Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 I applaud the encouragement for everyone educating themselves and possibly their health care providers in the process. Education is the best defense! In spite of what some might think, I am very very open-minded about ANY treatment regimen, alternative/complimentary/allopathic/homeopathic...., that might, just might, help us in our never-ending search for satisfactory but safe relief from our RLS suffering and for our noble and just demand for a good night's sleep! For those who have been on the list for a long time know that I have been equally critical of traditional medicine/docs and there sometimes feeble and misguided attempts to " help " us. However, it is equally important to protect yourself against " medical " quacks who profit by exploiting our suffering, our frustration and our health concerns. Again, education is the best defense whether you are dealing with " traditional " or " alternative " medicine. I know it has been mentioned before but a valuable resource for learning about alternative treatments is QUACKWATCH, a nonprofit organization that is fighting nutrition quackery. Quackwatch in on the web at: www.quackwatch.com This excellent site utilizes more than 140 medical and legal advisers, contains extensive consumer information and provides links to other useful resources.
