About two years ago, I thought I'd never walk again.
When I was a child, doctors told me I had arthritis and would be crippled by the time I was an adult. Then, they said, "Doctors could operate." "And then I'd be all right?" I asked hopefully. "No, but then they can operate," the doctor replied cynically.
So I started exercising with light weights because I noticed increasing the circulation in that way relieved the pain. After a year of doing that, somebody asked if I ever considered entering a bodybuilding competition "because you're the most muscular guy around." Doctors who saw me said I was probably the healthiest guy they had personally seen -- but once a year I'd come down with severe back pains for about two months and for another two months, I'd have a bad case of bronchitis.
Then two years ago,it seemed the back pain wouldn't go away this time and I could barely walk ten feet in excruciating pain. I thought about getting an electric scooter with a seat. But just then, I noticed an article in the newspaper about a doctor who claimed he had found a surprisingly simple cure for fibromyalgia -- which seems to include 90% of the chronic symptoms most people complain about. The cure was guaifenesin.
I knew nothing about fibromyalgia but I was very familiar with guaifenesin because I took it to cure my bronchitis -- and noted back in the mid-80s that it made me feel good. I thought one should take it regularly as a health tonic like Geritol. Health professionals I suggested this to warned me against becoming addicted to cough medicine because shortly before this time,codeine was the main ingredient in cough medicines. Now, the new and improved wonder formula was guaifenesin. I thought it was so good I went and bought 1,000 shares of AH Robbins, the patent holder; they corroborated my suspicions that there were promising other as yet unspecified cures for guaifenesin. They did not materialize by the time of the stock market crash of 1987 and so I sold it and forgot about it.
So guaifenesin I knew something about and bought a few bottles before attending the lecture that weekend. I had been reluctant to continue taking the product except when I had bronchitis symptoms since the label warned against it -- as standard protocol. I learned at the lecture that there was no known negative side-effect with prolonged use. I searched the Internet to find what studies I could on guaifenesin and was impressed that there was no known negative side-effects but it seems, many positive ones.
Apparently guaifenesin does not only liquefy the mucus in the lungs when one has a respiratory inflammation but liquefies the mucus throughout one's body. The major lubricant in the body is mucus. As a joint moves, the cartilage releases mucus to provide lubrication for that movement.
As cells age, they tend to become less liquid and fluid, so as they congeal, they eventually cease functioning as cells, which requires the proper viscosity to continue optimal functioning. The pioneer of this cure is St. Amand. The cure is an underground sensation, spawning support groups around the world.
What convinced me was that a week into the regimen, I noticed my old high school football knee injury of thirty-five years disappeared completely and hasn't returned, nor have I had debilitating back pain or bronchitis since. The exciting concept here is that all the cells in the body may be breaking down due to the same universal cause rather than that only the heart, lungs, joints, digestive tract, etc. tissue are malfunctioning while all the others are perfectly all right. It may be that it is just noticed in one tissue or organ before the others -- but the whole body is disfunctioning in this way -- because the essential liquidity of the body is too thick to allow for proper cell functioning.
Most of those I've shared this cure with have noticed that there was a period of pain-free functioning that is pretty inobtrusive. And when they noticed painful episodes in their lives thereafter, they noted coincidentally, that they weren't using it. It is pretty similar chemically to aspirin; in fact, it was a rival to aspirin that lost out a hundred years ago -- but maybe should have been the path we went down. Rather than causing digestive upset, it seems to cure it -- along with many other chronic conditions.
Interesting comments, thank you.
