Anthrax outbreak in Issan?
I have been to many slaughters of cows and buffaloes here in Isaan. If done in the village, a group of families will share the meat, and those doing the actual slaughtering will get some of the best parts. Best parts are, besides others, from the heart, part of the liver and the backside right before the tail, which will be eaten raw. Looking at the list of usual symptoms happening, I could guess, a lot of the often unexplained and rapidly deadly sick cases one hears about in the villages could be easily coming from this or one of the many other zoonotic diseases people pick up when they are in direct contact with sick animals and uncooked meat. Actually, the biggest risk in Isaan is not beef, but raw fish (liver cancer resulting from fish flukes is the most common reason for death in the over 60s age group in Isaan), not properly cooked crabs and of course improperly cooked pig. I basically know nobody who has not failry often a prophylactic intake of medicine against tape worms (as do I). I guess, just part of living an agrarian lifestyle. -

Finally identified my long-term illness (Bronchiectasis), thanks to Dr Google :)
I too have lost my confidence in allopathic docs these days. Eg, many years ago I started researching on COPD, and eventually came across NAC. Next time for a refill of my inhalers, I asked my doc about it, and he said it was a very good idea. Why on earth did he not suggest this himself many years earlier? Furthermore, I started using a lung exercise device, called Airofit, used by athletes as well as people with lung issues. I use this every day for about 15 mins. It has increased my lung capacity, and I am able to control my breathing extremely well. Again, I mentioned this to my doc, and he just said there are many similar devices in Thailand. So why did he not mention this a long time ago? The only thing he was good at was increasing the strength of my corticosteroids, which in fact, in retrospect was not necessary and in fact contributed to my bone loss. Allopathic medicine is great for acute problems, heart attacks, stroke, broken limbs, physical injuries, but metabolic problems they tend to use petrochemical warfare to stop the symptoms. The root cause seems to not be an issue. i have now found a holistic doctor who uses a completely different approach and I find myself actually healing. Yes, it takes longer time to get relief from the symptoms, but the end result is more of a cure than a bandaid. Symptoms are really the body communicating that something is wrong, by chopping off that communication line does not cure you. A new symptom elsewhere will pop up instead, often called a side effect of the petrochemical drug you were given in the first place. Best of luck to your journey of feeling better, the OPEP is certainly a good tool. The supplements I mentioned are excellent as well. -
