MEDICAL TREATMENT BY A LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IF AVAILABLE. ALL

1. Tuberculosis-
Why? I worked for the state for many years before coming home and in
that time I realized just here in MS TB (tuberculosis) runs ramped!
People suffering with TB will die, if not given medical treatment. Lets
face it Big Pharma can't even provide drugs that really do the trick,
They take a long time to work even if they do work. So if a loved one
contracts TB first and foremost STOP THE SPREAD!!!!!! How to stop the
spread of TB (google it!)
There are no sure fire ways to prevent it but increase your intake of
Vita D that will definitely help! Certain herbs and supplements are
becoming increasingly important in the fight against TB, especially in
the case of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. These alternative
supplements help to boost the body’s immune to fight the disease.
Ironically, exposure to sunlight is the best way to fight TB.
In a SHTF scenario try to have at least 2 of the following TB herbs on hand
A. Barberry
Barberry or Berberis vulgaris is highly effective in relieving TB
symptoms and is used to complement conventional treatment. The active
ingredient in barberry is berberine which has bacterial properties and
aids in killing the tuberculosis bacteria.
B. Horsetail
The scientific name of Horsetail is Equisetum arvense, and is
available as an extract, powder or capsule. TB reduces silica content in
the bones and horsetail can replenish this depletion as it contains
large amounts of silica and smaller amounts of calcium. Fifteen types of
bioflavonoids are also present in horsetail.
C. Garlic
Garlic has anti bacterial properties – it inhibits the mycobacterium
tuberculae through the active ingredient Allicin. It also has anti
fungal, anti parasitic and anti bacterial properties. One good way to
prepare it is by boiling the garlic cloves in water and milk and drink
it.
D. Ginseng
Ginseng contains compounds that strengthen pulmonary function, reduce
coughing as well as strengthen the immune system. Ginseng has
adaptogenic properties, which means it increases the body’s resistance
to stress, fatigue and infections, and there are few side effects even
if the dosage is exceeded.
E. Pineapple juice
This mixed with a dash of salt, pepper and honey, should be consumed
once a day. This concoction helps dissolve the mucus in the lungs.
F. Licorice
Licorice soothes throat pain and alleviates coughing in TB patients.
Licorice contains 10 antioxidants, at least 25 fungicides and 9
expectorant compounds!
G. Orange juice
A glass of orange juice with a spoonful of salt, a table spoon of
honey and 3-4 mint leaves and be drunk each day, to help reduce
expectoration and halt secondary infections. Vita C also helps to boost
the immune system. Mint helps dissolve sputum and cleanses and
nourishes the lungs. It detoxifies and cleanses the body from all the
metabolites of anti-TB drugs as well.
Prepare yourself mentally to lose this member of your tribe. These herbs will help but there are no guarantees.
2. Hepatitis A-
Why? Poor sanitation... easy as that! WASH your hands with soap after
pooping!! Hand Sanitizers should be stocked in your bags! Learn how to
make soap and stock pile it!!!
No specific treatment exists for hepatitis A. Your body will clear
the hepatitis A virus on its own. In most cases of hepatitis A, the
liver heals completely in a month or two with no lasting damage.
REST!!! NO ALCOHOL!!!! NO FATTY FOODS!!!!
Herbs to help... Lemon Balm Tea and St. John Wort Tincture (both I will be making very soon!)
GARLIC!!!!!!! Fresh or cooked
To help rebuild the liver
Cool Liver Tea Recipe:
Dandelion root, raw or dried not roasted, 1 part
Artichoke leaves 1 part
Oregon grape root 1/2 part
Licorice 1/4 part
Turmeric 1/4 part
Ginger root 1/8 part
Gentian root 1/8 part
If you do not have all use which ones you have! You can dry prepare
this tea mixture and seal which I will be doing on my business page
within the next month!
3. Cholera- Why? Bad water! Poor sanitation, poor waste disposal!
First and foremost there will be a lot of pain... and that
sucks!!!!!!!!The first thing you should do with a cholera patient is
start giving them fluids!! Dehydration is the killer here! Fluids,
Fluids, Fluids, Fluids and more Fluids!!!
If a person has dysentery or cholera, the water is likely to be
contaminated. Do not consume additional microorganisms by drinking
contaminated water!! Learn now how to provide yourself with clean
drinking water!!!
Do not consume drinks containing added sugar, or drinks containing a
significant proportion of natural sugar, such as fruit juice, as these
feed the microorganisms, and make the condition worse.
The juice from fresh coconuts is very good for dehydration, as it
contains water and many of the nutrients lost during dehydration. Where
fresh coconuts are available, these are ideal.
So I began to think what herb would control pain and help with the bowels and it hit me like a huge green leaf :D
Marijuana.... blahhh on the legalities I don't want to go into all
that but if you happen to have a stash of or run across some Mary Jane
it would be an excellent SHTF herb to store. I wanted to back up my
theory on this so I began a bit of research and wallah! Google Mary Jane
and Cholera!
