Important
Recheck All Ingredients Before Purchasing Any Products Because Ingredients Change!

   

     Our reference lists are not comprehensive, but can be a useful resource when researching ingredients.

When originally checked, the items on our product lists were acceptable for use with the guaifenesin protocol.  Remember that this is not a comprehensive list, there are many products not listed here that you can use. Use these as a guideline only, and please recheck each product prior to purchase. Products change!  If you find something that is no longer salicylate-free please contact Claudia Marek (claudiacmarek@aol.com) so we can update our information.

Remember, these reference lists are not comprehensive, but can be a useful resource when researching ingredients. There are hundreds of acceptable products not listed here.

• Avoiding Salicylates 
                                                   
• For Chemically

  Sensitive Individuals.

  One of the particular challenges of the guai protocol has been finding products for people who don't want to use synthetic chemicals or animal products on their skin. In addition, many fibromyalgics have chemical sensitivities and difficulty tolerating scents. Now there is a solution:

  Grace Advantage (Fibrosmile) has newly formulated products and a new name. Cleure (the combination of clean and pure) products are salicylate-free and formulated for use with the guaifenesin protocol. A generous portion of the sales price of all items is donated to the FTC’s ongoing research projects. Please purchase at: www.cleure.com/ftc or via the link on our homepage.

  Cleure is the only salicylate-free product line whose sales benefit our work. We appreciate their support, effort and fine quality products.

  Shop with confidence and support research. Knowledge about the cause and treatment of fibromyalgia will benefit all of us.
