DEAR DR. GOTT:
I am an 87-year-old female. June 2007 I had a very bad stroke and am now in a rehab facility because my left side is paralyzed. I have Restless Legs Syndrome. Requip no longer works, I get little sleep and it is driving me nuts. A friend told me you had a soap remedy which might help me. I am counting on you!
DEAR READER:
The soap-under-the-sheets remedy was originally sent to me as a cure for night-time leg cramps but since then many RLS sufferers have also found relief using it. It does not work for everyone but it is worth a shot. Simply place a bar of soap under the bottom sheet of your bed near your legs. That is it. Many individuals have also found that if they have a problem while not in bed, putting soap in their socks or rubbing liquid soap directly onto their legs also reduces pain. Let me know if it works.
As an aside, I recently received a product in the mail called Wilcox Family Products Leg Cramp Relief. The manufacturer claims that after seeing first hand the benefits of soap-under-the-sheets, he wanted to know how it worked. He interviewed soap manufacturers and formulation specialists from across the country. He then began working with a specialized chemist (40 years experience in soap, cream and lotion). Together they isolated and concentrated the common soap ingredients found in the most beneficial brands.
Anyone interested in finding out more about the product or purchasing it should go online to www.WilcoxFamilyProducts.com. I will also say that I have no financial, personal or business interest in the company and was not paid in any way to promote it. I am simply mentioning it because I believe it may be of great interest and benefit to my readers.
To give you related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies” and “Stroke”. Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 (per report) to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title(s).
