Guaifenesin studies show a noticeable increase in calcium, excretion. This helps explain why people develope kidney stones after taking large quantities of cough medicine containing guaifenesin. No study has ever found guaifenesin to be effective in reversing or preventing any symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
Greater the expectation, the greater the placebo effect. This is a very real problem with guaifenesin treatment and Fibromyalgia, which practically guarantees both success, and a complete reversal of all symptoms. Yet study after study has shown guaifenesin does not prevent nor reverse any major symptom of Fibromyalgia.
No scientific evidence has even been presented showing that excess phosphate in the body is the cause of Fibromyalgia.
Inadequate production of ATP within the body is without a doubt the leading, but not the only scientifically proven cause of Fibromyalgia.
During the 1990s, Dr. Robert Bennett, a recognized expert in the fibromyalgia field, agreed to do a study on guaifenesin during the 1990’s. Results of this long term study showed that guaifenesin had no effect on Fibromyalgia.
Some doctors claim the drug guaifenesin can treat Fibromyalgia by removing excess phosphate from the body. The removal of the phosphate would supposedly lead to a reversal of all Fibromyalgia symptoms, which would essentially be as close to a cure as possible. Clinical studies have not proven this to be the case at all.
