These guys confirm trips and than cancel the appointments in the last minute. I´ve already paid for the flight and everything ($$$$) !?! That is not very professional. Please don´t register anymore.

The name of the company is Intercell USA (I found some articels about former studies, just use Google). It really seems reliable and I met some people at the Clinic who are already participating and they all got their money. Althogheter, they pay 1585 Euro, so you can use it for whatever you want. After the first vaccination (in your home country), you get 210 Euro, after the second again 210 Euro. Then, you fly to Mexiko/ Guatemala where you get 900 Euro during 3 more clinical visits (no more vaccinations). The last visit will be in your home country, about 6 months after your last visit in Mexiko/Guatemala. After that, you'll get 265 Euro. You also get free transportation from the airport to your accomodation and free medical insurance during your trip. Just sign up and go to the Information Day! Its non-committal and you can decide to quit anytime without having to have a reason, even if you are already in Mexiko/ Guatemala or back from your trip. I'll have my first vaccination next Thuesday. You can E-Mail me if you have further questions. I´m sorry for my bad English, it's late ;-) Bye, Tina Hi,

I returned from the TREK study on 20th December. It is a legit clinical research study. We went to Guadalajara, in Western Mexico for 2 weeks, taking in Puerto Vallarta and Lake Chapala. The study people either organise travel for you and you get about £175 at the end or you organise it and they pay you about £1475 at the end. They give a corperate mastercard which they add to every visit (I now have £1089 and get the rest on the 6 month visit). Of note they do nothing to make you have tummy upsets and give good advice for avoiding it - avoiding street food wasing hands etc. Some have a reaction to the patch and some get pigmented skin where the patch was - I got neither. You have to attend a month and a couple of weeks before travel then during the holiday twice (they pick you up and drop you back at your hotel) and back in the UK after you get back. I went to the london school of tropical medicine for my visits. If you get unformed stools you do have to agree to collect some and drop it off with them, they give you really unpleasant looking collection packs - Luckily I didn't have any problems. Jonathan PS Mexico is great! Hello,

The company works thougether with the Tropical Medical Institute (I don´t know the proper English name for it) of the University of Munich which is a reliable instituion. I paricipated in two of their studies before and I always got my money and I am still of excellent health. ;-) They will tell me all the details of the study on Monday, so I can tell you more about it by then.
