Details for Guai buddy, Megan Parker of Gisborne
It has been Megan's success and enthusiasm for using Guai, since 1998, that started
our Guai section for Positive Living.  She is our most experienced user in New Zealand
and has three children.   She is in contact with Dr St Amand and his nurse for any queries
that she may not be able to answer.   Megan can be contacted at dmsamparker@clear.net.nz
Guai buddy no 2   Recently we welcomed Wendy Howard of Kaiwaka, Northland, 37 yrs,
diagnosed FM Sep 2000, started Guai May 2002, now on a daily cycling dose 1200 mg capsules
since 24 August 2002.   Wendy's email is wendy_m_howard@yahoo.com
 
Update on N.Z. Sal-free Toothpaste
NZ Sal-free Toothpaste manufactured here in New Zealand, will be available in 2003.
The pharmacist has done another magnificent piece of work for you.
I am waiting now for the release date and prices.  I will let you all know in advance.
Please note: I will inform you immediately the toothpaste is available and we have prices for it.
Let's continue to do our best to support our pharmacy & his support for Positive Living.
 
Updated Order form for Guaifenesin
Please Note: we are now sending Guai to people in Aussie.
From receipt of orders until you receive your supplies, it normally takes about 24-72 hours
in N.Z., depending on where you live,   and about 5-10 days to Aussie.
Delays no longer apply. Recently, there were delays in supply of 300mg capsules due
to the imposition of unrealistic standards (higher than those required in the USA)   on our
pharmacist after his successful opposition to the recent NZ Government Supplements Bill.
Manufacture has returned to normal for both 300mg & 600 mg Guaifenesin capsules.
Please find following (and attached) an updated order form to use when ordering Guaifenesin
through Positive Living.  I refer your order to the compounding pharmacist immediately.
We are hoping to establish a direct ordering service when the toothpaste becomes available.
If you have any trouble printing out these files, please email Jacqui at jacqui@voxau.com
and I will post a copy to you or embed it in an email.
 
Quick Website references
All the attached files are on the website if you
click on       http://www.voxau.com/fib/fibro/51guai.htm
If is good to refer people to the website as some articles are too long to put out by email -
especially the 'Facts and Answers' for using Guaifenesin, which is excellent.
 
Take care and do have a very happy Christmas
Kindest thoughts
- Jacqui
