The tag line in a news article 19 Jul 2007 at Medical News Today is “Scientists Discover Genes Behind Restless Legs”, based on one study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the other study published in the journal Nature Genetic.

So Hallelujah all you have to do if you suffer from this sleep disorder is to wait for a Drug Company to use this information, take out a patent with a drug that blocks the symptoms while causing intolerable side effects and 15-20 years from now you’ll be able to take advantage of this miracle treatment that is 5-10% effective at a premium price.

To be sure there are prescription drugs that are on the market for this syndrome that can keep you awake and make you feel like you have the creepy crawlies in your legs. However, if you are proactive and don’t just accept the ‘Big Pharma’ line and find a physician or health care provider that looks at diet and nutritional deficiencies you can get the help you need at an affordable price with better results now.

As Melvyn R. Werbach, MD wrote in The Townsend Letter in an article entitled- Nutritional Influences on Illness- Restless Legs Syndrome, hypoglycemia, caffeine, various vitamins, minerals and nutrients in Scientific Studies can play a role.

There can be any of one or more of these along with food intolerances/allergies that contribute to Restless Legs Syndrome so don’t be swayed by the vested interests of ‘Big Pharma’ or a biased physician who is uninformed about simple yet effective natural treatments.
