Dr John is a well known and colourful character on the Island of Utila. He is famous for his book Excape from the Human Race which is available from Amazon Books and soon to be available at Muchies Restaurant here in Utila. In addition to his book, Dr John is also known for his Ear Drops which he makes here in Utila especially for Scuba Divers and Swimmers. Formulated to protect against Otitis Externa (or as it is more commonly know "Swimmers Ear") Dr John's Ear Drops provide an effective protective barrier against the causes of bacterial infection which can infect the ears of swimmers and scuba divers. These Ear Drops are an essential addition to every Scuba Divers equipment and can aid in the prevention of Otitis Externa (Swimmers Ear) which affects both beginners and experienced scuba divers alike. A 30ml Bottle of these Ear Drops, (which if used every day as directed will last for over 2 months) is available at the Utila Community Clinic for only 100.00 Lps (approx $US 5.40) |
