Essential Oils as Medicinal Survival Aid

As a medical doctor/registered nurse practitioner team, we received conventional medical training at university hospitals while getting our degrees. Since that time, however, we have explored various alternative methods of healing; this is not to replace our education, but as a supplement and as an additional tool in the medical woodshed. Before you say this is all a bunch of hooey, take a look at any conventional medical text from 100 years ago. All the old-time standard medical books refer to essential oils, herbs, and all sorts of treatments involving the use of natural substances. What was conventional medicine then is considered alternative medicine now. You have to expect that a major disaster will limit (or eliminate) your access to pharmaceuticals; therefore, you should be well acquainted with other means of keeping your people healthy.

One class of alternative remedies that are commonly used is Essential Oils. These substances are called “essential” because they capture the “essence” of the plant.  Unlike cooking oils, such as olive or corn, these oils are less fixed and more volatile. That means that they tend to evaporate easily, unlike the “fixed” oils, which don’t evaporate even in high temperatures. As such, essential oils are popular in aromatherapy.

Although you might not realize it, you’ve been using essential oils all your life. You’ve no doubt used them in soaps, furniture polishes, perfumes and ointments. Although it only takes a few leaves of peppermint to make a tea, it takes 5 pounds of leaves to make 1 ounce of essential oil. One source states that it takes an entire acre of peppermint to produce just 12 pounds. The same source says that 12,000 rose blossoms are required to produce a tablespoon of rose oil! These concentrated versions are the ones you see marketed in small, dark bottles.

The Murdering of Our Daughters

by Dave Hodges - The Common Sense Show

“I just wish someone had warned me about Gardasil… My Jasmine would still be here with us.”

Rhonda Renata

According to the mother of Jasmine Renata, aged 18, her daughter was murdered by Merck. There was no autopsy, no official recrimination of Merck, just a grieving mother left to bury her only daughter.

Unfortunately, this scenario is being played out time and time again and nobody is holding Merck criminally accountable for the all-to-deadly results of Gardasil. The reckless use of this killer vaccine continues unabated despite the fact that Merck was recently ordered to pay six million dollars to another parent of a daughter that was murdered by Gardasil. Patient safety be damned.

The Twinkie apocalypse is upon us: Closing of Hostess causes nationwide junk food preparedness surge among desperate Americans

CP note: Pretty funny, thanks Mike Adams! LOL



(NaturalNews) Dear fellow junk food aficionados: A great chapter of American history is coming to an end. The Texas-based Hostess company, the producer of Twinkies, Ho Ho's and other fine pastries, has been gutted by a union dispute and is closing its doors for good. A total of 18,500 people will lose their jobs, but even more catastrophically, we will no longer have Twinkies!

Hostess Brands Inc. today announced that it is winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to close its business and sell its assets, including its iconic brands and facilities. Bakery operations have been suspended at all plants, says a statement on the Hostess Brands website.

This is devastating news for America.

It means we can no longer sit around our couches as happy slobs, eating off one end of a Twinkie and sucking the sugary goodness out of it like a human junk food suction machine.
It means we can no longer eat away our emotional pain on a lonely Friday night through the "self medication" of three boxes of chocolate creamy Ho Ho's.
