By any stretch of my imagination, this one makes NO sense to me! Except as a hypnotherapist, I can see it being what we call 'waking hypnosis', or power of suggestion.
Can hardly wait to read any further comments on the reasons this seems to work! :?

This is one of those ideas that is so flaky that it's hard to imagine anyone would have ever come up with it without some reasonable theory, but stranger things have happened.

Snopes has not been able to debunk it, and I believe they probably tried pretty hard.

my husband is a double transplant recipient (kidney and pancreas from 9/18/1990) and the Dr. told him to eat a banana every morning for breakfast and he does and no more leg cramps
