ARE YOU PREPARED TO SURVIVE THE NEXT DISASTER?

I was a Boy Scout growing up, and I'll never forget our MOTTO:

"BE PREPARED!"

When I think of all of the natural disasters and other disasters that have struck America in the last 10 years, I can't help wonder how many people's lives could have been saved - IF they had been prepared before disaster struck.

As a nation, the American people over the past 10 years have experienced terrorist attacks, hurricanes, floods, fires, tornados, earthquakes, civil unrest, martial law, and war. How many people have died in these disasters that could have been saved - IF they had been prepared?

The purpose of this blog site is to HELP PEOPLE GET PREPARED TO SURVIVE THE COMING DISASTERS that are only going to intensify over the next several years.

I WANT TO HELP YOU BE PREPARED TO SURVIVE what's coming next, and for you to be able to help others during the coming emergencies. The year 2012 is just around the corner, and coming with it will be many super-disasters that will shake the world and cause utter devastation. The super 3-fold disaster in Sendai, Japan, earlier this year, combined a super earthquake with devastating super tsunamis and a super nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi power plant. What happened in Japan was a warning and wake up call to the rest of the world and especially to America. Now is the time for Americans to prepare for similar super-disasters and worse that are sure to come to our nation in 2012.

Now, let me ask you a few key questions:

1. Do you have enough food stored away for you and your family for 6 months? What will you eat when the whole commercial transportation system is shut down for 3-6 months and the shelves in the grocery stores empty within 24 hours of the disaster?

2. Do you have long shelf-life dehydrated fruits and vegetables stored away as well? Have you stored up sufficient amounts of grains, rice, beans, sugar, salt, cooking oil, peanut butter, canned meats, and necessary toiletries?

3. Do you have enough natural spring water stored away for 6-12 weeks in safe containers and do you have a high-quality water purifying system that doesn't use electricity?

4. Do you have a way to heat water and to cook food that doesn't use electricity? Do you have a back up heat source in your house in case the electrical grid is shut down and gas and heating oil are not available for months?

5. Do you have a survival kit that includes things like first aid kit, flashlight, batteries, extra warm clothes, sleeping bags and blankets, toilet paper, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, bug spray, hats, compass, radio, flares, matches, cups & plates & utensils, and anything else you would need to live outdoors with your family for 6-12 weeks?

These are just a few of the questions that I hope will get you thinking about how prepared you are for the coming emergencies and disasters. If you don't have these basic things stored away in your garage or basement, then you're really not prepared for what's coming.

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED - beforehand, meaning NOW! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon. You do not need to live in fear and anxiety - IF you're prepared to survive and overcome through whatever disasters strike next. BE PREPARED!

Is Colloidal Silver Really the "Silver Bullet" Against Potentially Deadly Viral Infections?

2011-03-26T22:37:00.008-04:00

Published by Life & Health Research Group, LLC., P.O. Box 1239, Peoria, AZ 85380-1239. For more information on colloidal silver see www.LifeandHealthResearchGroup.com

This article is published by Life & Health Research Group, LLC,

and can be found at the following website:

http://www.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/

While there is no argument that colloidal silver is the world’s most powerful natural antibacterial and antifungal agent, the ability of colloidal silver to protect against viral pathogens has not been fully established by the medical community until recently.

Thankfully, surprising new medical research reveals that silver may well be your #1 defense against viruses as well. Here’s what the medical evidence demonstrates…

The recent outbreak of the strange new so-called “Swine Flu” hybrid virus – also called H1N1 – has just about everybody in the natural health community asking the same two questions, i.e., What’s the single-most powerful all-natural anti-viral substance in existence, and where can I get some?

And they’re asking these two important questions with very good reason. After all, flu vaccines have proven themselves to be worthless against mutant viruses. And as has now been widely reported, the popular prescription flu drug Tamiflu is also worthless against most viruses, and in fact has never been shown to be effective against the so-called “Swine Flu” virus.

What’s more, Tamiflu has been known to cause startling mental disturbances in patients taking it, including psychotic episodes leading to death, particularly in young children and teens. The nation of Japan has even banned Tamiflu use by children and teens after 18 deaths were reported. And in some countries warnings of Tamiflu’s brain-altering effects must be posted by law on packages of the flu drug.

Safe, Natural, Highly Anti-Viral

Fortunately, safe, natural mineral silver, in a variety of forms, including colloidal silver, has nearly three decades worth of solid medical research behind it, demonstrating its powerful anti-viral qualities.

Indeed, newer research demonstrates that silver is so powerfully effective against viruses, it even stops the deadly HIV (i.e., the AIDs virus) from infecting human cells. And older research dating back to the 1980’s demonstrates that silver can stop numerous types of viruses from replicating, simply by bonding to them.

In fact, silver altogether decimates many viruses, simply by being in close contact with them.

Tiny Nano-Particles are the Key

The key, as you’ll discover throughout this report, is in the size of the silver particles.

They must be very small silver micro-particles – i.e., what is more commonly known as “nanosilver” – in order to exhibit such powerful anti-viral qualities.

In this special report, you’ll discover some of the most convincing medical evidence demonstrating that nano-scale sized silver particles – which is to say, very small particles of silver measured in nanometers (nm) – are the single-most effective all-natural anti-viral substances on the face of the earth.

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue

What’s more, you’ll come to understand why colloidal silver – the popular nutritional supplement known as the world’s most powerful natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent – is very likely your #1 best bet for all-natural, non-drug protection against potentially deadly viral agents, too, as long as it contains tiny, nano-scale sized silver particles.

Finally, you’ll also learn the 7 critical steps you must take now in order to keep yourself and your family protected against viral infections of all kinds. And you’ll learn how to be fully prepared in case the global Swine Flu pandemic – or some other nasty mutant hybrid viral pathogen – rear its ugly head in your area.

But first, let’s start with the clear, factual growing body of medical evidence on behalf of the powerful antiviral qualities of safe, natural silver.

The Famous HIV Study

In June 2005, the prestigious journal Nanobiotechnology published a ten page study that rocked medical science.

The study was the result of seven scientists’ exploration into the virus inhibiting qualities of nanosilver – very tiny, invisible particles of silver measured in nanometers. (A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or one-ten thousandth of a hair’s breadth.)

What the study demonstrated is that these tiny nano-scale particles of silver were able to inhibit HIV-1 (i.e., the AIDS virus) from binding to host cells, in vitro.

What this means is that in the test tube, when the researchers placed the AIDS virus alongside human cells in a medium that would normally allow the virus to bind with the cell (and thus cause viral infection), the introduction of tiny nano-particles of silver into the medium prevented the binding from taking place.

In other words, the silver particles stopped the infection from taking place.

The study abstract reads as follows:

Abstract

“The interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules and microorganisms is an expanding field of research. Within this field, an area that has been largely unexplored is the interaction of metal nanoparticles with viruses.

In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with HIV-1, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1-10 nm attached to the virus.

The regular spatial arrangement of the attached nanoparticles, the center-to-center distance between nanoparticles, and the fact that the exposed sulfur-bearing residues of the glycoprotein knobs would be attractive sites for nanoparticle interaction suggest that silver nanoparticles interact with the HIV-1 virus via preferential binding to the gp120 glycoprotein knobs.

Due to this interaction, silver nanoparticles inhibit the virus from binding to host cells, as demonstrated in vitro.”

While silver’s well-known toxicity to a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens has been thoroughly documented in previous research by many leading research facilities, this study takes the previous research to a whole new level.

For the first time, the long-proven antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles were applied to a highly infectious form of virus with no known cure. And the interaction between the metallic particles, the virus and the cells were studied.

The scientists tested a variety of particle sizes. And they also tested the idea of coating the tiny silver particles with several different surface chemistries including a “foamy carbon matrix,” a polymer and a protein molecule. The goal was to determine if any of these substances would help stabilize the silver particles and aid the silver’s anticipated reaction with the virus.

What they discovered, however, is that only the ‘free surface’ silver nanoparticles in the range of 1 to 10 nanometers interacted with the HIV-1 cells.

Silver Nanoparticles Rule!

This basically means the silver needed no help from the other substances. In fact, anything added to the basic silver nanoparticle served only to prevent the metal’s interaction with the viral microorganism!

What’s more, according to the study, only the very smallest silver particles inactivated the virus’ ability to bond with the host cells. Larger particles did not.

Ultimately the study found that the tiny silver nanoparticles no larger than 10 nm were able to bond to the deadly viral microorganisms and prevented the virus from bonding with the host cell. No bonding to host cell, no viral infection!

Colloidal Silver Beats the Smallpox Virus

But HIV is not the only virus silver has been demonstrated to be effective against.

In a study published in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal back in September 1992, it was found that that several different preparations of colloidal silver showed amazing efficacy against the smallpox virus.

Two medical colloidal silver preparations were used, one called Collargol, and one called Protargol. The latter was apparently a diluted preparation.

The study showed a 700 times reduction in the concentration of viral particles when Protargol was applied, and a whopping 11,000 times reduction in viral particles when the more highly concentrated Collargol was applied.

Silver Inactivates Herpes Simplex Type I and II Viruses

Going back even further, a study conducted in 1972 at Department of Microbiology, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan demonstrated that the Herpes Simplex Virus types I and II were totally inactivated by low concentrations of silver nitrate, which is a more caustic, chemical form of silver.

According to the study, silver nitrate caused so much damage to the viruses, they simply could no longer cause infection.

EPA Approves Use of Colloidal Silver
Spray Disinfectant that Kills Viruses on Surfaces

Moving forward to recent years, even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now approved silver for certain antiviral purposes.

As reported by the Silver Institute (a group which keeps silver investors appraised of all of the new uses for silver in business and industry), the EPA has recently approved the use of a product called Axen30, a liquid spray disinfectant similar to colloidal silver, for use in child day-care centers, preschools, schools, gymnasiums and children's activity centers.

Axen30 is a dilute formula consisting of 30 ppm silver used as a spray disinfectant. But here's the interesting part:

The EPA-approved advertising claims for Axen30 include a 30-second kill time and a 24-hour residual kill time on standard indicator bacteria, a two-minute kill time on the resistant bacteria MRSE and VRE, a 10-minute kill time on fungi, a 30-second kill time on HIV Type I, and a 10-minute kill time on other viruses.

