Download or read book Family Homeopathy and Survival Guide written by and published by Oftedal. This book was released on with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the number of natural and human-caused disasters increasing dramatically these days, as are dire predictions for the future, you might consider learning how to treat illness yourself when medicines and hospitals are no longer available and you or a family member becomes acutely ill, or, for example, has contracted an infection—a deadly problem without antibiotics. With homeopathy, you can make your own medicines and treat yourself, your family and pets. This book will show you how. You and your family can become independent of medical assistance for most acute illnesses by learning the basic, simple methods presented in this book of how to use homeopathic remedies. Treat acute illnesses yourself at hardly any cost, without needing expensive, toxic and side-effect producing chemical drugs, while improving the general health level and life quality of yourself and those close to you. Here are some specific benefits you can enjoy: Nip the flu in the bud with just one pill as soon as you notice flu symptoms. You are on your way home on a warm day after a long day’s work in an air-conditioned office and notice a sore throat coming on, and that you feel a bit out of sorts. Realizing that a cold is building up, you reach into your homeopathic remedy kit and take an Aconitum 200 C pill. By the time you arrive home, the budding cold is gone. Recover quickly from injuries, operations, childbirth and dental work. After a tooth extraction at the dentist’s, your wife comes home complaining of pain. Naturally she has refused an antibiotic from the dentist, knowing that you will deal with the problem using homeopathic means. She has already taken Arnica 200C from her remedy kit after leaving the dentist’s office. You give her another suitable homeopathic remedy, such as Staphysagria, and the next day there is hardly any pain at all—no antibiotics needed. Cure fear of flying before you travel. You are at the airport going on a business trip, when you meet a friend. She tells you she is afraid of flying and quite anxious regarding her pending flight. You offer to help her with a homeopathic pill, which you tell her contains no chemicals—only information that will stimulate the body to cure itself. She is willing to give it a try. Some weeks later you see her again on the street and she thanks you profusely, as her fear of flying had vanished like magic before boarding the plane. Greatly speed up your child’s recovery from childhood illnesses such as the measles. Your young son tells you that his friend and others at the school have come down with the measles. You implement the homeopathic immunization programmed of giving Pulsatilla 200C once a week while the epidemic lasts, and your son avoids the measles and acquires immunity to the disease. Help your dog or cat, or other pet, recover rapidly from injuries, bites and other traumas. You bring a young cat into the family as a companion for an older cat named Toby you have. However, Toby does not receive the newcomer very well. He hisses and strikes out at your new cat called Sweetie. Not a very pleasant situation, but you know how to deal with it. You add the homeopathic remedy Hyoscyamus 1M to Toby’s drinking bowl one day and two days later on arriving home, to your surprise, you see the two cats cuddled up together on the bed, the best of friends. In extreme survival situations you will be able to treat yourself and your loved ones by making your own homeopathic remedies. Suppose you and your family find yourselves isolated, civilization around you has collapsed, perhaps you are out in the wild to escape deteriorated and hostile city conditions. Your son has cut himself on a rusty metal part while looking for food and he is running a fever. You have learned how to make the correct homeopathic antibiotic remedy for this using a proven method taught in this book. Rather than passing on to another plane, your son recovers completely in some days. Your wife is extremely grateful. Bird flu, or any other lethal flu, strikes and there are thousands of sick and dying people in your town, while waiting for the medical authorities to produce a sufficient quantity of a possibly effective vaccine in six months’ time.

Download or read book Wild Birds and Avian Influenza written by Darrell Whitworth and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 strain has spread from domestic poultry to a large number of species of free-ranging wild birds, including non-migratory birds and migratory birds that can travel thousands of kilometers each year. The regular contact and interaction between poultry and wild birds has increased the urgency of understanding wild bird diseases and the transmission mechanisms that exist between the poultry and wild bird sectors, with a particular emphasis on avian influenza. Monitoring techniques, surveillance, habitat use and migration patterns are all important aspects of wildlife and disease ecology that need to be better understood to gain insights into disease transmission between these sectors. This manual contains chapters on the basic ecology of avian influenza and wild birds, capture and marking techniques (ringing, color marking and satellite telemetry), disease sampling procedures, and field survey and monitoring procedures.--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital, timely text on the viruses that cause pandemics and how to face them, by the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Die. As the world grapples with the devastating impact of COVID-19, Dr Michael Greger reveals not only what we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones during a pandemic, but also what human society must rectify to reduce the likelihood of even worse catastrophes in the future. From tuberculosis to bird flu and HIV to coronavirus, these infectious diseases share a common origin story: human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these pathogens – both pre-existing ones and those newly identified – emerge and re-emerge throughout history, sparking epidemics and pandemics that have resulted in millions of deaths around the world. How did these diseases come about? And what – if anything – can we do to stop them and their fatal march into our countries, our homes, and our bodies? In How to Survive a Pandemic, Dr Michael Greger, physician and internationally-recognized expert on public health issues, delves into the origins of some of the deadliest pathogens the world has ever seen. Tracing their evolution from the past until today, Dr Greger spotlights emerging flu and coronaviruses as he examines where these pathogens originated, as well as the underlying conditions and significant human role that have exacerbated their lethal influence to large, and even global, levels.

It’s how you choose to react to the situation that defines you. We have all heard the phrase “expect the unexpected.” The “unexpected” can range from a broken high heel on your way to an important meeting to having to fashion a waterproof shelter in the middle of a downpour. From her years as an A-list Hollywood stuntwoman and expert survivalist, Ky Furneaux is no stranger to the unexpected, and her ’tude has been key to her survival—and thriving success. In The Superwoman's Survival Guide, Ky draws upon her career of risking life and limb in extreme situations to inspire and empower women in whatever situation they may find themselves, whether it’s on a city street or out in the wilderness. Throughout the book, Ky explains the power of brain versus brawn and how a cool-headed woman is often more effective in a complicated situation than a big guy with a gun.

The Superwoman's Survival Guide shows women how to adopt a fearless attitude that can help them through all life experiences.
