GUAI PROTOCOL.
brass tacks: you can pick it up over the counter as "mucinex" or cough expectorant/mucus relief generically.
Active ingredient is: "guaifenesin"
What it does:
Something about flushing the phosphates out of the cells in your body (I take about 2000mg a day, and have little to no pain now).
Apparently a doctor in California did some studies/trials on this as an FMS treatment, but the research was rejected by the medical community for some stupid reason.. so it never caught on.
I was in so much pain about 4 months ago, that I scoured the internet, until I found a youtube video of a woman in England whom swears by this; she said that in 4 days, her pain was almost complete gone. So I went to walgreens the next day, and started a regimen. And within 2 days, I started to notice a difference...
Anyway... the drug is over the counter (no prescription needed), and is called "guaifenesin".
Trust me, it works. I think anywhere from 800mg-2400mg a day is fine, depending on what works for you. I was on Lyrica, and found out it didn't work for me even at $300 a bottle.
I don't have a financial interest in any of these products, I'm just an FMS patient whom was desperate and wants to share what worked for him. So I'm basically posting this all over this board to see if it catches on.. Google it yourself!
Cheers,
