Cures for the common eye twitch

And before you fall off your chair laughing, let me tell you: an eye twitch is no minor thing. Try and research it online and you get nowhere. I've tried.

For the last month or so, my right eyelid has been twitching like mad. Not so much that anyone else would think I was winking at them, but pretty annoying all the same. So I searched Google and found other people have the same problem and they all get told by their doctors "It's just stress!" Get some sleep, drink more water, avoid caffeine, etc.

Here, by the way, is what works:
Any twitching muscle in your body, according to James McAfee in Your Body's Sign Language is a sign of a deficiency in the trace elements (Potassium, Magnesium) as well as a deficiency in Vitamins B6 and B12. Doctors are well to tell us to drink more water because if you drink alcohol regularly, it drains the body of water and vitamins. Try going off the wine for a few days and at the very least take a multivitamin. If you already do, take some extra B6 and B12.

It took 24 hours for my eye twitch to slow and in 48 hours I had forgotten about it.
