  • A major tenet of living off-grid is the freedom to live how YOU choose. That should include the medical wellbeing of you, your family, and your animals. These are things we seriously took into consideration when choosing where we wanted to put down permanent roots. In this video we talk about our experiences and knowledge around the medical freedoms in Ecuador. This is compared against the medical 'standards' in the U.S. and others parts of the world. Even if Ecuador isn't your destination, these might be important topics for you to consider.

    We are an American family living permanently in Ecuador, transforming a mostly-untouched 30 acres of jungle mountain into a working, self-sustainable, off-grid farm. There are a lot of trials, errors, successes, and lessons to be learned along the way. We hope to share it all with you, to tell our story, to inspire, and to hopefully help answer the questions you didn’t know to ask.

    Hey! we relate with most, if not all of your thoughts. We enjoy your videos.
    My wife and I had our daughters at home. They are almost 20 and 18, now! It was AWESOME. My wife does not handle pain well, and it was still awesome. Well, she did it again for the second time round!
    Also, my wife is allergic to most antibiotics. Early in our marriage, she stumbled upon alternative medicine. It has worked so well for our family.
    We are entirely looking to move out of the US. We are learning about Ecuador, El Salvador and Paraguay...but the temps in Paraguay have either been too hot or two cold.....

      Awesome! Often times I think some of these changes come from necessity. Like we mentioned, we've both had health issues that 'couldn't' be solved by mainstream medicine, so we've had to find our own answers.
      Get out! hah, we would have loved for the American Dream to still be possible in America, but we don't believe it really is anymore. Funny enough, much of what makes up that dream is possible here. What temps are you aiming for? We ended up a little warmer than we prefer, but the plant sure like it better!

      @@tinyhandsbigdreams regarding temps, we currently live on the central east coast of Florida. It's pretty great here...
      I have noticed what you have mentioned about "the American dream" to be true in Ecuador! We have so many dreams. Looking forward to visiting....how to get there is the situation.
      Praying about it all the time.

    I buy Iv her meh kt in here in the US on Amazon for $12 per syringe-applicator tube. 91 mcg per lbs of bodyweight. In Peru its about $3.50 usd per tube and both the pill form and gel/cream forms are the same medicine. The United States has become over regulated, over taxed, too many permits, fee's, rules, requirements, laws, fines, penalties and paperwork and forget doctors. Our doctor pushed the C shots and then, less than 2 weeks after his "booster", had a stroke. He is on home home hospice care, practice closed and the building he had his practice in is for sale. You did the correct move.

      That is so sad about your doctor. So sad.

      wow. So many stories like that...we sidestepped the whole C shot thing, lost friends and family members over it. But the health of us and our future generations are waaaay too important.

    Hi from Canada, Winnipeg. Love the show,gotta say though I would want to carry a firearm at all times if I lived there. Could you let me know how hard that would be to get there. Also what would a couple acres cost in your area? Ty

      Vets are just like doctors, they only learn from the medical schools, these schools are financially fed from pharmaceutical giants companies that only want to make money. So they only learn when you have this, you prescribe that. They don't know what is causing the problem, I believe in functional medicine. I also had multiple really bad experiences with doctors so I avoid them at all cost. Research and prevention, eating whole foods and staying away from all chemicals products.

      Hi! Can I ask why you would feel the need to carry a firearm here? We don't, and don't feel any need whatsoever. We're neither one opposed to them in principle and would like to own again when we can, but have never once felt the need for protection here. Where we live is incredibly safe. There is a process to legally own a firearm here, and depending on who you ask it's either cheap and easy or expensive and a difficult process. Definitely would need to have a certain level of Spanish speaking or possibly a translator for the process. If we get more details we'll share, but we haven't prioritized the purchase yet.
      As far as properties around our area (near Yantzaza) it will range anywhere from $1000 to $10,000 an acre. There is a slim possibility of snagging a spot for less (we did) but it's not as common. This will depend on exact location/proximity to a town, if the land is cleared at all, does it have legal access and/or a road, power, water, etc.
