Hi,
Personally, I don't think quinine/tonic water for cramps is a good idea. It has been linked to thrombocytopenia, which means problems with platelets. Personally, I have low platelets anyway, and I don't need to make it worse! I have noticed that if I exercise, stay hydrated, and use my juicer (veggies and fruits apparently keep my mineral balance where it should be), I don't cramp much. I seem to be chronically dehydrated, so I drink half a glass of water right before I go to bed, and I haven't woken up with cramps since. I've also trained myself to do some bio-feedback- I can pretty much stop a cramp if I feel it coming on. Don't ask me how I do it, though, I don't know!
