In this book Dr. R. Paul St. Amand offers the first effective protocol to help reverse the autoimmune disorder, Fibromyalgia, in children. The authors have adapted the programme in their first book, an alternative treatment using guaifenesin, a common ingredient in cough medicine, to treat children successfully. This inexpensive medication, available over the counter as well as in prescription strengths, has successfully eliminated symptoms in an astonishing 90% of his patients. In this landmark book parents can discover: * Why pediatric fibromyalgia is often not diagnosed * How to help children cope with symptoms before guaifenesin takes full effect * The link between pediatric fibromyalgia and hypoglycemia * Guidelines to determine the proper dose of guaifenesin for your child Inspired by his own Fibromyalgia to find a treatment, Dr. St. Amand spent 40 years researching his revolutionary program, which treats the causes of the condition and not just the symptoms.

Summary: This book saved my life!
Comment: In-depth exploration of the cause and treatment of fibromyalgia as clearly explained for the layman as for the physician. This book provides HOPE for a CURE, not just symptomatic relief!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Just as good as Placebo
Comment: Amand claims that Guaifenesin can reverse Fibromyalgia, and cites a study by Robert Bennett, M.D. to "prove" his point. In fact, no Peer Reviewed Medical Journal has yet to publish that study and Dr. Bennett concluded at the end of the study that:
Guaifenesin does NOT increase either phosphate or uric acid excretions.
Study Participants were not taking salicylates over the course of the study.
Blood and Urine tests showed that Phosphate and Uric acid levels did NOT change.
Amand claims that Guaifenesin may not work if there is excess Phosphate in the body, and that you should avoid salicylates. There is absolutely no scientific data that proves that excess phosphate can cause Fibromyalgia.
Guaifenesin acts as mild muscle relaxer, although it can cause muscle paralysis.
Of course some people are going to experience relief if that's what they're expecting, especially when they're told that it's a "cure."
Don't waste your money on salicylate-free makeup as Dr. Bennett found that you would have to apply a large volume of makeup several times a day in order to absorb enough salicylates to effect uric acid levels.

Summary: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia
Comment: This book is written by a male physician that was stricken down with fibromyalgia and has devoted his life to find a cure. His three daughters also inherited this disease. He claims he has found a cure (you need to read the book and/or possibly visit this doctor). And since there was such a stigma attached to fibromyalgia diagnosis a lot of useful information and help was swept under the rug by our physicians for many years. My mother is now deceased, but she went to many doctors for years complaining of this ailment searching for help. My mother was told that she was crazy and was sent home with pain medications and to suffer in silence! Now ALL of her four children have Fibro as well. I feel so bad that so many people (including my mother) are suffering needlessly because the male researchers of the past have left the fibro suffers down. It's a disgrace to anyone with connective tissue disease. People with fibro need to read this book! We're told that fibro is a "syndrome" because the medical industry just doesn't know what causes it. Which I find utterly offensive because when you live with this disease of severe pain over your entire body we certainly don't think or feel it's a snydrome!! The majority of fibro victims are females. If more males had this disease then the medical field would already know what causes it and there would be a definite cure! Just stating a fact. Come on doctors and researches!! I am sorry if I sound angry but the truth is I am very angry. And so should everyone else who has connective tissue disease aka fibromyalgia. You need to reach out to your doctors, nurses, researchers, and politicians to get something done to help! When you read this book you will see yourself and your siblings who also suffer. All the fragmented ailments start to come together and make sense. A must for your fibro library!

Summary: Fibromyalgia book
Comment: I have just recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and wanted to do some research on the matter. A friend loaned me her copy but my puppy ate it. I had to not only replace my friends book but I also ordered my own copy. Amazon is usually always timely with their shipments and this order proves it! The books were high quality at a lower price and I received them on time. Thanks Amazon!!!
