Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 CINDY & JO, GUAIFENESIN -- OK, THAT I DO KNOW ABOUT. IF I WASN'T SO BRAIN-FOGGED, IT WOULD HAVE DAWNED ON ME -- IT ALSO WOULD HAVE DAWNED ON ME TO GO TO THE POSTS AND SEE WHAT THE DIGEST MISSED. CARO IS RIGHT (AND I AM GLAD TO HEAR IT IS HELPING YOU, CARO), IT MUST BE TAKEN WITH THE STRICT DIET THAT GOES WITH IT -- NOTHING WITH SALICYLATES CAN BE IN YOUR DIET -- THIS INCLUDES ALL HERBS, AND SEVERAL FRUITS AND VEGIES. YOU MUST ALSO NOT WEAR OR USE ANYTHING WITH SALICYLATES IN (OFTEN THE HARDEST PART TO DO, AS MOST MAKE-UPS, HAND CREAMS, HAIR SPRAYS, SOAPS, ETC HAVE SALICYLATES IN), AS THIS IS ABSORBED BY THE BODY AND NEGATES THE GUAIFENESIN. THE LIST OF SALICYLATES, AS CARO MENTIONED, IS VERY LONG -- AND INCLUDES 'ALL' HERBS (INCLUDING ALOE, JOJOBA, EUCALYPTUS, EVENING PRIMROSE OIL, GINKGO BILOBA, ALL TEAS, ETC). JUST SOME OF THE FOODS INCLUDED ARE AVACODO, ASPARAGUS, BANANAS, BEANS, HONEY (BECAUSE OF THE BEE POLLEN), ALL BERRIES (INCLUDING STRAWBERRIES), COCOA (NO CHOCOLATE), COCONUT, CUCUMBERS, DATES, FIGS, GRAPEFRUITS, KIWIS, MELONS -- TO NAME SOME. THE REST OF THE DIET IS PRETTY MUCH LIKE A HYPOGLYCEMIC DIET. A GOOD BOOK ABOUT THE RESEARCH DONE ON THIS, AND THAT EXPLAINS THE CHANGE IN EATING HABITS, IS ** 'WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT FIBROMYALGIA' ** BY R. PAUL ST. ARMAND M.D. (THE DOCTOR WHO FIRST DISCOVERED THAT GUAIFENESIN HELPS SOME FM SUFFERERS), AND CLAUDIA CRAIG MAREK. (I AM SURE THIS IS ONE OF THE BOOKS CARO WAS REFERING TO) IT IS A WORTHWHILE READ EVEN IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO TAKE THE GUAIFENESIN AS IT EXPLAINS WHY WE SUFFER SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO, AND YOU CAN STILL INCORPORATE SOME OF IT AS THERE IS ALSO GREAT INFO ON BLADDER INFECTIONS, IBS, OSTEOARTHRITIS, SOME COPING-SKILL IDEAS, AND A GOOD HYPOGLYCEMIC DIET. THERE IS A SHORT BUT REALLY GOOD GLOSSARY THAT INCLUDES THINGS LIKE: ASPIRIN (HOW IT WORKS), LACTOSE (WHAT CAUSES INTOLORANCE), AND SYNDROME (WHAT IT MEANS). THE DIAGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK ARE SIMPLE AND EASY. AND THE 'TECHNICAL APPENDIX' EXPLAINS EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS, SO YOU CAN SHOW YOUR DR IN SCIENTIFIC TERMS JUST WHAT IT DOES. THEIR WEBSITE IS: http://www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com/ AND INCLUDES A MAP YOU CAN CLICK TO FIND A DR IN YOUR AREA WHO USES THE TREATMENT. IF YOU DO WANT TO READ THE BOOK, CHECK YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY BEFORE SPENDING THE $$$ CINDY, HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, AND SORRY MY BRAIN WAS TOASTED OATIES EARLIER. :-D {{{GENTLE HUGS}}} DONI-MARIE _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
