I scale one of Mrs Ti's Caltrate plus tabs. Works everytime.

Do a little more research before taking this kind of treatment.......MOST NB: see your doctor first. Dispirin (active ingredient: acetylsalicylate) has some MAJOR side effects if taken at the wrong doses (gastro-intestinal bleeding is just one and not something to be sniffed at!)

 

I can asure you that I did my research very well. What statement of mine has you up in arms ? Even water can kill you with the wrong dosis ...

Relax, not on the attack at all, just handing out advice like you are....BTW agree that water at the wrong dose can kill you, especially if you 50m down and you air supply runs out!

To try and make it all more impressive, get the spelling of "doses" correct.

 

I'll try too, just give me some time.

 

Also, one o is all it takes.

I hate being a grammar Nazi, but when engineers ,doctors, scientists only to name a few make small mistakes like these, it kind of kills the credibility and the impact for me.

 

Thus far, I have learnt nothing from this topic.

So I am off to bed with a Disprin in the hand and a potato in my sleep shorts.

Personally I think it is caused by stress, anxiety. And then also Adrenal Fatigue (google it, most of us have it without knowing and really not easy to get rid of)

 

I recommend drinking herbs to help calm your nerves such as Ashwaganda or Valerian(non-pharmaceuticals).

 

Solal also brings out a herbal remedy called Burn-out, it is not cheap but I have been taking it(although I don't have RLS, I do have adrenal fatigue) and i think it works wonders.

 

Edit: I stay away from Pharmaceuticals as much as I possibly can!

 

I am a scientist and label this post as dangerous

Edit: dangerously biased

Only dangerous if you follow his line of thinking... Solal are one of the best pseudp medical con artist setups around... it's his money, and he can do with it what he wants... expensive placebo's....

 

But if he lands up on my table, then I will just skip the dope - seeing as he has a conscientious objection.... and hypnotise him instead...

So what did the Missus have to say about Mr Potato Man?

I love threads like this. People will at some point mention someone who wrote a book with some credentials etc etc and that you should read it etc etc. If you want to make a scientific argument, post the peer reviewed scientific paper with the clinical trial, who it was funded by, what the placebo group's results were etc etc, otherwise I think it is all placebo- not saying that it won't work, but as has been said, a potato is a super cheap placebo compared to some of the other suggestions around.

I don't know to what you are referring to here, but as an fellow engineer by training, I find your comment, "otherwise I think it is all placebo" strange. Not knowing why something is working, you can't just the same make the argument and contribute it's success as being a placebo ? If you study the peer review process, you'll recognise, if you are not naive, that it's a highly biased process with studies setup to favour the sponsor's interests mostly, especially these days when most funding is scarce and 90 % of funded research comes from industry . Doctors, especially, have become puppets of the pharmaceutical industry and just recite what the agents of these companies tell them and have hardly the time to do their own individual, independent research.

That might be a brave statement... of course it is not - just badly misinformed.

 

Has about the same value and correctness as your solution to RLS....

Dear Topwino

Consider the following:

Everybody around you: Dum

Doctors: Bad

Somebody not experiencing side effects: Fool

You: A top researcher. Not good with grammar though.

Do you have a mirror?

If grammar and spelling mistakes in posts not checked for them are the only thing you can find wrong with my facts or reasoning, then yes, I plead guilty.

 

Do you have anything usefull to add besides not liking my attitude ?

You still have not submitted your CV.

Attitude? You have a bad attitude?

This might be of some use. Why you have not seen me arguing:

WRT peer review process- read all of my post- I mentioned a number of things that need to be included in any articles for them not just be an advert from a pharma company. There are books on how to make the process better, but regardless, if a new "cure" isn't even attempting to go down this route I am not interested.

WRT placebo effect- if the 'cure' had any proof of it working it would be published somewhere but with a lack thereof one has to ask the question why there is no proof.
