Finally, an authoritative response for anyone who has suffered Montezuma's Revenge+ by two highly-respected medical doctors who have probably treated more of it than most.Dr.'s Page have undertaken an English language medical tour for those of us who have encountered the nightmare of too many tacos and other ills South of the Border. In what normally can be a maze of medical horrors for us gringos on vacation, they have investigated and simplified with easy instructions and directions good,safe medical help. This book is as necessary as packing your toothbrush for a trip. I would hope they eventually get to do a book for other countries for us Americanos.

This is a very thorough, well-researched guide to Mexico-specific travel. I frequently travel to Baja California with church missions teams, and knowing how to get to the best hospitals and clinics (not to mention being able to identify the good v. bad ones) is a tremendous resource. Also serves as a medical field guide, should there be an absence of clinics in your immediate area (or if you need to act before emergency services would arrive...which you would have called in the numbers found through this book!). Very helpful resource.

The expert and collaborative work of physicians Robert and Curtis Page, Mexico: Health And Safety Travel Guide is thoroughly "user friendly" guide to English-speaking physicians and hospitals accessible to forty of the most popular vacation spots in Mexico. Enhanced with 106 maps, 60 reference charts, a symptom index, and more than 235 b/w photographs, the Mexico: Health And Safety Travel Guide also includes easy-to use indexes for pharmaceuticals and medical translations. This highly portable specialized travel guide includes invaluable tips suggestions how to carry additional medication in case of loss, avoiding and treating diarrhea, malaria prevention, wound and skin care, insect repellents, pain management, motion sickness, even a favorite cold remedy. If you are planning a vacation or business trip to Mexico, then begin your travel preparations by securing a copy of the Mexico: Health And Safety Travel Guide.

If it is true that over fifty percent of travelers become ill while on vacation, then this is a guide you may want to take on your next vacation. The Mexico Health and Safety Travel Guide also includes 106 maps, 60 reference charts and 235 photographs (physicians and locations). The main chapters include:

Before You Go - Medical history and emergency information as well as information on immunizations
Safety and Security - Covers information on pharmacies and prescription drugs
Travel Health Special Needs and Concerns - traveling while pregnant or with small children
Infectious Diseases - helpful advice on avoiding tick bites

The doctors listed speak English and can be found near the top 40 popular vacation spots. Each listing states the price for an office consultations, office hours, address, work and mobile numbers, pager number and whether or not they do house calls in the local area.

This book will be helpful for travelers, but could also be helpful for retirees, business travelers and cruise ship passengers. Travel tips throughout explain why you should not drink the local water or how you can avoid illness by peeling raw fruits and vegetables yourself.

Mexico Health and Safety Travel Guide is an essential guide you will want to take with you when traveling in Mexico, especially if you travel there often or stay for over a week.