Now that’s amazing – a proven 30-second kill time against HIV (i.e., Human Immunodeficiency Virus, aka the AIDS virus), and a ten minute kill time against other viruses!

Silver Compound in Countertops Eliminates SARS Virus

One of the most feared viruses now being studied by scientists is the SARS coronavirus – a upper respiratory virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, leading to death in a large preponderance of cases.

It has been found that while SARS spreads through the usual routes, such as the airborne route caused by coughing and sneezing. But a large percentage of infections by this virus are caused when the virus simply lands on a countertop and sits there, awaiting someone to come by and touch that countertop, then touch the virus to their eyes, ears, nose or mouth.

Perstorp, a Swedish manufacturing company based in Italy, manufactures a special polymer from which countertops are made. What makes the Perstorp countertop unique is that extremely tiny nanosilver particles are impregnated into the polymer.

Upon human contact, the nanosilver-impregnated polymer begins emitting silver ions. This unique silver ion-emitting polymer was developed for use with products such as toilet seats, door knobs, and other common contact surfaces.

According to news reports, the compound was successfully tested by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control against SARS, which has a particular interest in public safety due to the numerous SARS virus outbreaks of the past few years in China.

Zhang Panhe, professor at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in China, recently stated, “We tested the compound against a four-hour, eight-hour, and 24-hour exposure period and found no surviving SARS virus upon 24 hours of exposure to the polymer...”

In other words, when the polymer was purposely contaminated by the SARS virus, it began killing the virus within four hours, and had killed all SARS viruses on the surface within 24 hours.

This special silver-impregnated polymer is now in use in many hospitals, laboratories and medical research facilities throughout China.

What’s more, many variants of silver-impregnated polymers are being used in similar medical-related facilities around the world, in order to help stop the spread of potentially deadly bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens.

Monkeypox Virus Inhibited by Silver Nanoparticles

Even some of the most exotic viruses have been demonstrated to be sensitive to silver.

According to a study published in volume 3, number 4, April 2008 edition of Nanoscale Research Letters, very small silver particles (10 nm in size) significantly inhibited the infectivity of the Monkeypox virus.

The study was conducted in conjunction with the Applied Biotechnology Branch, Human Effectiveness Directorate of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

The study’s authors concluded, “These results demonstrate that silver-based nanoparticles of approximately 10 nm inhibit Monkey Pox Virus infection in vitro, supporting their potential use as an anti-viral therapeutic.”

According to Wikipedia.com, monkey pox virus is usually transmitted to humans from rodents, pets, and primates through contact with the animal's blood or through a bite. Its symptoms can be difficult to distinguish clinically from smallpox (to which it is closely related) and chickenpox (to which it is not related).

You may remember news headlines back in 2003 regarding an outbreak of monkey pox virus in the U.S. midwest, among owners of pet prairie dogs.

What this demonstrates is that very tiny micro-particles of silver, known as nanosilver, are even effective against exotic viruses such as those coming from animals! If that doesn’t put you in mind of the recent “Swine Flu” scare, in which the infectious agent was shown to be a hybrid of swine, bird and human viral parts, I don’t know what will.

Silver Prevents Replication of Hepatitis B Virus

In a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Hong Kong, it was demonstrated in vitro (i.e., in the test tube) that very tiny silver particles have the ability to interact with viral DNA in such a way as to prevent replication, whether the virus was inside the host cells (i.e., inside human cells, where viruses would normally replicate) or outside the host cells.

This is especially important, because it implies that silver can not only prevent viruses from infecting cells, but can also stop cells that are already virally infected from spreading the infection.

According to a research abstract from the University of Hong Kong, the scientists examining the action of silver particles on the Hepatitis B virus “hypothesize that the direct interaction between these nanoparticles and HBV double-stranded DNA or viral particles is responsible for their antiviral mechanism.”

The scientists point out that this only demonstrates the effectiveness of very tiny silver particles against the HBV (i.e., hepatitis B virus), and not necessarily other viruses. Nevertheless, once again we have a study demonstrating conclusively that very tiny particles of silver have the ability to interfere with viruses, preventing them from interacting with human cells and causing infections.

According to a news article about this study, the researchers discovered that

“…ultra-tiny silver particles could reduce the extracellular DNA formation of HBVs by over 50 percent, and could check their intracellular RNA formation, too.

'Silver nano-particles have special properties such as larger active surface and porosity so that they can easily bind with small molecules,' China's XINHUA news agency quoted Lu as saying, referring to a hypothetical explanation they had put forward on the new antiviral mechanism.

'The finding provides a new direction for developing new anti-HBV drugs, with nano-particles used as drug carrier to enhance the antiviral efficacy while minimizing the undesirable side effects,' Lu told a press conference Monday.

The young researcher said there are currently only two kinds of drugs approved for treating chronic HBV infection, namely immunomodulators and nucleoside analogues. But their uses are affected by side effects and drug-resistant mutations.

Hepatitis B is one of the worst killers as it chronically infects over 400 million people worldwide, with certain developing countries and regions hit hardest.

Lu said silver nano-particles have an additional distinct advantage. It is unlikely that HBV can become resistant to silver nano-particles because the interaction is determined by the physiochemical properties of the tiny particles."

Is Colloidal Silver the “Final Solution” to the Coming Viral Plagues?

Finally, two highly respected researchers, Dr Eric Gordon, MD and Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, writing in the prestigious Townsend Letter for Doctors, believe colloidal silver is the answer to many forms of viral infections, including serious upper respiratory viral infections such as flu pandemics.

They point out in their article titled A Promising Cure for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Pandemics, Including the Avian Flu: Has the Final Solution to the Coming Plagues Been Discovered? that, “the collective authoritative medical literature has documented efficacy of silver's virotoxicity against over 24 viruses.”

What’s more, the authors state that the 200-plus viral strains known to cause upper respiratory tract infections, including most flu viruses, will also most likely succumb to the powerful antiviral qualities of very small particles of “oligodynamic silver" (i.e., a medical reference to silver being extremely powerful even in small quantities).

In fact, the authors point out that silver is likely going to be the answer to any future global viral pandemic, stating “A broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that really works is needed to combat over 200 viruses that cause Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. Undoubtedly oligodynamic silver fits this bill...Emerging medical studies confirm the stellar, broad-spectrum virotoxic efficacy of oligodynamic silver both in vitro and in vivo.”

Indeed, the authors state, not only has silver been demonstrated to decimate many of the viruses associated with deadly viral flu infections, but it has also been proven to decimate most of the well-known bacterial pathogens that cause serious secondary infections during a viral infection, including the following:

Streptococcus pneumonia
Corynebacterium diphtheriae
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzae
Bordetella pertussis
Mycobacterium (Tuberculosis)
Inflammatory conditions of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat
Spring Catarrh
Pneumococci
Pneumonia

It is these secondary bacterial infections that often kill the infected individual, once the flu virus has sufficiently weakened the body.

But colloidal silver’s powerful, broad-spectrum anti-pathogen qualities covers such a wide range of pathogens you can easily see why the report’s authors – both respected medical doctors – refer to it as “the Final Solution to the Coming Plagues.”

Experts Now Recommending Colloidal Silver
for Swine Flu and Other Viral Pathogens

In spite of an FDA crackdown on companies touting colloidal silver as a Swine Flu preventive and remedy, a number of high-profile medical researchers and related experts have been recommending colloidal silver as a first-line of defense against the Swine Flu and other viral pandemics.

These include Dr Eric Gordon, MD, Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, DO, Major General Albert "Bert" N. Stubblebine III (former commanding general of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command), Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, Dr Rebecca Carley (the vaccine expert) and many others.

Even Pravda, the top newspaper in Russia, recently recommended colloidal silver for the Swine Flu, stating:

“The best defense against swine flu, or any flu, is the age old remedy of colloidal silver. The metal silver in its colloidal state can be safely consumed and used in the body. Bacteria and viruses cannot develop resistance to colloidal silver. Silver disables a vital enzyme and mechanism in all bacteria and pathogens so that they cannot survive. It is good to take a few teaspoons of colloidal silver daily to maintain health. More colloidal silver should be taken if experiencing illness.”

Dr. Gordon Pedersen Recommends Colloidal Silver

Dr. Gordon Pedersen, Ph.D., an expert in toxicology and virology who writes for the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and is Director of the Institute of Alternative Medicine, has recently joined the ranks of those advocating for colloidal silver usage in the face of coming viral pandemics.

In his new article, “Swine Flu Influenza Type A/H1N1 Protection for Health Care Practitioners and Their Patients,” published in the Anti-Aging News Journal, he repeatedly recommends silver to stop not only the hybrid virus itself, but also the secondary bacterial infections that cause diseases such as pneumonia, which set in after the body has been weakened by the virus.

(As noted earlier, it is often the secondary bacterial infections that seriously disable or even kill the patient, rather than the virus itself which often only weakens the patient allowing other more opportunistic pathogens to move in and take hold.)

Here is a brief example of what Dr. Pedersen has to say about using Silver Sol (a colloidal silver solution) against the Swine Flu and other Influenza type A viruses, as well as the secondary infections that accompany them:

“Influenza viruses are the respiratory viruses of greatest public health importance, particularly Influenza A. Every year 36,000 people die from Influenza making it the 6th leading cause of death in America…

…Silver Sol provides proven prevention and treatment against viral and bacterial infections, while there is nothing else with such broad spectrum benefits. In addition, Silver Sol can be safely taken every day for prevention where it has been shown to provide protection against the very dangerous Bird flu H5N1…”

The Nano-Particle Difference:
Good News and Bad News

As you’ve seen throughout this report, silver is without a doubt one of the single-greatest natural antiviral agents on the face of the earth. And its broad-spectrum antibacterial qualities are indisputable.

However, the size of the silver particles is one of the most important factors in the ability of silver to disable, or even decimate, such a broad spectrum of viruses.

Indeed, most of these studies have demonstrated one simple fact: the smaller the silver particles are, the better they work, with silver particles of 10 nanometers (nm) or less in size being the most effective against viruses.

