Dear Pam!

As always your posts have world wide ramifications and affect people all over the world. This post will be a great help to those living in Japan as well as to those in other Asian countries who must look to Japan as their leader in all things medical and technical.

Please go on enlightening the people of the world with your wonderful well -reasearched posts, the likes of which are rarely seen on the internet in any medical sites!

They are truly American and Global and reach out to a vast international audience in all parts of the world. I translate your posts into local languages to people who do not understand English in India and even they appreciate the research and the meticulous detail in which you post all your articles!

Thank you is all I can say on behalf of myself and all my friends and all the people here in India and the world who are beneficiaries of your great posts on OsteoporosisConnection.

Yours,

Priya

Hi Priya, thanks so much for your ever-caring responses; you're one-in-a-million! I hope this information helps those that you mentioned here: "This post will be a great help to those living in Japan as well as to those in other Asian countries who must look to Japan as their leader in all things medical and technical."

Thanks for the hours of work you employ to translate my posts, that is very considerate of you. Come back any time and I hope I can help again.

Thanks Merely Me! We do get a lot of question from patients around the world here on our Ask a Question forum, so I always try to include new meds that are recently released in other countries in my writings. One of our members, Priya, translates all my SharePosts to his friends and acquaintances in Mussoorie India, at the foot of the Himilayans, and in turn they respond back to me through him. This is an incredible feeling of satisfaction and global reach! I don't know what I'd do without my loyal and constant friend Priya, he is very incredible to go to this much work to spread news he says they just can't get where they live on osteoporosis.

Thanks so much for dropping by, and if you ever want to read some of the villagers comments that Priya translated see this post, it is an eye-opener with the work that went into translation and retranslation by my friend Priya.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking time out from the Depression site, Anxiety site and all the others you write for; you are a prolific writer - that's for sure - and we all get to benefit from it!

Take Care...

Pam
