the practice of using antibiotics without a correct diagnosis and using tablets from a holiday makers left over supply is dangerous.
I understood from previous posts that they were in fact seen by a health professional and that in the case of Reiki at least that they leave full courses to be used instead of paying for the drugs at the apotik.
I am now confused by conflicting information from both yourself and Smudge.
There are already serious problems in developing countries.
I admire your resolve regarding the charity you support but the drug issue has serious long term and even maybe short term implications.
Anyway it would seem that some think I am attacking the charity, of course I am not, that is silly. I am attacking a practice of abuse of antibiotics, here and in Bali.
Here is a link for you scully.
It makes interesting reading, there are many others and scientific and medical journals are full of ways of re educating patients and GP's and doctors in the developing world.
