  1. Someone suggested they are seasonal, when the rains come they leave for the rest of the year. Then they come back in Jan? Just trying to zero in on a month so I can schedule this project.
  2. Yes they are here! When do those bats migrate out of here? Which month do they leave? ! What I’d like t
  3. When do our local bats migrate away from this area? Is that once rainy season begins? By what time of year are they gone? I’m planning on doing a project which would be greatly hampered if they were still present.
  4. Nothing fancy.... Don't want a posh salon! I have long hair below shoulders, which requires layering. Aim to keep my hair long, and do not want to be shortened up. A plus (not a must): Bonus (again, only a plus - not required) anyone who is knowledgable of hair treatments to retain durability of longer hair (eg splits/damage control).
  5. @TheWalkers check your regular yahoo email box.
  6. I tried to PM you. Your preferences may need adjustment, or your mailbox may be too full. I know who you are in person, and can contact you off this board if need be. See if you can fix your preferences, and if not let me know!
  7. Having an open mind is key. I do not think what I use for fleas, is considered holistic in the least. However, our homeopathic vet recommends neem as it is extremely safe, that recommendation coming without selling me any of the products. So it is nice to know that neem does not interfere with their system and is safe to use while treating with a homeopathic remedy. There are many safe (non-pesticide) flea preventives. It does take some research to find those, and I have heard of that pendant. It looked enticing, and too good to be true. I am not surprised it worked for your dog, I had heard good reports on that. I tempted when I looked at that pendant, but my dogs are oh so exposed and we are very active (hiking) with them and their doggy friends. I decide to go with a natural Neem pet concentrate, and have been impressed with that. The small bottle mixes up over a year of applications. We have not found a flea/tick yet on our dogs, and they hike and roll around in the mountains, sometimes with other dogs which we found to have fleas after the fact. None of those fleas found ours appealing, so this must be working.
  8. I did receive PM's... Not necessarily looking an "answer" though. More so, a mutually beneficial exchange of experiences and information. I really did not expect to have heard from many, as most of us are brought up on conventional and big pharma. One person that I have heard from, was not aware that there was a Homeopathic Vet which visits our area. Much to be gained from this exchange of information.
  9. Thanks for checking out that link. We each have to choose what is right for us. There will always be those who counter our choices, much like the static that many of us heard in our choice to move to Mexico. Point being, is if you listen too closely to those who say nay, then you may indeed miss out. I am not here to change peoples views, ridicule, or gossip about others, when perspective differs. If you will please note, the original post said: Please PM me directly.
  10. For those who are interested, I have included a link to a (free) book, to understand what I am referring to in that of Samuel Hahnemann approach to Homeopathy: http://www.drdooley.net/Book.pdf The word itself, Homeopathy, conjures up images of a person treating themselves with herbs and multiple "natural" off the shelf treatments. In fact, the above approach, uses one remedy, to treat the whole person, and frowns upon multiple ingredients or remedies. That read is a valued resource, many true Homeopathic Doctors recommend patients read. A great clarifier to be certain, for so much is termed Homeopathy.
  11. An open mind and research brought us to Mexico. Just think what the same might do for your health. http://www.integrativepractitioner.com/whats-new/news-and-commentary/harvard-study-has-good-news-for-homeopathic-medicine/
  12. I am looking to connect with others who (are living in this immediate area of Lake Chapala) : Have sought out and utilized Homeopathy, as per Dr. Samuel Hahnemann's teachings. This would be for a mutual sharing of resources and experience. I am interested in hearing from those who have benefited (or would like to benefit), as this applies for both human and pet health. Please PM me directly. Thank you.
  13. Yes, Bellon contacted me very promptly. Thank you Barbara!
  14. ok.. sent them an email. Phone is not going through. Thank you so much... Hope he has weekend hours and checks his email regularly!
  15. That is exactly what I was requesting. Thank you!
  16. What is the current insurance premium for Bellon health and does it differ for a 58 year old vs a 70 year old? Contact information please. Email, as well as phone. Currently on Boomers, but the announcement of a 1,000 hike in deductable to 3,500 and 600 USD increase on premium ($1,940.00) is a bit severe for someone without pre-existing anything and young. Funny, they didn't give even two weeks notice before required renewal/commitment. That was the most unimpressive element in this.
  17. I ordered from the US website, after speaking with customer service in US and they said that they didn't have a Mexico website. I received my shipment without fuss or duty, and quite frankly the discount was very good... I stayed clear of the 50.00 limit (Duty happens over 50.00?) Cost was much less (see below) what I'd pay in stores lakeside. www.puritan.com Ship speed : Took 4 weeks to reach me. I ordered three bottles for 13.39 (vs 60.00 here) and paid 10.00 shipping. Total was 23.49 vs 60.00! Happy with this source of shipping PP vites. Faster arrival than most other vite suppliers.
  18. Thank you for sharing! Where is this clinic located? Were you sent by a Gyn, Breast specialist or GP?
  19. Thanks much for the referral. It helps when the same name comes up repeatedly.
  20. Thanks for that info and I will be in contact with her. The name of Dr. Illana Ramos name keeps coming up!
  21. Noting again that Banuelos comes out as recommended, both here and in PM's to me. Also looking up Tomosynthesis which appears to be higher exposure (like CT scan) Concerning : http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/02/19/tomosynthesis-mammography.aspx Currently reviewing both ultrasound Thermographic and comparing to Mammos: http://www.breastthermography.com/mammography_thermography.htm (This link was from a thermography site, so still searching for an unbiased web source) ) Thanks again!
  22. Thanks for that thought. I ruled out what existed at that point, just two years ago. I did so due to a special family consideration. That said, I won't be testing for that again. Rather, I am just looking to be responsible, in finding an excellent (breast) specialist and top notch diagnostic testing. Many on this board and back in the US receive false negatives on tests. I've known two (US) people personally, which testing and/or the medical community missed on finding their cancer during a cancer screening. Both have since passed.
