Additional information
by Ralph La Guardia (Author)
What are you and your family going to do after a collapse of society when there are no doctors and medications available, and the pharmacies and hospitals have been looted? You can prepare for every disaster scenario, but if you are not able to treat medical emergencies and injuries that arise, how long will you last? This book will teach you everything you need to know to keep you and your loved ones healthy.
Doctor La Guardia has spent over 35 years researching ways to treat any and all medical conditions with non-prescription, over the counter, and everyday products, many of which will amaze you. This book is jam packed with useful information in an easy to read format, chock full of illustrations and overflowing with information that could very well save your life.
Here are a few of the hundreds of amazing things you will learn in this book:
* Learn what is 8 times more effective at preventing the flu than the flu vaccine.
* The antioxidant that is 6,000 times more powerful than vitamin C.
* Learn about the amino acid that not only treats anxiety and depression but also eliminates cravings for drugs and alcohol.
* The weed that is not only the perfect food for your body, but also can be used to produce biofuel for your vehicles.
* The common cleaning product that will not only control your arthritis, but will also make your bones rock hard.
As a Prepper you automatically are someone who is realistic by nature and as such a person you surely will come to the realization that no matter how big a supply of antibiotics you have stockpiled currently, they will either run out or be compromised in some way. That being said, you will need alternative means of treating any infection that may arise, thus the impetus for this chapter.
You will learn all the current methods for nonantibiotic treatment of infections; some are very well known and accepted, others are controversial and/or relatively unknown to both physicians and the general public. You should stockpile as many of these as you can afford. Most are relatively inexpensive. Once your survival medicine chest is fully loaded with these you will be able to treat almost any infection that may arise. I have spent decades reading obscure medical books and journals to find many of these incredibly effective treatments.
Of all of the misuses of antibiotics on the part of patients and doctors, they pale in comparison to the abuse of antibiotics on the part of farmers and ranchers. Big Agribusiness is by far the greatest consumer of antibiotics in the United States. Currently they are using over 70 percent of all antibiotics to feed their livestock. This misuse of antibiotics to protect their livestock is insane, and leading to antibiotic resistance on a huge scale, pouring these resistant bugs into contaminated waterways and sending out contaminated meat to consumers nationwide.
MRSA-contaminated pork has been routinely found in various studies from samples taken all over the United States. Whether this contamination is originally from the meat or from human handlers is unclear, but either way, we are being exposed to this on a routine basis. MRSA currently kills more than 18,000 Americans annually; this is more than the AIDS virus.
This all paints a very ominous picture of antibiotic-resistant bacteria emerging much faster than new antibiotics can be developed. What does this mean for Preppers? It means that we have to learn other methods for treating infections that do not involve the use of antibiotics. We have to be smarter and use all the means at our disposal, thus this chapter. In this chapter I will teach you all the methods currently available for the treatment of any infection that may rear its ugly head.
