Support / Recovery Groups
Vision, Mission, and Goals

• A network of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue (FMS/CFIDS) Recovery Groups made up of patients who take responsibility for their personal health by following the Guaifenesin Protocol for treatment of FMS/CFIDS as developed by R. Paul St. Amand, M.D.
• Widespread adoption of the Protocol by the medical profession as the treatment of choice for FMS/CFIDS.

Our Mission:

• To provide education, validation and hope to those diagnosed with FMS/CFIDS who choose, as their primary treatment, the Guaifenesin Protocol presented in the book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia, by St. Amand and Marek.
• To demonstrate successful outcomes to healthcare professionals.
  

Our Goals:

• Educate patients, families, and health care professionals about Dr. St. Amand’s Guaifenesin Protocol
• Demonstrate integrity and knowledge of Dr. St. Amand’s Guaifenesin Protocol in leadership of Recovery Groups.
• Direct members of Recovery Groups to seek the advice of their own physicians for any concern not strictly related to the protocol.
• Encourage and support members as they learn the protocol.
• Foster members’ independence and self-sufficiency in following the protocol.
• Teach members to understand and identify synthetic and natural salicylates.
• Educate those with hypoglycemia, in addition to their FMS/CFIDS, methods to control blood sugar.
• Collaborate with other Recovery Groups to promote public awareness of Dr. St. Amand’s Guaifenesin Protocol regionally and nationally.
