How to stop cramps?

Just try magnesium. calcium causes things to contract and magnesium causes them to relax.

Quit eating cashews

concentrate on the cramps
and breath in and out slowly, or
midol.

The best thing I have found is Bananas.

Eat one a day... if one doesnt help... eat two.

I play guitar (metal) and dig a lot of ditches... and type on keyboards a lot and do a LOT of work with my hands.

If I dont eat Bananas they kill me!

I used to work cutting pizzas for a living... did it for 3 years... and as silly as it sounds... a Large Pan pizza from Pizza hut heights 20 pounds... imagine pulling 200 out of a oven in an hour (one handed) and cutting it as fast as you can. 6 days a week 8 hour shifts... It takes a toll after a while.

Also my legs... used to get god awful charlie horses... bananas best damned vegetable out there! It helps me :)


yeah yeah I know Bananas arent a vegetable

magnesium not calcium also potassium unless it is caused by an infection...

My advice is for muscle cramps from over working them...

For the female cramps...

When I have cramps, I usually go and have a shit

Liquid cal/mag is good.

I find a couple of shots of whiskey help.

Yup. Potassium does help. Potatoes are high in potassium as well.

Try jumping jacks

Yes! Potatoes are an awesome fruit thats high in Potassium!


(sorry im punch drunk)

and cut out caffeine for a while...makes cramps more intense

if you have access to a PEMF machine, use that, stops cramps within about 15 minutes

What kind of cramps? I'd try magnesium without the calcium because chances are you are lower on that for muscle cramps. Maybe some potassium (banana).

If female cramps, I've heard good things about taking a spoonful of organic molasses every day. It takes a few weeks to kick in but can make a big difference.

2 - 3 cups dandelion tea every day two weeks prior.

Vitamin B complex (50 mg.), especially be sure it is high in B6

A regular regimin of pure aloe vera gel (1 Tsp. per day) will also help over time.

Rest as much as you can, with mild walking.

Potassium in other words?
I had a friend that was on death watch at the hospital because of Potassium deficiency.

Potassium becomes a problem for the elderly, and if you sweat terribly or have to flush your system with a lot of water for some reason or another. It basically has to do with too much water and not enough Potassium.

Salt tablets

I meant this ^^^ for menstrual cramps.

My mother has bad cramps in her feet and calves. She is taking quinine which helps but doesnt keep all cramps away.

kingman art had me get magnesium and potassium and i havent had one since.

Have friend insert hand up the vag canal. Rip out reproductive organs. Warning... this can get messy.

My ex had terrible cramps every month. She had to have a total hysterectomy evenyually.

I'm really sorry but I know of nothing that helps other than girls who exercise a lot don't get periods anymore.

Magnesium Oil... rub on lower abdomen. Works instantly.

i used to get a lot - not so much now that i am on depo shots. none at all now. now lets just hope the shots dont do any permanent damage!!!

Again...quit eating cashews.

This product will do it in less than 5 minutes I have found.

Why do you say that?

In the middle east they believe eating cashews helps cramps.

Cashews are poisonous. Do you know why you never see a cashew shell? You should see what they use them for...

If I get a cramp in my foot...I just let it take over for a minute or two...then it goes away. It not a method for pussies. But it works great.
