Summary
Pat Gurnick's main treatment was the Guaifenesin Protocol (developed by Dr. Paul St. Amand), followed for 1.2 years, alongside the antiviral Kutapressin and pacing and self-regulation techniques from Dr. William Collinge's CFS book, plus staying within her "energy envelope," reducing stress, and spiritual practices. Her illness began in January 1990 after pesticide exposure, and at its worst -- lasting about 2.5 years -- she was bedridden and unable to read, write, drive, or even balance well enough to bathe or feed herself. After 1.2 years on the Guaifenesin protocol she "became pain free and to this day rarely has pain" from fibromyalgia, and her CFS went into remission. The account states she "has never had a relapse," indicating the improvement has been durably sustained.
