It works for me at least.
I can always tell when I didn't get enough potassium or magnesium.
I have been fighting it for years at least since I was in my late 30's.
Restless leg syndrome and low blood potassium are very much the same.
They require testing and RLS is a neurological disorder the low potassium is easy to fix.
My doctor agreed with me if the bananas fixed it then that was good enough for him.
He is a good doctor one of the best.

Potassium Deficiency - Potassium deficiency occurs when an individual does not have enough of the nutrient potassium in their body. Symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle cramps, muscle fatigue, weakness, irritability, dry skin, irregular heartbeat, fatigue, depression, insomnia, nausea, low blood pressure, constipation, headaches, and thirst. Potassium deficiency and Restless Legs Syndrome share many of the same symptoms and can appear almost identical to medical professionals, however are not related. In order to ensure the proper diagnosis, both a blood test and a urine test may be performed to analyze the amount of potassium an individual has in their system and determine if they are deficient. If the tests return negative for deficiency, then a diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome should be entertained.

Back to your wire spirals I have yet to make any and I have no excuse for it.
