Want to leave usa, questions

7 years ago
Hi all, i moved to Argentina 6 years ago. Got there before their crash. Struggled threw the crash but did ok making a little cash here and there. I loved the food. I never had to take suppliments, seldom was ill, I thought it great i could work a lot of hours on the farm and the next morning i had no muscle aches for being in my 50's. ..the air was cleaner, water was ok, all in all i liked it except locals took advantage of us there, not a surprise. Banking, police, registering things were a test of patience, as usual for S America. I had little stolen from me. I lived in the country y only had one time they attempted to break in while i was away. Both of my dogs were poisoned but i managed to return in time to save them. Ok, so all this being said.. my family y friends put pressure on me to return to usa. I prayed over it y thought ok. So i got back last year in August. Call me crazy, but after a week or two i began to get sick. Immediately i could not eat the food i used to enjoy. Its regular i get sick after eating beef, corn, any dairy, peanut butter, many fruits cant drink wine, beer, now only water. So i went organic, not much of a change. Now im back to taking suppliments because my thyroid was really low, horrible digestion, my eye site is blurry again (Dr said if my digestion is not getting sufficient nutrience, my eye site will get worse because they are on the same maridian, makes sense)... all in all since i am back i feel horrible, not to forget to mention that i get a flu every 2 months y gained 20 lbs y i eat like a super picky mouse haha! Seriously.

So, i paid Ecuador a visit for a week y learned i cant handle the low oxygen. I got broncial edema, almost died.

This formerly healthy expat is asking about Peru.. hows the food? Weather? Elevation? People? Economy there?

Thanks everyone. I really need help.
