Hey Shan! Thanks for the recommendation. Do you know where the clinic is exactly so other people could find it (in case they also get parasites and/or need Colufase)?

$10 Doctors office visit at Waldos, outside of Quito. He is an American Doctor from San Diego, CA. He is very personable and has a beautiful clean clinic. His name is Dr. Lance. He prescribed the same medicine to me and my family.

From Jonathan:
I’m not sure what the actual make up is of Colufase, and I’m not a doctor. So this is just advice from a friend.

But I know that within 3 days (6 pills) of taking Colufase, I was feeling much better from the icky stomach parasite I had which didn’t go away for two weeks prior.

Hope that’s helpful.

Thanks!

I’m in Quito now and a friend recommended that I take Colufase for the same reason. Your doctor didn’t do a blood culture, did he? Is a friends recommendation enough to go by when taking a foreign drug? I’m pretty desperate so I’ll try anything.

It was definitely cheap I thought, and I’ve since found out that since it’s a private practice, $40 is what they charge everyone, even locals. I was happy for the inexpensive and effective prescription as well.

Wow! That’s cheap for an obvious “tourist” to the doctor’s office.
In America–$100-$125 for sure, and the pills would have been at
least $2.50-$6 PER PILL!!

Yep. 100% better. 3 days of Colufase (1 pill every 12 hours – 6 pills total) and I’m back to good! We miss you too! When are you coming to visit us? We have 2 bedrooms here in Quito… hint, hint…

Will do in a bit, but remind me if you don’t see it within the next 3 weeks.

So you’ve got to explain (or make another post) about what you said:

“I’ve been able to see them (and I’ve been helping my body fight them) when I close my eyes. That’s a whole other topic for a different post)”"
