FMS/CFS

[Guest guest]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

from your 4.4 post in digest number 2632

" I am living in the same world with relatives. My SIL has chronic fatigue /

Fibro and I know

that iodine would help her based on the testimonies here. But she won't do it

because her

doctor says she is fine. Yet she cannot work and sleeps all day and is up all

night and pops

pain pills like crazy. "

I would like to suggest you give your SIL a book by Dr St Amand on FMS/CFS

titled

" What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia " . She may also be HG as

about

33% of fibromyalgics are also HG. St Amand's book is an eye opener for anyone

who has

fms/cfs or has family members with it and would like to learn what's wrong with

them and

how to get well.

Unfortunately your SIL situation is so common for people who do not have a

physician who

knows how to treat her correctly. Even sadder, there are very few doctors in

this country

who do.

FMS/CFS is cyclical and as may be observed with your SIL, it goes from bad to

worse over

time. She can get well however by following St Amand's protocol. When I first

heard of it I

thought it was a bunch of hocus-pocus but fortuitously I was given his book as a

present.

Which brings me to your

4.1 post in digest number 2634

" I got the book for my birthday. People who want to give me things - give me

books.

Steph "

I would like to give you a section of Dr St Amand's book that I had written to

you about a

month ago back list but never heard back from you. If you do not want me sending

it to

you, you can order it directly from:

http://www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com/books & vids.htm

When you wrote about your SIL that concerned me about your children as fms/cfs

is

hereditary and if your SIL is your husband's sister, then he has the genetic

predisposition

for it. If then, your children may have inherited it. Does your son or daughter

get " growing

pains " ?

Thanks for all your hard work. Hope you can give your SIL an early holiday gift

of " the "

book for her. The pain pills she pops can have terrible side effects and can

actually make

her sicker and do absolutely nothing to get rid of her fms/cfs symptoms.

If she's hypothyroid Iodine can help. A certain percentage of fibromyalgics are

hypo but off

hand I don't know the percentage. One learns from reading St Amand if you are

fms/cfs

you have an illness at the cellular level and practically nothing in one's body

works well.

Hence all of the many symptoms -- IBS, headaches, frequent bladder infections,

foot

problems, rashes, ear, nose and throat problems, carb intolerance and on and on.

Dr St Amand has treated over 10,000 patients SUCCESSFULLY with his guaifenesin

protocol.
