Every brand of tonic water I've ever bought, and I've bought lots,
says "CONTAINS QUININE" in bold font conspicuosly printed on the
label.

The ingredients for Canada Dry ginger ale are carbonated water, high
fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavors, sodium benzoate,
caramel color. If I had ginger in my ginger ale, I would use the word
"ginger".

Ingredients vary country to country. Most anywhere outside the US
won't be using high fructose corn syrup, for example.

The label says "Made from Real Ginger" Could not say it if it was not
true.

They advertise that it contains it. So does Vernors and also Hansen's. I
dislike both of those. Too strong for my tastes. I don't know which ginger
ale doesn't contain real ginger but someone has been putting that notion out
for years.

I've read that, and I can tend to get dehydrated easily, probably from
all of the medication, but when I get the usual leg, foot or hand
cramps, I drink a lot of water to try to calm the muscles down but it
really doesn't help. Same with the back muscle spasms, which are the
same as muscle cramps. For the back, stretching can help a little.

Just take a hunk of ginger root with you. Then you won't have any
problems.

Very painful Have you tried Quinine Sulphate? I wonder if the problems
do stem from surgery in our case because water doesn't help me either. I
also have had a lot of surgeries and Quinine is the only thing that works
for me.

Sneezing cures muscle cramps, so does a good orgasm.
