I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.MATINAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056834682621326306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-89929785414425794012015-02-08T17:52:10.158+09:002015-02-08T17:52:10.158+09:00thanks nice post..

Some will throw the rulebook at you while others simply go more by common sense. It's like dealing with the IRS :shudder:<br /><br />I'm not sure there is an official *Immigration* position - if there were we'd have heard about it via the Korean news or one of many K-bloggers. The quarantine, while nice to start out with a vacation, is done by schools to give their customers some perceived peace of mind from a perceived danger. As long as that quarantine is served in a comfortable place with realistic expectations - AND you're getting paid, without taking any vacation time away - then I say take it and enjoy it for what it's worth. You probably won't get another one. <br /><br />In some cases the school has a standing agreement to rent X apartments, one for each NET, and having them cleaned between teachers. That turnover is critical - and often difficult. Imagine someone trying to move into your apartment at the same time you're trying to move out. A little... difficult, right?Chris in South Koreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114300133329984235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-16764446955617152922009-06-11T21:57:56.194+09:002009-06-11T21:57:56.194+09:00Devon,

I've been looking for official Immigration positions on new teacher quarantine(for another questioner), but it seems to be pretty subjective. Any leads?The Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795876773477053551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-28948397412561053372009-06-11T21:55:38.863+09:002009-06-11T21:55:38.863+09:00When I first arrived, I moved into another teacher...When I first arrived, I moved into another teacher's place while she was on vacation. When she returned, she moved her stuff out and into the apartment of the teacher I was replacing.

So you will move into their joint when they leave.

When we got there though, our manager told us we would have to stay in a hotel for the first week and not come to the school because of the swine flu scare. It seems a lot of hagwons are now doing 1 week "quarantines" where you have to stay in a hotel just in case you do have the flu. We were asked to stay in the hotel as much as possible, but our director said he knew that wasn't really realistic, and that they couldn't really do much if we left. It actually turned out to be great, because we basically had a 6 day vacation, and were able to get our bearings in our new city before being thrown into the teaching world.Devonnoreply@blogger.com
