Summary: Stopping Restless Legs Syndrome
Review:
The book gives good details:
1. defines the condition
2. reviews potential causes and who is at risk
3. diagnosing RLS - doctors can miss it - read this section carefully
4. treatments- traditional medicine and alternative treatments: diet, supplements, massage, exercises,
5. gives good overview of drugs
6. talks about dealing with it psychologically
7. support groups information
I think this is a real help and is a good starting point.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stopping Restless Llegs Syndrome
Review: The author explains the condition well and provides information with ease. This is an alternative health book and gives sound advice on what to do. It states that RLS can be mis-diagnosed by doctors. It can!
The self-massage suggestions work. Additionally, the suggestions for supplements have merit.
I like the workbook style as it is easy to read. I can write notes in it as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where's the beef?
Review: When I ordered this book, I was expecting, as in most medically-oriented books, a reasonably well documented work, laying out the most recent research covering the topic, with footnotes leading me to both the sources the author used in writing the book, as well as material for additional research. This book has none of that. There wasn't a hint of the author's background. There wasn't a single footnote. Had I not suffered from RLS for over twenty years, I wouldn't have been able to even guess as to the validity of the material. Fortunately, I have personal experience of most of the conclusions arrived at in the book, and found them to be reasonably accurate, allowing me to infer that the remaining conclusions are also valid.
My recommendation: Don't buy this book. Instead, check out the other books on this topic carried by Amazon, which are better documented, and thus more reliable sources.
