- Dr. Stanley Lang, MD, Family Practitioner, DuBois, PA
|
"I have thoroughly analyzed
every known scientific study
that has been done on
Restless Legs Syndrome.
Taking all of this

"Physical signs and symptoms are ways your body tries to ALERT you to deeper imbalances. Taking the time to decipher the body's codes is ALWAYS better than simply popping a pill and hoping the symptoms just go away. Ideally, we want to get to the CAUSES of problems, not just suppress the end result of ill health."
- Dr. Elson M. Haas, MD, Family Physician, San Rafael, CA
|

- Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, founder of Founder of "Women to Women", Yarmouth, ME
|
"Restless leg syndrome is an INFLAMMATORY condition. Doctors don't know the exact cause, but agree that something triggers inflammation that affects the nerve pathways involved. Since chronic inflammation usually begins in the gut, take a look at what foods you eat that could be contributing to an unhealthy gut flora and an unhealthy digestive lining."
- Dr. Michael Cutler, MD, Family Physician, Salinas, CA