The truly good news is that colloidal silver products containing silver particles of that size – known as micro-particle silver, or nanosilver, for short – are readily available in health food stores and through online vendors.

However, the bad news is that these products are frequently very costly, due to the uniquely small characteristics of the silver particles they contain when compared to conventional brands of colloidal.

In fact, a tiny four-ounce bottle of true nanosilver can cost as much as $25 to $35 depending upon the brand, and the size and quality of the silver particles it contains.

The problem is this: four ounces is only about enough colloidal silver for three or four days worth of treatment for a single person with a severe viral infection – not nearly enough should a serious viral assault strike home. After three or four days, you’d have to get another costly bottle, and perhaps another, and another, depending upon the size of your family and the number of people infected.

Meanwhile, in a pandemic situation, everybody else will be making a mad dash to their nearest health food store for nanosilver, also. And within days, shelves will easily be stripped bare. So even if you can afford it, you might not be able to get enough nano-scale colloidal silver to do yourself and your family any good.

Big Pharma Threatens NanoSilver

What’s more, in less than a few short months, commercial colloidal silver products containing silver nano-particles may not even be available for over-the-counter sale any longer.

That’s because, earlier this year a broad coalition of environmentalist groups funded by major drug companies declared that nanosilver is a “threat to the environment,” ostensibly because it has the potential to kill microorganisms they claim could be “ecologically important.”

What’s more, these groups – including Friends of the Earth and the International Center for Technology Assessment – petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban the sale of nanosilver products and regulate them as “pesticides,” requiring stringent safety testing and costly environmental impact reports before any nanosilver product could be put back onto the market.

This of course, would have the effect of taking just about every commercial colloidal silver product off the market forever, since few companies could afford the expensive environmental impact reports costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

These drug company-funded environmental groups specifically targeted numerous brands of colloidal silver, demonstrating in essence that they were acting at the behest of Big Pharma which wants nothing more than total control over the treatment of viral pandemics such as the Swine Flu and others (think vaccines, and drugs such as Tamiflu).

When this was discovered, we were the very first to sound the alarm in the natural health community, and thousands of dedicated colloidal silver users rallied against the petition, swamping the EPA public comments systems with pro-nanosilver comments.

Unfortunately, the well-funded environmental groups used outright lies and dirty tricks to overwhelm the EPA public comments system with anti-nanosilver comments from their worldwide membership bases.

Interestingly enough, the big drug companies helping fund the environmental groups that are pressing this campaign to force the EPA to ban nanosilver products are among some of the very same drug companies developing new vaccines and drugs against the various pandemics they claim are coming!

The bottom line is that very soon now the EPA plans to announce their decision regarding whether or not to adopt the petition to regulate nanosilver products – including nano-scale colloidal silver. Depending upon which way their decision goes, you simply may not be able to obtain colloidal silver products containing the needed nano-scale silver particles at any price, any where.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof solution you can take advantage of, if you can see the handwriting on the wall, and have the courage and foresight to act quickly and decisively.

A Powerful Solution Worth Taking Advantage Of

You see, there is now a way to make your own high-quality nano-scale colloidal silver – also known as micro-particle colloidal silver – for only a few pennies per quart, using a brand new breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology called the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com.

Yes, you read that right. You can actually make your own high quality nanosilver colloidal silver, one quart batch at a time, for only about 36 cents per quart batch.

Indeed, independent laboratory testing demonstrates that with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator you can make silver particles as low as .0008 microns, which is just .8 nanometers (nm). That’s a fraction of a single nanometer in size!

Saving Lives

Thanks to the advent of the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com, there’s no longer any need to worry about running out of nano-particle colloidal silver and not having enough to go around during a deadly viral crisis. And there’s no reason to worry about store shelves being stripped bare of nanosilver during a true pandemic. Finally, there’s no longer any need to worry about the EPA banning the sale of colloidal silver products containing nano-scale silver.

That’s because, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com in your corner, you’ll literally own the means of nano-scale colloidal silver production.

Therefore, you can make all of the safe, completely natural, high-quality nano-scale colloidal silver you’ll ever need, any time you need it, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, a full one-quart batch at a time.

Indeed, you can make each one-quart batch of safe, absolutely pure, high-quality nanosilver for about the cost of the loose change you’d normally find under a couch cushion. And, as the video at this link demonstrates, it’s as easy to do as brewing a pot of coffee.

Having the means of nano-scale colloidal silver production at your fingertips puts you firmly in the driver’s seat, and gives your family a solid added layer of protection against infectious disease in this age of mutating pathogens and hybrid viral outbreaks in which we now live.

Best yet, the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator is the only colloidal silver generator on the market today that produces such uncommonly small silver particles, giving you the nanosilver advantage literally for the rest of your life.

Be Ready to Take Care of Yourself and Your Family

In the event of another viral pandemic (and you’d better believe they have one planned), you really have only two choices: Depend upon the government, or be prepared to take care of yourself and your family.

In Mexico City, where the early 2009 pandemic started, the government health care system basically collapsed overnight. In part this was because they simply weren’t prepared for such a rapid viral onslaught with so many casualties in such a short period of time, and in part this was because a lot of doctors simply packed their bags and left town after so many people started dying.

That’s why you saw numerous photos of Mexican policemen handing out surgical face masks to passing motorists. It was pretty much the only recourse the Mexican government had left, next to closing down the city’s businesses and public buildings.

Would it be any different if it happened here in the U.S.? My advice is this: Don’t wait to find out.

Being able to make all of the high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver you could ever need for about 36 cents a quart will give you a powerful sense of self-reliance and peace of mind, knowing that if medical authorities here in the U.S. ever lose control during a national or global health crisis, as recently happened in Mexico, you’ll be ready and able to take care of your family.

To get a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator today, simply click the link and order online.

Or you can call our good friends at The Silver Edge toll-free, 1-888-528-0559 and order anytime, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm Arizona time.

In Conclusion…

I began this special report by stating, “The recent outbreak of the strange new so-called ‘Swine Flu’ has just about everybody in the natural health community asking the same two questions, i.e., What’s the single-most powerful all-natural anti-viral substance in existence, and where can I get some?”

Hopefully, this report has answered those two vital questions for you. Owning the means of nano-scale colloidal silver production is probably the #1 smartest thing you can do right now.

And being able to produce true nano-scale colloidal silver – quickly and easily, any time you need it, in the comfort and privacy of your own home – is without a doubt the single-most important ability you can have for the protection of yourself and your family, as well as your friends and loved ones.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that medical research clearly demonstrates the fact that very small nano-scale particles of silver are the single-most effective all-natural anti-viral substance on the face of the earth.

And considering the alternatives (i.e., ineffective Tamiflu and potentially dangerous and untested vaccines), it may well be your only hope for achieving maximum personal and family protection in this age of strange and potentially deadly diseases in which we now live.

So if you haven’t done so already, make sure you act quickly and decisively and order a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator today, from our good friends at TheSilverEdge.com.

Waiting until the last minute is never a good choice, as you well know. The EPA has even been making noises about banning colloidal silver generators, too (see The Coming Ban on Colloidal Silver Generators). So there is simply no telling how long these phenomenal little devices will still be legally available.

The big drug companies simply want no competition whatsoever for their dangerous vaccines and worthless anti-viral drugs. And without a doubt in my mind, colloidal silver represents the single-greatest threat to their multi-billion dollar annual monopoly on these drugs and vaccines. That’s why the powers that be are pulling out all stops in order to have access to nanosilver removed from the market.

In short, the sooner you own the means of colloidal silver production, the sooner you’ll be in the driver’s seat, and won’t have to worry about finding an effective natural means to help your family and friends during a major health crisis.

Your Risk-Free 100% Money-Back Guarantee!

It’s that simple. They take all of the risk for 30 days, while you put their unit to the test. And then you decide. If you're dissatisfied for any reason, just let them know and they’ll cheerfully refund your money.

Your One-Year Limited Warranty!

What's more, you can rest easy because each generator is fully warranted against defects in parts and workmanship for one full year. If it fails to work for any reason (i.e., short of abuse – they are extremely rugged, but not indestructible) The Silver Edge will either fix it or replace it.

These sturdy generators are made of the highest quality materials and electronics, and have literally been built to last for a lifetime.

Unlike the cheap little "throwaway" generators and "mudmakers" offered by other companies, the electronic components in these generators are rated for at least 10,000 hours at peak load. And since the units utilize far less than 1/10th of peak load to make colloidal silver, they should last for well over 100,000 hours! In other words you'll probably end up willing your new generator to your children or grandchildren someday.

9.0 Earthquake and Tsunami Devestate Japan

2011-03-23T21:30:00.005-04:00

9.0 earthquake shakes the east coast of Japan, centered off the coast of Sendai, resulting in a multitude of small aftershocks and a multitude of deadly tsunamis that completely wipe out entire villages and destroy a large section of cities like Sendai.

This is such a painful tragedy for Japan at this time, as well as for me because I used to live in Sendai. Sendai was my home for about a year while I was a missionary in 1996-1997.

The video below is heartbreaking to watch.

Comments:

1. The first and most important thing you can do at this time is to PRAY for Japan while it goes through the painful awakening to what has happened, to pray for the nuclear plant meltdowns to be contained, to pray for their leaders to tell the truth and to take every initiative to help the people who have lost so much, and to pray for people's hearts to be turned towards God and away from all of the worldly distractions of this age.

2. Do some research to find out how and where you can donate funds to help the victims of this tragedy. Use wisdom and discernment.

3. Learn the lesson that we must all prepare for sudden events like this NOW. This involves being spiritually prepared by living your life deliberately and by reorganizing your priorities. This also involves being serious to prepare for emergency disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc. Of course, preparation includes stocking up on plenty of water and food, medical supplies, and other key resources such as water purification systems, canned goods, batteries, first aid kits, etc. Also, have a pre-arranged emergency plan to follow with your family members.

Hurricane Season - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-09-04T21:45:00.005-04:00

HURRICANE SEASON:

A TIME FOR TRAGEDY & DESTRUCTION OR A TIME FOR PREPARATION & OVERCOMING?
With Hurricane Gustav now passed,
America is facing two more huge storms,
Tropical Storm Hanna and Hurricane Ike.

