Or more specifically, I think leg cramping is one of 3 deficiencies --
calcium, magnesium, or potassium. I know that I have felt better
supplementing or eating foods high in these minerals.

Some have found that the plastic eyeglasses still have enough metal in
them to cause problems (there is usually a metal wire embedded in the
plastic, plus the hinges). I find that contact lenses or going without
glasses are the best options when on the computer or near intense sources
of EMF.

I've seen some claim that the green superfoods (spirulina, chlorella,
blue green algae) mostly just "stir up" the heavy metals, and don't
help much in getting them out of the body. So you may need to limit
your use of these or even discontinue them until your metal load
is diminished. Also, anything that mobilizes metals is probably
going to make your ES worse short-term. I know that my ES was
its absolute worst when I was taking lots of chlorella.
