Potassium

I wrote in a couple of weeks ago about baking soda and lime causing an eye twitch. Well this email is about how I finally cured it. My eye twitch went on for 10 days! INSANE!! Never had that happen before!!

I tried many of the remedies found here on EC: acupressure, magnesium, mag oil, bananas, and even electrolytes. The electrolytes helped slightly but then the twitch came back a couple of hours later. This weekend, after my eye was getting progressively more swollen from twitching, I decided to go and buy potassium supplements instead of just eating bananas. I ended up with potassium caplets instead of capsules as the big box store that was open didn't have capsules. (I don't think caplets are absorbed as well and will buy capsules in the future). I took one pill and my eye twitch stopped an hour later after 10 relentless days!!!

The twitch came back about 12 hours later, though less intensely than before, so I promptly took another potassium. I have repeated the dosage for two days now and the twitch is completely gone.

Another side effect from the alkalizing tonic that I didn't mention in my last post because it started a couple days after that, was that I also got nerve sensitivity to cold in my gum line. Very uncomfortable to drink. Guess what, the potassium cured that too!!!

Folks, do watch out when you do these alkalizing and detoxing remedies. They can pull vital nutrients from your body, leaving you with side effects that may take you down the rabbit hole trying to figure out!!!

Tonic Water worked instantly for me. I have had eye twitches on my right eye for about two weeks and they seemed to be getting stronger. My ophthalmologist told me to drink 1oz. of Tonic water daily. He said it could take up to seven days to work. It worked instantly the same night. I actually took 2 oz. the first night. Today is day 3 and I have taken 1 oz. of tonic water daily(except for the 1st day when I drank 2oz.) and I have had no eye twitches since day one.

My eye had literally been twitching for about 4 months, very strongly and was causing me anxiety. I drank about 8 oz of tonic water, and it reduced the twitching about 75% in the intensity and the amount of times it was twitching initially, and the over the next couple of days it completely stopped. I haven't experienced anymore twitching since the 8 oz....yay! This works...

I came to this site desperately trying to cure my twitching eye that had gone on for almost a month. The twitching was constant and I was feeling horrible. I was looking at the mirror a thousand times a day hoping it would have stopped. I tried taking tonic water and other remedies without success.. I then decided to start taking magnesium and calcium tablets....pap, it's gone, within two days of administering the multivitamins. Am so happy and thankful to God for using all the good people in this site. I will keep my diet on good check and never again take health for granted. Thanks to all you who share the knowledge.

Water

My sister-in-law suggested plain water for the twitching of my eyes. Apparently it comes from dehydration. Two days later (after a regimen of a liter a day), my twitching stopped, not to have returned. My last episode of eye twitches was five years ago.
