cfolster Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Two local scientists/kayakers have figured out that muscle cramps are caused by over-firing neurons and they're developing a product to treat. https://player.vimeo.com/video/134738687 It's also an interesting scenario - clearly they made it back to shore, but I would love to know if they did something special to paddle back with the cramps.

Katherine Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I understand an immediate dose of tonic water can be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverseyourself Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Very promising start of the video: Brilliant guys who are kayakers in New England...a perfect recipe for greatness :-). But in the end.....just a well done commercial to hype us crampers up :-((. I'll stick with a glass of tonic (w or w/o gin) and magnesium pills. I can get that for a couple of bucks. I'll be curious to see how much they charge for their product...Nobel prize be damned! Andy (= Cramper in Chief) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHuth Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Tonic water = quinine? It would be interesting to share ideas - I really don't want to pay huge money for some expensive product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverseyourself Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 A glass of Schweppes (no vested interest here) tonic water has enough quinine to help with nocturnal cramps - not in everyone and in every condition but in many enough. Unfortunately, it's no longer enough as malaria prophylaxis, but it used to be many (mosquito-) generations ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
