In Reply to: getting sick in Bali ... has anyone? posted by honey on Friday, 16. September 2005 at 09:23 Bali Time:
On about the third day of our trip in july my friend became very ill. We thought it was bali belly but he wasn't getting any better (after about 3 days). He was constatly vomiting and called a doctor to our room. He got an injection but didnt help. After another day went by we took him to the australian medical clinic. These people were fantastic and really helped him. They told us the medicine given to us by the legian medical centre was even doing him some harm!
What did i learn from this?
1. The australian medical clinic kicks ass, if you get sick go there
2. Dont hesistate to see a doctor asap when you start feeling ill
3. When your in bali take a vitamin C and Zinc tablet everyday (these help to keep your immune system at its peak)
4. Take some raspberry juice with you and have it every morning (prevents bali belly)
5. Dont go hard everyday all day - take some time to relax and let your body recover. Docs said this was a contributing factor to why my mate got sick
and finally
6. Drink lots of bintang, the alachol kills bad things in your body :P
