Very interesting viewpoint regarding salicylates, guaifenesin and the negative effects of the chemicals and elements we're exposed to in our daily life.

Dr. St. Amand has fibromyalgia himself, as well as a background in endocrinology. I have found his insights, particularly the use of diet, to be key to my own continued health and ability to function. Every sufferer of this disease should read this book.
