Hello,

Ihave just about completed an experiment:
On occasion I would get cramps in one or both of my lower legs or
feet, while trying to sleep at night. I gave it a lot of thought and
decided to blame it on fish. Then I went off of all fish for a long
time. No cramps. About a week ago I purchased a box of frozen fish;
took it home and ate some fish - a lot of it; that night I had the
good old cramps, and they were severe. Last night I cooked up a batch
of the same fish, which had remained frozen in my frig. freezer. I ate
a normal amount, and last night I had the cramps in one leg.- it was
slight.

The experiment isnot finalized, and iwill continue this experiment,
however here are a few examples of my very, early findings:
Some types of fish donot cause the cramps or they do, but not all
batches nor all times of the year. Allowing the fish to sit in the
freezer, before eating, or thawing and refreezing allows the poisons/
whatever to weaken. The amount of the contaminated fish eaten affects
the severity of the cramps.

I donot know if Iam dealing with a manmade contaminate, or this is a
natural sea contaminate, or is something coming from the guts of the
fish upon its violent or slow death.

Please join me in this experiment and keep posted here at USENET.

Thank you.

Truth will set you free, according to Jesus in John 8:32

I've found, over the years, that drinking milk eliminates any
temporary problem I might have with leg cramps.

"Low levels of certain minerals known as electrolytes—magnesium,
potassium, calcium and sodium—have long been linked to leg cramps.
(Marathon runners sweating out the miles are particularly prone to
this variety.) Certain drugs, such as diuretics have also been cited
as a cause of leg cramps. Dialysis patients often complain of leg
cramps, and pregnancy is also a factor.

To prevent cramping consider the regular use of supplements,
especially calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium (only if your
sodium intake is low or if you sweat a lot). Stretching your calves
regularly during the day and at night will help. You can often prevent
night cramps by exhausting the stretch reflex before you go to bed by
stretching your calf muscles with wall pushups and applying a heating
pad for 10 minutes before going to bed. Keeping blankets loose at the
foot of the bed will help prevent unnatural positioning of your feet
and toes which can cause night time cramping."

I almost NEVER eat fish, but I get night time leg cramps fairly
frequently.

I have found that eating a banana every day (good source of potassium)
and drinking more water throughout the day has helped me a lot.

That's probably a good idea. I think I'll add eating some bananas to
my old system of drinking some milk the next time I get leg cramps.




For what it's worth, a year or so ago, a doctor who has a column in my local
newspaper ran a letter from someone who said putting an unwrapped bar of
soap under the bottom sheet of the bed helps prevent leg cramps. After he
printed that, he had over 100 letters from people saying it worked for them.
He said he has no idea why it should work, but since it does work for so
many people, he isn't going to argue with it. Not long after that, a friend
mentioned that she has a problem with leg cramps at night. I told her about
it and she tried it. She said it worked for her too.

Maybe its not hte *soap* as such, but a lump at the bottom of hte bed that
stops the legs getting into an awkward position.

You could try this little experiment, if you really want some scientific
verification to prove or disprove your theory of fish causing your leg
cramps.

Buy a Puffer Fish. Throw the fish in a pot and simmer it. Then drink the
broth.

Let us know the results.
