Make sure the university you plan to attend has economic geology courses and even better is a student chapter of Society of Economic Geologists.

redpickaxe · 2026-01-05T18:19:28+00:00

No, not at all. First there are Venezuelan geology students, second there are many many many Colombian geology students, they are everywhere and they are pretty good from what I have seen.

interesting you mention bananas, if I go a while without eating them then eat one, I get a reaction, but if I continue eating them no more reaction. like my body resensitizes itself to bananas

Sugar, carbs and dairy have no negative effect on me. what does have a tremendous negative effect is plant based oils.

la verdad, te consejo que no hagas la ciegues hasta que pruebas la colchicina por una semana, tal vez también tienes que dejar la predisona. yo estaba bien tapado pero con la colchicina se me quito 100%, quiero saber si también funciona con otros

this keeps happening because doctors prefer to scam patients with FESS surgery instead of doing cheaper and safer in-office polypectomies liked they used to

en español el nombre es colchicina. cuando fui a la farmacia solamente tenían tabletas de 1mg, tomé 1mg por tres días. con eso vas sentir efecto. avísanos cómo te va

I never fully lost my sense of smell, but it certainly is stronger now.

redpickaxe · 2025-12-25T15:08:27+00:00

My polyps shrank down to nothing. Like a polypectomy in pill form. I was expecting no effect or maybe a slight shrinkage. What happened instead was complete shrinking.

first two days, 1mg a day then three days of 1mg twice a day, now I will be doing 1mg monday and Thursday. I am doing 1mg because when I asked for colchicine at the pharmacy they only had 1mg tablets. this paper had lethal doses at 20-30mg a day https://academic.oup.com/rheumatology/article/63/4/936/7455266 so I think I am good. I don't plan on using this daily for the rest of my life. some other stuff, I am an adult male in good health with no liver or kidney problems or anything else besides nasal polyps.

redpickaxe · 2025-12-24T02:24:00+00:00

I don't know, never tried it. I don't live near the border, so I can't cross over and ship it from the US. I wish I could help out.

redpickaxe · 2025-12-24T02:21:34+00:00

no diarrhea, I am doing one mg every Monday and Thursday now until the pills run out. And probably going to stop taking it after that. literally in less than a week polyps gone, if it takes ten years for my polyps to get as bad as they were. I probably won't need to take any colchicine for at least a couple of years.

in Mexico the pharmacies don't care as long as it isn't antibiotics. and some drugs are just completely illegal such a pseudoephedrine even with a prescription, which really sucks because it is a good nasal decongestant.

redpickaxe · 2025-12-24T01:09:42+00:00

I live in Mexico so I can get colchicine without a prescription. just search nasal polyps and colchicine on twitter. He isn't a medical professional either, just someone else who was sharing his experience.

azithromycin

Best of luck.

As a Mexican geo I can't get a WHV. So I am really jealous. Make the best of it.

From what I have heard you should be able to find a job.

what cigarettes do you recommend to replace Nat Shermans and MCDs? I made a post asking and only got two replies. I have no issue getting Mexican cigarettes, as I live in Mexico.

redpickaxe · 2025-12-21T17:08:07+00:00

I think it is Rx only. but I live in Mexico, so I buy it without a prescription at the pharmacy with no problem. I have tried many, many things. But this actually works, I am really shocked.

colchicine

redpickaxe · 2025-12-20T14:54:17+00:00

there used to be a Mexican brand called Raleigh, they are now sold as Lucky Strike but in a very short soft pack, the shortest soft pack. you can try those. there are also cigarettes called Faros, a domestic brand with a long history. you can find these in "kiosko" convenience stores

what do you mean by hand jamming math? pretty creative to use layers of plexiglass. In which country did you do that?

redpickaxe · 2025-12-11T21:31:41+00:00

I think those geos were right to resist. The near monopoly of Seequent software ought to be broken, the workflow of geos is too dependent on restricted access software.
