[Gocamino] Health issues on the Caminos

[Tania A. Heinemann]

Let's not also forget that Spain has many wonderful Farmacia's offering 
homeopathics and supplements, all of which are very successful for many, 
many people :-)

The other thing is our frame of mind, if we anticipate ill-health, anxiety, 
etc. we WILL manifest this on our Camino, whereas if we let go and let 
ourselves heal, from the inside-out, wonderful things can happen! (ie 
placebo affect, body, mind & spirit connection, etc)

Hello to all--Spain and France are first world countries with excellent 
medical systems and very well trained physicians.  I have personal 
experience of this excellent care in France, where I had what turned out to 
be a minor but annoying health problem.  I know that both countries 
substiantially subsidize health care, and even not knowing the language 
shouldn't be a real obstacle if one needs to see a doctor.  Most educated 
people know some English, and we of course should know some Spanish and/or 
French before we go.

Seeing one's own physician before departure is a really good idea if one has 
ongoing medical issues.
