Alon- Whats your treatment for RLS?

[Guest guest]

Alon,

 

Could you talk about your treatments for RLS and its efficacy?

 

Thanks for any wisdom you can share.

first i have to say that i have had mixed results with rls. Some pt did very

well while other say they have not benefited. I tend to treat using a mixture of

OM and nutritional unless pt does well on one or the other. Since i have stopped

doing much nutritional testing i tend to give amino acids based on

presentations. Sometimes i use products such as neurolink from DFH as a base.

Looking for food allergies is important and i have seen quite good results when

present. Iron def is said to be common in these patients but i have not

supplemented often. Mag and vit e have also been reported to help but i cant

comment since i never used them on their own.

As far as OM i always treat by the pulses and pattern etc..its common to see

patients with hollow pulses and a good base formula is xiao jiang zhong

tang...if liver pulse is deep and weak or deep and tight i will add jue yin

herbs such as danggui or wuzhuyu approach. I have also seen patients were the

left cun is superficial weak, guan wiry and right cun slippery and tight for

which i start with chihu guizhi ganjiang tang and usually later end up with a

xiao jiang zhong approach. I have also seen a pt with a wumeiwan pattern and

several with shenqi wan patterns. I have tried adding mugua in various

combination with mixed results. That said anything goes..

Thanks Alon.

 

Please consider putting together a clinical manual with your experiences and

brief summeries as you have given here on RLS. This would be very beneficial.

 

Not to blow smoke, but I find your work very comprehensive and concerned with

results, not traditionalism, dogma, or some system you have created. Thank you

for your work.
