There are many, many remedies to various health and physical issues that modern medicine cannot explain, but that do in fact give on-going relief to problems and that the medical community recognizes and even sometimes suggests. The bar of soap for restless leg syndrome is one of them, used by many people with good effect, your disparaging and condescending comment aside.
I didn't think it was condescending. Soap seems a little far fetched to me too, and her advice to see a neurologist is a good one, in my opinion.

Everyone will do what they would do anyway, regardless.

Some of us are fans of alternative therapy and some are not.

The old medical adage "First, do no harm" is a good one I think.
