2016 Summit

2016 SUMMIT

The Colorado Fibromyalgia Summit is a mini conference for patients, practitioners and body workers to learn about the Guaifenesin Protocol for the treatment of Fibromyalgia symptoms as well as learning the skills of body mapping to find the lesions created by excess phosphate deposits throughout the body.

This year, our conference was led by Dr. Melissa Congdon, a close colleague of Dr. St. Amand. You may learn more about her by visiting her website at www.melissacongdonmd.com and about the protocol created by Dr. St. Amand at www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com

Our Fibromyalgia Summit held on Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July 9, 2016 was an amazing weekend. Here are some of the highlights:

Friday Morning Mapping Class

Friday, sixteen body workers were introduced to the “mapping” process. This is where you record the evidence of Fibromyalgia that is felt beneath the skin. With this, you are able to monitor the progress of the reversal process. Many of the body workers are interested in learning to become approved mappers.

Saturday Morning Public Session

Saturday morning, Dr. Congdon spoke about her personal Fibromyalgia story and its progression in patients. She now says, “chronic widespread pain and non-restorative sleep = Fibromyalgia, unless proven otherwise”. She introduced attendees to the guaifenesin protocol and how to do it correctly. She let us in on the “three game changers” for Fibromyalgia recovery. She also answered many of our questions. We received great feedback from those who attended.
