Supplements Are there any multi-vitamins etc on the market that don't contain natural salicylates in them?
Answer Bearing in mind what is said in the above book -
Positive Living is recommending Alpha Lipid Colostrum, which is the top grade New Zealand Colostrum, especially formulated to enhance absorbability and ensure up to 100% better bioavaiability to the body's systems.
Only colostrum is designed by nature to protect mammals (like us) from disease! Alpha Lipid Colostrum is the only supplement that contains natural abitbodies for the sort of illnesses we are exposed to every day.
There are many other 'immune-boosting' supplements available, but these do not contain antibodies. Colsotrum's natural antibodies have been scientifically and clinically shown to be effective against germs
and Alpha Lipid colostrum has no negative side-effects, only the positive benefit of protecting and boosting your immune system.
Alpha Lipid also has a number of extra benefits: the destruction of bacteria in the gut, a protective effect on the liver, an improvement in mental abilities and a lessening of the symptoms of depression. This is why Positive Living is stocking it.
Many fibromyalgics are having excellent success with Alpha Lipid Colostrum for energy and vitality. It also
helps strengthen your immune system, which fibromyalgics need. Alpha Lipid Colostrum also helps you care for the anti-aging problem or degeneration of the organs in your body because you are not going into the fourth stage REM sleep.
This lack of deep, restful, 'renewal' sleep is of concern to us because we therfore lack the normal renewing of the body's organs which does not take place, making us more prone to illness. Alpha Lipid Colostrum may be worth you trying it and, because it is an animal product, Alpha Lipid Colostrum can be used along with Guai.

Question 3
Washing powder- Fabric softener We have lavender fabric softener. So my question is - will the fact that it is being used on my
clothes be a problem? If not, when I do the washing I'll just have to make sure I don't touch it.
Answer 1. This depends on how allergic your skin is to substances. It would be better to avoid the
addition of the lavender until you have established a clear regime - Jacqui
Answer 2. It will depend on how sal sensitive you are to plant extracts, for the Fabric Softener to be a
problem. Some people block a lot easier than others and it may get onto your skin through your clothes. I would however, try to find a softener
without any plant origins, just to be on the safe side. If you block, the Guai will have to do the job twice and you don't want to go through that - Megan.
Question 4
Same thing for dishwashing liquid... will it matter if it's on the plates, as long as I don't touch it when I do the washing? Plates should have no residue if thoroughly rinsed.
Answer 1. You can probably escape if you wear gloves while doing the washing
up - but why make life a hassle for yourself? Just find a sal-free dishwashing liquid - Jacqui.
Answer 2. Most dishwashing liquids are Ok. Just avoid lemon etc. and don't buy the health
shop ones as they will most likely have plant extracts in them. It shouldn't matter about the plates and to be really safe just wear gloves when
doing the dishes - Megan.
Question 5
Ajax, Pinoclean, Toilet duck etc... If I touch the benches etc after being cleaned with these will
that be a problem? When I do the washing, I'll wear gloves of course...
Answer 1. These products should not remain on the surfaces if they have been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed -
therefore it should be OK. Up to you, why create a hassle for yourself? Find sal-free substances over a long-term period. Make life easier !
Remember that finger tips may absorb enough salicylates within 15 seconds to cause a problem for Guaifenesin. - Jacqui.
Answer 2. After cleaning benches etc. just wipe them
over with a damp cloth to get rid of the residue, and to be safe again, gloves are the best option when cleaning. Also when peeling veges, fruit etc. these have lots of juice - Megan
