The California Central Coast Fibromyalgia Support Group would like to provide support to individuals and families living with Fibromyalgia/ME/CFS.

In addition to this website, we have monthly meetings at various locations around the Central Coast. Please check the calendar for details of upcoming events.

The local support group and website are to help if:

  • You are trying to find out why you suffer.
  • You are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
  • You are looking for ways to treat Fibromyalgia.
  • You are currently following the Guaifenesin Protocol.

Many thanks to Christine Mitchell Mann of FibroBuddies.net for allowing us to use some of her content below.

In addition to the information provided herein about the Guaifenesin Protocol you may want to reference Dr. St. Amand’s book, What Your Doctor May not Tell You About Fibromyalgia (fourth edition), which explains the protocol he has researched and used to treat more than 10,000 patients in his practice.  We recommend you purchase a copy or look for one at your local library.  You may purchase from his website, http://www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com/books-and-dvds.html, or your favorite book store or favorite website.

 

What is Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a very REAL disease. The symptoms are so numerous, we could fill this entire page with them. If you have Fibromyalgia, you are not alone! We are here to help any way that we can.

Our group is intended for those interested in the Guaifenesin Protocol created by Dr. St. Amand and who live in and around the central coast of California. However, we will endeavor to help anyone with Fibromyalgia anywhere around the world.

What is Fibromyalgia?
Most of what I know about fibromyalgia is from what I’ve lived through since I was a little girl and didn’t understand why everyone else had so much more fun playing than I did. All I wanted to do was sit. All the time. THEN a few years ago I found a book that filled in all the blanks and showed me WHY I felt that way all my life and that there was something I could do to reverse it! The Guaifenesin Protocol is what I’m talking about. And no, it’s not just about taking a pill, you must do the whole protocol for it to actually work!

And YES! The Guaifenesin Protocol really works for Fibromyalgia!!

People are BORN with Fibromyalgia, but for most the symptoms don’t kick in till later in life. You can have small things like ‘growing pains’, bladder issues or ‘prone to illness’ and just live with it, not knowing that there is possibly something else going on. Notice I said POSSIBLY! Not everything is Fibromyalgia!

Basically, there is trouble with our kidneys. Dr St Amand believes (after 50 years of study and thousands of patients) that our kidneys have a genetic defect and don’t eliminate phosphate from our bodies, so the body compensates by storing it all over the body, creating tender points, bumps, lumps and many other issues! Please refer to the paper mentioned earlier for the more exhaustive list of symptoms Some of the most prevalent symptoms I have seen are these: Irritable Bowel Syndrome complaints, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, chronic bladder and yeast infection complaints, back, neck, sciatica, shoulder pain, post-nasal drip, sinus and nasal issues, sore feet, ankles, knees… the list goes ON and ON!

Experienced Visitor

The only thing that works well to make the kidneys work as they should is pure Guaifenesin. But not only that! Before you run all over the internet searching Guaifenesin and reading ANCIENT papers on the studies done back in the 70’s, please hear me out! There is something that BLOCKS Guaifenesin from working, and they didn’t know about that when a lot of those papers and studies were done. Thankfully, Dr St Amand has kept at it, determined to help his patients (and himself!) get well, not just cover symptoms with heavier, more addictive pain meds.
