Why do muscles cramp

Muscle cramping is affecting many people for a variety of reasons. I was asked to shed some light on this topic so here we go. I am on kind of working vacation and do not have much time so I will be short.
Before we talk about cramping we have to know what causes muscles to flex.
Here is what we are told by our soyence


“Muscle contractions are initiated by signals from the nervous system, which generate an action potential that travels through motor neurons to the neuromuscular junction, a site where the motor neuron transmits a signal to a muscle fiber to initiate contraction.
When the action potential reaches the end of the axon terminal, it releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into the synaptic cleft, which diffuses across and binds to receptors on the muscle fiber membrane.
This binding causes sodium ions to enter the muscle fiber, leading to depolarization of the sarcolemma and triggering the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Calcium ions play a crucial role in muscle contraction by binding to troponin, a protein that, along with tropomyosin, regulates the interaction between actin and myosin filaments.
Calcium binding to troponin causes tropomyosin to shift, exposing the myosin-binding sites on actin.
Once the sites are exposed, myosin heads can bind to actin, forming cross-bridges and initiating the sliding filament mechanism.
The myosin heads then pull the actin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere, shortening it and causing the muscle fiber to contract.”

If this explanation gave you a headache, don’t worry, the same happens to the students of madsin. No wonder doctors are confused and cannot solve cramping problems without dragging the body.

Here, I will simplify it using physics.
When you touch the muscle with an electric field, the muscles constrict. Since muscles are supplied with electricity through blood, it only takes an activating contact which is done by the brain acting as a “solenoid” switch. So, the brain initiates the contraction impulse connecting the muscle to the electric flow from the blood.
Since toxins serve as electric resistors, the more toxic the blood, the more sluggish the electric flow. The more sluggish the electric flow, the more tired and weak we feel.
The brain does not provide the electricity to move the muscle, just switches it on. The electric power comes from the blood and the electric potential of the muscle.
Muscles are programmed the same as the rest of the body to be the most efficient and not waste energy so if we live sedentary lives, the muscle’s electric potential will be low, with just enough potential to perform flawlessly but not much more. If one day for some reason we do more work, the muscle will run out of electric potential and be forced to rapidly make fast electricity in not an efficient way destroying part of the muscle, and for the next three days, we will be in pain as the muscle rebuilds itself.
If we gradually increase the usage of the muscle, the electromagnetic potential of the muscle will increase and we will be able to do more demanding things. The increased electromagnetic potential is possible through activation of more mitochondria and that is the reason why it cannot be done instantly.

Dehydrated muscle cells become more toxic and electricity does not flow well. When the blood is toxic, electricity has resistance, and not enough of it is supplied. There is an interruption in the electric flow and muscles become sluggish and can remain constricted resulting in cramps.
Since a carbon buildup is one of the common causes of electric resistance, oxygenation often helps resolve cramping issues. Carbon will bond to oxygen and be expelled out of the body in the form of CO2. This is the most common reason for cramps affecting football players, exhaustion and carbon buildup in the muscle cells.

Taking a deep breath

In times of high blood toxicity, the energy flow will also be interrupted. People on the SHP will sometimes have cramping issues during the night.
The cellular hydration and detox is much stronger during the night so more toxins are released from cells making the blood toxic. Since we use leg muscles more than any other muscle in the body, when the blood is toxic, more toxins end up being stored there and more damages occur. So, during the cellular detox, as the blood toxicity increases, the leg muscles will often be exposed to the highest levels of toxicity causing an interruption of electric flow resulting in cramping.
Also, a lot of sodium is used on the cellular level to produce potassium and trigger the cellular osmotic pump. There can be a shortage of sodium in the affected muscle causing electric disturbance. By placing salt in the mouth, this will be corrected and the muscle cramp will go away.

We can discuss this issue some other day when I am not traveling and have more time to collaborate.
Love and light to us all.
