Default Maybe....

But first, think long and hard about the botox. Among my own misgivings:
It is one of the deadliest toxins known;
It is a high profit procedure so you need to keep that in mind;
It produces permanent damage but only temporary relief;
It supposedly has the ability to "wander" into areas where it is not wanted similar to the way that silicon breast enlargement did;

As for the question, "Is there anything else?", the admittedly frustrating answer is that, based on my own experience over the last two months, yes there is but unfortunately I can't say just what it is due to my poor lab standards and the fact that I only have one rat. If that ten dollar grant comes through from "Pets R Us" I will be able to double my testing capacity...

But seriously, I have seen a reduction of early morning dystonia, cramping, curly toes, etc over the last two months during a period of wide scale rearrangement of my supplements and such. The best that I can do is to list the changes that I have made and leave it to you. In approximate order I have added magnesium (my own guess), potassium, B-complex - note that these are all water soluble and are quickly lost. They are also critically important to the function of muscles and nerves. I also continue to use ginger and turmeric at the same levels as before and am adding in Vit B12 and D3 but am doing so slowly. I have also eliminated a beta blocker but it is also a recent change.

I remain convinced that the entire realm of basic electrolytic chemistry is neglected to a shameful extent but it is best approached with caution due to the interwoven nature of it all. Nothing exists in isolation.
