Guaifenesin and Hypoglycemia questions

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody

I just have a couple of thoughts/questions that I've come across in some

reading...

Have any of you ever heard of or tried Guaifenesin treatment? I just got

done reading a book called " What your doctor may NOT tell you about

fibromyalgia " by Dr. St Amand and his theory is that fibromyalgia is a result

of not enough energy being produced due to a phosphate retention which in

turn leads to excess calcium being stored in our cells (the lumps and bumps

of fm). His 'cure' is guaifenesin which somehow clears the cells of the

phosphates which in turn gives the body more energy to get rid of the calcium

deposits and then on to 'normal' functioning ... more energy, no pain. This

sounded interesting but I'd never heard of it before and was just curious if

any of you have any info or experience with it???

Also in the book he talks a bit about fm and hypoglycemia and fibroglycemia

(both disorders combined) and was wondering if any of you have been diagnosed

with both and what you do for it??? According to this book almost half of fm

women also have hypoglycemia.

Just wondering...

I am on it, and it works. You have to be careful of your exposure of

Salycilates or it will block the guau such as the aloe in the blue stuff!.

go to http://www.guaidoc.com. All the info is there. Good luck.

Jen:

I don't know about the Hypoglycemia connection with

Guaifenesin but I have been on the Gua since January

due to a horrible sinus infection and have found that

it has increased my blood sugar levels by about 20

points. I am diabetic though.

After the sinus infection cleared up the doctors

decided to keep me on the Gua as it has helped with my

asthma in reducing my congestion. Over the past 4

months I feel my pain levels have decreased a bit too.

I don't know if it is because of the Gua or not but I

will take whatever I can get! LOL

Hope this makes sense and helps a bit.
