Sal-free Products

Salicylate Webmaster Jacqui
10 December 2003


Click here to access Dr. Paul St. Amand's quick reference guide on Salicylates,  direct from The Fibromyalgia Treatment Center



This list, with the ingredients listed, is to aid anyone who is starting out on the guaifenesin protocol in New Zealand or is looking for a new product, as most available lists of products are USA-based, where formulations may be different.
 
Most items were purchased from a supermarket, unless stated otherwise. If you use this list, please check the ingredients on the product for yourself before using the product. We cannot be responsible for any alterations to formulas.  The ingredients listed below are as found at the time our products were purchased.
 
Every time a product is bought, whether previously checked or not, the ingredients  should be checked against your previous lists to make sure the formulation is unchanged and the product does not have salicylates in it. This procedure is made simpler by having your own personal list in a notebook to check against products.
 
We have added a date to the product information on this list.  If you date your information or purchase, you are able to identify if a product is new since you last checked your page. 

All ingredients listed below have been confirmed to be salicylate-free or at least so low in salicylates that it should not be of concern. If you think you have blocked on one of these products, with the identical ingredients, please contact
jacqui@voxau.com  or megan@voxau.com
