I want to talk about my experience with hypnosis-induced talk therapy without invading my own privacy or the privacy of the man I received the treatment from. I came to Croatia expecting to receive one type of treatment but I ended up practicing yoga (antigravity and vinyasa), Plasma-wave therapy, sound-wave therapy, and hypnosis talk-therapy. I strongly believe in the synergies of using several modalities at once. Of course, the downside is that you cannot determine which modality caused your improvement and which, if any, did nothing at all.
Read MoreThe presence of parasites (or what I think are parasites) is the most persistent and greatest problem that I face. I've tried a half-dozen MDs, osteopaths, a dozen acupuncturists, a TCM parasite specialist, bodywork, chiropractors, craniosacral, Ayurvedic, Amazonian shamans, specialized TCM practitioners in South Korea, and I tried remedies from an intuitive homeopath over the internet.

The team of four is run by Aaron who became interested in medicine after contracting a seemingly incurable parasite that migrated to his brain. Doctors told him that there was no safe pharmaceutical for him to take. Any pill might carry the side-effect of death, and thus there was no remedy. He eventually found a machine called the Plasma Wave, a German-made machine based on technology that’s nearly 100 years old. They have since expanded into using other machines that sit between Western Medicine and alternative medicine as well as hypnosis-talk therapy and aerial yoga.
Read MoreI looked for Reiki practitioners in Zagreb on a whim. The first result found a spa that was charging $120/session. Lol. A little steep. The second person had a very poorly designed website. I contacted him over email and he offered to have me come to his house.
Read MoreFor seven years now I have been fighting and testing positive for parasites. In 2011 I went to Mexico City for an internship. Two days after I returned I began bi-hourly diarrhea. Several tests for pathogens including parasites were all negative but after two weeks spent in the bathroom and bed I was given the commonly prescribed anti-parasitic, Flagyl, from an infectious-disease doctor.
Read MoreZagreb might be where you have your layover, but it’s probably not on your itinerary. The beach cities like Dubrovnik and Split seem to get all of the love. An acquaintance stopped by for four hours during a layover and told me that she felt like she’d seen everything. I had to tell her it’s one of the rare cities that gets better with time.