This year will demonstrate whether or not
America learned her lesson from Hurricane Katrina
several years ago.

Whenever I hear of an approaching tropical storm or hurricane,
the first thing that comes to my mind is the word "PREPARATION."

THE QUESTION arises: ARE PEOPLE PREPARED?

Have people learned the lessons that Hurricane Katrina tried to teach us?

Have people learned to take action and forethought and actually prepare
ahead of time for approaching storms and hurricanes?

I guess we'll find out over the next few days and weeks as hurricane season
comes roaring back to America in full force.

I encourage you to do all that you can do NOW to PREPARE for these and
other coming storms.

One of the first and most important things you can do is to store up NUTRITIOUS SURVIVAL FOOD ahead of time.
One of the best kinds of foods that you can store up is
DEHYDRATED FOOD with a long shelf-life and high nutritional value.

However, you must be warned. Most of the survival food that is being sold
is NOT very nutritious at all. Most of it is made up of highly processed food
that lacks any nutritional integrity. In other words, it has enough calories
and carbohydrates to keep you alive during a disaster, but most of it
does NOT provide your body with the REAL nutrition it needs to function
at its peak, to give you the energy you need, and to keep your immune system
functioning at it's best to protect you from sickness, disease, stress, etc.

I strongly recommend that you find a live whole food based nutritional product
that is in a dehydrated powdered form that locks in the nutrition until it is
mixed with water and consumed. This is simply the very best kind of
disaster nutrition or survival food that your body really needs during times
of extreme crisis and disaster.

My personal favorite choice of a live whole food nutritional product is
called "The FEAST," and is made by Uri International.
Uri has a whole line of dehydrated concentrated juice powders
that are loaded with the most powerful nutrition on the planet.

Whether you buy some of these Uri products or some other whole food products,
the most important thing is that you take action NOW
and PREPARE for the coming natural disasters such as these
tropical storms and hurricanes.

Below is the latest News Information from MSNBC News Services

"WILMINGTON, N.C. - Some Southeastern states declared emergencies and officials urged residents to head inland Thursday as Tropical Storm Hanna headed toward the U.S. Atlantic coast, where it could bring high winds and rain from South Carolina all the way to Maine. Meanwhile, disaster planners cast a wary eye to a ferocious-looking Hurricane Ike strengthening in the Atlantic. And with power outages and other problems from Hurricane Gustav still lingering in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other relief groups could soon find themselves juggling fallout from three storms.

Rain and wind from Hanna could start as early as Friday night in the South, where some residents shuttered houses and stocked up on food and sandbags, coastal parks closed and schools canceled events and changed sports schedules.

Hanna's maximum sustained winds were 65 mph, but forecasters said it could become a hurricane before hitting the U.S. At 8 p.m. EDT, its center was about 580 miles south-southeast of Wilmington and moving northwest at 14 mph."

5.4 Earthquake Hits CA - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-07-29T21:33:00.003-04:00

STRONG 5.4 EARTHQUAKE
SHAKES SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

This earthquake struck near Chino Hills, southeast of Los Angeles.

It was felt as far away as San Diego and Las Vegas.

Below is the link to this breaking story from Fox News.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,393781,00.html

I have precious family and friends living in southern California.

Whenever I hear of a strong earthquake hitting such a densely populated metropolitan area, I always fear that too many people are NOT PREPARED to survive and overcome the devestation that such disasters can bring. I pray that this one did not, but I also pray that more and more people would take serious precautions and start NOW preparing for what is sure to come in a much bigger and more tragic size.

NOW is the time to prepare for disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes,fires, etc.

SCIENTISTS: GIGANTIC EARTHQUAKE
WOULD DEVASTATE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Dear friends,

After watching what just happened in China with
a large earthquake and tens of thousands of deaths
and casualties,
we need to pay attention to the signs of the times.

These things are warnings to us,
to people everywhere,
to PREPARE FOR NATURAL DISASTERS NOW.

Are you prepared to survive a massive earthquake in your home town?

Are you ready to help your neighbors who aren't going to be prepared?

Have you taken practical steps to prepare to
not only survive a massive earthquake or other natural disaster,
but actually overcome and help others overcome through it all?

Below is an article that just came out on FoxNews.com

I see it as a warning to everyone to get prepared now.
Don't put it off any longer.

Now is the time to have emergency supplies ready and on hand
for such a time as this.

Now is the time to store up some disaster nutrition and food
that will provide you with health and strength through trying times.

Now is the time to have a plan put in place regarding what you
and your family will do when the next massive disaster strikes.

Preserving Food - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-04-09T16:05:00.005-04:00

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO PRESERVE THE NUTRITIONAL INTEGRITY OF WHOLE FOODS SO THAT YOU CAN STORE THEM FOR EMERGENCIES AND DISASTERS?

When you look at all of the ways companies use to "preserve" food today, you quickly realize that many of these ways of preserving food actually "kills" the nutrients in the food itself making the product a "dead" product.

For example, any time you cook a food at temperatures over 100 degrees F, you end up killing most of the enzymes and nutrients. This is one reason why canned food and pasteurized drinks and products are not a good choice if you're concerned about nutrition and your health. Sure, it's cheap and easy to store, but it's anything but healthy. It's been cooked to death and then loaded up with preservatives, salt, sugar, etc. to make it last longer on the shelf. You really don't want to store up a bunch of lifeless cans of soup and vegetables because they won't provide you any nutrition during times of disaster.

Stay away from food that has been "pasteurized" because it has been heated to such a high temperature that no only has all the bacteria been killed, but also all of the good bacteria and the vitamins and enzymes have all but been destroyed.

You'll also want to stay away from any food that has been "irradiated." This is a very unhealthy process by which food is exposed to ionizing radiation in order to kill bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, and insects that might be present in the food. The problem is that it also kills all the good bacteria in the food, the good microorganisms, and affects the food itself in a very negative way.

Another factor involved in preserving food is how long a food is subjected to heat or drying. The longer the process, the more the nutritional integrity of the food is compromised and destroyed.

FACT: The more you dry a product, the more stable and less susceptible it is to nutritional loss.

INTRODUCING THE INSTAFRESH DRYING PROCESS

I would like to introduce you to a new Revolutionary InstaFresh Drying Process that was developed by David Uri LeBaron.

This proprietary drying process takes newly harvested organic and naturally grown fruits, vegetables, greens, berries, nuts, seeds, and sprouts,

and makes them into whole food purees and freshly-pressed 34 degree F liquid juice.

Then the InstaFresh low temperature drying process turns this juice into a concentrated dry powder within 30 seconds with temperatures that average 65 degrees F and that never exceed 98 degrees F. This ensures the whole food powders retain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, live enzymes, amino acids, and phytonutrients as nature intended - all within hours of harvest.

The RESULT? A unique, concentrated whole food-based InstaFresh juice powder that locks in the nutritional value of these fresh, delicious fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. This unique, nutrient dense, whole food powder is easily digested and assimilated by the body. In order to consume these powders, all you have to do is to mix them with water (or juice) and drink them.

The company that invented this proprietary drying process is URI International, and the flagship product of this company is called, "THE FEAST." It contains 30 antioxidant rich fruits and berries, 30 powerful greens and vegetables, 11 nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts; 72+ fulvic minerals and 9+ active plant-based enzymes, and 22 resilient living probiotics.

If you would like more information about this unique, revolutionary, cutting edge drying process and delivery system, click on one of the links below.

Grocery Store Junk Minerals - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-04-03T16:12:00.006-04:00

Let me begin by apologizing for not posting any new content for quite a while. The truth is that I've been moving my family into a new home and have been super busy getting all the moving done, the new home prepared, the old rental house cleaned, etc. Today is one of the first days that I feel like I actually have time to work on adding new content to my blog. Thank you for your patience and for not giving up on this important emergency disaster preparedness blog or website.

SPECIAL ALERT:

WHY MOST GROCERY STORE MINERALS ARE "JUNK"!

Most minerals supplements found in grocery stores are made from isolated or inorganic minerals. These types of minerals are not water soluble and are difficult for your body to absorb. According to experts, your body can assimilate NO MORE THAN EIGHT PERCENT of inorganic minerals you consume from these supplements. Just 8%! [Info. from TRC Nutritional Laboratories, http://www.trccorp.com/]

The best way to get the minerals you need each day is from plant-derived hydrophilic minerals. These minerals are 200 to 2,000 times smaller than inorganic minerals, plus they're water soluble and more easily digested by your body. In fact, almost 100 percent of a hydrophilic mineral can be absorbed by your body and made available for use.

The key phrase here is "plant derived" or "plant based." Yes, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and the thousands of naturally occurring nutrients found in plants, fruits and vegetables give you better nutrition than isolated synthetic vitamins - almost 100 percent. And as you'll see, The Feast [by Uri International] makes it easy for you to get this superior form of nutrition each and every day.

The above information was taken from a new and respected publication called Real Nutrition News Special 2008 Issue, Volume 1.

Sobering Words - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-03-07T16:28:00.001-05:00

GEORGE CARLIN SPEAKS SOBERING WORDS...

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stock room. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

George Carlin

Emergency Radios - Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-03-03T11:57:00.006-05:00

Emergency Radios for Natural Disasters and other Emergencies

Please take a few minutes and visit this link. You really need to do a little bit of research on the internet to find just the right kind of emergency radio for you and your family. This is one item you do NOT want to be without during a disaster, emergency, crisis, or national or regional emergency.

Corey Deitz shares the scoop on 7 different emergency radios, some of which are hand cranked.

I personally believe that every family should have some kind of emergency radio set aside for times of emergency, crisis, and disaster. I would recommend buying one that can be hand cranked that doesn't rely on batteries or electricity. It's better if you can find one that has several other functions on it such as a flashlight, solar panel, etc.

Check out this informative article on Emergency Radios by Corey Deitz.

SEVERAL WAYS TO STAY PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY DISASTER SITUATIONS

These are some very practical things that you can do on a daily or weekly basis in order to STAY PREPARED for times of emergency.

