Natural Antibiotics for Preppers

Penny is really getting into the natural medicines and herbal remedies of the past.  Today she wanted to share some of what she has learned and some of the information she has gathered.  The subject is so huge that one podcast cannot cover everything, so expect more podcasts on natural medicines in the future. Natural antibiotics seemed like a great topic to start on with.  This is a priority in prepping, because man-made prescription meds will be difficult to obtain if systems break down.  Antibiotics are so important in health care, but are unfortunately extremely over prescribed.  Not only are they over prescribed for humans but pumped excessively into the foods we consume, especially meat.  Plus over exposure to anti bacterial soaps, lotions and all the other trendy stuff, has weakened our natural resistance to microbes and made the microbes more resistant to the cures.  Not so with natural cures; even though they may take a little longer to work, natural cures boost your immune system and cures what ails ya.

For those who believe in the " grow what you'll use" philosophy, take the time to look at the page I put up called Historic Bethabara Medicinal Gardens.  Spend a few minutes reading about the gardens and what they grew. You will really love it and I think you'll get a lot out of it and maybe you can incorporate some of the ideas into your own garden.  Penny loves to go there and think, she says she can hear "the echos of past lives".  I'll bet you'll find some familiar things there too.
