Medicine for Survival: Old-fashioned Medical Remedies That Are Still Being Used

Image
Throughout my career as a pharmacist, I’ve been fascinated by the evolution of medicines we use to treat people, and how so many “old-fashioned” medicines are still in use—and very useful—today.   I have a collection of pharmacy antiques and one of my most prized possessions is a Materia Medica—published in 1927 and containing many historical remedies.   Some interesting remedies from that book include using Scotch pine needles to reduce uric acid in gout, and prescribing tobacco for treating constipation due to the ability of nicotine to stimulate the large intestines to work more efficiently.   In the 1800s, it was common to find people taking cough syrup containing opium to treat coughs and cocaine for toothaches or any mouth pain. These medications work by suppressing cough with narcotics such as opium, and by the local anesthetic effect from cocaine.   Another unusual remedy was using mercury to treat venereal diseases, mainly syphilis. Mercury was effective in treating leprosy (H

Getting Back To Grandparents: 4 Survival Skills Your Great-Grandparents Knew (That Most Of Us Have Forgotten) - How to Use a Pine Tree for Survival – Food, Medicine, Fuel and Shelter

Image
Most of the time, we think about survival in terms of having a pack filled with equipment and supplies. That’s the ideal way to do it, but you can’t always count on the ideal. There’s just as good a chance that you’ll find yourself stuck in a situation where all you have is a pocket knife and a lighter. Survival in such a situation is much harder than with a well-filled backpack . Nevertheless, as long as it is possible, then it’s a good idea to know how to survive, using just what you can find around you. This is where the pine tree comes in handy. While a pine tree can’t do everything for you, it can do a lot. You can use a pine tree for food, medicine, shelter and fuel, covering a lot of your needs. Learning how to use pine trees, as well as other trees and plants you find in the wilderness, could keep you alive. 1. The Pine Tree as Shelter Pine trees make one of the easiest natural shelters you can find. The branches come out horizontally from the tree, and as the tree grows, the l

OFF-GRID Internet: How to get Internet Access when living off the grid - Connecting to the internet from Rural areas or during long-term disasters

Image
Going off-grid doesn’t mean you have to cut all ties to civilization. In fact, thanks to modern technology, you can still live your off the grid dreams while still staying connected to the rest of the world. One of the questions I receive most from people looking to go off-the-grid is how they can access the internet when living in remote areas of the country. This is especially important for those who rely on the internet for our jobs. It’s also a major consideration for preparedness minded people who want to connect to the internet during a power outage or long-term, grid-down situation. When we originally wrote this article ten years ago the options were pretty limited, today in 2022, finding internet access in remote parts of the world has become a lot easier. OFFGRID INTERNET OPTIONS – Connecting to the internet from Rural areas or during long-term disasters Simple Cell Phone Connections For those looking for rural or off-grid land, plenty of locations have accessible cell towers

WAKE UP AMERICA: WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A REVOLUTIONARY EPOCH AND PROBABLY MOST DON’T EVEN KNOW IT AS IT IS HARD TO SEE DURING FAMINE, ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, AND LACK OF ENERGY, ALL PRECURSORS TO A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!

Image
The world is headed for disaster as we are in the middle of many crises right now including but not limited to our food supply, the economy, and our energy supply.  Most of these crises have been caused by the global elite of the world (the WEF and their minions) in order to usher in a global government, or a One World Government! The world already has to deal with the threat of natural disasters which destroy our crops around the world but add to that the planned attacks on our food supply and it spells disaster for billions of people around the world, it spells mass famine! Our economy is being systematically destroyed by the government, by the Biden Regime! Joe Biden’s economic policies are destroying the American economy with record high inflation, mass illegal immigration, an endless war in Ukraine, the redistribution of wealth, illegal mandates, the climate change agenda, penalizing hard working Americans, the destruction of our energy supply, CRT, the Social Justice Movement, an
