Are your Medications Available in Ecuador?

Want to move to Ecuador…but not sure if the meds you need are available here?

For some it would be a nightmare not being able to get a supplement in time of need. The lgd 4033 is widely recommended by physicians because it doesn’t come with any major side-effects. Unlike the regular steroid that takes you along a risky path, Ligandrol doesn’t have any major side-effect even when you’re battling out a pre-existing ailment. The dosage is simple, and since the medication is widely available anyone can take it. LGD-4033 is also known for increasing the overall T-levels in our system. The T-Level, on the other hand, is popular for promoting growth and development in muscles. As is the case with most opioids, kratom withdrawal likely begins with agitation, watery eyes, anxiety, sweating, a runny nose, insomnia, and muscle aches. The stenabolic can have remarkable health benefits for people suffering from diabetes, high cholesterol, and people who are at a greater risk of having heart attacks or other heart diseases. Because of the ability of SR9009 to improve the performance of your muscles, the supplement is very helpful for trainers and athletes for achieving their desired fitness performance. The kratom withdrawal can be minimized and the side effects regulated through a medical detoxification program that accounts for all the genetic, biological, and environmental factors during treatment. According to a study from PubMed, Ligandrol significant enhances the lean mass of your body, by offering the same beneficial effects as the naturally found androgen hormones. Some of these effects include higher energy production and quicker blood circulation. One of the biggest side-effects of steroids is prostate cancer. However, such is not the case with LGD-4033. Since this is a selective product, it will only affect certain specific tissues of your body like your bones, and muscles. You have a peek here for more detail about crazybulk supplement. Over time, it will reduce the possibilities of muscle waste ailments like cancer, or osteoporosis in these specific areas. Additionally, once you start using Sunergetic Products Blood Sugar Support supplements, the effects of other steroids won’t affect you either. Therefore there’ll be absolutely no risks of acne, hair loss, high blood pressure or water retention. Kratom is an herbal leaf with medicinal properties that grows from a large tree called Mitragyna speciosa. This tree is native to countries in Southeast Asia particularly Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand. The locals use kratom in various ways: as a stimulant, a sedative, pain reliever, medicine for diarrhea, anti-depressant, or as opium substitute. Kratom is ingested either by chewing, drinking (grinding the leaves into tea powder or mixing with coffee) and smoking. You can get more info here about kratom. Borneo is reputed to be the world’s most populated island, but can the Red Borneo kratom which it produces also prove to be world-beating? In this article, we will delve into Red Borneo kratom and discover how it stacks up in the kratom world. Should you try it, and is it any good?  Long before anyone knew about Kratom, people were using it in the South East Asia regime for many centuries. By the time its popularity started spreading to the Western market, the locals were well ahead of everybody in the growing, harvesting, and processing techniques of the plant. Even now, no kratom can equal the quality of that obtained from these Asian resorts. One big reason is the unique tropical climate and soil quality that ensures exceptional kratom quality. The indo kratom that is grown displays 3 main types or strains. These are the green, red, and white vein kratom strains. You can tell this by looking at the color of the stems or the veins of the leaves. Each different color brings you a different effect and experience due to a unique mix and concentration level of compounds. But the distinction of kratom strains goes beyond color and includes the location from where it is obtained. Even though they all come from the South Eastern Asian tropical region, the exact location where the Kratom grows gives birth to the distinct strains that we use. Hence Red Borneo, which comes from Borneo in Indonesia, may differ from other red strains such as Red Bali or Red Maeng Da. 

When kratom is used in low doses, it can substantially reduce fatigue and induce a feeling of mild euphoria. Although kratom in low doses is not known to interfere with a person’s daily activities, kratom users are advised to not perform any action that requires their full attention, such as driving or handling heavy machinery. Kratom contains epicatechin, an anti-oxidant. It also includes alkaloids that are said to have positive effects on a person’s immune system. Kratom has also been found effective in lowering blood pressure.

The main active ingredient in kratom is mitragynine, and it is known to affect a person’s mood and anxiety levels, thus acting as an anti-depressant. The same ingredient is also known to alleviate pain. There are also reports of people with hay fever getting well after kratom use. Many people also claim that using kratom helped them get better from a number of different illnesses, and appears to have various medicinal uses.

Fortunately, Ecuador is loaded with most of the medications you can find in the U.S.…and many generic knock offs which probably would not be permitted Stateside.

Business Opp in Ecuador: Vacation Rentals

By Domenick Buonamici

Low maintenance. Low effort (most times). Good return… I like vacation rentals, especially the siesta keys vacation rentals on the beach which I so frequently travel to.

Ecuador is great for vacation rental businesses because it has a constant year-round flow of tourists, little competition (as of yet), and you can buy in relatively cheaply.