#1. Always Keep Your Gas Tank Above the Half Full Mark

I confess that I'm notorious for letting my gas tank get all the way to empty and even below the empty mark. I often let the warning light come on and then continue to drive for another 20-45 miles. I realize now that this is a very bad habit and not good for my engine. In addition, when an emergency arises, I will not be prepared for it.

Why is it important to keep your gas tank on the full side? The reason is that when a disaster strikes, the gas in your tank could become extremely valuable to you. You may need it to drive your family out of a dangerous area that is threatened by hurricanes or tornados, or you may need it to run your car for a week or two if the local or state government shut down gas stations or enforce a quarantine in your area.

#2. Always keep your heating oil tank and/or your propane gas tank at least half full.

If you do this, you will be much more able to endure a long power outage when freezing weather could be a threat to your life. During winter blizzards, ice storms, hurricanes, etc., the power can be out for days or even weeks. It's always wise to have extra heating fuel or gas on hand to live through those long cold days and nights when no service truck is even able to reach your house.

#3. Always keep the propane tank to your gas barbecue at least half full. We did this when we lived in California under the constant danger of earthquakes. Having an outdoor gas barbecue is a good back up way to cook your food if the electricity goes out for an extended time or if the gas is shut off because of the danger of fire after an earthquake.

#4. Always store plenty of fresh drinking water for yourself and your family. Water is probably the most important and most valuable asset you will have during and after a disaster. Safe healthy drinking water is the most important as you and your family will need to drink it. You'll also need plenty of water for cooking, cleaning, and washing purposes. See one of my earlier postings on the best kinds of containers to store your water in safely.

What Is Survival - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-02-22T14:52:00.004-05:00

WHAT DOES "SURVIVAL"
MEAN TO YOU?

A friend of mine, Ken Youngquist,
recently started his own website called: "SurvivalTek"

Ken is a survivalist and has some great resources on his website.

Below is one of his entries that I thought you'd benefit from reading.

26 Nov 2007 Entry

"Survival means different things to different people. Some folks these days envision hardship ahead, perhaps economic ruin. When they think of survival, it is more akin to homesteading, or off-the-grid living. My focus is "how to stay alive when stranded" along with "how to use the resources on hand".

There is an often taught guideline that goes like this: we are limited to 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 30 days without food. In cases of extreme cold we might speak in terms of hours. These guidelines help us prioritize our actions.

Escape would be the number one priority in a life threatening situation such as being involved in a plane crash or burning vehicle. Protect yourself from further danger and move to a safe area. Treat any severe injuries that were sustained. After that, finding shelter is extremely important, especially if you are in a remote area or if inclement conditions exist. You will want to think about signaling methods to solicit help or rescue. Making a fire can provide a source for signaling, warmth, and cooking. Not as immediately necessary is finding water for hydration. Once you have stabilized your conditions you can take time to assess your situation and take stock of your resources. In the short term, food can be more of a luxury than a necessity.

Every situation is unique, but knowing the priorities puts us in the best possible position."

Long Power Outages - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-02-20T16:47:00.003-05:00

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR LONG POWER OUTAGES?

Every year people have to deal with power outages as a result of snow storms, tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, earthquakes, etc.

If the power is out for only a few hours or part of a day, it's not a very big deal.

However, it is a big deal if it goes out for more than a day during extreme weather conditions such as cold or heat. If you have a lot of food stored away in your freezer, power outages can also cause you to lose your frozen food.

Are you prepared to live for 3 days or 7 days without power?

If not, you should consider getting a gasoline or kerosene generator that you can use to provide electricity to your house. Another option is to have propane gas on hand and have gas appliances. A third option is to at least have a wood stove stored away, along with some firewood to use to heat your home in the case of a major power outage.

These are just a few options for you to consider. It is something that you need to think about beforehand, so I encourage you to do some research now and make provision for this very probable emergency situation.

NOW is the time: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Strong Immune System - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-02-18T16:44:00.003-05:00

Food for Thought that Could Save Your Life One Day Soon

If you're not taking care of your body today, in terms of what you are feeding it and in terms of exercise, what chance does your body have when a disaster or emergency strikes?

In other words, emergencies and disasters bring with them a lot of extra stress to your mind and to your body. Disasters are emotionally overwhelming because they suddenly and often without warning, alter or shatter our lives and daily routines. All of this puts an enormous amount of STRESS upon your mind, your emotions, and your physical body.

In order for your body to handle that stress, as well as your mind and emotions, you need to be prepared by cultivating a strong healthy body now based on optimal nutrition and plenty of exercise.

Think about it for a minute. How does a government prepare its citizen to deal with the incredible stresses of battle and war? They don't just draft a bunch of men and send them off to war. No, they first send them to basic training or "boot camp" in order to get them physically and mentally prepared for battle. In boot camp they shed excess weight, build strong muscles, get in top physical and mental shape, so that when they are eventually sent into battle, they are ready and their bodies and minds can handle the incredible stress that they will encounter and live under.

You and I need to think the same way about preparing for disasters. We need to enlist in the disaster preparedness army now, put ourselves through our own "boot camp" of health and nutrition training and physcial fitness, so that we are prepared physically and mentally to not only survive the coming disasters, but also overcome through them and be able to help a lot of other people who weren't prepared or who are weaker.

NOW is the time to get prepared. NOW is the time to change your diet. NOW is the time to start eating healthy nutrition. NOW is the time to claim health as your inheritance and create for yourself and your family a healthy and nutritious lifestyle. NOW is the time to get into shape and to stay in shape. NOW is the time to forsake the life of the "couch potato" and embrace the life of the disciplined new army recruit.

If you don't prepare NOW, then you won't be prepared when the disaster strikes. There will be no time to prepare once the crises hits. If you don't prepare NOW, your body will not be able to handle the stress and you will probably get very sick because your immunity level will be very weak from your undisciplined, unnutritious, and unhealthy lifestyle. You NEED to build a healthy immune system NOW. It doesn't just happen to you by itself; you have to work at it and feed your body what it really needs to be healthy and to fight off infection, illnesses, germs, viruses, etc.

DO NOT DELAY any longer! NOW IS THE TIME to prepare yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. Now is the time to build a strong healthy immune system by feeding your body all of the good organic whole food nutrition that you can put into it.

NOW is the time: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with a lot of more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon. You do NOT need to live in fear and anxiety - IF you are prepared. BE PREPARED!

Store 3 Food Groups - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-02-13T13:03:00.005-05:00

Question:
What kind of nutritious food
should I be storing up for emergency disasters?

Answer:
You should focus on storing up healthy food from three basic whole food groups.

According to Dr. Paavo Airola, world-renown nutritionist, the optimum diet for superior health should be made up primarily of three basic whole food groups. These foods are universally adaptable and will supply adequate amounts of all the nutrients required for the maintenance of optimum health, including high-quality proteins in sufficient amounts. It is important to eat healthy and create your daily menu from foods of these three key food groups that are indigenous to your area and grown locally (on organic farms whenever possible). Make sure that your diet is composed of a variety of fresh whole foods from these three food groups.

#1. Grains, Legumes, Beans, Seeds, and Nuts - This is the most important and potent health-building food group of all. The good nutrition of these foods is unsurpassed because they contain the secret of life itself - the germ! The germ is the reproductive power and spark of life in all seeds, and it is essential to life, health, and reproductive ability. This food group contains all of the essential nutrients for human growth and maintenance of health. Even though all grains and seeds are beneficial, it is best to predominantly eat those that your ancestors ate and those that are grown locally.

Contrary to what you may have heard, buckwheat, almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and peanuts all contain complete proteins, which are comparable in biological quality value to animal proteins. This food group is also the best natural source of essential unsaturated fatty acids, which are necessary to maintain health. The vitamin content (especially vitamin E and the B-complex vitamins) of this food group is unsurpassed. Grains, nuts, and seeds are also a treasure chest of minerals and trace elements. Minerals also help balance the body chemistry, especially regarding alkalinity and acidity. This group also contains pacifarins, which increase the body's natural resistance to physical ailments. And finally, whole grains, legumes, beans, and seeds provide the body with necessary fiber and roughage content. This is critical to avoiding all kinds of colon and intestinal tract problems that currently plague our nation as a result of refined and processed foods.

The best grains to eat are buckwheat, oats, millet, and brown rice. Most other grains are beneficial, but be careful with wheat because it is one of the most common allergens today. These grains can be eaten daily in the form of cereal, porridge, breads, pancakes, soups, etc. or sprouted. Cooking grains or sprouting them actually helps release the vital minerals by breaking down the mineral-phytin bond so that minerals can be assimilated in the intestinal tract. The best seeds are flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Beware of sunflower seeds because they are extremely vulnerable to rancidity. The best nuts are almonds and hazelnuts. Do NOT buy roasted nuts and seeds because the high heat renders them carcinogenic. Always and only eat fresh raw nuts and seeds, including raw almond butter and raw peanut butter.

#2. Vegetables - This is the next most important food group to incorporate into your daily diet. Vegetables are a rich source of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Most green leafy vegetables also contain the highest quality complete proteins. Some vegetables, such as green beans, squash, yams, and potatoes, should be steamed or baked. However, most vegetables should be eaten RAW in the form of a daily salad. A few exceptions would be spinach and chard, which contain too much toxic oxalic acid, and asparagus. Cabbage-family vegetables should be either cooked or prepared in lactic-acid-fermented form. Garlic and onions are powerful health-promoting vegetables and should be part of your diet. Other excellent vegetables are Jerusalem artichokes, horse radish, black radish, celery root, and parsley. Be sure to also include root vegetables in your diet such as carrots, potatoes, beets, turnips, parsnips, and yams. Potatoes are extremely nutritious and are best baked or steamed. Keep in mind that potatoes must be kept in dark storage because a highly toxic chemical, solanine, develops when they are exposed to light. Also, be sure to remove the "eyes" (sprouts) of the potato before cooking.

#3. Fruits - Fruits are a powerful source of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, as well as easily digestible fruit sugars. In addition, they are an excellent cleansing food for breakfast, and they can be eaten between meals, but not with meals. It is best to eat fruits RAW, fresh, and in season, because they lose their vitamin content quickly. It is also beneficial to eat sun-dried fruits, but they must be unsulfured and preferably organically grown. Avoid all dried fruits with sulfur preservatives. The best sun-dried fruits to eat are raisins, figs, apricots, and currants. Now, two cautions about eating fruit: eat fruit in moderation and eat fruit on an empty stomach, by itself. Eating too much fruit will put too much sugar into your blood stream, and eating fruit with other foods will cause them to putrefy in your system and lead to poor digestion.

