There are scams that are perfect replicas of the originals. Even the web
address is only one symbol off the original. And their spelling is a exact
copy of the original, word for word.
Mexico's water is poison. The only drinkable water their is bottled. I
know people who have gone their and felt guilty eating while hundreds of
hungry kids are begging for food.
They are a very poor country. They are in the middle of a big drug war,
as violent as it is now in Iraq.
The ingredients used their are grown using this poison water. The only
safe restaurants is American ones, in tourist areas. That is why they are
risking their lives to come here.
It is illegal to smuggle drugs across the boarder. People go to jail for
that.
I have nothing against the people. There are wonderful people from
there. They are just in a bad situation.
Their drugs are cheaper. That is because there are no regulations on
what they tell you is in them at all. Canada has regulations like us. For
you to say the overall health care in Mexico is better then ours, just shows
how uninformed on this subject you are.
You have a right to your opinion. I am not trying to change yours, but
this group can be dangerous if somebody gives out false, and dangerous
advice to our members. I just want to make sure they are well warned of the
dangers of getting drugs from other countries.

Isn't it funny that we trust our neighbors to the north, but not our
neighbors to the south? Mexico has a better health care delivery
system than we do. And the skill levels of their MD's is far above
that of ours. Health care and drug costs there are affordable. I
have many friends who have just up and left the US and retired in
Mexico where they live comfortably and are dispelling all the myths
that Americans have about the quality of life in Mexico.
Scams originate from everywhere, but are so easy to catch. Usually
there are misspellings and bad English. Easy to see and avoid.
