POSSIBLE AVAILABILITY OF OLMESARTAN THROUGH A NEW ZEALAND COMPOUNDING PHARMACY
I have been having discussion with a few compounding pharmacies in New Zealand with a view to having one ( and only one - becuase of the the small numbers of patients) stock bulk olmesartan for supply to the New Zealand MPers. I have located suitable bulk stocks in Australia and have confirmed that the NZ compounders are able to import such stocks from this Australian source.
However this becomes a chicken and egg problem - the NZ compounder will not import in bulk unless they are reasonably assured that at least 10 or more people would start to use the service. The single disadvantage is that the product would only be supplied in gel cap capsules - so they cannot be sucked or cut in half, as is the case with the tablets imported from Germany.
The other stumbling block is of course price - unless we get a commitment from NZers to use this supplier if it became available, we might not be able to get the price down to something comparable to the present German source ( though without the hassle of personal importation)
Could those who would be willing to support this approach let me know by personal message

Some other helpful info for new NZ MPers. You can buy Noirs from the Foundation for the Blind via their website

Admin add: from PROTECTING YOUR EYES
You will want the style that fits your head best to block the most light.
You will need at least two pair of NoIRs: They are
-amber 2% (these are the darkest)for outdoor use
-amber 10% (these are medium) for indoor use
It is a good idea to purchase a third pair when you can graduate to using less eye protection. These are the:
-amber 40% (these are the lightest)
These are the specifications to ask for.
dark amber for outdoors
100% UV Protection.
100% Blue Light Protection (the amber is the blue block)
100% Infrared Protection
2% visible light for outdoors
medium amber for indoors
100% UV Protection.
100% Blue Light Protection (the amber is the blue block)
100% Infrared Protection
10% visible light for indoors

it gets to NZ usually in less than one week. email them your rx, cc details, address and order the votum or olmetec from them. be sure to order less than 100 tablets or else customs will seize them.

Make sure to be safe to start the Marshall Protocol by having an adequate supply of Benicar on hand and your doctor's permission to increase to 40mg every four hours if symptoms become intolerable. Please discuss this issue with your Dr before you begin.

Hello fellow New Zealanders,
I have just joined this site feeling excited.
Not sure whether this is a right place to post this kind of message but time will tell.
For some time I have been suspecting that I might have CFS although it might be relatively mild(?) one if so as I have had reletively active life style except the flu-like symptoms here and there. Whenever I am sick with flu-like symptoms I just don't know what to do with it as all the test my GP has done came back pretty normal range. Apparantly I am perfectly normal in every aspect.
And my GP thinks I am either depressed and need more regular excercise or my immune system may be low thus I get run down easily etc. I do get sick once or twice a month and it lasts three to seven days at times. However this time I have been sick for a whole month and had to drag myself to work every day with the usual lie of "flu". It was not a pretty time.
Funny thins is that I don't usually get the typical cold or flu like everyone else's getting. It's always the same whenever I am; feeling the chill, no energy, low motivation, very grumpy, depressed, body aches, headaches, back pain, light fever, hot and cold easily, sweat, and lots of mouth ulcers...and feeling miserable.
I really want to try 25-D and 1,25-D blood test to see if the numers will tell something about this but a bit reluctant to bring this up to my GP due to the past experience.
So I am wondering...
if there is anyone out there in Auckland(I live in Mt Eden) area perhaps I can share(?) the GP who is already supportive of MP? It might save time and pain of trying to convince my GP, also whoever GP is he/she would be able to use resources better while serving more than one patient.
If this sounds liek you, would you please contact me via PM please???
Thanks in advance, and hope the good progress everyone.

Here is the address of the pharmacy I emailed you about before.
http://www.pillz.org/buy/benicar.html
I think I worked out the cost to be $NZ 250.00 per month but im feeling unwell & not thinking straight so check it out.
I definitely would be interested in buying it in NZ for a lower price but whether this is a reputable firm I dont know.
Pharmaceutical Compounding is a company Ive bought drugs and supplements from for about 4 years. They are very good maybe you'd like to try them.
Their phone number is 094421727

Jean

Do NOIRs protect against UVB, and UVA as well as infra red rays? I have seen so much information scattered through this web site and not all in one place - Im a bit confused. It appeard that NOIRs protect only against infra red light.

Hi Aussie Barb, No, My question has not been answered in the above threads or in the [url=A B C]A B C[/url] I know NOIRs protect against infra red light - but do they protect against UVA & UVB as well? A lot of the info seems to suggest that they do; but doesn't specifically say so as far as I can see.
Ive asked the equipment people at the foundation for The Blind and even they couldnt tell me straight off but are going to have to get back to me.
I urgently need the answer so I can be prepared to start my treatment as my health is going down fast.
Thanks - Jean

The info is on the NoIR website. The glasses we use proved "100% UV protection"

| What is the actual price per pill? Can you tell us where you buy it at the moment because my doctor is ready to start the protocol with me but we dont have a supplier yet.

Ive just been and checked their price and they are quite expensive about US $1.46 each

Hi Robert, Can you tell me where you get your olmesartan, (benicar, olmetec) I thought I could get it from Australia but The Cincotta Chemist online Pharmacy says they can only supply it when an Australian doctor prescribes it - which leaves me out in the cold.
