I've just received some interesting advice from my local Canadian health clinic: while travelling in Asia take Acidophilus pills (US$15) daily as a preventive to keep your immune system strong, and take daily doses of Citricidal (citrus extract US$14) to kill foreign germs and bacteria. Note these are natural not pharmaceutical medicines. We leave for Bali Monday and are also bringing immodium (anti-diarrhea pills) for use if necessary. And a month ago we received our tetanus/typhoid/hep shots (at which time I felt nothing but my husband nearly fainted.)
