Hi All, My doctor wants me to get blood work done. For iron level specifically, but the general battery of tests would also be useful. Is there a LabCorp type of facility in Buenos Aires? A business that one can go to and get a blood test that measures for levels of various health...

So my doctor is pretty sure I have hemochromatosis. My blood iron level suddenly went up and I reduced the iron in my diet, to no real effect. A blood test revealed elevated levels of all things iron-related. I will take the gene test in the US, but since I now live in BA, I will have to...

I scoured the forum and could not find a current post on this matter. I am traveling out of Ezeiza on Monday. Manuel Tienda Leon sounds like a great option, but I have never done it before. May I pay cash from the Madero terminal? Do I have to make a reservation or can I just show up with...

A signed contract is a legally binding, valid agreement. The landlord had no power to enforce a rent increase and your friend had no duty to agree to one, except out of generosity or a desire to keep peace. But she had every right to say no. If you need the name and number of an attorney who...

There are all sorts of rumors and speculations among the gringos I know in reference to importation of electronics into Argentina. Here is my question: Is there anything illegal and/or unethical about bringing in electronics, declaring them at customs and paying the attendant tax?

Thanks Henry. What is an STD box? And in your experience, how long does it take to arrive via this method?

I have to ship a box from the US to Buenos Aires. What do people feel is the cheapest way to do so? It will be about a 5-pound box, with 2-3 books, some documents and a small bottle of supplements. Nothing of real value. Alternatively, if someone is traveling from the US to BA soon and would...

My request is a serious one. Please do not leave a posting that would cause other members to unnecessarily and inappropriately worry about my request. If you can edit or delete your inaccurate and potentially alarmist posting, I would appreciate it. If you read previous postings or take the...

I'm jealous Joe! Thanks to all who responded. I have tried all the suggestions, and a few brainstorms of my own. Nothing panned out. The link to the doctor was a possibility, but they refused to provide without an expensive consultation (for a supplement that is OTC in the US). If anyone is...

I need to find a bottle of Pregnenolone. My holistic doctor recommended this supplement and it has been very helpful. I checked Mercadolibre and my local farmacia. No luck with either. Any of our medically-inclined foristas have an idea where I could procure a bottle of Pregnenolone?

A rather embarrassing, funny, but legit post. I am a hemorrhoid sufferer. The Tucks pads from the western world provide excellent relief for me. But I have about run out. I looked in a few pharmacies and have not been able to find a similar product. Does anyone know where I can get Tucks...