If you don't have a hippy friend :D or refuse to partake in the herb
then I have a few other tips and tricks that could help but imo MJ is
the tip top of the lists for Cholera herbal treatments! blackberry
leaves (Rubus fruticosus) are a astringent herb! This will help to
remove the bug!
Rice and Tea (no sugar) If you happen to have some tea and rice your
in business!! Tea contains tannins, and is used in China for treating
diarrhea. Tea needs to be consumed in significant quantities, without
milk or sugar, as tannins are made inactive by reacting with the milk,
and sugar feeds the microorganisms.
Tea and Rice
In some parts of the world, people are poor and do not have access to
many of the things available to more affluent people. In many places,
appropriate herbs grow, and may be used. For example, guava and okra
are grown in many places.
Where other herbs are not available, dysentery or cholera may be
treated with tea and rice, which are readily available and economical in
most parts of the world.
A suggested dose for an adult with dysentery or cholera is 1 to 2
liters or more tea, without milk or sugar, two or three times a day.
This should be taken half an hour or more before eating boiled rice or
other high fiber, low calorie food. Tea contains caffeine.
Mucilaginous Herbs
Once detached from the internal lining of the intestines, the
microorganisms need to be carried out through the bowel. Mucilaginous
herbs are ideal for this, as they provide a physical mass to carry them
out, without providing them with nutrition. Mucilaginous herbs also
absorb toxins and carry them out through the bowel.
Psyllium (Plantago species) is a mucilaginous herb ideal for this
purpose. Other mucilaginous herbs may also be used. Examples include
slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) and marshmallow (Althaea officinalis).
Those not familiar with mucilaginous herbs, may put a spoonful of
dried psyllium in a large glass of water, stir, leave to stand for
awhile, and observe what happens. The mucilage absorbs the water and
swells, and the whole glass of water becomes a mass of mucilage. When
this passes through the intestines, it forms large stools.
Okra is food containing a large proportion of mucilage. Okra may be cooked and eaten. It should be chewed well.
A person who has had dysentery or cholera for some time, may also
have damage to the internal lining of the intestines. Mucilaginous herbs
promote healing of any damaged area. Mucilaginous herbs are also used
in the treatment of ulcers in the gastrointestinal system, where they
are very effective for promoting healing.

4.Typhoid- Why same reasons as Cholera bad sanitation bad hygiene! Keep it Clean with Hand Hygiene!!!
BAM! Echinacea !!! In a SHTF scenario you need Echinacea seed,
tincture, herb, powder all the EC you can get in your BOB (bugoutbag)
Why? EC is like the Penicillin of herbs I swear!! If you have a good
supply keep your tribe on EC 2 weeks out of every month to prevent a ton
of stuff. With the lack of great food etc... colds and flu's can be a
problem.
Echinacea: Drink sufficient of the hot tea to induce
diaphoresis, and administer hourly thereafter until the system is
relieved of stagnated wastage.
It is an intestinal antiseptic, although it may not have a
direct chemical effect on bacteria, but destroys germs by building the
resistance and cleansing the system so that the body itself can resist
the germs. It therefore is excellent in the treatment of the serious
fevers-typhoid, malaria, and the eruptive fevers, such as measles,
chickenpox, and scarlet fever. It is similarly useful in influenza.
Boneset: It is a bitter herbal aid, and in addition to its use
in fevers and infections it is taken to improve digestion and
assimilation. It was recommended during the Civil War to replace
quinine in cases of malaria, as well as for typhoid pneumonia
Bugleweed: It has been used frequently to reduce the high
temperatures of typhoid fever without apparently weakening the patient.
Garlic: It is very well known that garlic contains all the
elements except Vitamin D. It is also known that garlic essence warms
the body and promotes better circulation of the blood .... Aillin, an
oily substance contained in garlic, diluted as much as 200 times can
kill typhoid germs.
5. Upper Respiratory Infections- Why? inadequate nutrition, being exposed to elements.
This includes whooping cough, flu, etc... etc....
Over the counter drug to help fight this and stockpile Mucinex!!! Stock it religiously!! Rotate to keep fresh on hand!
A. MMMk! Here is this herb again:::: Echinacea
Herbal teas prepared from echinacea, licorice root, elm bark
Echinacea is an herb widely used for the prevention or treatment of upper respiratory tract infection.
B.Taking ginger tea several times in a day is one of the most
effective natural home remedies for Upper Respiratory Infection.
Prepare the tea by boiling one or two teaspoons of freshly ground
ginger in water for about ten minutes. Add some honey in it to make
this home remedy more effective.
C. Drinking a combination of garlic oil and onion juice mixed in
water is one of the most therapeutic natural home remedies for Upper
Respiratory Infection, particularly head cold. You can also have garlic
soup.
D. Taking a combination of lemon juice extracted from one lemon and a
teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water is a highly beneficial
in healing Upper Respiratory Infection naturally. Follow this therapy
for a few days by taking this mixture about one or two times in a day.
In conclusion if I had 5 herbs I could take with me in my BOB they would be;
1. Echinacea!!!!
2. Garlic
3.Lemon balm
4.Marijuana
5. Ginger
