5.0 out of 5 stars A Priceless handbook of Information, January 11, 2004

This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia Fatigue: The Powerful Program That Helps You Boost Your Energy and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)

I have the other book by this caring and knowledgeable team of experts, but this one is worth the price just for the HG recipes in it. All the new additions to the Guaifenesin protocol to reverse fibromyalgia and give the patient back his or her life are contained in the pages of this book.

If you feel desperately sick and tired of being sick and tired do your self a big favor and order this book. You will have hope for the first time in your life with Fibromyalgia fatigue pain and depression. When you begin to put it's suggestions into action your hope will become reality. There is real, painfree life after the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Read this book and find out how to have this life for yourself. I did and I no longer use a cane to walk or the electric carts to be sure I can get back to the front door of a large store. I sleep normally, and am much more free of pain than just 8 months ago when I first read the preceeding book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book with which to create a new and pain free life, January 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia Fatigue: The Powerful Program That Helps You Boost Your Energy and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)

Reading the book was like looking in a mirror, and having a lifetime of strange and seemingly unrelated symptoms suddenly make sense! I'm really jaded when it comes to doctors and being diagnosed, but this book, and an appointment with Dr. St. Armand and his nurse and co-author Claudia Marek renews my faith in at least two people in the medical profession.
The Guaifenisin protocol is no fly-by-night theory. Dr. St. Armand has tested his theory on thousands of patients over a thirty year career with a high success rate. His protocol for reversing the disease uses a drug without side effects, attention to diet and avoidance of salicylicates. Both he and his co-author have FMS and they are symptom free and have reversed the disease.
Dr. St. Armand, over seventy, moves with the ease and grace of a young man.
Both he and Claudia walk their talk. They listen and learn from their patients.
Read the book and see.......the knowledge, the caring and the compassion for FMS people is plainly written and easy to read and understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS!, November 15, 2003

This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia Fatigue: The Powerful Program That Helps You Boost Your Energy and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)

If it hadn't been for Dr. St. Amand's protocol, I would have been bedridden for the rest of my life or perhaps dead at this point. I went to all sorts of physicians and spent all kinds of money trying to find someone to help me or to even put together what was wrong with me in the late 1980s, early-mid 1990s. I was bedridden and in terrible pain for over 8 months before getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment, after 2 months of beginning treatment, I was able to leave my bed.

I honestly can not imagine any physician NOT offering this lifesaving and low-cost treatment, because IT WORKS when nothing else works [if you stay away from salicylates and stay away from calcium hydroxyapatite (do use calcium citrate instead)].

Part of the health crisis and inefficiency in America is physicians who do not know how to diagnose ot treat FMS in children and adults. If your physician is not interested in learning about this treatment, well, then, it is time to get a physician who cares about YOUR health and well-being - what a physician is SUPPOSED to do instead of serving their pocketbook or ego. Best wishes to you as you regain your health and educate your physician (because they probably were not PROPERLY educated in med school about FMS and its treatment).
