Armageddon Medicine: How to be your own doctor in 2012 and beyond. An instruction manual. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982508121)

Armageddon Medicine, How to be your own doctor in 2012 and beyond, explains exactly that - how to be your own doctor when there's no other choice. One of the first survival medicine books in the prepper era, this 590-page volume is intended for anyone and everyone who may need to care for themselves or loved ones. Written by long-time family physician, Cynthia J. Koelker, MD, and with a foreword by James Wesley, Rawles, editor of SurvivalBlog, this comprehensive manual tells how to manage hundreds of common conditions you may one day have to treat on your own. From strep throat to appendicitis, from suturing to rabies, from bioterrorism to stockpiling medications, this book contains a wealth of information to help you through troubled times. With her straight-forward style spiced with dry humor, the author discusses medical care in terms anyone can understand and follow on their own. She not only explains what to do and how to do it, but also why. Chapter titles include: *Acute infection*Mental illness*An approach to pain*Acute injuries; *Use of expired medications*Fish antibiotics*How to get your doctor to help you stockpile medications*Thyroid disease*Diabetes*Herbal medicine and other natural remedies*10 essential OTC drugs to stockpile*Chernobyl, nuclear fallout, and you*Bioterrorism*How to take a medical history and perform a physical exam * - and dozens more.Additionally, Koelker includes a checklist for each chapter to help you prepare, along with recommendations for your personal medical kit, OTC medications and supplies to stockpile, and dozens of additional free resources. Until 2020 Armageddon Medicine was available only through the author's personal website and instructional seminars (ArmageddonMedicine.net). Today, as the need increases, Koelker is making it available to the world at large, so all who may need it will have it.
