There IS a Way Out of Fibromyalgia

The Guaifenesin Protocol, which Andrea credits with her recovery from fibromyalgia's ravages, has 3 things going for it that other so-called "cures" for fibro don't. First, it is highly effective (80%+ if done right according to the physicians who specialize in it). Secondly, it is inexpensive. In fact many SAVE $ because they end up cutting back significantly on expensive supplements and personal care products, not to mention costly doctors visits and testing. Thirdly, there is an immense network and community of Guai-healed fibromyalgics who've reclaimed full lives AND who stick around in the Guai community to help "guai newbies" get better, like they once did. Andrea is a real leader in this community, with her big heart, deep knowledge, and generous spirit. The down side of the Guai protocol is that it demands patience and fortitude in the early months and years. It is NOT an overnight cure, by any stretch. Andrea's book is "just what the doctor ordered" for someone in their early days on the Guai protocol. It paints a vivid and encouraging story of recovery, with many details that are super useful for those new to the Guai protocol. This easy-to-read book provides a bright beacon of hope for those suffering with pain, fatigue and the other debilitating symptoms of fibromyalgia. Andrea was generous to take the time to share her story with the world. We all benefit.

Great book and easy to read. A must read for all who have Fibromyalgia. I have had Fibromyalgia all my life and started going to Dr. R. Paul St. Amand in July 1998. After my first appointment my head was spinning to know what products to buy. That is when I met Andrea Rose on the phone. She helped me so much in my first year and years following with her advice and products. To this day I cannot do without her shampoo nor lipstick nor lip gloss. I watched as she developed all her products. As one who is sensitive to all fragrances Andrea's products are a God send! Andrea knows what she is talking about as she too has Fibromyalgia. She spends hours on the phone helping people with the protocol of Dr. R. Paul St. Amand. I urge you who are suffering and feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel to read this book. I got my life back thanks to the the Protocol of Dr. R. Paul S. Amand and so will you! Read this inspiring book. Andrea knows what she is talking about! Trust me on this.

Andrea Rose has benefited so much from Dr. St. Amand’s Guaifenesin Protocol that she started a salicylate-free cosmetic line, Andrea Rose, and wrote this little book, her story through fibromyalgia. Best to just stick with St. Amand’s What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia. Maybe buy a few of her cosmetics. But don’t buy this book.

I've done hundred of reviews for Amazon, but all have been limited to operatic recordings, as well as an occasional item I've purchased. So here I go doing a review on a book that I happened to hear about via a confidante. To begin with, had anyone uttered the word "fibromyalgia" as recently as a decade ago, or possibly even less, virtually no one, including most in the Health Care field, would have known what it was. I was no exception. Is it a "new" disease? Doubtful. However, there were many conditions around for many years for which medical science had no explanation, and those who suffered from it were almost always given incorrect diagnoses and were prescribed medications which did nothing to alleviate the condition known as fibromyalgia. My curiosity got the best of me with respect to this medical condition, and knew of one neighbor in my building complex that suffered from it. She seemed frustrated, bitter, angry, and completely perplexed as to why she was being subjected to such chronic pain such as muscle aches, skin burning sensations, and a genuine feeling of malaise. When it temporarily abated, she was fine, but when it returned (which it always did), it returned with a vengeance. She is still suffering from this disease, and I'm going to give her this book immediately. And what type of book is it?? No, it's not a book that is full of imperative sentences telling people what to do. The tone is friendly, informal, and yet it has that special "something" that makes you not want to put it down until the end of the read. Yes, the author, Andrea Rose puts a lot of information out there, and for many this may well require a second reading of the book, but this is hardly a difficult job since the book itself is approximately only sixty ages, meticulously divided into eleven very short chapters. Ms. Rose is telling her story in the manner of an odyssey ----- HER odyssey. Obviously, she tells her story in the first person singular, and by doing so, she makes it very personal. She truly cares about people who suffer from this medical condition and she goes into detail about the "protocol" she employed to bring about her eventual recovery into being. To describe her methods and strategies would be much too time consuming and difficult. This is a book that needs to read rather than discussed. Ms. Rose tells a good story, one that a small, but certainly significant percent of the population will benefit from. She gives us glimpses into her personal life, as well as a certain feeling of intimacy when "talking" to us. Her style is straight, to the point, and completely reader-friendly. While one can truly sympathize with those who suffer with this terrible illness/condition, it is reassuring to know that a book like this is around. The message here is compassion, dedication, regimentation, and above all, hope. Highly recommended on all counts.

This book is a very insightful. and inspiring account of the authors struggle..The author gives first hand information about this chronic and devastating illness. She makes it easy to understand using many experiences from her own life. Ms. Rose informs the reader on the protocol which brought her back from the depths of despair to an active and productive life. Her story gives the reader hope and optimism that they can experience success as well. A must read!!

Andrea Rose has written a book that I can totally relate too. My story is her story. Thank goodness that I found her. She has saved my life by teaching me about the guaifenesin protocol and staying salicylate free. I use all of her products which I know are safe. She's always answers my phone calls and gives me advice on all of my questions. I am now pain free because of Andrea Rose and I thank her for coming out with such a great book. Diana Stubblefield.

Great book about the Guaifenesin Protocol (developed by Dr. St. Amand) and how it can help people with fibromyalgia! There is hope for those who have fibromyalgia to reverse the disease and get their life back. Andrea Rose started her own cosmetic line that is salicylate free, which is safe for people who follow the Guaifenesin Protocol. Quick read!
