Antibiotics Post SHTF

[River Song]

There are a number of issues developing.

Some are well worn, e.g. If we have a civil emergency, will it be permanent of temporary and if temporary how long. Some take the view that it will be permanent.

If this is so then everything including medicines will at some point run out. In that case we are certainly back to herbals and we need to have some understanding of HOW they work even if the efficacy rate is only 10% - it's better than 0%

(Herbals generally work (if they work at all) but attacking the symptom in a so-called natural way.)

Homeopathy works by giving you extremely small doses of exactly what ails you. So for example, I once went down with glandular fever badly and was treated with very small doses of glandular fever, on the basis that you "treat like with like". It worked. (Interesting that the royals all use it!!)

Science will have none of it because it works on the basis that more is better when homeopathy works on the basis of "less is stronger" because if it is very tiny, then your body works harder to attach the foreign substance, i,e. treat like with like.

Coming back to the original questions - I would personally stock up on all medicines - never throw away anything and when that runs out move to herbals or homeopathy, whatever floats yer boat.

If the emergency is permanent you're gonna have to move to herbals anyway but if, as I personally suspect, that the emergency will be temporary but sustained (upto 1 year) then your storage of medicines will be vital.
