minute 2004 approx 5000 Beds are being taken up by people

in the UK who have had adverse reactions to drugs. Some will die

others will be maimed .A serious amount of suffering is taking place

on a scale that makes some wars look like a minor infringement. That

is a fact

 

So Mr/Mrs patient in 99% of the time because of this system you will

probably only get recommended drugs.

 

Primarily because of deliberate government policy not to fund

research into other therapies.

 

Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage, Spiritual

healing, Knieisiology Herbs, Light therapy, Colour therapy,

Regression therapy, Osteopathy, Zappers, Magnetic devices,

Electrical Frequency devices.

 

Has he ever mentioned the power of nutrition what you eat how much

protein, carbo, vitamins, water you take in etc.

 

Has he ever recommended a detox ..

 

All of these have shown their inherent worth with thousands if not

millions of testimonials.

 

As you can see this system in its present state is inherently

flawed, that is

 

Until the day comes when most of the research and testing is done

by an agency with no vested interests attached and a very clear

agenda of being objective. Acting for the people. Printing and

revealing all results good and bad.

 

What also clouds the issue further is the fact that some of these

drugs work well but that is not to say that there isn't something

more natural better.

 

The apathy and scientific arrogance we will leave to another time.

Moving on to a more positive note .One of the biggest problems we

see when giving this material is that a lot of people do not have

good evaluation skills. They rely on a white coat, a hospital

building, the sound of a persons voice to sway their thinking into

accepting treatments when they are ill. Like lambs they are taken

down paths some of which will lead them into untold suffering .

 

Of course this is what some of these drug companies rely on the vast

sums of money which can be generated are enormous.

 

So as the wise among you will see a little investment in time over

your health could be a very wise move indeed. Well we move now along

to our little protocol the principles of which will apply to many

other health problems as well.

 

EDGAR CAYCE'S PERSPECTIVE ON FIBROMYALGIA

During Edgar Cayce's era it was commonly called muscular rheumatism.

Several individuals with this diagnosis received readings on their

condition.

 

OVERVIEW OF THERAPEUTIC REGIME

The treatments recommended in the Cayce readings on fibromyalgia are

mainly directed toward improving the digestive, circulatory,

nervous, and eliminating systems.

 

Diet, moderate exercise, a mild form of energy medicine (Radial

Appliance), spinal manipulations and general massage, colon

irrigation, and castor oil packs are therapies intended to improve

these vital systemic functions.

 

As was typical of Cayce's holistic approach, the mental and

spiritual aspects of therapy were emphasized.

Here are the basic therapies recommended for the treatment of

fibromyalgia based on the Cayce information on this disorder:

All people are advised to get The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health

through Drugless therapy by Hugh Lynn Cayce Harold Reilly and Ruth

Hagy Brod ISBN 0-02-601960-4 Harold reillys 43 years of experience

of working with the research the results he, got the treatments he

gave- a very valuable book

 

These are the principles we can only try to empasise the importance

of every one of them to your health

 

1. INTERNAL CLEANSING: Hydrotherapy includes drinking six to eight

glasses of pure water daily, colonic irrigations (preferably) or

enemas, and a cleansing diet of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Sometimes even a sweat bath was recommended

 

2.Castor oil packs across the abdomen are recommended to improve

eliminations through the liver and colon. Mild laxatives may be

helpful if constipation is a problem. Fume baths assist with

elimination of toxins through the skin.

 

3.MANUAL THERAPY (SPINAL MANIPULATION AND MASSAGE): Osteopathic or

chiropractic treatment is recommended to relieve any pressures that

may be hindering circulation and decreasing eliminations. This is

vital , your spine and its nerve pathways can have an enormous

influence on how you feel and the functioning of your body. The

Cayce readings contain many very complimentary comments about

osteopathy of that day, such as: " There is no form of physical

mechanotherapy so near in accord with nature's measures as correctly

given osteopathic adjustments. "

 

 

4. Gentle massage is suggested to relax the body and improve

circulation and eliminations. Firstly find someone to massage your

back and legs at least 3 times a week

Use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil. Paying

particular attention to the spine and choose someone who is sympathy

with your condition. It is by no mere chance that massage has been

around for thousands of years .It is effective speeds up the toxic

removal process, enables blood to flow to many more capillaries and

can be a major factor in your well being. We advocate massage on a

weekly basis as a normal healthy practice.

 

Here are some reported benefits of massage:

Research in massage therapy has been ongoing for more than 120

years.

Here are some reported benefits of massage:

 

Preliminary results suggested cancer patients had less pain and

anxiety after receiving therapeutic massage at the James Cancer

Hospital and Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio.

 

Women who had experienced the recent death of a child were less

depressed after receiving therapeutic massage, according to

preliminary results of a study at the University of South Carolina

Medical school students at the University of Medicine and Dentistry

of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School who were massaged before an

exam showed a significant decrease in anxiety and respiratory rates.

as well as a significant increase in white blood cells and natural

killer cell activity, suggesting a benefit to the immune system

 

 

Studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found

massage beneficial in improving weight gain in HIV-exposed infants

and facilitating recovery in patients who underwent abdominal

surgery. At the University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch

Research Institute, researchers have found that massage is helpful

in decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension,

alleviating pain in migraine sufferers and improving alertness and

performance in office workers.

