Truth about Kalu Yala

If you were able to study abroad, where would you like to go? If you are looking for a life changing experience, then you should check out Kalu Yala.  There is no there study abroad program like this.

You live in a remote jungle in Panama and get college credit.  Does this sound like something you would like to do?  

Kalu Yala wants to make places more socially and environmentally responsible. It’s starting in a lush mountain valley in the Panama rainforest. That might strike you as a peculiar location, and the truth is it was a happy accident. The land was purchased by the Stices, prominent real estate family from the states.

Raised in real estate, Kalu Yala founder Jimmy Stice grew up with a keen understanding of the industry’s adverse effects. He believed real estate could be harnessed as a positive force, driving socioeconomic equality and proactive conservation efforts. Kalu Yala is the first rendition of what will be a series of places founded on refashioned on principles of sustainability..

Real estate is problematic and necessary. We need real estate; we need roofs over our heads. But it’s resource-extractive and socially harmful; it allows the world to be segregated in a post-segregation era. What we’re trying to figure out is– how can real estate be socially and environmentally responsible?

I think that Kalu Yala would be a great experience for anyone that is wanting to study abroad and is ready to "rough it". 

During one semester, Kalu Yala let the cameras of the show VICE into this community to film what they thought was a documentary.  According to those of Kalu Yala, this documentary turned into something those at Kalu Yala did not want and tried to shed some bad light on Kalu Yala.  While Kalu Yala is not without some problems, this documentary was edited and marketed  in a way that portrayed them more like  reality show. If you want to know about any problems in Kalu Yala, check them out here. 

While any study abroad program is not 100% successful, Kalu Yala has been around for a few years and students keep applying and their drop out rate is 2.5%, which is half of the normal rate of drop out.

So, make sure you know ALL the facts before you apply to go to Kalu Yala.  There are many current and former students you can talk to.  You can make an informed decision based on  your own knowledge and  that of those that are actually in Kalu Yala or those that have done this study abroad program.

Lower back pain treatment

I know a lot of people suffer from lower back pain, myself included! It can be debilitating at times.   I usually take some ibuprofen and use one of those heat patches you buy online or from your local pharmacy. Most of the time that works for me.

Lower back pain has been so bad that I had to go to the doctor or emergency room. This does not happen often, but if the above treatment does not help, I have to get some kind of  relief.  Usually I get a shot for pain and a prescription for muscle relaxers and pain pills. I am not fond of this type of medication at all. But, when I am having THAT type of pain, it is sometimes necessary.

Lower back pain can affect your whole body.  You do not feel good, you don't want to move, and often just lay around.  I am no medical expert, but I am sure laying around is not the best treatment for lower back pain.  You have to find that balance between laying down and getting up and moving around.  This can prove to be difficult when your whole body hurts from lower back pain.  I have also found that soaking in a tub of hot water helps tremendously.

I would rather do some exercise or soak in a tub than take any prescription or over the counter drugs.   I know my mother had to have surgery on her back and she was nor t pleased with the long term results at all.  She has had better luck getting injections in her back, but had her best results when getting physical therapy.

When you go to a physical therapist, they will do all pertinent tests, like xrays, MRIs, CAT scans, etc, to tailor a treatment plan that will help you recover from your pain. Often, they can ge tall of this information.from the doctor that has been treating you. They will teach you what you can do to do to help your particular situation.

Do you have lower back pain?  What treatment options have you sought and what has worked for you?
