We have a tremendous problem in the US with drug-resistent "super lice". Probably from all the illegals. It's a big problem in Mexico, too. Stock up.

Yes it does. Many times they won't prescribe but works like a charm. :)

Ivermectin works by paralyzing the lice and killing the so-called "nits," which are their little eggs.

For one thing......NO!!!!!! to antibiotics!! There are SCORES of NATURAL, NON TOXIC antibiotics out there in Nature. Second, I am quite sure that there are an equal amount (SCORES) of NATURAL remedies for lice, out there. THEREFORE, *my* advice is, start 'doing your homework', NOW!

Big Pharma 'antibiotics' TRASH the Human Immune System, among MANY other health issues.

In a dire emergency with no doctor/nurse/pharmacy, I don’t have time to screw with “natural”, with due respect. No one should be popping antibiotics in the first place. And when the shtf, I want everything at my disposal. Infection is what usually kills people. And I agree that there are definitely natural cures.

You won't survive what is coming, then. There will be NO 'doctors', nor pharmacies. You MAY find a 'nurse' within your community, but if they are anything like the QUACKS (fake doctors) out here now, that 'nurse' will be worthless.

WE have to become our own doctors. And that starts NOW. (it started YEARS ago, for me)

There are plenty of websites, books and videos out there to learn. Take notes, save videos, buy books. And when the time comes, you'll be PREPARED to be your own doctor for yourself and your loved ones.

I guess people STILL have not gotten this phrase through to their brains yet...."NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU!". LEARN the SKILLS that you WILL NEED, NOW. Our 'pharmacy' is out in the woods, literally. When there is no more pharmacies.....KNOWING what is in 'those woods' will become a matter of life and death! HERBS (as in the ones people cook with), are a START to ones 'pharmacy'. (and EASILY grown!)

EXAMPLE: Do you know what to do for a poisonous snake bite? There are NO 'doctors'.....what do you do?? ANSWER: As per Dr. Edward Group, the person bitten by the snake should DRINK THEIR OWN PEE! (Dr. Group has a vid about drinking ones own urine....that I highly recommend)

Actually, I’ve been preparing for years. Why wouldn’t I stock up on “essentials” while I still can? I’ve been ahead of the game for YEARS.

Antibiotics and hydration salts should be in everyone’s medicine chest. All pediatric medications are weight based so if you have littles figure it out before hand and not under duress...

Buy electrolyte powder and buy fish antibiotics (the same as human, USP).

Yes, and hurry. That loop hole could be closed off soon. Vets are always lobbying to do so. I get my abx that way. Stocking up on Panacur (fenbendazole), Clindamycin, restocking doxy (expires every 2 years), Cipro and Amoxy. Looking for horse paste, IVM and would do w/ doctor if I could find any online. Have grape flavored hydration packets. Remember to boil water! Your tap might not be so good w SHTF

Thank you!

If this comes to pass I will have no problem cutting all my hair off. I isolate from most people now. Won’t be a big change for me.

Gees Mia. So much for helping your neighbors!

I’ve been saying this for years and I’m sure you’ll agree with me. Guns and ammo are good to have, but the roving bands of marauders and raiders ain’t as likely to get you as much as the two big H’s —- Hunger and Hygiene.

Be well, Michael.

ZMS. Much easier, relatively, to control the two big H’s and to survive than to effectively defend against marauding (gangs). Think armed marauders. Think mercenaries. Think fighting aged men paid to enter the US and are progressively being distributed nationwide. To meet up and blend in with and support decades long existence of domestic enemies ripe and waiting for insurrection. Arms caches available to them. They have no US National loyalty. Some have been accumulating arms incl RPGS for decades right here in the US. Then add the generationally disaffected folks who simply want a fight. Who want to rape and pillage. Just for fun.

Hmmm. My community is NOT ready for such. Neither are our LEO’s. 911 inoperative. Public services faltering. That’s the context of the big H’s. Civil chaos. That arrives before H and H if you are prepared. Which hopefully most readers of Michael’s blog are and are becoming.

Completely agree. Most of us are armed well enough to hold the fort until the cavalry arrives, but the cavalry will either be busy with bigger problems or just not there anymore.

A (not "The") solution might be to be a hard target for the casual looter and a worthless target for the organized raiding parties. I will be the first to admit that's a difficult balance to find.

Expand full comment

ZMS. Agreed. LEO’s will, probably, in that kind of chaos will either be busy enforcing law, staying out of harms way themselves, depending on gang strength numbers, or at home defending their families. Not a happy outlook. In any fight of the magnitude we are talking here the course of action may include cheating!

Along the same lines, I hear antibiotics will not be available so this is something else to consider getting now.

So many changes made to protocols just before something happens and the changes become detrimental to the outcome. For example, in UK 2019 - post-viral pneumonia was not to be treated with antibiotics which meant the elderly died in greater numbers the following year. Now lice. I had no idea typhus was caused by lice.

Not "caused".... Transmitted.

Michael, do you have a Rumble where those interviews can be viewed and shared from?
