Title: No Injections??? Post by: greg on January 22, 2001, 05:00:00 AM Wow!!! I was shocked to recently learn that alot of the Filipinas never receive their Meningtis injection(without this shot; blindness, deafness and death can happen), no Polio shot, etc etc. It's important that we make sure our Mahals get all necessary shots, Plus a full health checkup. My Mahal told me that in the past the Government gave the shots free, but no more. Ahhhhhh, I asked her to have this taken care of immediately. BTW, I traveled to many Deaf Christian Churches in the Philippines, there are countless Deaf Filipinos(they became deaf from this Meningtis spinal cord disease). It's a common practice for all babies born in the States to receive all infection shots especially meningtis, the Filipinas never receive these important shots. greg

Vaccination against hemophilus (which is only one of the many many viruses and bacteria that may cause meningitis) has been introduced in the US only a few years ago. I am not surprised that it isn't done in the Philippines (or most European Countries for that matter). Polio also has become controversial. There are only a handful of Polio cases in the US per year, and each and everyone caused by the Polio vaccine itself! Other than that I agree with your post. Vaccination is extremely important!!!

Polio Vaccination caused Polio in USA?? What other important Vaccinations would you recommend for our Mahals? Hemophilus, Polio Vaccinations and What else??? thanks, greg Title: Re: Re: Re: No Injections???

Well no, I would not recommend hemophilus except for children. Polio is controversial: the public benefit (of preventing an epidemic) may outweight the very real vaccination risk to the unlucky few.... If your mahal hasn't had her childhood disease she should get MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Rubella can cause very serious birth defects if she catches it during pregnancy, so rubella is a must! Tetanus and diphteria are important and should be refreshed every 10 years!!! Have you had your DT within the last 10 years? You should! Title: Doctor in the House??

Hi! Dr Dave H, Can you kindly put your Doctor profession to good use? Are there additional Health Injections an Adult Pinay may need?

What about anti-flatulence medication. In America, gas, like any other by-products, must be retained until there is an available proper disposal site (in this case, a "comfort room"). It isn't always easy for some people including myself. We could probably all use some of Dr. Methane's advice and help. - Kevin Title: Replace your carpet with a hardwood floor...

Hi Greg, I am not a "real" medical doctor and only play one on TV. :o) Sorry, I couldn't resist. I am not really sure what vaccines they receive in the PI. It is probably based on wealth and/or available public health services. I will talk to my fiancee (a real RN) and get back to you. Is this for immigration purposes or for health concern reasons?

Hi! Dave, I was shocked that my Mahal informed me that she never received any Health Vaccinations. I asked her to go for a full health checkup and get all necessary Vaccinations. It's only for her own Health; You know better safe than sorry. I think all Guys should make sure their Mahals receive a complete checkup and vaccinations. I just want feedback on all Vaccinations available in the Philippines, so I can tell her incase the Doctor there miss anything. Yeah, please ask your wife for information.

Dr. Methane accepts barter in the form of natural gas. Most of us in colder climates are aware of the natural gas shortage and skyrocketing prices. - Kevin Title: Re: Re: Doctor in the House?Ray Post by: greg on January 24, 2001, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Doctor in the House?, posted by Ray on Jan 23, 2001
