leg cramps

[Guest guest]

I am curious how do you use soap for the leg cramps??? Do you rub the soap

all over the area that is cramping??? I totally cannot imagine how that

could help. I cannot imagine the quinine either. I had years of leg cramps,

way

back 40 yrs ago. the absolute only thing I know to work is Potassium, and

add to that, magnesium, and one other thing, low sodium diet also at least

3 quarts of water, and not tap water because it has sodium in it. One Dr.

here in Santa Rosa asked me if I eat cold cereal, and I said mostly Cheerios if

I do and she said, do not eat it it is loaded with Sodium. I did not like

what she said and how she said it, because she was just looking for something

I was doing wrong. I will say that most food in the pkg. has sodium in it

and in large numbers. As for Bananas, I remember back when I asked Dr. Rukes

if I could just eat bananas and ge the Potassium instead of taking the pills.

He replied that I would have to eat 20 lbs of bananas to get that much

potassium . If you watch the sodium no chitos, no peanuts, no salt on nuts of

any kind. no potato chips, look on the boxes just like a diabetic looks for

carbs or sug. If anyone thinks I am wrong, I would like to know your way. I

would almost guarantee what I have said, as I lived it so did my husband. we

both had the sodium problem, which was really also a lack of potassium. Of

course that also was 40 yrs ago, and maybe new things are known. I changed my

life I guess I could say and it was a natural way, to watch for sodium. I

almost think that a lot of things could be managed with food. If Codex is able

to get control of our supplements and vitamins, we will have to use

manipulating food as a way to stay well, unless we would like to be pumped full

of crap

from a pill. I will pass this on, something I read about Blood Pressure.

Make celery juice, the article I read said to make it with a juicer, but I do

not have one, so I sliced it very narrow, like say 4 stalks and used a

blender. I have to believe that if a person is having leg cramps they either

have other problems or they will eventually know what they are. Myself I

think it is a serious situation, I would like to know what a dr. thinks and

knows, but for me I do not want pills I would like to make adjustments to my

eating if possible. Here is something to look at. sharon
