I completely understand. From a 5 second netsearch, I
learned that one of the obstacles to insulin manufacture
is ... *** FDA Approval *** of the company and its facility.
Until just now, I would have thought that this was an
entirely defensible use of government power. I am relying
on “Scott’s Web Log” and his post “Lifting the Curtain
On Insulin Manufacture” for this information. I don’t
mean to distress you. I have relatives in exactly this
situation, albeit adults. For some reason I can’t get the
“we need to prep for a 3 day outage” conversation going.
I guess everyone will have to make up their own mind about these things when preparing for a survival situation. We are planning to be prepared for every contingency.
No kidding!!! This country is in as much if not more danger than it was during the Revelation. We are going to need God’s help to get out of this one. Thanks for the link. It’s been a few years since I read it last.

Instructions are also in my Preparedness Manual
By the way I like your Quote! Lots of good stuff in that movie I especially liked this exchange:
Mack: “It’s a shame what this town has come to.”
Charley: “You could do something about it.”
Mack: “What? We’re freighters. Ralph here’s a shopkeeper.”
Charley: “You’re men ain’t you?”
Mack: “I didn’t raise my boys just to see them killed.”
Charley: “Well you may not know this, but there’s things that gnaw on a man worse than dying.”
Your “doctor, being a good VA functionary” That line
reminds me of Wesley J Smith’s recent post on his
“First Things” blog (Second Hand Smoke). “the devolution
of medicine from a learned and altruistic profession into
a mere technocracy” ... the switch from “professionals”
to “providers”. Nota bene, WJS is entirely opposed to any
plan that would forbid people from spending their own money
(or the voluntary contributions of others) for medical
care outside the “guidelines”.
I spent almost 100 bucks last weekend on an Elite Master camping first aid kit.
All the bandages, creams, etc you could want, plus emergency styptic type stuff, sutures and stats...
I’d love to get my hands on a couple of the kits used for allergies (the Epipen kits) just in case of emergency but cannot find them without a scrip.
A fast and easy water filter can be made as follows...
1. Cut the bottom off of a soda bottle.
2. Line the inside with cotton cloth like a T shirt.
3. Fill the bottle a quarter full of crushed charcoal.
4. Fill it with sand to the halfway point.
That’s it, Pour the water in and let it filter through. That will remove all the dirt and most of the bugs, though it would still be a good idea to purify it by boiling or using a chemical purifier if you can.
Depending on what exactly it is you need, farming supply stores will often have them, no prescriptions needed. I’d suggest getting a pill crusher and a scale, though. The tetracycline might come in bigger doses than you want :p
Another alternative to insulin that doesn’t need refrigeration (especially if it is more expensive than traditional insulin) is to get a super-efficient small frig that can be powered by 1 or 2 solar panels. Just make sure that you get the other equipment you need (deep cycle battery, charge controller, inverter) and that you shield anything electronic from EMP prior to needing it. Here’s one example: http://ecorenovator.org/diy-superefficient-fridge-1-kwh-day/
By the way, getting something like this would save money every single day - which makes money available to stockpile essential food, medicine, etc.
“Same thing with they turn the faucet and there’s no water. Handwashing is very important.”
Hand sanitizer - mostly alcohol. Kills 99.9% of germs, and the jelled alcohol can also be used as a very effective fire starter. Stock up at a warehouse club
Good idea. Also propane powered frig. They are both a bit on the pricey side though.

See my link in post #97. I've used these guys for years...they have Cipro too. (Anthrax)

I looked up how to do that. The question is, how to test the strength of the resulting solution, and how to test what dosage they need? From what I found it could, in theory, be delivered orally, which means the level of purification needed isn’t quite so high.
Then don’t read “One Second After.”

You use a mouse bioassay to determine potency.
Absolutely correct. I want to be prepared, too, I wasn’t trying to shut you down. In my state it was illegal to collect rainwater, and then after public outcry, it became legal to collect a little, with a permit. Zonk! Everything will be outlawed before long, I was just giving a disclaimer for anyone who may not know.
(The average U.S. citizen commits 3 felonies a day, unaware of the laws they are violating, food for thought).
