    Handling bed bugs

    Btw, I guess antibiotics would help too, but I’m not a fan of that

    Handling bed bugs

    Sounds crazy to regular medicin, but it has to do with frequency. Loading a certain frequency in my body through wire (attached to my body). Whatever the bugs have left in my underarms, it doesn’t like this frequency and therefor seems to leave. Although everything is frequency, so maybe not so...

    Handling bed bugs

    Thanks; I already did; unfortunately it’s not scabies. Alternative treatment is working though, hope to be rid of it soon

    Handling bed bugs

    Has tot do with frequencie. And it is working. After 2 days the most painfull itching was gone. The shallow itching is leaving as well. Am soooooo relieved after all these months

    Handling bed bugs

    I was hoping it was scabies but unfortunaltely it isn’t. My docter couldn’t help me but as stated someone in the alternative circuit is helping me. I’m sleeping again since almost 8 months, so there is a remedy. Itching is almost gone!

    Handling bed bugs

    I have definately not taken them home with me. For 8 months I havent gotten a new bite. The rash is old and just doesn’t heal, because there is something under my skin (you can even feel it when you softly go over my skin with your finger). Since I experienced them a few times on the trail I DO...

    Handling bed bugs

    Well over 6 months since being home, the bedbug bites still give me sleepless nights. It appeared they ARE capable of leaving eggs(?) under your skin. Regular doctors haven’t heard of it but thank God I found someone on the alternative path who is helping me getting rid of this problem and...

    New annual record number of Compostelas issued

    Another tip: go in around lunchtime. I was the only one at 12 at noon. Octobre 30 so not as busy as in high season but still 450 arriving pilgrims that day and not another one around at that time

    Steep declines

    Walked about the whole CF on Keen Sandals with good grip. Have had no problems whatsoever with any of the descends. It's very personal though, I even did one descend on my flipflops (Reefs with good grip) and passed some people who were wearing boots and were having problems. Could not have done...

    Where to turn to for medical help?

    Yes, I threw away my boots and bought Keens sandals (no heels) on which I have been walking almost the whole trail (boots only first 2 weeks until the problem started). They gave me a few more km's a day at the beginning but I seem to be back at 10-12 a day. I am averaging 15, thought that is...

    Where to turn to for medical help?

    Thanks so much for your extensive reply; sounds very sensible. Don't actually know what I was expecting and I guess you're right by sorting this out in my hometown. Tomorrow a day of rest and then very slowly to Santiago

    Where to turn to for medical help?

    I have a question concerning medical help. Where does one turn to? I went to the medical centre in Sarria to ask if they could check my heels (since a month they become painful everyday; the next morning it usually is okay but it starts again after about 10 km of walking). Seems reasonable to...
