5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had this book 20 years ago!, December 29, 1999
By Donna McGowan (Lomita, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia : The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse The Disease (Paperback)
This book is a must have for people suffering from FMS. It is the only book on the market today that offers a step by step treatment for reversing Fibromyalgia. It also offers information about the disease itself and the cluster of symptoms that come along with it such as: fatigue, IBS, skin irritations, vulvodynia, hypoglycemia, ect... This book will help you understand your body and how fibromyalgia affects it. It will also provide solutions for coping and controlling your symptoms until the guaifenesin makes them go away. I can truly say that Dr. St. Amand's protocol has not only changed my life, but it has saved my life. Ten short months ago (Feb. 1999) I was in the hospital fighting for my life from an overdose of pain medications & antidepressants given to me by a rheumatoligst, who claimed that these medications were the only way to deal with fibromyalgia. Today I have been on Dr. St. Amands treatment for 11 months and 8 days. I no longer need or take any pain medication and my family doctor is now weaning me off of prozac. I am happy and have the will to live again. Please do yourself a favor, read this book, and start the protocol. It's not easy but it works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Take Your Health In Your Own Hands, December 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia : The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse The Disease (Paperback)
After having tried for ten years to regain my vigorous health, this book, recommended to me by my hairdresser who learned of it from clients, has truly changed my life. I had been to countless doctors, naturopaths, accupuncturists, and chiropractors, but my prayers were answered when I read this book. I consider myslf well-read on Fibromyalgia. Dr St Armand's explanation of the condition and his theory for reversing the disease struck me as honest and workable. I called my Naturopath, and we both dove into the cure. Four months later, I feel I have reversed the disease to the stage it was seven years ago. I no longer am fatigued, 75% of my pain is gone, and many other minor symptoms have disappeared. I have gone back to school to study to be a landscape designer, and aced all my classes the first term. (yes, the fibro-fog is gone!). The best part of reading this book is the courage it gives you to finally rejoin the world of active human beings by taking control of your own health care.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fibromyalgia Nightmare is Finally Over, May 11, 2000
This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia : The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse The Disease (Paperback)
For the last ten years I have become increasingly ill with a series of seemingly unrelated complaints: disabling fatigue, allergies, chemical sensitivities, severe muscle pain, headaches, depression, itchy skin,etc. I have shuffled from one diagnosis to another with no relief in sight. I found this book and realized finally, I WAS NOT ALONE! These are symptoms we all share as people who suffer from a very real and debilitating disease called fibromyalgia. This book is the first I've read that offers a protocol that has been successful for many people. I found a Dr. and started the protocol one week after reading it and have already reaped some of the benefits promised. This treatment is not,as Dr. St. Armand says "for the faint of heart", but there is a support group of people just like you who have started on the road to wellness and will help you on your journey also. We share ideas and focus on getting well. Many of us have. I promise you this book will not disappoint you and reading it will give you an immediate benefit: HOPE.
