One of the biggest problems with conventional medicinal substances is an initial feeling of improvement, but later the condition aggravates. For example in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS), the symptom is alleviated by medications and the severity of it subsides primarily but after a short time it returns earlier in the night and even worse than before, i.e. augmentation. The reason is that the valuable symptom has been suppressed, without considering the basic disorder and evoking causes of the symptom. So the secondary reaction is experienced even worse than before. However if a holistic approach is applied to cure the main background causes, and patients’ mental, nutritional and psychiatric conditions and symptoms, which are usually observed in such patients with RLS, are taken into consideration then the secondary reaction will be curative instead of augmenting. So the chronic patients should be considered as a whole. Treating just the disease or symptoms, without considering mental, psychiatric and nutritional deficiencies, the valuable and alarming symptoms are suppressed and the patients’ conditions are aggravated.
