Being Prepared - Updated Basic Food List On Page One

Heard of them. What would you look them up under?

Salvage Grocery Stores.

I found a list by state- just not sure if its current.

Thank you so much for looking!!

I am all over the place looking for Ebola and this weird EV-68 that is now paralyzing kids. Are these two things related??

...


I honestly don't know anymore. I fell asleep last night wondering if all 5 people (the 4 imported ones and now the Houston guy) in the US are/were being treated for the same Ebola strain. Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't. But I can't shake it, so I need to research it and see if it goes anywhere.

Yes it does. Already some of us have not been able to find out information, like the ship that docked in the Naval Shipyard in NO, and can't follow up on events.

Thanks, Cheyenne.

I am posting this video just for visual aid, helps give you an idea of how to prepare preps.

I thought this was a good idea of building a Ebola survival kit, putting it all inside a bucket for portability and ease of storage.

1. The Bucket - For mixing the Ebola-killing chlorine.
2. Spray bottle - Blows away viruses on contact.
3. Respiratory masks - Stop projectile particles in the tracks.
4. Latex gloves - personal protection.
5. Six bars of soap - cleanliness is key.
6. Latex cleaning gloves - personal protection.
7. Medical waste bags - red for hazardous material.
8. Protection gown - person protection.



Now add anything you see relevant to the list and can store inside the bucket. But, as mentioned, it gives you an idea of how to get started making a prep, so decide and use as you see fit, just trying to give folks ideas.

I'm linking Water if Life's water treatment thread here- it fits with your info.

Thread: water treatment and why it is safe.

Living in the burbs means you aren't in the intercity but you aren't rural either. Can't have animals but you can have a garden. Square foot gardening in raised beds will produce more than just on flat ground. If you don't have a garden yet, now is time to start preparing for next spring. So many people think you can just go buy a package of seeds, take it home, dig up the ground a little, rake it and plant your seeds, give it a good dose of water and in a few months FOOD.

Wrong!! Most full time gardeners know it takes 2-3 years to have a good garden because it takes that long just to learn what the heck you are doing, and to make your dirt SOIL. I make a joke that I am older than soil and younger than dirt - not all get it. You need to learn the difference if you are hoping to keep your family alive on what you grow. So you made raised beds and you filled it with perfect Miracle Garden soil (spent a bloody fortune doing that too) so you think it is all good. The bag states it will feed your garden around 3 months, then what? You have to have a good compost pile/bin/bag going at all times. Always. When there isn't any more fertilizer it is the compost pile that will keep your soil happy and healthy and allow you to grow tons of fresh food for your loved ones.

I will post for a pandemic soon. It is a juice you need to hopefully help you stay alive when medicine isn't there.

Thank You so much for this thread it is what I need. Trying to stock up.

I'm looking online at bulk stores but the shipping is a bit expensive.

Do they have winco stores where you are? They have some good deals.

Anyway good luck with the frozen costume.

Love You.

Sort of off-topic, but a help to build up your body to fight ebola or other diseases that may be unleashed upon us.

Want to throw this out there for your fight in making your body stronger to fight better against Ebola. Olive Leaf extract. Look it up and do some research. It even helps fight or cure malaria. It is a major immune booster and this is what you will need if Ebola claims a major foot hold in the 1st world countries.

After my surgery on the 26th, the pain was manageable after 5 days but I felt sick and was sleeping all the time. On the 3rd I started Olive Leaf extract and yesterday I was almost back to normal. Woke up great this morning. I am totally amazed at how well this thing works. You can bet I will be stocking up on this!!!

Here is a link to start your research on:

From research and clinical experience to date, we can say that supplemental olive leaf may be beneficial in the treatment for conditions caused by, or associated with, a virus, retrovirus, bacterium or protozoan. Among those treatable conditions are: influenza, the common cold, candida infections, meningitis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), encephalitis, herpes I and II, human herpes virus 6 and 7, shingles (Herpes zoster), HIV/ARC/AIDS, chronic fatigue, hepatitis B, pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, malaria, dengue, severe diarrhea, and dental, ear, urinary tract and surgical infections.

