Ever since I was a kid, I've had occasional calf muscle cramps at night.
For the first few years, I just endured the agony.  Then I stumbled onto
a simple cure, which will stop a calf muscle cramp instantly.

Do the unthinkable.  Stand up.  No, it won't hurt more.  The cramp will
go away the instant you put your weight on that leg.

(and, it's *natural* :-)
