WIRING for PHONES, INTERNET, ELECTRICITY in Costa Rica

Who I've used for 

WIRING for PHONES, INTERNET, ELECTRICITY 

in Costa Rica has been

RONALD!!!

He doesn't speak English though he understands some and each time we've worked together, we've gotten by with my limited VicLish (my/Vicki's funnier version of Spanglish).  

He did all the new additional wiring for more/new phone lines & cable tv & internet connections as well as a bunch of new outlets when I first moved to Costa Rica (Pozos de Santa Ana) and in the home I'm in now (in Escazu).   He did a GREAT JOB!!!! 

The GREAT/not so great part is Ronald works for ICE!!  The great part is he knows what he's doing.  The not so great part is you have to work around HIS work schedule.

He's also a REAL SWEETIE & pretty fast/quite efficient!!!

Ronald lives in Guadalupe (on the East side of San Jose) so if he comes to you not in that area he'll come via bus and you'll have to pay for his time to get to/from you BUT, he's only 4,000-colones!!!!

Ronald's phone # is  8-749-2718   You could get his sister Maureen (8-823-9251 / mau1164@hotmail.com) to help translate to make the appointment & give directions.

Please tell him Vicki sent ya!!  and let me know how he worked for you so I can start adding comments!!!

CHIROPRACTOR and PHYSIOTHERAPIST - Shahin Ravery - San Jose, Costa Rica

VICKI'S #1 Choice (BY FAR) for 

THE BEST

CHIROPRACTIC AND PHYSIOTHERAPY CARE 
I've found in
COSTA RICA

SHAHIN RAVERY

with Delta Chiropractico

Dr. Ravery

(I just call him "Ravery" because it's easier for me to remember/pronounce!) 

is both a 

CHIROPRACTOR AND PHYSIOTHERAPIST

For MY (Vicki/the Sarong Goddess') body, a chiropractor that mainly just cracks me and I'm out in less than 20 or so (IN the office [not including waiting]) does NOT work!!  My body needs careful handling!!  MOST IMPORTANTLY (this being with a chiropractor or ANY doctor) - I want someone that takes TIME with me.  First work on relaxing my tight muscles (that have formed to being in a sitting over the computer for 15-20 hours a day position) and do some physical therapy actions BEFORE jumping on me and crackin' my bones - hence potentially causing serious pain or worse - doing damage to me (which HAS happened).  (I’ve been going to chiropractors on and off for over 25 years including some top notch ones in San Francisco and San Diego. My SF chiro used to make me get a massage or sit in a jacuzzi before he’d do me since I was so tight [I got them for free so it wasn’t that he was making more $ out of me.  Ahhhh life working in advertising!!]). 

I'd known of Dr. Ravery for many years from MANY friends/people I'd met that had been going to him, but my first experience with him wasn't till July of '07 when I dislocated my humerous (sp?) and clavicle (from a fall where I landed on my elbow and dislocated it). 

I need someone with machines/toys/equipment to help "warm me up" and what impressed me the most about Shahin Ravery was that he spent WELL over 2 hours with me utilizing physiotherapy / physical therapy methods and machines!!!  As well as chiropractic moves, Dr. Ravery had/did everything from an:

Electrical Lower Back Traction Unit 

(I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!! It's SOOOOO freeing of my lower back that often feels all jumbled up!!!)

Muscle Stimulation

Ultra Sound  

Heat

He also has all sorts of

Physio Therapy Toys, weights, balls+++

Chiropractic Moves

He is even skilled to work on

CHILDREN!

EVERY time I've seen Dr. Ravery, I have felt a noticable difference and he did a GREAT job on me and most of the people I've shared his information with!!

Of course it's up to ME to continue the treatments/therapy as it's been because of MY laziness/unconscousness, that's created the improperly formed muscles to do what they're doing over time and that CAN NOT change overnight (unless I set up some sort of contraption on my desk chair to sit me up properly!!  Of course, have I practiced what I preach here - NOT!!]).

Dr. Shahin Ravery usually spends on average at LEAST 45 minutes with his patients (how many other chiropractors you've been to in Costa Rica spend that kind of time or have those types of tools?  How many simply crack you and you're outta there [which I've heard often happens from MANY patients].  Hey - if that works for your body and you're making GOOD noticeable progress - FANTASTIC!!!  If not, perhaps it's time to try another option!!!!). 

(NOTE:  Contrary to the b.s. some people may tell you (and ya get to look at where THEY'RE coming from/who they're friends with [there's LOTS of "Lack Mentality" here - especially by people in the same profession]) - he IS a member of/certified by the Colegio de Profesionales en Quiropractica de Costa Rica)

LANGUAGES:  

English 

(It's GOOD because he lived in the U.S. for 21 years and got his degree in chiropractic there)

Persian 
(his mother tongue)

Spanish 
(VERY fluently)

HOURS:  

Mon.-Fri. 9am-1pm, 3-7pm and Sat. 9-11am (by appointment)
(if you have a TRUE emergency and he's available, he can often come to you or meet you in the office off hours)

INVESTMENT IN YOUR BODY/HEALING • PRICE:  

1st visit - 25,000-c.  Thereafter -18,000.
(fyi - I've never seen ANYONE in his office for less than 45 minutes.  I'm usually there 2-3 hours on the various electric stimulation/other machines)

LOCATION:  

SAN JOSE - Paseo Colon - NEW location

At the Toyota dealership that's on Paseo Colon - turn Left and go 50 meters North.  

