Looking for distilled water

Does anyone know if one can buy distilled water in Cuenca? Surely the hospitals have to use it in their autoclaves. Distilled water differs from bottled water in that it has had all minerals removed. I can, of course, make my own, but it would make me much happier to be able to buy it if it’s available anywhere. I’ve asked at Coral, Supermaxi, and a lot of pharmacies, to no avail.

Chelation – out with the bad, in with the good

Chelation Therapy is thought to improve health by biochemically improving bodily harmony. It is an amazing therapy that:

• Is safe and effective
• Draws out toxins, metabolic waste, and unnecessary and toxic metals from the bloodstream
• Increases blood circulation
• Restores proper blood circulation to the tissues of the body
• Reduces internal inflammation caused by free radicals – which can help prevent angina, heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension.
• Can ease the discomfort and disability from degenerative disease
• Can improve memory, eyesight, hearing, smelling, vigor and stamina.
• Can improve breathing capacity and function for sufferers of lung conditions.

It travels in the blood through the entire body, where it causes many changes and benefits to occur, then it is passed out through the kidneys within 24 hours.

Chelation Therapy could help you with your medical and health problems.

Schedule your in-home IV on the day and time that suits you best

Cost of IV $80 + $5.00 transportation fee.

Full lymph drainage massage – 90-minute session

Did you know that the lymphatic system helps your body eliminate toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials?

A healthy lymphatic system can usually do this without a problem, but certain health conditions and physical damage can cause fluid buildup.

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle massage to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs.

Usually, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a deep tissue treatment applied by pressure using long upward strokes over your body. It aims to increase your lymphatic system flow, flush toxins from your body, promote relaxation, and reduce swelling.

Conditions that benefit from lymphatic drainage massages are:
• Rheumatoid arthritis is ongoing arthritis in your joints causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
• Fibromyalgia: This condition causes chronic muscle and joint pain.
• Chronic venous insufficiency: This happens when your leg veins aren’t working effectively, making it hard for your blood to return to your heart from your legs.
• Lipedema happens when excess fat accumulates in your lower body, blocking your lymphatic pathway and causing lymphedema.

Yes, this wine is the most popular wine in Cuenca.

So, after Cuenca ran out, we searched all over Ecuador to get you some.
We have the last 15 bottles currently available for purchase. These will go quickly.

As we had to pay a lot more in freight to consolidate from the different locations across Ecuador the price is $17.95 per bottle.

We have been assured that these bottles are the absolute last available for purchase at the moment.

Recommendation for Alex Mejia, computer repair – IT guy

I recently installed an update on my MacBook Pro and was horrified to watch it crash and burn. It was relatively new and I did not have everything backed up as I should have. I know, I know, I’m a complete idiot. I went into full panic mode and reached out to every single person I knew for help. I had things on my computer that I absolutely could not lose.

I ended up with four recommendations and two locations. The first three people that looked at it said nothing could be done and that a “factory reset” was my only option. I was devastated. And then Alex Mejia walked through my door, and saved me. I could not possibly recommend someone more.

He came to my home and went above and beyond to fix my computer. He speaks perfect English and patiently answered every single question I asked. He even stayed afterwards and adjusted some of my settings to ensure that I would never lose anything again.

I know a lot of you already know him because I recently discovered that he is a former “Best of GringoPost” winner. But for those of you that don’t, save his name and contact information. You just never know when you’ll need a great tech guy. (If you’re reading this Alex, thank you thank you thank you, I am forever indebted to you.)

Saturday Morning Language Exchange is back!

We are very happy to announce you that our Saturday Language Exchange is back with new activities and conversation games!

We kindly invite you to join our language exchange group Spanish-English/English-Spanish. The sessions are aimed at people willing to improve their conversational skills putting them into practice in a realistic environment and with native speakers.

The sessions are guided by a bilingual facilitator (a teacher with extensive experience in the field) who proposes the activities and conversation topics.

It involves several people whose native language is English and several people whose native language is Spanish. We get together so that the former can practice Spanish and the later can practice English.

Apart from the language learning, the sessions bring an excellent opportunity to meet and interrelate with local people while engaging into the city cultural activities.

Therefore, this language exchange complements formal language learning. It mainly serves for putting oral language skills into practice. Additionally, it constitutes a good opportunity to experience and gain an insight into aspects of Ecuadorian culture and Cuenca local life.
