Anything you want that is not a scheduled drug.

I’ve often wondered, if the SHTF and you cannot get a scrip from your Dr., are there any OTC veternarian antibiotics that would be effective for human use?

What is the best storage method for the longest possible shelf life of antibiotics? Arid and humid. Anybody know?

Just order anti biotics like Cipro and Amoxicillin from the Canadian Pharmacy online. I do it and its made in FDA approved labs. The govt does not stop the shipments unless you are trying to get Oycontin or something like that.

Being sick is no fun.

Being sick in a survival situation can be deadly.

So you should run at least one trial run when you are sick as a dog just so you know what to expect.

I have (unexpectedly) been running such a test for the past couple of week. I now know that I should have at least a week and preferably a month worth of things set up so I can survive with very little physical effort.

Right now chopping wood, grinding grain and other things that normally I can do easily would be very difficult. Five days ago it would have been impossible.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve suffered from infections in the past, when I couldn’t afford to see a doctor.

Don’t forget that natural honey will provide a small amount of anti-bacterial when used as a topical.

A few things.

1) Some doctors use a “trial and error” method for figuring out which is the best antibiotic for a particular problem. This starts by grading the antibiotics from longest in use with most resistance out there, like Penicillin, and if it works, great, and if it doesn’t, try the next one. Of course, unless a particular infection is of a type that is known to respond really well to a given antibiotic.

This is not a bad technique, really, for lesser infections, and saves up your really strong antibiotics for really bad infections.

2) If you are taking antibiotics under any circumstances these days, probiotics are essential, and should be used at alternate times to the antibiotics. This is an effective way to fend off deadly resistant bacteria blooms.

3) Anthrax infection only applies to skin infection, which has a 20% mortality that can be reduced to 1% with antibiotics. GI anthrax has a 25-60% mortality and requires hospitalization. Inhaled anthrax has an estimated 98% mortality with treatment, so don’t bother.

4) Oregano oil, while not a replacement for antibiotics, definitely augments their effects. It is also a very potent pain reliever.

Re: TETRACYCLINE

I notice that Fish Cycline (tetracycline) is no longer available in capsule form from suppliers like Fish Mox Fish Flex.

http://www.fishmoxfishflex.com

They now offer it in powder form as premeasured packets or in bulk.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about using it in powder form?

Any insight would be helpful.

I’m a big fan of the fish antibiotics. It was particularly amusing when I filled a prescription for antibiotics and found that the pills were identical, just more expensive than the corresponding ones for fish.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve had the vendor sites bookmarked, I need to get some ordered.
