    Her new office is at 101 Guadalupe Victoria 101C (in the next block west of the El Torito mall's backside.  Phone (045) 331 050 4287.

    My doctor of choice.  🙂

    I found her on facebook and had her phone no. too...she saw me on Mon and I'm on the way to recovery...thanks to her kind and prompt reply.    MY doctor now........as long as we are here................ 

  2. I have just arrived back in Ajijic and have a raw sore throat...and have been seen by Dr Jessica last year..she is thorough and keeps records!!  And promptly cleared up my lingering bronchitis after diagnosis ...I did have her email, which she gave us, ...does anyone else have it to forward to me?  I'm not finding her in my contacts now.........     Thank you in advance.......

    I worked in the fruit and veggie picking and packing industry in Canada. If people knew how many people had touched their produce before it got to their kitchen, and saw those people coughing into their hands, etc, etc, they would never eat any produce raw without disinfecting it. Organic or not.

    And no matter how treated the water out of your faucet is, washing the produce in that water will do absolutely nothing to kill bacteria and viruses.

    Totally agree...better safe than sorry....      the handlers and pickers here are out in the field with an outhouse!!  How much trouble is it to just disinfect your food??     To each his own..........

    I use Microdyn to soak things like blueberries, grapes, and strawberries. This supposedly gets rid of harmful bacteria. I add a few drops of bleach to maybe kill amoebas. Things like papaya, apples, oranges, tomatoes, and avocados I scrub with detergent and a brush on my doctors orders. I don't go near raspberries and blackberries. Bananas I just peel. Some things like pineapples are difficult to deal with-just rinse with clean water and peel? Salad making I buy the prewashed packages of lettuce and things. 

    Agree....but even re-wash the salad ingredients....   Raspberries I use Microdyne...just for a short period...then freeze or use...they are never ever mushy!!

    Here in the city of San Luis Potosi and the connected city of Soledad the local news has several times over the years I have lived here in Soledad reported that the market gardens have been fined for tapping into the black water, raw sewage, going to one of the sewage treatment plants to irrigate their fields. Evidently the fines and consequences are cheaper than paying for municipal wáter when it is not the rainy season and keep repeating the offense and has been ongoing for a long time. They grow peppers, squash, pumpkins, strawberries, lettuce, carrots, potatoes, flowers, onions, turnips etc. Use a antibacterial wash please. You never know. No one I know here doesn´t. We use Microdyn.

    Yes to Microdyn...but even vinegar or mild diluted Clorox is better...than nothing!!!

    I soak nearly everything in Clorox water - cheap, fast (only 3-4 minutes) you don't use much, and it works. I've never had berries turn to mush. I soak briefly in Clorox water and rinse in vinegar water to retard any mold. They last for a week or two.

    Trust a spray from Walmart? ROTGL

    I soak everything!!  But not onions....they are peeled....and even soak potatoes, etc that will be boiled...l    I am prone to digestive upset..and wash at home NOB too....esp. Driscoll berries from here!!     

    My motto:

    Boil it, peel it, or forget it....       

    Especially here where water is not as reliably safe as NOB..Canada specifically, not Flint Michigan!!  

     

    Having taken a food safety course recently for Hospice volunteering, it is highly recommended to 'treat' your food.......just sayin.......

  7. Strangely enuf we were just told today to get this RFC..re selling property with no Cap Gains....and have our Curp# and Permanentes...so will start this process...like all of the above, we too thought we had things all settled and in place..but they have to keep people employed I guess!!  :) Hopefully the lawyer will step us thru........worth the extra cost..to us...as we have poor Spanish and don't want to do it incorrectly...by messing up.  But this post has been most informative........  

  8. Hi Spencer...I was sure I had this article printed off in my files...but can't find it now.  I have tried to print it from here but it is 42 pages...all in a long column.  Is there any way you can post it or just send it PM to me in a regular  and printable format?

    I'd much appreciate it..........thank you......... Gail

  9. Sorry but after yesterdays meeting we were clearly told to HAND THE INM OFFICER OUR PERMANENTE CARD FIRST..THEN THE PASSPORT.... 

    MARK ON THE CARDS IN BOLD LETTERS...RESIDENTE PERMANENTE...then they take the portion they need..you keep one!

    This whole issue was discussed yesterday...no changes since 2012, and the above is not clear and further muddies the issue IMO.

     

    Yes I did use that term..cards...but also said there were 2 parts to it...but thanks for the observation...I believe I know the correct way to get thru Immigration when I leave soon.
