The only thing you can be certain about in life is the fact that life is uncertain – you never know when a disaster might strike. To make matters worse, disasters and emergencies may take a variety of forms. Your city might be struck by a hurricane, or the breadwinner in your family could lose his job.

No matter the circumstance, in times like this you will be glad that you have an emergency pantry stocked with survival foods. There may come a time when you no longer have access to a grocery store – you may even be without power and unable to use the foods in your refrigerator or freezer.

You care about your family more than anything. While it is not certain that you will ever need an emergency pantry, it is better to have one and not need it than to not have one when you do need it.

Stocking a survival pantry is easy to do, but could be one of the most important decisions you ever make.

It’s anyone’s best guess how soon this becomes a pandemic on American soil.

Herbal Antibiotics & Antivirals: Natural Healing with Herbal Medicine

Herbal Antibiotics & Antivirals: Natural Healing with Herbal Medicine (Natural Health & Natural Cures Series) was a free kindle book when this post was written.

 Herbs have been studied and used for centuries as medicine and as a food.

Herbal remedies use plant parts or the extracts for different health conditions.

The most common forms of herbal medicines include poultices, essential oils, creams, tincture, and teas. In the United States, many herbal remedies are sold in stores which sell alternative medications, vitamins, and other similar products.

The medical community in general still disapproves of the use of herbs as medicine. They believe that herbs are ineffective, unsafe, not regulated, and not as effective as pharmaceutical drugs.

The ironic thing about this belief is that many medications prescribed by our physicians have components of herbal remedies or at least a synthesized version of the herb.

Many people consider plant-based remedies to be more natural, cheaper, and less harmful than pharmaceutical drugs. There is also the belief that they are more capable of easing both every day and chronic health problems.

Today we have over-used antibiotics to the point where they are losing their effectiveness, and are causing yeast overgrowth in our bodies. Yeast overgrowth can lead to several minor and some serious health conditions. With the use of herbs we don’t have to limit ourselves to taking our medicine in a pill.

Herbs can boost the natural healing properties of our immune system, so we actually heal faster, by stimulating the necessary healing hormones to fight against the pathogens.

In this book you’ll learn:

• Which herbs have antibiotic and antiviral properties and how you can use them to treat common ailments
• How to make, use, and store your own medicinal poultices, creams and ointments, tinctures, infusions, and decoctions
• How to grow, prepare, and preserve your own medicinal herbs

And much much more…

Before using any herbal remedy, it is wise and recommended that you do some thorough research, and discuss the use of an herb with an herbalist and/or your physician before using. Some herbs can be dangerous if used inappropriately.

Unfortunately, many people will rely on government aid and instruction during a disaster. The reality of the situation is that the government may not be able to provide aid until weeks into a disaster. Finally, when aid comes it may not be what you expect. Nothing is more demoralizing then starving for weeks only for the government to show up with rationed water and food. Look at Hurricane Katrina as an example of government aid and intervention. For weeks citizens had to deal with aggressive violence, no food and water, and terrible sanitation conditions. This book will help teach you how to survive these scenarios in an urban environment!

Ebola K: A Terrorism Thriller

Ebola K: A Terrorism Thriller was a free book for kindle when this post was written. Now I have something to read when I take Little Man to the park tonight!!

Ebola, Terrorism, and Hope

In 1989 the Ebola virus mutated to into an airborne strain that infected humans for the first time on American soil in Reston, Virginia. Through belated containment efforts and luck, nobody died.

Now, in the remote East African village of Kapchorwa, the Ebola virus has mutated into another airborne strain without losing any of its deadly potency.

In this thriller, terrorists stumble across this new, fully lethal strain and while the world fearfully watches the growing epidemic in West Africa as Sierra Leone goes into country-wide lockdown, only a few Americans are aware of Ebola K and the danger it poses—to be the deadliest pandemic in the history of mankind.

Can they do anything to protect themselves from this killer disease? Can they stop the terrorists?

BUSY!!!

I haven't been on here much because we have been so busy prepping!

We have a southern facing window that we are doing a solar heater in like on http://www.theskinnywitch.com/skinny-blog/passive-solar-heating-on-the-cheap I still have to get some black paint for it and then we can have it ready to place in the window. Waiting until it gets very cold. It has been so nice the past week that it has been hard to think about winter and the colder weather, but we have been.

I am taking our car in this Friday to get some stuff done to it. We have been without heat in it for the past 2 winters. We have to find out the problem there and the battery light keeps coming on even though we have a new battery.

Just getting prepared is like a full-time job. We have so much more to do. But , since we are doing it early this winter, it will get done.
