Last caul for Guatamaula

March 8, 2009

Good morning,

On Friday morning I'm leaving for a 9 day mission trip in Guatemala. Until then

I'll be in the other Washington (DC) for a bike summit, so I wanted to ask a few

last minute questions in case there's anyone on this list who's been on a

similar trip. For most of the trip we'll be in Antigua sightseeing, the actual

mission work (3days) will be in a remote town called San Lucas Toliman. Here's

what I'm wondering about....

The trip leaders recommend bringing all kinds of disinfectant and

anti-diarhetics (sp?). I'm going on the assumption that my immune system is

exceptionally strong, but I don't know how strong. Should I bring this stuff as

a precaution? Are there other precautions I can take to avoid chemical drugs

and disinfectants? (I respect the leaders' legitimate concern that if I'm sick

I can't help with the work).

What foods are safe to eat without undue risk of gastric disaster? I figure

anything with a disposable skin is OK. Anything else? Are there local delights

I should look for?

I got my shots, all but the Hep A. Are there any precautions I should take to

avoid getting that?

I appreciate any help anyone can offer. I'll report back when I return on Mar

24.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Nick,

You might want to give Chrysalis Yashpal Jayne, ND a call http://Yashpal.com

He travels quite a bit in the tropics, as well as all over. He has

me on Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS) regiment and that may or may

not be of use to you as it supposedly works on bacteria, pathogens,

viruses. http://miraclemineral.org

Anybody else have experience with MMS?

Cheers!

Hi Nick,

A common " natural " prevention for gastric problems during travel to

third-world countries is probiotic prophylaxis. I suspect the best

thing to do is just eat simply before and during your travels, all

live plant-based foods, preferably mono, and not overeating. This

would help your intestines build and maintain a stronger flora. I

suspect heavier foods (nuts and seeds) would not be ideal. Having said

that, if someone felt a need to follow a probiotic protocol, but was

interested in a raw alternative to probiotic supplements, cultured

foods, such as cultured nuts/seeds (seed cheeses) and " milks " would be

an option. Naturopathic physicians may encourage one to bring

" natural " antibiotics along for the trip. I'd be curious to hear what

natural hygienists would say about it.

Oh, yeah... and rejuvelac may also provide natural (not encapsulated/

processed) probiotics.

Hi Nick. I haven't been to Guatemala but I have traveled with Seattle

Peace Chorus to Russia, Chile and Cuba. I didn't get any shots while

everybody else got them. I just kept quiet about it. I didn't get sick

during any of those trips. In Cuba we were told to brush our teeth with

bottled water. After a while I started brushing my teeth with tap water

and I was alright. I think eating simple helps. I went on a safari trip

in Kenya two years ago. Everybody except me took malaria pills. Most of

them took quinine. I ate any raw food I could find and didn't get sick

either. BTW, I had the best pineapple I've ever had in Kenya.

Helen,

Thanks very much for the advice. Sounds like your life is a wonderful

adventure. This is my first time out of the country. I'll file a report when I

get back.
