I have a friend in Canada whose daughter died from immunization. The virus' moved into her organs and slowly broke them down. She was 15 years old when she died. I was informed at that time that 1 in 10,000 children dies from immunization but very few die of measles. A well respected person from this community worked as a drug rep for "Big Pharma" and she will tell you what they push on people that have deadly effects. Look at the thalidimine (sp?) problem of the 60's or the dalkan shield issue of the 70's to name a few. All were approved even though they knew there were problems. Someone has to pay for the development and a few deaths and deformities are worth the risk. I viewed a program on Nat Geo that outlined the most recent problem with a vaccine given to children in Britain and the EU that caused them all to develop narcolepsy. Talk about ruining lives, they cannot drive, work or socialize. There will always be controversy on both sides of the argument but I believe we have to educate ourselves and determine what is best for us as individuals.

Congratulations to all!!!!!
-
Only my opinion of the situation which I believe works for me. Everyone needs to evaluate their own situation. Where does one go in Boquete to get the vaccine, do you know Bonnie?
-
Obviously I am not a medical professional but the Canadian studies are downgrading success rates of flu vaccines in general and this is upsetting to me. I assumed this meant the H1N1 as well. If this new vaccine is for type A & B is an improvement, I suppose time will tell. Doe's anyone know if these flu virus' mutate and adapt like other virus'?
-
Seems like there is no reason for seniors in our expat community to get the shot if it is not working half the time. I have never had a flu shot simply because the shots contain last years flu virus' and it is my understanding that many of these virus' mutate and adapt making the shot obsolete.

Thanks all.

Is this the place across from Alto Dorado plaza? If so, I went there for vegetables and they had none yet their sign says they have veggies.

Too funny Bonnie! Panama just recognized Taiwan as being part of China. I am thinking that would not be politically correct for the Taiwanese.
-
There are small farms that are growing "organic" trout, salmon and tilapia. These fish take longer to grow and, because they spawn naturally, are seasonal. In my opinion, GMO is not necessary if we all learn to eat what is available seasonally.
-
I have a friend in the US who is interested in teaching English to the Chinese as was advertised about 9 - 12 months ago on several blogs in Boquete. Does anyone still have this information? I did a search and was not able to find the original post. Thanks all!

Makes one wonder if the Miami mayor is being paid off as well! Maybe he has been taking lessons from Martinelli ("Teacher") on how to cheat Miami tax payers.

Canadian Cheque Deposits
MarieElaine replied to JohnF13's topic in Banking, Currency, Safety Deposit Boxes, etc.
Using the ATM and withdrawing at a cost of $5.25 per transaction is the way I do it. I did have a bank account at Banistmo before they left Boquete but the fees were exorbitant. I have both my Canadian and U.S. pensions deposited to an online bank, USAA which, because they do not have brick & mortar locations, have no service fees for international transactions or transfers. Internet banking is safe and service charges are practically non existent. Just a thought. -
Would an organization such as this also help refugees coming to Panama from other countries?
-
My suggestion was not meant to be taken seriously folks! I would never want "deplorables" living next to me in or out of a basket. LOL

Observations About The New Deli Baru in Boquete
MarieElaine replied to Bonnie's topic in Shopping and Store Resources
So those travelling north have to turn around or turn left at a street that allows left turns and come back. Thanks for the correction. -
I wonder what this means? Is he teaching others how to steal, launder money and generally get away with murder?

Observations About The New Deli Baru in Boquete
MarieElaine replied to Bonnie's topic in Shopping and Store Resources
I would like to mention that the road in front of Baru is a one way street travelling east from the school so there should not be two way traffic on that road. I believe it is a matter of time before the Policia start ticketing. I buy my produce at the green grocer across from Sr. Gyros, fresher and for the most part, not coming from farms using a lot of pesticides (like Cerro Punta farmers). I think Mandarin has the best chicken in town so I tend to buy my dry goods there as well. As for Romero's, the smell has always turned me off. -
Sorry, it is Revilla not Avilla. Pushed the wrong keys!
-
Danka refused to fill my prescription for heart medication 2.5 years ago and I ended up using Avilla instead. My medication is a common one, atenalol, and can be found at most pharmacies. They were not even nice about refusing me.
-
I knew these existed but never knew what to look for. Thanks for the info!
-
Hi Dottie, Would this be like the paper a butcher would use to wrap meat? If so, perhaps one of the butchers in town can help. Also try the fabric store since dress patterns are sometimes made from this brown paper. There is always one of the art stores in David. Just some thoughts/

Are there no restaurant health inspectors here in Panama?
-
What a cutie! Hope she finds a loving forever home.

Another immigration mess! I wonder what nations they contacted? I am sure Canada would love to have these refugees. I am a "tourist" in this country who is between a rock and a hard place and nobody has offered me money. I could use the $1650 to get my Jubilado. LOL
