Maybe it’s placebo, then. Whatever it is I’ve noticed a clear connection between cutting coke and cramps coming back.

Of course my experiment wasn’t super rigorous and double blind so it could be completely wrong. It’s hard to know. But when it comes to body stuff I find it’s usually best not to overthink. If something works for you, keep doing it. Every once in a while try removing stuff you do to see if there’s an effect.
