“…as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.” Luke 3:4-6 (KJV)

Treatment For Specific Diseases So…maybe you’re feeling a little overwhelmed at this point. Yeah, I know how you feel, but we are not done yet. Again, it is my goal to give you good working knowledge of this topic, practical knowledge that hopefully in the bad times to come can save your life or the lives of your friends and family. In a modern hospital when we really want to know which antibiotic is best, we get a sample of your blood, urine, spinal fluid, or puss from a wound and grow the bacteria in the lab with a bunch …
Hugh, Another reason for just underpaying your taxes is the increasing amount of tax fraud from people who will file a return as if they are you and claim your refund. What they never do is file for you and pay the small amount due. – C. C. S. o o o Hugh, It’s never, ever good to respond in a fit of anger. So, now that I’m calm, let me quote your letter writer in part: “If one must have a (pretend) “windfall” in April because of one’s lack of discipline or psychological needs…” Hey fella, the tax refund …

Doxycycline (Fish-Doxy) Doxycline is an antibiotic that is a member of the Tetracycline family of drugs. Like so many other bacteria, the tetracyclines come from a soil fungus and were discovered in the 1940’s. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say tetracyclines were rediscovered then because bone analysis of Nubian people who lived about 350AD show they ingested tetracycline likely in a locally brewed beer. The tetracyclines work by binding to and deactivating the ribosomes inside the bacterial cell. Ribosomes are the bacteria’s protein factories, and without it they cannot produce the proteins they need to stay alive. Ribosomal deactivation …
In his recent article, My Experiences And Lessons Learned As A Suburban Prepper – Part 2, by CGman, the author states: “Depending on my tax refund this year…” Many people look forward to getting a tax refund from the government, seemingly because they regard this as “found money.” It is not; any refund on taxes paid is money you loaned the government tax free and have not had the use of some of it for as long as the full tax year. I recognize there are those among us who lack sufficient self-discipline to manage their finances, or who do …

“Paper and digital currency based on debt – which we pretend is money – is a flawed system. A flawed system, some would say a fraudulent system, will eventually crash. $27 Billion daily increase in debt is a strong indication that much is deeply wrong in the global financial system. Perhaps its expiration date is near.” – Gary Christenson (aka The Deviant Investor)

How Do Antibiotics Work? (continued) Antibiotics work in a number of different ways, but perhaps it would just be easier to talk about each one individually. I will focus on the pet antibiotics, since these are the ones most of us can stockpile easily. Again trying to make this as simple as I can, I have omitted many technical details. (A cellular biologist may take exception to what I say, saying “He didn’t even discuss peptidoglycan cross linkages by the DD-transpeptidase enzyme!! Who does he think he is!!??” However, I think most of the prepper army will appreciate omission of …
