Survivalist: How To Treat Infections
One of the very first horrors most of us will face after the collapse will be an almost total lack
of medical aid and medicines. Many of us and our loved ones will sicken and die over things
that wouldn't have even been considered serious before the fall. The main reason for this is the
almost total ignorance of modern man about our ancestral medical remedies that, up until just
60 years ago, had been passed down since the dawn of time from generation to generation.
Below I'm going to teach you how to make the most important of all medicines, penicillin.
You should start making your own as soon as possible and get the art down and have some
in stock because when someone needs it, you won't have time to grow what you need. You'll
need to have it ready. Later on I'll teach you some of the other arts you'll need to know...
Penicillin..The Oldest cure:
Penicillin has been around a lot longer than people think. In fact the American Indians used
it centuries before the white man ever ventured onto America's shores. Oh, they didn't have
syringes and bottles, but they had something almost as good. When a member of the tribe
caught an infection, the medicine man would go out in the unspoiled woods and look for
a particular type of greenish-blue mold. He would bring a large chunk of this stuff back to
camp, clean it, then plaster it over the cleaned wound, which he washed beforehand with
pure mountain water. Wrapping the wound in a piece of hand woven cloth made by one of
the squaws, he would order the inured warrior or child to leave the dressing alone and get
a lot of rest. Within days the infection would be gone and the wound would begin to heal
nicely. This was the earliest known use of penicillin...
And although today most Americans couldn't tell a penicillium mold from a fungus, there are
still easy ways to find and grow it for later use. This mold can be used either alive or dead.
It doesn't kill the infection outright, but instead causes our body to boost its own immune
system to the point it can kill whatever little beastie is eating on you. By exposing the body
to penicillin, it reacts violently, assuming it's another critter out to attack it. This is a cry wolf
that fools the body into creating more antibodies than it needs, which it then uses to kill the
real infection. It was the first of the "wonder drugs" and is still one of the favorites in any good
doctor's arsenal...
Finding Penicillin:
Believe it or not, that funky looking blue mold on that deli salami you bought is none
other than penicillin! Most people peel that off their salami in disgust and toss it in the
trash. That's a really dumb thing to do. Take that rind and keep it. Take a paring knife
to it and scrape the mold off the peel and place it in a plastic container. Leave a piece
of the meat in there with it to keep it alive. Puncture a small hole in the bottle so air
can get in because penicillin is an aerobic bacteria, which means it needs air. That
way, even after it eats up the meat and lies dormant, you will be able to revive the
spores any old time you want by placing a small portion of it in with some more
cured meat or damp bread or old cantaloupe, which is one of this particular mold's
favorite foods. But always remember, even dead penicillin is good stuff. Never throw
it out. It could save your life or the life of someone you love. Antibiotics are going to
become as valuable as gold and as rare as chicken lips, so you'll have the market
cornered.
To mass produce the stuff, get you one of the following: Cantaloupe, black soil, corn
mash with sugar added. Make sure whatever you use is damp, then place it in a large
sealed container that has plenty of air in it. Leave a small hole though, because it will
eventually use up the oxygen and need more. Place your containers in a warm, dark
place and let the mold do its thing. Yeah, it looks nasty alright, but remember, this is
the good mold. You can make sure it's penicillin by starting out with salami or cantaloupe
mold, which are two mediums where only penicillin will grow. I've included a pic so you'll
have an idea what to look for. Remember, this stuff is a life saver, so put up with the
grossness and do what's necessary...
How To Use It:
The safest way is the old Indian way, which is by making a poultice or patch and applying
it to the afflicted area. But if the infection is internal, you'll need to dry the stuff up, grind it
to a powder, then feed it to whoever is sick. As far as dosage goes, I myself would use it
by the gram. One gram twice a day, orally. I wouldn't try injecting it because it's not been
processed and could cause more harm than good. If after two days you see no improvement,
double the dose. If it fails to help after this, then it's something beyond penicillin's power.
And with the introduction of so many third world toilet bugs into our beloved land, there's
going to be some that nothing can help. But as a rule, penicillin is a life saver, so memorize
what I've shown you here.
