		The majority of the medical community, base their negative opinion on the 1996, results of a year-long, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of guaifenesin conducted by Robert M. Bennett, MD, professor of medicine and retired chairman of the Division of Arthritis and Rheumatic Diseases at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland.
		The concept behind the protocol (guaifenesin is the main ingredient in expectorants, like Robitussin) is that people with fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have a genetic anomaly, which effects the body's ability to excrete phosphates.

		Amand’s theory (unproven) is that guaifenesin attaches to an area in the kidney and helps the kidneys excrete something that causes ‘lumps and bumps’ not only in muscles but throughout the body.
		Guaifenesin acts in a number of complex ways, thinning mucus (but not directly), possibly in MANY parts of the body (my experience), and also is an antioxidant.
		However, it is used for this effect in veterinary medicine. And a slightly different form of guaifenesin, guaifenesin carbamate, is used in humans as a muscle relaxant, and is sold under the name Robaxin.

		Guaifenesin is proposed to enable the kidney tubules to function normally and therefore excrete the excess phosphates.
		When an individual begins taking guaifenesin, it initiates a cycle of purging the body cells of phosphates, releasing them back into the bloodstream to be excreted by the kidneys.
		Guaifenesin is believed to bind to specific receptors to exert its effect and salicylates are competitors for these sites and rapidly fill them leaving no room for guaifenesin.