An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart

rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph

flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases

endorphins (enhancing medical treatment). Although therapeutic

massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak,

inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack of

exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also

can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or

injury.

 

Research has verified that:

 

Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better

and were less stressed than those who weren't massaged.

 

Massage therapy decreased the effects of anxiety, tension,

depression, pain, and itching in burn patients.

 

Abdominal surgery patients recovered more quickly after massage.

Premature infants who were massaged gained more weight and fared

better than those who weren't.

Autistic children showed less erratic behavior after massage therapy.

 

According AMTA, massage helps both physically and mentally.

 

" Often times people are stressed in our culture. Stress-related

disorders make up between 80-and-90 percent of the ailments that

bring people to family practice physicians. What they require is

someone to listen, someone to touch them, someone to care. That does

not exist in modern medicine.

 

One of the complaints heard frequently is that physicians don't

touch their patients any more. Touch just isn't there. Years ago

massage was a big part of nursing. There was so much care, so much

touch, so much goodness conveyed through massage. Now nurses for the

most part are as busy as physicians. They're writing charts, dealing

with insurance notes, they're doing procedures and often there is no

room for massage any more.

 

I believe massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing process

not only in the hospital environment but because it relieves stress,

it is obviously at the foundation in the healing process any time

and anywhere. "

 

Joan Borysenko - Massage Journal Interview, Fall 1999

 

Physical Benefits of Therapeutic Massage

Massage also provides another therapeutic component largely absent

in today's world: tactile stimulation, or, more simply, touch. In

1986, the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami

published groundbreaking research on the effects of massage on

premature babies.

 

The preterm babies who received massage therapy showed 47% greater

weight gain and six-day shorter hospital stays than the infants who

were not receiving massage. But is this study evidence of what

loving touch can do spiritually, or rather what massage can do on a

physiological level? Regardless, babies are not the only benefactors

5. DIET: The Basic Cayce Diet is intended to improve assimilation

and elimination. The diet focuses heavily on keeping a proper

alkaline/acid balance while avoiding foods which produce toxicity

and drain the system. Essentially, the diet consists mainly of

fruits and vegetables while avoiding fried foods and refined

carbohydrates ( " junk food " ). Certain food combinations are

emphasized.

 

 

 

6.ENERGY MEDICINE: In addition to the above therapies which will

tend to improve circulation, the Radial Appliance is recommended to

further assist in increasing relaxation and nervous system

coordination. Edgar Cayce said that this appliance would be helpful

for anyone having problems with disturbed sleep and fatigue.the

radial appliance can be bourght from many outlets mainly in the usa

across the internet.this device was recommended hundereds of times

for all sorts of problems .i have a fact sheet on this

 

7MEDICINE: A ginseng tonic is recommended to improve digestion and

eliminations. Small dosages of beef juice are recommended for

persons who experience significant fatigue and lack of vitality.

 

 

8.MODERATE EXERCISE: Walking or other moderate exercise is

recommended. Be outdoors in the open as much as possible.

 

9.ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS: The mental and emotional aspects of

healing are frequently discussed in the Cayce readings.

Particularly, an attitude of desiring and expecting to be healed is

important. A positive mental and emotional attitude and can be

created and maintained by focusing on a high purpose (ideal) for

being healed.

 

10. Ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary

work especialy in some health related way- when you are able. Now

this touches on a concept where by contributing something to other

peoples welfare it is hoped that the universe will respond by

offsetting some of the not so good things we have done. I have a

whole paper devoted to this subject called karma. I will send a copy

of this to you – just e-mail me. Called karma

I believe that this could be a real key needing total importance in

treating many ailments, Edgar cayce devoted many hours to this very

topic, and there are many references to it in the bible. The wise

among you will consider this very carefully

 

11. Spiritual healing, Reiki, find a good healer - but someone you

feel an attunement with at a soul level otherwise you can have

negative results making your situation worse. We are know witnessing

one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practices

are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim,

Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others.

 

Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing is one

of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so

many of his healings.

 

Put simply Spiritual Healing, Reiki is the transference of certain

energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or

even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well

outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people

can feel this energy .

 

The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful

which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit

or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a

steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its

limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite.

 

A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy

reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act

as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of

which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit

more energy than smaller wires.

 

Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going

to one healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is

with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or

what have you.

 

Spiritual Healing is natural healing energy, which is present in

this universe. Spiritual healers work in many different ways to some

it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it

can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence

of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people

and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as

beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly

transform it.

 

12. study the book -the journey ISBN 0-7225-3839-1

from this web site , http://www.thejourney.com/ this person

with the aid of the principles outlined clearly in the book -cleared

herself from a cancer growth the size of a football in 6 weeks .I

believe these same principles could be applied to a lot of

conditions with positive results.

 

*FIBROMYALGIA LINKED TO IBS*

 

The Edgar Cayce readings consistently maintain that problems in the

bowel can produce systemic conditions. A recent medical study echoes

this theme.

