My experience with starting Guai recently is that I did feel a little

better almost immediately. I am trying to figure out how this is

possible, since it doesn't seem to be typical according to what I've

read. More typical seems to be people feeling worse (they

start " clearing phosphates, " as the theory goes). I suppose if it's

a placebo effect, I will know over time. I know it's not due to Dr.

St. Amand's famous charisma, because I've never seen him.

I heard somewhere that Guai works as an NMDA receptor blocker, which

would explain the slight pain reduction I have seen. But I don't

think this would explain the decrease in morning stiffness I have

seen, which would be explained by the phosphate theory.

If I learn anything more I will share it. Maybe there is a subset of

PWCs whose pathology is exactly what St. Amand theorizes, and these

people respond to Guai.
