Hi Ann, The figure of 100,000 deaths from adverse effects of pharmaceutical drugs is on the FDA’s own website: m Why Learn about Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)? Over 2 MILLION serious ADRs yearly 100,000 DEATHS yearly Additionally, here is another paper published in the Journal of the American Medical...

I just wanted to write an update. I switched from the Poppy seed tea mid last year to Kratom powder. I build up a tolerance to the tea and it just stopped working after about 4 months, and I was reluctant to increase the dosage. I have now been taking Kratom (Borneo Red Vein Fine Powder) for over se...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to write a quick update. The PST was incredibly effective for about 4 – 5 months but unfortunately I gradually started building up a tolerance and I was very reluctant to increase the dosage (from 4 tablespoons a night as a tea). I stopped drinking the tea in late July ...

Hi Mary, Thank you so much for this! I’ll also try spreading out my dosage! I’ll also experiment with the Green Leaf one too. Can I ask, how many months / years have you been taking it? Anyway, there are quite a few alkaloids in Kratom and it is from what I understand it is the only non-opioid to ha...

Hi Jul2873, I hope you are still having success with the Kratom capsules. I started to build up a tolerance to the Poppy Seed tea (it worked so well there for a few months) so I tried the Kratom powder (Red Borneo Leaf loose powder) again and I'm finding it really effective. However, I notice that i...

Hi Mary, Thank you so much for all your incredibly helpful information! I've ordered the Kratom capsule (Red Dragon and another one), so I'll let you know how I go! There was a really interesting study published today on the different levels of protein found in the cerebrospinal fluid of women with ...

Another fascinating study that's just been published on different protein levels in the cerebral spinal fluid of women with and without WED / RLS: The Protein Profile of Restless Leg Syndrome June 7, 2013 — A protein profile of people with restless leg syndrome (RLS) identifies factors behind disrup...

Hi jul2873,

Thank you so much again for all your fantastic info and posts. I have also been trying the D-Ribose and it seems to be helping too.
I just had a quick question, which brand of the Red Dragon Capsules (Kratom) are you using?
There seem to be so many brands out there!
Many thanks,
Erika

Hi Peanut1,

I buy mine online from a site called www.iherb.com

They are just regular poppy seeds that you use to make muffins and bagels.

They ship everywhere and here is a link to the seeds I’ve been using:

I’ve noticed a little tolerance now though ..

I hope this helps!

Hi Jul2873, Thank you so much for this. I’ll definitely try it again. I tried the Red Borneo leaf powder once and it wasn’t as effective as the Poppy Seed Tea and I felt quite nauseous too. I will definitely try the capsules. I think it’s a great idea to vary as much as possible so as not to build u...

Hi Jul2873, I’m curious as to how you take the Kratom? Do you take it in a capsule form or in the powdered form? I know there are a number of different strains with different effects as well .. some have more pain relieving qualities. Which strain have you found to be effective? Have you noticed any...

Has anyone seen this new study out today? EDIT by Beth: this is a plain-language summary of the research posted above: Postby cornelia » Tue Apr 30, 2013 7:35 am First research (I think) done on relation RLS with glutamate: m Here is a link and I have copied it below too: It found that glutamate (a ...

I buy my poppy seeds from the site iHerb.com. This is from Wikipedia and why I first tried the poppy seed tea: m “A small amount of dried poppy or poppy tea at night is an effective remedy for restless leg syndrome (RLS), and is superior to quinine, codeine alone, or clonidine for this purpose becau...

It would be really great to know the exact amounts of each of the constituents in the amount of poppy seed tea! It works so incredibly well for me and I don't seem to be developing any tolerance as yet .. I really hope it continues. I am only using 60 grams or 4 tablespoons to make a tea a night (pl...

Hello everyone, I’m now in my mid 40’s and have been suffering from WED for more than 20 years and it seems to progressively be getting worse… I have tried an endless number of non-pharmacological solutions and a few pharmacological solutions and have never had any great success with anything until ...