You go Right ON the first street - 25 meters East - on your Left - 

BUT - if you're driving - that's a one-way street going the opposite/West-bound way, so you have to go around the block.  

Look for the sign.

This store has some of the MOST COOL/UNIQUE gringo/international•IMPORTED things I’ve found here!!  More gourmet style products than most stores.  LOTS of HEALTHY products like GLUTEN-FREE!!!  They carry MISO Paste!

They also have one of the BEST selections of
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (especially WINE)
with some of the best prices I've found in Costa Rica. 

They carry MANY GRINGO PRODUCTS including
ENTENMANN'S Baked Goods
(I treat myself to their Raspberry Coffee Cake about once every few months!! [it's NOT cheap!!  I think it's about $9ish!  But SOOOO worth it!!). 

They have a REALLY GOOD WIDE VARIETY selection of
PRODUCE
including
LOTS of HERBS
(many from The Ark Herb Farm in Heredia - http://ArkHerbFarm.com [in the past, sometime you can make special arrangements with Ark for a special order to be delivered to Saretto's]) - even EDIBLE FLOWERS usually!!

PRODUCE SECTION:  Note that most items you need to take the items over to counter in the produce section to be weighed/tagged. 

They have some of the
best QUALITY of MEATS

They often have more unique/harder to find items. BAG BOYS:  NOTE that their Bag Boys are NOT employees (no salary, no insurance) so PLEASE make sure to tip them (I tip them if they’re just bagging me (200-300+-colones or so depending on how much) and more if they’re taking it out for me (400-500+-colones or so).  If I don’t have much to bag or don’t have much $, of course I bag it myself or at least give them 100 colones (I’ve found MANY of them are Nicaraguan).USING U.S. DOLLARS:
I've found when paying in U.S. dollars, usually they must call someone that must go up to the boss to bring your change back in colones - so don't be in a rush or use your Debit/Credit Card.


NOTE:  In 2012 they were bought out by Gasso that owns PeriMercado.

Ionized Alkaline Electron-Rich Water, Live Blood Cell Analysis and Ionic Foot Detox in Costa Rica with Zoli Hargitai

Zoli is my "Water Dealer"!!!

THE BENEFITS OF

WATER 

with Zoli Hargitai

I am a Clinical Nutritionist, practicing what I preach for the last 30 years and it shows.

I have been drinking Ionized Alkaline Electron-rich Water for 5 years and I am very passionate on the subject and would love to share information on this to people who are interested in improving their health.

I will give a short but very fascinating class water about the benefits of consuming ionized alkaline water and answer questions and I will have many visible & hands-on experiences comparing the ionized alkaline water with the acidic tap water or the even more acidic bottled water and I will have samples of water to taste.


I also have been training regularly for over 41 years including 27 years of martial arts, I am also a certified personal trainer and a yoga instructor.

I also do Live Blood Cell Analysis with my Darkfield Microscope as well as Ionic Foot Detox.

IONIZED ALKALINE ELECTRON-RICH WATER

So Much More than Clean Water ...

Clean Water is Not Enough

Reverse Osmosis, distilled water and most bottled waters are devoid of naturally occurring minerals. They are acidic and hard to absorb and rob minerals from the body.

Powerful Antioxidant Effect

Your IonWays ionizer will produce a super abundant supply of powerful antioxidants in each glass.

Superior Hydration

Ionized water has a reduced molecular cluster size and a negative charge, hydrating you up to six times better.

More Oxygen

As water is ionized, it provides you with a rich source of extra oxygen - almost double the amount of tap or bottled water!

Improve your pH balance

Water from an IonWays ionizer will help restore your body to its natural pH balance - boosting your vitality.

Detoxifies your System

Ionized water more effectively flushes  acidic toxins from your body.

LIVE BLOOD CELL ANALYSIS

Live Blood Cell Analysis differs from traditional medical blood testing in which preserved blood is sent to a laboratory for an “autopsy” and analyzed for chemical composition and cell counts.  Live blood work involves magnifying a single drop of live blood, taken from a fingertip prick, to 1000 times or more under a Darkfield Microscope.  The cells of the blood live for at least 20 minutes and, with the aid of a video camera, are observed on a monitor, revealing certain subtleties.

Live Blood Cell Analysis can reveal distortions of red blood cells which reflect nutritional status, especially low levels of iron, protein, vitamin B, folic acid and fatty acids.  Incomplete or delayed digestion of fats and proteins can also be observed.  In addition, liver stress and undesirable bacterial and fungal life forms may be revealed.  Signs of yeast, parasites and hormonal imbalances can also be detected.

The live blood thus acts as an educational “feedback mechanism”, motivating people to improve their diet, perhaps with the addition of nutritional supplements.  Positive changes in the structure of the blood cells can be viewed over time, usually a period of months, as improved nutrition impacts the blood.

The cost of the analysis ranges from $50-$200 in the USA or Canada but here at Microscopic Association of Costa Rica, we’re offering an INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL to our 1st TIME CUSTOMERS at participating locations of JUST 15,000 Colones.
