Cures what ails you.........

We too, along with many of our friends are recovering from the recent bug that swept through Cuenca. I was told about this natural product when I asked some people what they recommended at the botica for a cold. This is more of a vitamin type application than "only when you are sick" type med.

You can take either 2 doses 12 hours apart or 1 double dose a day, every day for a month. You are then set for 3 months then you repeat the monthly dose, then 90 off, blah, blah you get it.

Birm is designed to strengthen your immune system and comes from the Orient region of Ecuador. $20 bucks for this bottle.It can be had at most pharmacies or boticas without a script.

I have to say this stuff makes you feel better, or it did for us.

Stay tuned.........J&D

Dragons Blood

This is "Sangre de Dragon" or Dragons Blood. You might remember reading about it when Chuck went to the Amazon (http://watsontravels.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html)

It is sap from a tree in the jungle. This little vile can be had for a couple bucks in the San Fransisco market. Look for the woman selling all sorts of traditional, natural medicines and various trinkets to ward off evil spirits.

I was somewhat skeptical until I used it. Only a small drop on a cut knuckle and it is healing fast.

I had the cut for a few days, repeatedly hitting it again and again, reopening it. After an application of Dragons Blood it felt better and low and behold scabbed over during the night.

You put a small drop on the spot and rub it in. It almost looks like soap as it turns white as you rub. It dries clear and is like a liquid skin that protects the area.

I am now a believer and will reach for this the need arises.

Until next time.........J&D
