Should it be with recipe from doctor or you can buy it for yourself?

I know some vegetarians here, but there's no any vegetarian/vegan

organization, so I'm trying to create one now.

Way to go Sergio!! :-)))) Have you seen the International

Vegetarian Union website? It has multi-lingual resources.

In North America, we can buy it for ourselves without the

doctor's prescription. Here, if there is none on the shelf of

the pharmacy, one can ask the pharmacist to bring it in. Even

health food stores often have it. Hopefully, it will be as easy

for you there too. I have heard from vegan penpals in Italy and

Germany that it is no problem getting it in those countries at

least.

Excellent! Have you heard of Earthsave? They offer educational

materials to members who want to start their own local

organizations.