For example, many charge over $50USD a night for their rental, and you can buy a decent condo in Ecuador in many places for under $40k…with a 50% occupancy…if you do the math, you’ll see in the above example you’d be making around 30% annual return on investment.

Of course, this is an oversimplified example, as a lot of factors will determine your ultimate success or not with this business, but just wanted to give you something to think about and give you a few pointers I’ve learned in the trenches…


A few things I’ve learned:

-Buy a “Keyless entry” system in the US and install it once in Ecuador. With it, all you do is give people the password to get in, and you can change it with your property manager at any time. WAY easier than trying to get people the keys (and getting them back when they leave!) They start around $170 and can be found in many Home Depot-type stores.


-Promote yourself heavily online.
There are no walk ups in this business. You probably won’t even have a sign on the door. So be sure to promote heavily through not only offline sources like local realtors, but also online through both third party websites and your own website… to learn step by step how I promote my vacation rental businesses in Ecuador see my new eCourse here.


-Property management is key.
A good property manager to clean and handle problems that may arise is important. For recommended property management companies in Ecuador and other high quality professionals check back for the newsletter next week when I introduce my new Ecuador Expert Directory.

-Don’t get too far off the beaten path. You can get off the beaten path and still get business, but I have seen vacation rental businesses do better when they are firmly on the beaten (travel) path, albeit with more competition.

-Don’t limit yourself to the coast. I’d say 90% of the people I talk to on the site are interested in buying near the beach in Ecuador. That’s fine, the coast is great, but remember that’s only one third of Ecuador, (the Coast, Andes and the Amazon) and all three parts see heavy amounts of travelers (and have different peak seasons).

Ecuador vs Hawaii: Which is Right for You?

I spent a year of college at the University of Manoa in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Recently, this month, I went back for a weekend trip, so I thought I’d take the chance to compare life in Hawaii (a truly under-rated retirement destination) to my current home, Ecuador, where I have been on and off since 2005.

I love both places, but even though they may seem similar on the surface, they are very different. Both with their pros and cons, you just have to pick your poison, like picking between a blond and brunette.

Here they are, compared:

Costs: Ecuador wins. Ecuador food, housing, public transport, healthcare and real estate are all cheaper. No personal maids in Hawaii, but you do get the typical, comfortable American style of living you may be used to.

Food: Ecuador wins. Although I LOVE Hawaiian food, Ecuador has more variety and the food is far cheaper.

Weather: Hawaii wins. Hard to compete with 74-82F degrees year round. If you were to read tourism info for Hawaii, you’d know that Hawaii gets more sun than Ecuador but Ecuador has more climatic variety, cold mountain zones, spring-like valleys, the humid Amazon and the breezy coast.

Beaches: Hawaii wins. Hard to compete here with the breathtaking beachfront cliffs and sapphire blue waters of Hawaii. tourism info for HawaiiEcuador has more California style beaches with cliffs, golden sand and darker water.

People: Ecuador wins. Ecuadorian people love foreigners (especially ones from Europe, Australia and the USA) and treat them very well. In Hawaii, anyone not from Hawaii is a “Hawley” and in some of the smaller villages, local dislike for outsiders can be very apparent!

Attractiveness of the Women (and men): Hawaii wins. The surf culture of Hawaii has produced really beautiful people (both gals and guys) with cut up bodies. But Ecuador women are under-rated, many who come are pleasantly surprised. And they are more laid back and easy going than from many other Latin countries.

Real Estate: Ecuador wins. Hawaiian real estate boomed along with the mainland US from 2003-2006, and since has dropped considerably, making now an interesting time to buy. But Ecuador still wins this one!

Residency options: Hawaii wins. Obviously, being an American state, for American citizens, this one is a no brainer.

Business Opportunities: Ecuador wins. I can only speak from my own personal experiences, and Ecuador has treated me well although if you speak Japanese Hawaii might be a good place for you (there seems to be a large up-swing in Japanese tourism currently).

Healthcare: Ecuador wins. Unless you are on Medicare (which only would cover you while in the USA) Ecuador is the choice here for having much cheaper, yet still high quality options available.

Public Transport: Ecuador wins. In Ecuador buses are a quarter, and they are EVERYWHERE. Taxi fares start at $1. In Hawaii, there is a decent bus system (maybe better than ANYWHERE in the mainland US) but Ecuador still wins out here.

Expat Community: Hawaii wins. In Hawaii yo have something for everyone and people from all over the world, in Ecuador, it is still a little off the radar still.

Safety: Hawaii wins. Ecuador is safe, but being in the US, backed by the US legal system and laws, Hawaii has the edge on this one.

Hope that helps! Dom