FOOD STORAGE OF THESE 3 MOST IMPORTANT FOOD GROUPS

The first group of grains, legumes, beans, seeds, and nuts can be easily stored in glass jars or metal containers. The grains and legumes can be easily cooked in water. The beans and seeds can be sprouted and then eaten raw. And raw nuts and seeds can be eaten as they are.

Question: How do I best store up on fruits and vegetables which are so important?
Answer: There are several things you can do to store up fruits and vegetables.

First, you can store up sun dried or dehydrated fruits and vegetables in glass jars or vacuum sealed in plastic bags. These will provide you with a lot of nutrition and take no cooking, and they are naturally preserved by being properly dehydrated. Remember to avoid buying "sulpher preserved" dry fruit.

Second, you can keep a supply of several bags of potatoes and other root vegetables in a dark cool place. Just remember to periodically replace them (maybe every 4 months for potatoes and yams and every 6 months for squash). It's surprising how long potatoes, yams, and squash will keep if they are stored properly. I would suggest storing some potatoes, sweet potatoes, various kinds of squash, and yams. All of these can be cooked during a disaster by wrapping them in foil and putting them near a fire to bake.

Third, if you have the space and time, grow produce in your own garden. Be sure to plant plenty of root vegetables, along with other nutritious greens. If you have food in the ground, you'll be better prepared to survive a disaster.

Fourth, make or buy some healthy organic pickled vegetables or lactic acid fermented foods such as sauerkraut which are very healthy for you. Fermented cabbage is very nutritious and can be stored in glass jars for easy use.

Fifth, there is one other way to store up nutritious fruits and vegetables that I'd like to recommend. Find yourself a product like The Feast, by Uri International, that uses an InstaFresh low heat dehydrating proprietary process to take fresh and mostly organic high quality fruits and vegetables, turn them into a juice, and then in 30 seconds, turns them into an InstaFresh juice powder without ever going over 98 degrees. These live whole food based InstaFresh juice powders preserve the nutritional properties of the fresh produce without preservatives and without pasteurization. They have a shelf stability and long-term shelf-life of two years. In addition, it takes less than 30 seconds to mix them with water and drink them, and they actually taste great! Believe me, my kids love them and yours will too. The nutritional value of these InstaFresh juice powders is unsurpassed by anything else in the marketplace.

Here are several of Uri's live whole food based InstaFresh juice powders to consider.

"The Feast" contains 70+ live nutrient dense concentrates from fresh live whole foods, including 30 antioxidant rich fruits & berries, 30 powerful greens and vegetables, 11 nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts, 83+ active enzymes & fulvic mineral blend, and 22 resilient living probiotics. It is literally the most powerful, nutrient dense live whole food nutritional product on the market today. It provides a quality, quantity, and variety of ingredients that is superior to sythetic, pasteurized, or preserved liquid and powder supplements. The proprietary low-temperature drying process concentrates live whole foods and fresh, raw juices into nutrient dense, great tasting, juice powders for the ultimate in all natural convenient nutrition.

"Beyond Berries" is a supreme blend of nature's most nutrient rich fruits and berries. It contains 15 antioxidant rich fruits and berries, 11 active enzymes & fulvic mineral blend, and 22 resilient living probiotics. It has a typical ORAC value (antioxidant value) of 4,140 per serving. It also includes such super fruits and berries as noni fruit, mangosteen, wolfberry-goji, acai berry, blueberry, pomegranate, cranberry, and 8 others. One jar makes approx. 180 fluid ounces of juice.

"Multi Meal" is a nutrient packed high-quality meal replacement that provides protein, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in sufficient quantities. All you have to do is just add water, mix, and drink, and it comes in three delicious flavors - chocolate, vanilla, and orange. Multi Meal provides 20 grams of protein per serving.

In order to meet your nutritional needs during a time of disaster, I would strongly recommend storing up some of these long-term shelf-life Uri International live whole food based InstaFresh juice powders for you and your family. I consider them the most nutrient dense low heat dehydrated survival food available on the market, and I wouldn't be caught without them. All you'll need to do is to remember to store plenty of water and have some mixer cups to shake them up in.

Simply try these live whole food based InstaFresh juice powders for 90 days, and Uri is so sure you'll be absolutely convinced they are the most powerful and effective nutritional products you have ever tried, that they back it up with their ironclad, risk free 90-day money-back guarantee! If you're not 100% satisfied for any reason, you will be refunded 100% of the purchase price. Experience the results for yourself. There is absolutely no risk whatsoever on your part. Quite simply, the products prove themselves!

Healthy Water Storage - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-02-08T12:18:00.000-05:00

Health Question:
What kind of plastic bottles or containers
are best to store your drinking water in
for the next emergency or disaster?

My wife and I drink a lot of natural spring water every day. I'm sure you can imagine, as a result we go through a lot of water every week.

We get out drinking water from a friend's well, so once a week we have to drive over there and fill up our water bottles. In the beginning, we were reusing the light weight thin plastic bottles that we bought at Walmart with bottled water. Then we also started reusing the thicker Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice bottles. Finally, we got tired of filling up so many bottles, so we started using a large 5-gallon hard plastic bottle that you get when you sign up for home delivered bottled water.

Along this water bottle journey, I kept hearing bits and pieces about the dangers of plastic water bottles and how certain toxic substances in the plastic will actually leach into the water itself causing various types of health problems.

Today I decided to do some research on this plastic bottle issue and I discovered some very helpful information that I'd like to share with you. There's quite a bit of information out there based on various scientific studies. However, I'm going to cut to the chase and only share the most critical information. In other words, I'm going to share with you which plastic bottles to use and which to avoid.

One of the most important things for you and your family to store up for an emergency or disaster is good quality spring water. Equally important is the kind of container you use to store your water in.

THE WORST AND MOST UNHEALTHY PLASTIC BOTTLES TO AVOID

Most of these plastics come with a number and a name and an abbreviation for the name because they're difficult to say and to spell.

BEWARE of #7 POLYCARBONATE (Lexan) plastic bottles (including sippy cups and baby bottles). For a while people thought these bottles were safe, but recent research has proven that this plastic leaches Bisphenol A (BPA), which causes various health problems.

BEWARE of #1 PET (polyethylenene terephthalate) plastic bottles. Very unhealthy.

BEWARE of #3 PVC (polyvinyl chloride; aka vinyl) plastic bottles. Very unhealthy.

BEWARE of #6 POLYSTYRENE plastic bottles. You don't want this in contact with your water, drinks, or food. Very unhealthy.

THE BEST AND SAFEST MATERIALS FOR PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES (and FOOD STORAGE)

#5 PP - PolyPropylene.

#2 HDPE - High Density Polyethylene

#4 LDPE - Low Density Polyethylene

You can go on line and do a search for companies that make water bottles with these safe materials.

OTHER WATER STORAGE AND CARRYING SUGGESTIONS

GLASS - Is a very healthy and safe material for storing your water in. Just make sure you don't take it with you when you travel for obvious reasons.

STAINLESS STEEL - This is another good option, especially for traveling, camping, biking, skiing, etc. I would recommend a product I found called Klean Kanteen.

Finally, when buying water storage containers, be sure to buy bottles that have wide mouth openings so that you can do a much better job cleaning them periodically. When you have a bottle with a narrow opening, it's nearly impossible to clean it thoroughly, and you end up with bacteria growing inside the container that you can't get rid of.

I encourage you to shop on-line for the best quality water storage containers to store your natural spring water in for that eventual emergency or disaster. Avoid the wrong kinds of plastic and look for the best kind that don't leach BPA into your water. Surprisingly, many health food stores still carry the unhealthy kinds of plastic bottles such as polycarbonate.

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Biggest Myth of All - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

2008-02-06T12:17:00.000-05:00

The Biggest Myth of All Disaster Myths is this:

"THE GOVERNMENT

IS GOING TO HELP

RESCUE ME."

If there was one very clear lesson that we should have all learned from the Hurricane Katrina disaster, it was that you shouldn't depend on the government to rescue you from trouble when a disaster strikes.

Putting your trust and hope in your government to rescue you is dangerous and could cost you your life and the lives of your family.

I remember watching Hurricane Katrina from my cozy home in southern California while the disaster unfolded. I sat in shock as I saw the city of New Orleans flooded with water and people scrambling up onto their roofs to survive. What was most shocking to me was how long it took for government help to get to the families that were stranded on their rooftops and surrounded by the flood waters. I started counting the days and couldn't believe that three or four or five days had already elapsed without help. Then I saw a few brave souls in small boats going out looking for the living and helping to rescue them. I thought to myself that if I had had a boat, I would have headed for New Orleans and tried to rescue some of the people still stranded on their roofs without food and water to drink.

I just couldn't understand why these stranded people were not getting helped by the government or by hardly anyone else. I wanted to reach out and help but I couldn't from so far away. When I saw all the people stranded at the stadium, I felt the same way.

All of this caused me to evaluate how UNPREPARED we were as a nation, as a government, and as a people for major disasters. We simply were NOT prepared and did NOT act in time.

FEMA proved to be an empty hope for thousands of stranded and dying citizens. The government response was burdened down with mismanagement, red tape, confusion, and disorientation. Instead of a quick and effective disaster response, America watched as local, state, and federal government leaders did nothing, wrestled with authority issues, and blamed one another for inaction.

Fortunately, ordinary people from Christian churches and ministries were prepared to a certain degree and moved into action right away. After studying what really happened, it appears that the most responsive and fast acting people in the whole crisis were Christian churches that mobilized their members to go to the Gulf area and help with the disaster recovery process and the relocation of hundreds of thousands of Katrina survivors.