 

Researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los

Angeles,California may have discovered a simple test that links

fibromyalgia (acondition manifesting as muscle pain) with irritable

bowel syndrome (orIBS, a condition involving abdominal pain,

bloating, and diarrhea).

 

The lactulose breath test (LBT) is used to assess for the presence

of microbes in the bowel in cases of IBS. Some previous studies have

found that nearly one-third of fibromyalgia patients also have IBS.

 

The study, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases

(April2004), explored the hypothesis that LBT would be abnormal in

both IBS and fibromyalgia patients. The researchers recruited 42

fibromyalgia patients, 111 IBS patients, and 15 healthy control

subjects who were

given the LBT.

 

All the patients with fibromyalgia exhibited abnormal LBT results

compared to 84 percent in the IBS group and 20 percent in the

control group. Furthermore, the amount of hydrogen gas detected in

the LBT correlated with the level of pain in the fibromyalgia

patients.

 

The researchers noted that further studies would be needed to

determine if treatment and normalization of the LBT with antibiotics

can produce improvement in fibromyalgia symptoms.

I have a further question on this topic. I have both restless leg syndrome

(severe case) as well as IBS. I do not have the kind of IBS that alternates

between constipation and loose stools but the latter all of the time. I have

tried fiber treatment and have had no success. If the leg issue is related to a

sluggish colon what would cause it in my case?

 

mnewport wrote: Restless leg syndrome is related to a

moving and this will help. Make sure you're getting enough fiber and

water in your diet. If you're having less than 2 BM's per day this is

considered being constipated.

For this syndrome is called lack of exercise!

Your body wants to walk or run or just be active it is trying to tell you

something!!!

Look at everyone that has it, they do not exercise or do anything physically

to frr their bodies and their minds!

 

If only the medical world would stop giving drugs for this, they too, know its

the body screaming out for movement, that it is not getting. Again they found

another so called dis-ease with life and wnat to find a way to get you to spend

more money on a proffession that is for emergency purposes.

 

Not dealing with the long term issue of real health! Of course if they told

every one to walk, what good would that do them, and most people dont want to

exercise or be told to do that. They want a quick fix, now.

 

Start walking or running or doing step exercise and I guarantee it will stop

completely within 2 weeks time or less if you become physically active 5-6 dyas

a week. 30 minutes to an hour at a time!!!

I agree exercise is ALWAYS good but mangesium is still essential in dealing with

such things.

I have to disagree with you on this. My husband and I walk up to 5 miles every

day with our baby and I have had restless leg sydrome for many years. I have

tried both medical and nontraditional therapies for this problem and have not

had total success from either one.

Dear Tina.

I want to thank you for your post and for telling it like it is! (Or like it

needs to be!) I, too, have had this for several years. But in the last few

weeks, it has been really terrible. Robbing me of desperately needed sleep.

On June 29, I had total knee replacement, right knee. It still swells up and

gets painful, but I am working through it. When I was in the rehab hospital,

they asked me what my goal was, my answer...to walk with out pain. When the

rls strikes, I have to get up and move around, even if I am in a sound sleep.

there is much truth to your answer. Again, thanks!

My daughter went to the store last and picked up a bottle of calcium for me.

When she got home, I noticed it was calcium with mangesium! How much of that is

needed everyday?

Thank you for your answer.

Susan, what have you tried in the way of

Restless leg is a deficency in dopamine, a neurotransmiter. In

western medicine they often prescribe a drug, " requip " that is a

dopamine agonist. However there are ways in natural medicine to

increase the levels of dopamine in the brain. Phenylalanine(amino

acid),L-tyrosine (important), Rhodiola Rosea, B6, there are even

homeopathic remedies that can increase dopamine levels. A great book

to check out about neurotransmitters is " The Edge Effect " by Eric

Braverman, MD.Exposure to lead and to cigarette smoke can decrease

dopamine levels, deep breathing, relaxation techniques can help with

dopamine levels, anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting can help.

Hope this helps,

Jennifer

Magnesium is an important co-factor for the absorption of Calcium.

Much of what I'm reading lately indicates a higher need for magnesium

in our diets.

As a cofactor for calcium it is recommended 1/2 the amount of magnesium

as calcium.

Example: 600 mg of calcium -- 300 mg of magnesium.

I have a friend who is diabetic and his doctor recommended up to 1200

mg of magnesium per day.

Magnesium help with blood sugar regulation.

Magnesium is recommended in higher doses if someone is suffering from

fibromyalgia, diabetes,

osteoporosis, high blood pressure, sleeping problems, migraines, food

intolerances, constipation,

-- and this list is just a start. There is a problem with loose bowels

on higher doses. When this

happens changing to a different form of magnesium can help or simply

cut back the dosage until

bowels return to a more normal state.

Give magnesium a try. This has been mentioned numerous times on the

list. I take 400 mg of magnesium before bed, my legs are calm and I

sleep great. If I've had a particularly stressful day(s), I will take

the herb Passionflower along with the magnesium. Magnesium nurtures the

muscles. If your muscles are tense and restless it makes sense this

could indicate your muscles do not have enough magnesium. My point of

view is, if the muscles are lacking magnesium, then take it, why mess

around with a bar of soap.
