65 percent involved a drug not cannabis. 

 

you cannot link cannabis vs synthetic cannabis. i am pretty sure the synthetic cannabis is quite dangerous and has all kinds of non cannabis chemicals in it. 

 

i could be wrong but i bet it can be equated to street mdma vs lab made medical grade mdma. the synthetic cannabis in these cases is probably very very dirty stuff. 

 

so they are really comparing apples to oranges in a sense. 

Not being a weed smoker I had no idea there was a difference.

So this stuff they sell in shops in Pattaya Phuket etc is what they call "synthetic" it's not real natural marijuana?

Thought it was about housing market… or used cars

Unfortunately some people are picked to be on Court juries deciding someone's future ????

I rarely go to Bangkok but will this time for a week

Im looking for second hand markets that sell secondhand goods , clothing , phones etc 

Please tell me if I heard this right .

Last few months had problems with Liver in that a blood test said my liver enzymes were high around 80 usually they are like 20 or something

But anyway was very worried about it had ultrasound etc nothing showed 

Anyway to cut a long story short I recently saw a Specialist doctor who mumbled along with his Chinese accent

He looked at my latest liver blood tests and said these are back to normal and said I think anyway something along that I had had the Hepatitis B antibodies but because I had been vaccinated years ago the antibody was there and had been fighting it raising my liver enzymes up during that period.

I couldn't hear him right because he had his face in the computer mumbling.

So did I interpret this right?

I had caught hep B in the last few months but the vaccination stopped the antibodies but raised my liver enzymes??

I just had right side abdo pain ,all the tests find nothing !

Yesterday got a bone density scan it found rib and back problem so that may be radiating to your abdo area 

Get a bone density scan 

Have you tried the other forum the addicts one?

georgegeorgia , you want to increase your testerone ..... just the other day you were complaining

you had a bad back .....

 

regards worgeordie

Unfortunately still a bad lower back , with slight angle, couldn't be bothered with a MRI 

The Testereone may give me more strength and energy 

Actually bad backs osteo are caused by low test if you google it 

I must of had low testosterone for years that's why I have scoliosis or osteoarthritis or whatever it I have

Tim Sharky Wards long lost son maybe

Is he still around? 

Someone reported he had lost the muscle body ?

A friend in Australia went to one of these TRT clinics they gave him testereone injections BUT also gave him medication for breast cancer that blocks estrogen ,however his GP advised him not to take the estrogen blockers !

Please advise guys should you take these estrogen blocker medicine with TRT or not ???

I know I need 125ml per week at 62yo

However I'm scared of needles ,so perhaps someone would know where I could get the injection done ?

Also I do prefer to see a GP before administratiing this I'm told there are a few good ones in Bangkok and Pattaya

No affiliation other than a customer. Pricing seems controversial. Was not pressured to sign up for a package - I had the blood tests done and two consultations with Tim Lopez..

I guess if your new to it .

But at the same time instead of paying the $392 they want for a blood test couldn't you go to a blood test clinic ?

Going by this forum and I don't know it seems that testereone injections are over the counter and no prescription required in Thailand,is that correct?

He only went there for 5 days to get face tattoos???

Most do specialists do not recommend HCG, unless you are going to have babies in future. The side effects vs benefits is not there two independent at Anti aging wellness center st Bangkok Hospital and Maximum in Pattaya. In my opinion they should know what they talking about.

The testereone clinics I imagine charge a arm n leg for the treatment.

I know in Australia they charge like 10 times the price of a normal prescription but unfortunately many have to use them because they cannot access thru their local GP who most cases refuse to prescribe it.

I don't know the cost of this Maximum clinic I imagine in the 60k range , couldn't you just go to a doctor in Pattaya or Bangkok get your test blood levels checked and buy it over the counter yourself?

Funnily enough I have no memory of it from the time it was released.  I've only ever heard of it in Asia.

 

Apparently it only reached 26 in the UK, so that might be why.

I'm playing it now on YouTube, oh the memories!

We’ve had a couple of incidents over the years.  And we know who.  Stainless on all 1st floor windows and sliders, plus some 2nd floor.  Motion sensors along sides of house, coordinated with 10 CCTV cameras.  Deadbolts on some doors.  Perimeter fencing with stainless steal points.  And yes, I worked in the industrial security field in America.  Sure anyone can get in if they really want to.  But if they survive—they’ll do time in prison.

You live in a farmhouse type area or neighbours next door ?

I'm a bit surprised to say the least but if as you say you had a couple of incidents.

Do we have any Philippines expats here ?

Do you feel safe where you live ?

Have you considered getting together with @GammaGlobulin and making a podcast?

 

You could talk about all the random stuff you think of questions about.

 

The theme tune could be Lemon Tree by Fools Garden.

Lemon Tree song brings back old memories, I think it was late 90's song or early 2000's , haven't heard it for years 

I know the OP is not in Pattaya but I have worked out a budget for a single farang living in a condo in Pattaya without insurance, please tell me if it's right and anything I left out 

Monthly budget 

studio Condo jomtien 10k

Electric 2k 

Water 500

Transport 500 ,motorbike taxi,bus etc 

Food supermarket 8000

Internet cable 2k

Entertainment 5k

Other expenses - 3k, gym , medical etc etc 

30,000 baht 

A terrible tragedy !

About time Thailand especially Phuket who get a lot of Aussie tourists have proper jail procedures and social workers and counselling on hand to supervise these poor kids who end up intoxicated

Are you sure you will be fit enough to travel ? , maybe you should get those things

done in Oz , and get well then come here to party....

 

regards worgeordie

Unfortunately I'm forced to travel to Thailand because of the incompetent fools who run the expensive Australian medical system that have no interest in curing people like me !!

Maybe if they done their job and actually investigate my medical diseases I wouldnt be forced to travel to Asia for treatment!!!!

I have more or less given up on the normal medical system and turning to traditional medicine for my diabetes,liver , back & arm pain , kidney pain etc 

And God help those Australians who are using the public health system, I'm using expensive private paying doctors and they still do nothing !!