Let me make an important statement right here on this important issue:

The Christian church in America has always been better prepared and equipped to help the poor and to help people recover from devestating disasters than the U.S. government, FEMA, and state and local governments. If you do your research, you'll find tons of Christian non-profit organizations, churches, and ministries, that are dedicated to helping people get through emergencies and disasters. One example of this is Samaritan's Purse. These churches and ministries supply everything from food, water, clothing, blankets, medicine, medical care, counseling, pastoral care, reading material, sanitation facilities, shower and laundry facilities, etc. The reason the church is better equipped to help disaster survivors is because it is a part of the heavenly calling of the church to do so. It is one of their purposes here on the earth, so there is a special ability from God for the church to help people in this way.

I hope that you have learned the critically important truth that you should NOT depend upon the US government or FEMA to rescue you and help you during and after a major disaster. If you do, you will be greatly disappointed, let down, and angry, if you are still alive, that is.

Where does that leave you? It means that YOU and you alone must take responsibility to protect your life and the lives of your family and neighbors by taking the necessary steps to preparing NOW for future emergencies and disasters. NOW is the time to get prepared! Don't put it off another week. Start today to make a plan to gather the necessary resources, supplies, survival food, etc. that you will need to have stored close by for disasters that are sure to come. Stop believing the disaster myth that the government will be there to help you or to resuce you. It won't!

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with a lot of more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon. You do NOT need to live in fear and anxiety - IF you are prepared to survive and overcome through whatever disasters strike next. BE PREPARED!

Avoid Liquid Juices - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Dehydrated Meals MRE Pack Supplies Kit Bird Flu

2008-02-04T10:29:00.000-05:00

Today I'd like to follow up my previous posting about super juices with some additional information. I'm going to be comparing URI International's Beyond Berries supreme fruit and berry blend with some of its competitors on the market today.

MORE PROBLEMS with LIQUID SUPER JUICES

1. INGREDIENT QUALITY - Liquid berry products typically contain ingredients from a "juice concentrate" or "puree concentrate." Both are created through the use of head and/or vacuum. This denatures and compromises the nutritional integrity of the fruit or berry. In addition, these products may contain as little as 10% of the actual ingredient that the product is being marketed for.

2. EXPENSE - Liquid products are more expensive, particularly when you compare the nutrient content and serving size to Uri's Beyond Berries and the Feast products.

For example, one jar of Beyond Berries powder makes 180 ounces of reconstituted liquid juice, which equals 4-5 jars of any of our competitor's liquid products. The recommended daily serving for Beyond Berries powder is 10 grams mixed in 6 ounces of water. At this serving size, a jar of Beyond Berries powder lasts 30 days and is truly a month's supply.

Most liquid juice products suggest only 1 ounce of their product per day to create a 30-day supply. Did you catch that? Their serving size is ONLY ONE OUNCE!

According to information on the internet, here's how the other super juice products compare.

Monavie, MangoXan, Thai-Go, & Xango only have 24-25 ounces per bottle, all with a suggested serving size of only 1 ounce, providing 24-25 one-ounce servings per bottle.

Berry Young, Himalayan Goji, and Tahitian Noni only have 32-33 ounces per bottle, all with a suggested serving size of only 1 ounce, providing 33 one-ounce servings per bottle.
Now, compare the above numbers with Beyond Berries, which provides 180 ounces of super juice per bottle (300 grams of powder), with a suggested serving size of 6 ounces, providing 30 six-ounce servings per bottle.

In other words, Beyond Berries supplies SIX to SEVEN TIMES as much juice as its competitors per serving size and per bottle!

Beyond Berries is not only nutritionally superior and more cost effective ounce per ounce, but it supplies an adequate amount of each ingredient and recommends an appropriate suggested serving size to allow you to experience supreme health benefits.

3. PASTEURIZATION - Did you know that 98% of the liquid nutritional juice products on the market today are pasteurized? The pasteurization process uses high heat to kill bacteria and harmful microorganisms that create food-borne illness. While pasteurization appears to be a good thing, in reality it is not. The pasteurization heating process not only kills the bad bacteria, but it substantially alters or deactivates the majority of good, naturally occurring live nutrients that we consume the fruit or berry for in the first place!

Don't be fooled by terms such as "flash pasteurization." Pasteurization is just that - a process that always requires heat at a temperature higher than what the majority of live nutrients and enzymes can withstand. Many companies try to smooth over the pasteurization process by saying that their product has been "fermented," but in the end, after the fermentation process, pasteurization still must occur.

4. PRESERVATIVES - Many liquid super juice products contain preservatives such as sodium benzoate and/or potassium sorbate. Without such preservatives, these liquid juices could grow bacteria, naturaly decompose, and become rancid. While it is true that preservatives help prolong the shelf life of a liquid product, they are also known to cause a myriad of "mysterious" health problems. The FDA considers these preservatives "safe" in small amounts, yet anything more than a "small amount" is considered "unsafe and unhealthy." Because the majority of the processed foods we eat contain these same preservatives, it is not "safe" to say that we are getting "small amounts" when you take into consideration the fact that we are consuming these same preservatives on a daily basis throughout our entire lives.

Another commonly used preservative is Ascorbic Acid. Many companies use ascorbic acid in their liquid juice supplement to artificially and inexpensively increase ORAC values and vitamin C label claims, to preserve the product, and to try and compensate for the loss of nutrients due to pasteurization. This is known as "overdosing." You need to know that ascorbic acid is a synthetic, man-made version of vitamin C, and it is a poor substitute for vitamin C from natural whole food sources.

The addition of artificial preservatives and/or synthetic nutrients defeats the purpose of consuming an "all natural health product" in the first place. Our modern diet is already filled with depleted, over-processed foods. URI International believes that a natural food product should be just that - natural. Beyond Berries and the Feast both contain all natural, non-pasteurized berry and fruit powders from the whole food, without any preservatives or synthetic additives.

As you can see, Uri International's Beyond Berries (and the Feast) are far superior in every way when you compare them with the following pasteurized, preservative laden, more expensive, and inferior quality products made by: Vemma, Monavie, Xango, MangoXan, Thai-Go, Berry Young, Himalayan Goji, Tahitian Noni, as well as many other inferior super juice liquid products out there today. The best and only way to go today is with the live whole food based InstaFresh dry juice powders made by Uri such as Beyond Berries, the Feast, BarleyPure, etc.

I hope that the above information will enlighten you and help you make the wisest and healthiest choice when it comes to buying and consuming a super juice product for everyday use, as well as for storing up for that inevitable emergency or disaster when you will need the best nutrition you can get in a dry powdered form. All you need to do is to mix it with water. If you had to, you could eat it as it is. And the good news is - it tastes great!

How to Choose Survival Food - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Dehydrated Meals MRE Packs Supplies Kits

2008-01-31T11:11:00.000-05:00

WHAT KIND OF SURVIVAL FOOD SHOULD YOU STORE UP ON FOR DISASTERS?

This is a very important question that you need to answer. Is it enough to store up canned foods, bottle juices, and dry foods to prepare for the coming disasters?

To answer this question you would need to know something about good nutrition. I've studied nutrition and health for over 25 years, so I'd like to share with you some of the things I've learned that can help you make sure you're storing up the right kind of nutrient dense food and nutrition for a disaster or emergency.

Canned food is NOT nutritious or healthy for your body. It is loaded with sugars, salt, high fructose corn syrup, unhealthy preservatives, and "dead food." Canned food is NOT a good source of nutrition for you during a disaster or at any other time. Canned food is DEAD food and will leave you malnourished. It has been cooked or heated to a very high temperature during the pasteurization process, which means that any good nutrients have been killed by the heat.

What you need to eat during a disaster is live whole foods. You'll need to have access to grains, seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, etc. However, you need to plan as if you will not have any access to live fresh fruits and vegetables from your own garden or from a supermarket. Nevertheless, your body still needs them, so where can you get them in a dehydrated form that has a long shelf-life so that you can store them up for an emergency or disaster?

Your BEST CHOICE is to store up on low-temperature dehydrated powdered super juices that are made with live whole food based nutrition from fresh fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and sprouts - all with no pasteurization, no preservatives, or no synthetic isolated vitamins or inorganic minerals. In this posting I would like to teach you HOW TO CHOOSE A SUPER JUICE nutritional product from the marketplace.

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A SUPER JUICE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT FROM AMONG SO MANY IN THE MARKETPLACE?

There are sooooooo many products and companies out there now selling healthy nutritional products, supplements, and super juice. I'm sure you've heard of many of them such as Xango, Himalayan Goji, MonaVie, Noni-Juice, Juice Plus, Mango-Xan, Thai-Go, etc.

My friend, if you're trying to decide which product is best for you, I'd like to share with you some insight that could help you make the wisest decision.

SEVEN THINGS YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN CHOOSING A SUPER JUICE PRODUCT

The biggest nutritional problems I've found with most of these products and companies include the following 7 issues:

1. Most of them are selling a liquid "super juice" that has been pasteurized and treated with preservatives to keep the product from becoming moldy on the shelf. By law, the FDA requires all liquid "juice" products to be pasteurized, which means that the fruit and/or berry juice has been processed by heating it to high temperatures to kill all bacteria. The process of pasteurization not only kills all of the bad bacteria, but it also kills most of the good bacteria and good nutritional compounds found in the juice. The original raw fruit and/or berry (such as mangosteen, wolfberry-goji, noni fruit, acai berry, etc.)certainly has a lot of powerful nutritive compounds in it, including antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients, etc. However, after undergoing the intense heating involved in pasteurization, the value of those fruits and/or berries have been greatly diminished and destroyed.

Now, let me ask you a question. Do you really want to be drinking a liquid super juice product that has been pasteurized with high heat, that has lost most of its nutritional value, and that has added chemical preservatives? I DON't.

2. Most liquid "super juices" sell you their product in a flashy heavy glass bottle that makes it look very appealing, but is very expensive to ship. However, the down side of this is that if you become a distributor for that product, you will end up having to pay a considerable amount on shipping and handling fees because, as everyone knows, glass is very heavy and expensive to ship. Can you imagine ordering a whole case and the exhorbinant cost of shipping? Even if the company doesn't use glass bottles, and instead uses plastic bottles, every one knows that shipping a heavy liquid product is much more expensive than shipping a light powdered product. Question: Do you really want to be buying and shipping heavy liquid products all over the country? Someone's going to be paying for that expensive shipping - either you or your poor customers.

