I am taking a revolutionary new group of eight sugars and it is helping me with regular sickness and infections, it may help you. I just can't be quiet about it because it has helped save my grandmothers life (breast cancer) and it has helped Many, Many, Many, other people with everything. Let me briefly explain and then I will give you some websites to look at yourself so that you know that I am telling you the truth and so that you can find more information."
!Story - SIMCOE.COM v.2 - online newspaper serving Barrie, Alliston, Collingwood/Wasaga Beach, Midland and Orillia, Ontario.
From: NewsTrove.com
"Jason Balaban, co-ordinator of fund-raising events for the MS Society of Canada, said he is hoping for 150 people to sign up for the walk, and half already have.
"We are always looking to expand, and Midland was the next logical step," said Balaban.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. It can cause loss of balance, impaired speech, fatigue, double vision and paralysis, and is diagnosed by a doctor.
It is estimated there are 50,000 Canadians living with the disease, and many are women, who are twice as likely to develop MS."

Fibromyalgia Blogs from LiveJournal
From: www.livejournal.com
"Has anyone read or tired this book?
I saw an article on it and thought I would see if anyone else has read it or any of his other books."
Guaifenesin
From: www.livejournal.com
"My doctor prescribed guaifenesin the other day. I haven't started yet as the pharmacy have to make them up, and with easter, can't pick them up until next Wednesday.
However, I was wondering how many of you have tried this and whether you had any success etc?
Considering the idea of it is to make you worse before better, I'm a little concerned. Any feedback would be great."
Update on FMS Pain Management Program
From: www.livejournal.com
"My insurance company has approved my treatment at the FMS Pain Management Center that I posted about last week. However, there are limitations to that approval, specifically in the alternative medicine options. Not all are covered, i.e. acupuncture and anything that remotely sounds New Age. The good news is that Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy (which includes trigger point release/massage)psychological and pain management are all covered 100%.
My initial evaluation should be scheduled in about a month. I'm in the process of securing all my medical records from the multitude of doctors who have treated me (and in some instances, have ridiculed my FMS) in the past 2 years.
I'm very encouraged about this program. The Nurse/Intake Coordinator seems up-to-date on all the new studies and medications used to treat FMS. The evaluations will be done from a team approach and a case plan will be developed to meet my needs.
I will update with news as I receive it."
