Why You Absolutely Must Have Food Supplies, Hard Assets and Reserve Cash
SHTF Plan ^ | 6/11/12 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 06/11/2012 5:37:40 PM PDT by Kartographer

The latest warning signs are, once again, popping up in Europe and should be taken seriously, as it is only a matter of time before such events play out in the rest of the world, including right here at home:

Via Adiconsum Italia – Translated via Google

BNI depositors unable to make withdrawals / payments, payments of utility bills, mortgage payments, taxes

Peter Giordano, Adiconsum: “Grave of the Bank of Italy’s attitude that takes action without considering the impact on depositors, and especially on single-income families and pensioners”

The Bank of Italy authorized the suspension of payments by Bank Network Investments SpA (BNI) without communicating anything to the depositors.

Very serious and unacceptable – says Peter Jordan, Secretary General Adiconsum – the attitude of the Bank of Italy SpA in each BNI, because highly prejudicial to the interests of customers.

Bank of Italy, in fact, after extending the receivership of the bank, thus giving the impression of an imminent rescue, then gave the green light for compulsory winding up, without giving any prior notice to the depositors, leaving them in no condition to perform any type of operation, even basic ones for daily survival, such as withdrawals / payments, utilities payments, rates, taxes.

Use of antibiotics will put you out of action quickly.

Learn to use more effective things like fresh garlic, oregano oil, tea tree oil, etc.

You cannot treat a systemic infection with garlic or oregano oil. Think, "Better living through chemistry".

Uh- no. I’m speaking from over 20 years of experience in low tech medicine as an 18D Medic and Remote Duty Paramedic.

You are nevertheless quite mistaken.

Fresh garlic, chewed slowly feeds alicin directly to the blood through the tongue, and the gums, which is carried to the deepest recesses of the body where it breaks down even bio films that have been deposited for years.

It can beat any bacterial infection, from the joints of your toes to the recesses of the inner ear, or the basal ganglia.

The main trick is to chew it slowly, 3 or 4 cloves at a time, and not swallow it until it has no more alicin to release.

I raised 6 kids without antibiotics, and they are passing the bounty on to my grand kids. Life is good when you realize that you really don't need the allopathic bunglers at all.

That’s interesting about chewing the garlic. How many times a day, on the average, would one need to chew it up like that?

Say for a bacterial infection, an average sized adult.

>> “Have you used Clark’s zapper for root absesses?” <<

.
Yes, I have.

I've also used it on boils.

My wife has used chewed Apricot seeds on a root abscess successfully too.

The key on dental zapping is to get on it before it becomes so painful that treatment is unbearable. If the gum becomes involved it can hurt really bad to even touch the gum.

I try to chew at least three times per day. There really is no limit though, since garlic does no harm whatsoever. (it may loosen up your bowels)

Thanks. I should really get one of those zappers. I use garlic medicinally sort of hit and miss; did treat kids and self for pinworms years ago when doc medicine didn’t work.

I actually do not like garlic at all, especially raw (shudder) but it’s infinitely to be preferred over anti-biotics, and if this method works (sounds strong!) I will try if if needed. Added I am seriously allergic to most pharmaceutical drugs I’ve had (and therefore rarely ever use them).

Once you get used to how much Garlic can do for you, you’ll like it more and more every day.

As a kid, I used to shudder when my grandfather would munch garlic cloves like almonds or cashews, but the man was as strong as an ox and never seemed to get sick, until the day he slipped and broke his femur badly. The hospital managed to destroy his health completely in two weeks of drugs and bad diet.

What does the zapper do? Kill the nerve endings? Kill bacteria?

"That seems to be something of an oxymoron. I have looked and deep cycle batteries are good but they ain't cheap. Where do you get the cheap ones?"

About three years ago, I bought several pairs of golf cart batteries (12 volts per pair, each pair connected in series and paralleled to the next pair) at Sam's Club for about $80 each (if I remember correctly). Trojans at that time were $144 each (IIRC). The Sam's Club batteries have done about as well as Trojans would.

I used to do home facials using kitchen ingredients. Worked wonderfully. Maybe I’ll do one today; if anyone’s interested, I’ll give some ideas on the method and ingredients.

Here’s the general idea.

1. Massage the entire face and neck with a good oil - sesame (refined) is good for most skin types including “mature” skin, or thin or dry skin, or average, coconut for skins sensitive to heat and inflammation, almond oil or sunflower for skin prone to being oily. The oil could have appropriate essential oils added - ask me if you want to know some.

2. Prepare very hot water and a big bowl and towel, and gently steam the face, don’t burn it, but hold your head over the bowl and let the steam soften and open the skin. Again, appropriate EOs can be added judiciously to the water if desire.

3. Then prepare a paste of oatmeal flour and/or besan flour (available in Indian or Asian food stores), either plain flour and water, or could have yogurt, milk or some powdered herbs added to it. Turmeric is good for all skin. Gently rub the flour paste into the skin and let sit for a while. Alternately, the flour could have clay mixed in (green clay is considered to be the best but any bentonite will work). It is very drying and drawing, so use caution with clay. It is especially good for oily or skin prone to pimples. It has many wonderful uses but with delicate skin it’s better to use the flours and then try adding a bit of clay next time and see how it works.

Let dry a little - not until hard - and wash carefully off with lukewarm water and wash cloth.

3. Rinse with clean lukewarm water with a bit of vinegar added, to normalize Ph of skin.

4. Now you can get creative - apply with the palm or sprayer either pure rose water or pure orange flower water, I buy at Asian stores or some natural food stores. Food grade waters cost around $3 for a 12 oz bottle, Eurasian brand (IIRC) is good, so is Cortas. I buy many bottles at once as I don’t live near any good stores, and I use these waters for many things. The rose water has to be entirely natural. Sometimes it’s sold at natural food stores or elsehwere but unless it’s food grade 100% natural it’s no good.

5. If you want, before the floral water you can make a fruit paste and apply and leave on for some minutes (any kind of fruit really), or cucumber mash.

6. After the floral waters dry, then very sparingly and gently massage in a light skin oil - I am currently using apricot kernal oil with essential oils added, I make myself.

I haven’t done this in a long time but I really should. It really doesn’t take all that long and isn’t carved in stone, you can vary ingredients and leave out steps. Just applying cream - heavy cream - to the face every night, rubbing in well, for a while is amazing. Especially for those not much above 40 (so I’ve read anyway). I did it for a while at age 42 and people who knew me were asking me what I’d done because my skin looked so good.

ears ago I had a job picking berries for a couple of summers and one of the other gals working there told me a older woman she knew who had beautiful skin told her the secret. The older woman had worked as a milkmaid at a dairy, milked cows for years, and would always take some of the top milk or cream and rub into her face.

I do have very few wrinkles, staying out of the sun helps with that too.

The zapper puts out a 30 KC 9 volt pulsating D.C. current that kills bacteria, and some viruses.

It will also relax you, and put you to sleep.

I have 16 Sam’s batteries that are now 14 years old and still doing fine thanks to the desulfators that keep them clean.

I also have a pair of L16s that are the same age, and also doing fine for the same reason.

Check your water 3 times per year minimum.

Thanks. They do gas pretty heavily, sometimes, because of the elevation over 9,000 feet here (less atmosphere overhead, temperature extremes, etc.). Great charging, though.

From the info in your comment, the plates are probably pretty thick when new. That’s great!

I would think the risk of explosions caused by shorts would increase with age and will avoid getting complacent on safety before and during maintenance. I’ll have a look at desulfators, for sure.