Many people who live stressful lives or who may be particularly susceptible to colds and viruses may benefit from long-term use of olive leaf as a preventive agent. Some patients have expressed other unexpected benefits of olive leaf, including improved psoriasis, normalisation of heart beat irregularities, diminished cravings, less pain from hemorrhoids, toothaches and chronically achy joints.
==============

My note, do read about it causing detoxification or die-off symptoms. This has happened with me, which only proves I was pretty toxic after all the "modern" drugs that were pumped into my body.

To detox, distilled water would be better. Personally I'd use that in conjunction with some activated charcoal. After the charcoal starts to pass, you'll be able to tell as your stools will be black, take a heavy dosage of magnesium citrate either via supplemental pills or by drinking water with a bunch of dissolved Epsom salt. (make sure you are near a toilet for the next 6-12 hours, and well stocked on TP. You're going to need it)

The charcoal will absorb many of toxins in your body so they can be passed, by adding the magnesium after the charcoal you are essentially purging your system. Make sure you stay hydrated, but I would eat very light, or not at all, for the couple days you spend detoxing.

Charcoal is extremely effective at scrubbing your body of all foreign substances. In fact so good, that most prescriptions and supplements will be removed from your body. It's very important you understand this, especially if you are on medications that you cannot go a day or two without them and not have serious consequences.

On a side note, I keep capsules of activated charcoal with me all the time. Any time you have a sour stomach, such as the morning after a night of heavy drinking, pop 2-3 capsules and you'll feel better in an hour or so. Works well if you're stuck eating food that you wouldn't normally, such as when you're on the road for work or vacation.

Now back to distilled versus spring water. Distilled water is going to be completely absent of all minerals (electrolytes). Due to this, it is better for detox as you will not be adding more to be removed from your body. That said, don't continually drink distilled water after your detox as it will leach your body of needed electrolytes. This is where spring water comes in. Spring water tastes the way it does due to the minerals it contains and is better than tap water or regular bottled water (Dasani, Aquafina) at adding natural minerals/electrolytes to your body. Most municipal (tap) water supplies and bottled water, such as Dasani, have minerals added back in, after an intensive filtering process, to give the water flavor. These minerals are added in certain dosages, no different than you taking vitamin supplements, but just like your vitamin supplements they are not always from 'natural' sources and your body may not recognize them or utilize them as they should be.

After your detox, make sure and get some electrolytes and other minerals/vitamins back into your system by eating some well balanced meals and drinking plenty of non-distilled water. Also, if you normally take magnesium supplements I would hold off for a day or two after your detox as you will add a huge amount of magnesium to your body when you started the detox.

If all you have is regular bottle water or simple tap water get two full glasses (or two bottles), in one add a teaspoon of sugar, in the other add a teaspoon of salt (table, sea, Kosher). Consume both these glasses and that will help your electrolyte balance. (in the military I kept sugar and salt packets in my gear so I could add them to my canteens when I ran low on electrolytes due to sweating)

-----------------------------------------
You're very welcome. Charcoal has, literally, been used for millenia to detox.

For further reference on uses - [link to www.amazon.com]

As for the charcoal itself, the pre-made capsules are expensive. Instead I bought this - [link to www.amazon.com] - and some empty gelatin capsules from a local health food store to make my own. Trust me, this stuff sticks to everything, so make sure you put down some wax paper and wear gloves before you make your own.

Most the time, I avoid the capsules all together and just grab a teaspoon out of the bag and add it to a glass of water (don't use plastic cups, the charcoal will permanently stain it). The mix will not look appetizing and will smell, very faintly, like burnt wood. There is however no taste. When you drink it all you'll taste is water, the texture will be a little gritty, but that's all.

I try to drink a mix of charcoal water ever couple of weeks, but do not follow up with the magnesium unless I want to do a full detox/purge. I might do a full purge every 3-6 months depending on how I've been feeling.
