Do you have difficulty falling asleep because of an irresistible urge to move your legs? Do you experience an itchy or ticklish sensation deep in your limbs that cannot be relieved by scratching? Millions of people around the world suffer from restless legs syndrome, but according to the Healer Medium, the medical community still doesn't know the true causes of this condition. Because of this lack of understanding, solutions that address the root cause of the problem are often not offered.
This article looks at the most common causes of restless legs syndrome, as well as supportive foods, supplements, and practices that can help the body recover and restore deep, restful sleep.
Various causes of restless legs syndrome
The term restless legs syndrome does not describe a single condition. It can manifest itself in different ways and with varying degrees of intensity. Below are the main factors that Anthony William believes underlie this condition.
Herpes zoster
Some sufferers experience a deep, internal itching in the legs that cannot be relieved by scratching. The sensation is usually not superficial, but deep in the tissues.
According to the Medium Healer, this form is often caused by strains of the herpes zoster virus, including those that do not cause a rash. These strains can cause a variety of symptoms without being recognized by medical science.
In the book "The Medium Healer - Revised and Expanded Edition", Anthony William examines the different varieties of herpes zoster, and further down in this article you will find his suggested healing foods, herbs, and nutritional supplements that can be included in a treatment protocol.
You can also learn more detailed information about herpes zoster from the articles:

“Herpes zoster – the real cause of many diseases (part 2)”
Sciatica
Another possible cause is sciatica. The sciatic nerve can cause restless legs symptoms even when pain is not felt directly along its course. Watch the short video “[Video] Sciatic Nerve Inflammation” .
The reason may be:
- intervertebral disc problem,
- direct trauma,
- rash or non-rash strain of herpes zoster,
- the Epstein-Barr virus (you can learn more about the history of this virus from the article “Thyroid Diseases – How It All Begins” ).
According to Anthony William, viral activity can cause inflammation of the nerves in the lumbar spine, leading to compression of the discs. This explains the cases where a "slipped disc" is found without a clear mechanical cause.
When the cause is related to the sciatic nerve, it is recommended:
- cooling with ice in the evening,
- warming up in the morning,
- inclusion of antivirus plugins.
Inflammation of the intestines
Restless legs syndrome can also be triggered by digestive processes. Gas passing through the colon can irritate inflamed areas or small pockets in the lining (diverticulosis) caused by old infections such as E. coli or streptococci. You can learn more about these in the article “The Truth About Streptococci” .
Because the intestinal tract contains a huge amount of nerve endings and functions as a “second nervous system,” this irritation can cause sensations in the legs.
Another factor is low stomach acid and insufficient bile production. When food is not broken down properly, it can irritate the sensitive nerves in the intestines. In these cases , celery juice is considered particularly supportive.
Liver inflammation
The liver plays a key role in digestion through the production of bile. When overloaded with viruses, toxins, pesticides, herbicides, adrenaline, and other substances, it can become sluggish or overactive.
It's possible that a virus like Epstein-Barr is present in the liver and causing inflammation and scarring, which Anthony William says often goes undetected by standard tests.
The liver can:
- to overheat,
- to become sluggish,
- to go into spasms.
Sometimes this activity is behind nighttime awakenings or restless legs. You can learn more about these liver conditions in the article “Stagnant Liver” .
Even conditions such as pre-fatty liver steatosis, which cannot be diagnosed by conventional methods, can contribute to symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to eliminate problematic foods and implement one of the Healer Medium cleanses . You will find the most information from Anthony William about the liver in his book “Healer Medium: Help for the Liver” .
Heavy metal deposits
Heavy metals can disrupt nerve pathways in the brain and cause restless legs syndrome. The condition may also be linked to MSG (monosodium glutamate) deposits.
In these cases, a heavy metal detox protocol is recommended, including the Healer Medium's special heavy metal detox smoothie. To do this, read the following articles:
“Pests that make us sick – toxic heavy metals”
“[Video] How toxic heavy metals get into us and the problems they can cause”
“[Video] Toxic heavy metals corrode the brain”
“Cleansing of toxic heavy metals by the Healer Medium”
“Advanced Heavy Metal Detox Smoothies”
“Shot from exposure to toxic heavy metals”
Multiple factors
In most cases, there is not just one cause. Often, a combination of factors is observed – viruses, toxins, problems with the liver, intestines, and nervous system.
In rarer cases, the condition may be associated with:
- frozen joint,
- spine problems,
- abundance of calcifications.
Lack of information often leads to limited treatment options. Medications can sometimes temporarily relieve symptoms, but Anthony William recommends a careful and informed approach.
Supporting foods and nutritional supplements
The supplements and foods that are right for each person depend largely on the factors contributing to restless legs syndrome.
For heavy metals:
- coriander
- heavy metal detox smoothie
Steamed potatoes are considered a miracle food for restless legs, thanks to their lysine content and antiviral properties.
Additionally, the following may be useful:
- Mango before bed – you will learn more about it in the article “Mango – The “King of Fruits” .
- Celery juice – you will learn more about it in the article “Celery Juice” .
- Wild blueberries – you will learn more about them from the article “Wild blueberries – the most powerful food in the world” .
- L-glutamine
- GABA ,
- Melatonin – you will learn more about it in the article “[Video] Melatonin: more than just a sleep aid”
- Bacopa ,
- Licorice root – you will learn more about it from the article “Licorice root – a powerful weapon against pathogens” .
- Vitamin B12 (a combination of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin) – you will learn more about it in the article “Medical Benefits of Vitamin B12” .
- chaga mushroom extract – you will learn more about it in the article “Medicinal benefits of the chaga mushroom.”
Hydration is extremely important. Daily consumption of lemon water helps cleanse the liver. See the recipe “Lemon Water” .
Walking also helps.
Regular walking can significantly relieve symptoms. Even a short, gentle walk helps the nervous system and calms the mind.
Mindful walks – observing the sights, sounds, and smells – can be particularly helpful, especially in cases involving heavy metals.
How to move forward
Restless legs syndrome is not a life sentence. With the right knowledge and consistent action, relief is possible.
Anthony William recommends:
- warm compresses in the morning,
- cold compresses in the evening,
- inclusion of supportive foods and nutritional supplements,
- maintaining consistency.
There is a real cause behind the symptoms. When this is understood and addressed, the path to healing becomes possible.
