Warning To All Travellers

Knowing what I do now, I wish I’d have read a post about medical insurance abroad sooner. But no, instead I was bogged down with work and looking at bad credit credit cards and monitoring who was eligible for even more credit. Had I researched medical insurance properly before I went to Spain, I am sure I’d be a lot better off now.

I was just walking down one of those typically bumpy Spanish streets when the accident happened. I was fine one moment, then the next thing I knew I was on the ground with a rather large bone sticking out of my shin. I remember laughing because it looked comical. Then I stopped laughing, the pain smacked me around the chops and I was sick everywhere.

In hospital it was all sorted quite soon and I was soon sent home. I thought that the papers I had signed meant I was covered and wouldn’t have to pay for more than a night’s board and breakfast.

How I was wrong! Instead, the contract said that I owed the hospital about 5 thousand Euros. I’d only been in Spain 2 days and then I was out for the count. Some cheap holiday that turned out to be…

Always read the contract you have with your health insurer is what I am saying. It may seem trivial while you’re all excited and thinking it can’t happen to me, but believe me it won’t when you’re surrounded by Spaniards with a jagged white bone sticking out of your leg…

Garlic for Yeast Infection

I recent heard a friend of mine who visited me at home talk about having to have her only son do a hair drug test to see if he has been doing drug for a long time. It is so hard to believe almost like the fact that many women have yeast infection. For some reason I thought it was only me until I went to my doctor. He also suggested garlic as a natural remedy for yeast infection. So just in case you ladies don’t know here what you ought to know. We all have an yeast called “Candida Albicans” in various parts of our body, especially the mouth, vagina, anus and gut to name a few. This otherwise friendly fungus can often overgrow and cause severe infections signified by severe itching. There are a lot of natural remedies such as yoghurt, tea tree oil, boric acid, cranberry juice, Calendula and Camomile. The most effectively natural remedy is the use of garlic in treating these yeast infections. Garlic is readily available and it also provides instant relief to the sufferer. It is loaded with anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which are the best enemies for yeast.

You can either buy garlic capsules from the pharmacy or use fresh garlic for this purpose. Fresh garlic can either be used orally or topically. For oral consumption, it is best if you first peel the garlic and then mince them using a knife. Next, take a glass of your favorite juice in one hand a teaspoon containing the minced garlic. Put the minced garlic in your mouth and gulp it down with your favorite drink! For topical usage simply put a freshly cut piece of the garlic in the yeast infected area and see the results immediately.

The NHS

The NHS

People in the United Kingdom don’t really have a good grasp of what life would be like without the NHS. They don’t understand the struggle that people in the rest of the world have to deal with. It isn’t as easy as everybody getting their own global sim for health services. I was lucky, of course, I was forewarned and had great travel insurance that covered my medical bills. A friend of mine, however, wasn’t so lucky, broke her wrist in Florida and came home with a bill for five thousand pounds. My other friend can’t travel, because she is too old and can’t get proper travel insurance. Introducing competition into health care is barbaric. There are some things that should not be done at a profit. People should not profit from the health or ill health of others. I realize that we can’t completely reverse the route that drug companies have gone down, making millions from disease and misfortune. Think about it though? What if our universities became ’the'place for the development of the best drugs and technology? If University of Liverpool developed a cure for cancer? Not only would it save the world, and possibly some money for the NHS, but it could completely shift the paradigm. At the moment there is some completely muddled thinking about the role that university education plays in our national life. It is simply insane to think that a good eduction only benefits the student and has no value for the greater society.
