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-16310290627483683682016-02-24T01:43:42.990+09:002016-02-24T01:43:42.990+09:00Sunflowery

I don't think they are taught that much on religion in school so many of them, when asked about Islam, I fear will not have any idea what the depth of it is so ignorance can be big. To top it off maybe the only image they have of Muslims is what they see on the media, which obviously gives a bad imagejust a girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187952462259460156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-86770757845877372612016-02-02T00:06:48.043+09:002016-02-02T00:06:48.043+09:00Short of that you can find Umrah packages freely t...Short of that you can find Umrah packages freely through internet searching but it isn’t 100 % sure that you’ll definitely get the cheapest one for yourself.

Additionally, I think that since so many Korean businessmen and even tourists visit countries with a high muslim population (Dubai, Qatar, Turkey etc...) there is a little more understanding. <br /><br />However, take those Muslims in Itaewon and put them in a place like Daechi-dong or some other highly residential place and you'll see the accusations start flying. I know that isn't the fairest of comparisions, but then again, neither is comparing Itaewon and the rest of Korea.<br /><br />On a side note: I was in Itaewon briefly yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the diversity I saw even among the Muslim population.The Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795876773477053551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-24155539527038449462009-09-13T21:11:29.519+09:002009-09-13T21:11:29.519+09:00although Islam has a tendency to be tied to terror...<b>although Islam has a tendency to be tied to terrorism in the minds of many Koreans</b> <br /><br />I've never heard a Korean mention this, although I'm sure this is in the minds of at least some Korean. Ditto with Hawaii. However, I've heard many <i>Americans on the US Mainland</i> conflate Islam and terrorism as naturally as they would put butter on bread. <br /><br />My point is that for all the bluster of Korean discrimination, anti-Muslim sentiment is a far bigger problem in the US than it is in the ROK. <br /><br />My ex lived in Itaewon, so I hung around there a lot during the day, and it was easy to see Muslims wearing (what I would call) traditional garb, and they did not get many stares <i>in Itaewon</i>. Outside that area, I don't know.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-39509599748899819992009-09-11T11:56:11.801+09:002009-09-11T11:56:11.801+09:00Chris:

Of course, asking the local Muslims in Itaewon will be a lifeline for you to know how to deal with ignorant people (and not just Koreans!). <br /><br />If there's one advantage, it's that they speak Korean and you don't - some Koreans won't approach you based on that distinction, while others will say stuff you can't understand... Ignorance, in this case, might be a small form of bliss.Chris in South Koreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114300133329984235noreply@blogger.com