3. Most liquid "super juices" are centered around one dominant super fruit or super berry. For example, whole companies have been built around noni fruit, or goji juice, or mangosteen, or acai berry. Granted, each one of these are truly "super" fruits or berries, but one super fruit/berry can't possibly have all of the 1,000s of nutritive compounds that a person needs in their diet. Yes, it's a great fruit or berry, but it's not enough. It's just one good food element. What about the many others that we need? Some of these companies have realized this point, and they have recently added additional fruits and/or berries to their formulas for this very reason. Now, instead of having just one "super" fruit or berry, they added 3 or 5 or 9 more to give them a more balanced and rounded product. Good for them, but it's still not enough. Question: Would you prefer getting the nutritional health benefits of 15 or 30 fruits and berries, or benefit only from 5 or 9? How important to you is variety and diversity in your super juice?

4. Most liquid "super juices" offer their customers a daily serving size of only 2 fluid ounces. In other words, a bottle of their super juice is a month's supply, and the daily serving size is only 1 fluid ounce. In my opinion, that is a very very tiny serving size that can't possibly have very much nutritional value over the course of a whole day. Question: Wouldn't you prefer having a daily serving size of 6-8 fluid ounces of your super juice? Wouldn't you feel like you were getting more nutrition from 6-8 ounces versus 1 ounce?

5. Most liquid "super juices" have compromised on the quality of their ingredients. As you're doing your research on various products and companies, make sure that they use all natural live whole food ingredients that are certified organic and/or are free of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Also, make sure that they use NO PRESERVATIVES, NO FILLERS, NO EXCIPIENTS, NO ADDITIVES, NO DAIRY, NO GMO (genetically modified foods), NO PASTEURIZATION, and NO IRRADIATION. When it comes to your buying and consuming a super juice product, it's extremely important to make sure that you know what you're getting and where you're getting it from. You need to know what's in it and how it was processed. Ask lots of questions until you uncover the truth and the facts. Question: What's really in the product you're buying and drinking? Do you know all the ingredient and quality facts?

6. Some liquid "super juices" use processed sugars and/or artificial sweeteners that are unhealthy and cause all kinds of health problems. I was shocked to find that one very popular company puts high fructose corn syrup in their children's products. The only sweeteners that should be used in a super juice are raw honey, stevia, agave nectar, and naturally sweet fruit juices. Some of these companies actually put cheap "fillers" in their products in order to save money, resulting in the customer getting an inferior and less healthy product, so beware. Question: Are there artificial sweeteners and fillers in your super juice?

7. Most "super juices" only include fruits and/or berries, with very few if any vegetables and greens. Why is this? I don't know, but I can't see any reason for it. Question: Wouldn't you prefer getting fruits, berries, vegetables, and greens all mixed in your super juice for you and your children's nutritional health if it tasted good?

FOLLOW UP: In my next posting, I will be sharing with you more on this topic of dehydrated low-temperature dried super juice powders. I will share with you what I believe the BEST CHOICE is for you and your family. SO...keep checking back for my next posting.

Myths about Disasters - Emergency Preparedness Survival Food Dehydrated Meals MRE Packs Supplies Kits

2008-01-29T16:33:00.000-05:00

Commonly Held MYTHS About Disasters

"It won't happen." OR "It won't happen here." OR "It won't happen to me."

"It won't be that bad."

"I'll be alright through whatever happens."

"I can't do anything about it anyways."

These are some of the false beliefs or "myths" that people believe about disasters.

Most of these beliefs are some form of denial of the possibility of bad things happening to good people.

I felt like that during my first day of skiing back when I was in junior high school. I would see people fall and get hurt and think, "it won't happen to me." However, later that day, it did happen to me! I fell down and ended up with a 5 inch spiral fracture. As I cried in the severe pain, I looked up the hill and there was no one coming down the hill at all. I had to wait for the next skier to get help. It took a long time before the rescue team came and got me and took me to the ambulance and on to the hospital. All the while I kept thinking to myself, "Why me?" "Why did this happen to me? These kinds of things always happen to other people, but not to me. I don't understand. I can't believe this is really happening to me!"

Now, for the myth that it won't be that bad. Try telling that to the people who experienced the fury and flooding aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Try telling that to the people who died on September 11th in New York City. Try telling that to the tsunami victims in Asia or the fire victims in San Diego. If you were to talk to some of the people who survived these disasters, you would find that it really was that bad. It was much worse than they had ever imagined possible. The myth, "I'll be alright through whatever happens," just isn't true. People died. People drowned. People were burned to death. People who survived were not alright, they were severely traumatized and their lives were forever changed.

Now, for my favorite myth: "I can't do anything about it anyways." This is simply NOT TRUE! There is a lot that you can do to prepare yourself and your family, and even your neighbors, for what is coming. For one, you can prepare by storing up long shelf-life food and water. You can set aside extra clothes, first aid kits, camping and cooking supplies, etc. in order to be able to survive a major disaster. You can also talk about emergency preparedness with everyone in your home, and even with your neighbors. You can create a special disaster kit and add to it every week when you're out shopping. You can keep some extra cash tucked away and some extra fuel for heating and cooking. You can have an out of the area contact to use if your family gets separated.

There are a lot of things you can do to prepare to survive the coming disasters. The first is to give up your false "myths" about disasters and get out of denial. Second, you can start preparing yourself and your family for what's coming next. This blog will seek to offer you a lot of resources to help you prepare for the coming disasters, so please stay tuned and keep checking back to this website.

Preparing Mentally - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Dehydrated Meals MRE Packs Supplies Kits

2008-01-28T12:03:00.000-05:00

PREPARING MENTALLY FOR COMING DISASTERS

When you think of disasters, what comes to mind? Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods?

As a nation, we face the daily threat of all kinds of disasters, both natural disasters and man-made disasters. These include hurricanes, storm surge, earthquakes, floods, fires, mud slides, winter storms and power outages, tornados, tsunamis, tidal waves, drought, etc.

But there are also other kinds of disasters that we must be prepared for mentally and physically. These include things such as national emergencies, terrorist attacks, biological attacks, chemical attacks, civil unrest, martial law, avian or bird flu, quarantine, and war. These kinds of disasters are not as common, but they are very real threats in this day and age of terrorism.

Many of the above disasters can result in martial law, quarantine, and the disruption of the transportation of food and services to affected areas of the country. In other words, if the bird flu broke out in Arkansas, for example, the federal and state governments could enforce a quarantine of that whole area of the country by using soldiers and martial law. As a result of a quarantine, all shipments of food and other supplies into the affected area could be stopped indefinitely. People would not be permitted to leave the quarantine area, and they would have to survive on their own for an extended period of time.

Are you prepared for a disaster scenario like this? Have you thought through the ramifications of a biological or chemical attack by terrorists or of the break out of a the bird flu or some other such epidemic?

I'm not sharing these possibilities with you to cause you to live in fear. That's the last thing we need. Instead, I'm sharing them with you for you to prepare yourself mentally for the possibility of these kinds of disasters happening in your area of the country. If you prepare yourself mentally now, then it will motivate you to get yourself prepared to survive such a disaster and overcome it. In other words, it doesn't have to be the end of you and your family. There is hope, and I believe that if you prepare now for it, you can survive what is coming next. In fact, I believe that if you prepare for it now, you will be able to overcome during such hard times and be able to help save a lot of other people in the process through proper preparation.

I can hear some of you saying that this is a kind of "doomsday" thinking that only creates panic and fear in people. All I can say is that our nation has experienced all kinds of disasters over the past 100 years, and none of the ones I mentioned above are improbable or impossible. Some may seem unlikely, yet all of them are possible. My point in this postings is to encourage you to start thinking about the possibilities and preparing yourself mentally for what could happen in our country. Once you prepare yourself mentally, then it is time to prepare yourself so that you can survive and overcome through whatever disasters strike our country next. Remember Hurricane Katrina and what happened to all of the people in New Orleans and the surrounding area who weren't prepared for what did happen.

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

ARE YOU PREPARED TO SURVIVE THE NEXT DISASTER?

I was a Boy Scout growing up, and I'll never forget our MOTTO:

"BE PREPARED!"

When I think of all of the natural disasters and other disasters that have struck America in the last 10 years, I can't help wonder how many people's lives could have been saved - IF they had been prepared before disaster struck.

As a nation, the American people over the past 10 years have experienced terrorist attacks, hurricanes, floods, fires, tornados, earthquakes, civil unrest, martial law, and war. How many people have died in these disasters that could have been saved - IF they had been prepared?

The purpose of this blog site is to HELP PEOPLE GET PREPARED TO SURVIVE THE COMING DISASTERS that are only going to intensify over the next several years.

I WANT TO HELP YOU BE PREPARED TO SURVIVE what's coming next, and for you to be able to help others during the coming emergencies.

Let me ask you a few key questions:

1. Do you have enough food stored away for you and your family for 6 months?

2. Do you have long shelf-life dehydrated fruits and vegetables stored away as well?

3. Do you have enough natural spring water stored away for 6 weeks in safe containers and do you have a high-quality water purifying system that doesn't use electricity?

4. Do you have a way to heat water and to cook food that doesn't use electricity?

5. Do you have a survival kit that includes things like first aid kit, flashlight, batteries, extra warm clothes, sleeping bags and blankets, toilet paper, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, bug spray, hats, compass, radio, flares, matches, cups & plates & utensils, and anything else you would need to live outdoors with your family for three weeks?

These are just a few of the questions that I have that will get you thinking about how prepared you are for the coming emergencies and disasters. If you don't have these basic things stored away in your garage or basement, then you're really not prepared for what's coming.

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED - beforehand, meaning NOW! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon.

We will focus on providing disaster nutrition expert advice that centers around survival food, dehydrated food, meal packs, healthy MRE's, disaster meals, long-term food storage, long shelf-life food, organic whole food, etc.

We will also provide practical and useful information on how to survive natural disasters, a national emergency, terrorist attacks, bird flu, avian flu, quarantine, hurricanes, floods, wilderness survival, and long-term disruption to the food supply.

I look forward to helping as many people as possible get prepared for the next disaster so that they can not only survive it, but also be able to help other people at the same time who weren't prepared.

God bless you,
