Has anyone heard of or used with positive results

Has anyone used a program such as the Dr. Pompa detox and supplement program or equivalent and reieved positive results, ie. Having their RLS cured.
These programs are expensive and time consuming. Are they worth it.
I've suffered severe RLS for over 60 years only to have it get worse as I have gotten older.

  1. Lori,
    Thank you for your time.
    RLS is very frustrating, what works for some and not for others. Dr.Pompas program does not carry high marks with RLS suffers.

  2. Hi . I don't have any experience with these programs, but I did some light research and I didn't find much concrete evidence that expensive detox programs are effective. However, there is some research that shows that an imbalance microbiome might be a contributing factor to disorders like RLS. Here's an article that discusses it: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/clinical/gut-health. I hope you get some input from others who have tried programs like Dr. Pompa's and can give you some insight. In the meantime, here is a wonderful article about foods that can sometimes benefit people with RLS: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/healthy-foods. I hope this helps.
