Financial or Catastrophe

I have been writing about a financial and what we need to do to survive it. Now I have been getting some information from a fairly good source that we may be in for more than just a financial meltdown. I am no scientist, so what I am going to say here relies on what I gleaned from scientists and what NASA supposedly knows about and is preparing for.

What I am being told is that there is going to be major sunspot action in late 2011 and all of 2012 culminating in severe action late in 2010. Why should we be worried about sunspots? They can take out our entire electrical grid, our phone system, satellite communications and many other electronic items. It sounds to me that this would be a lot like the aerial nuclear blast I was talking about a couple of blogs ago. I am not sure how to prepare for it exactly, but I am going to do many of the things I talked about in that blog. Go back a couple of blogs and check that one out. This could be even worse if the sunspots take out our electrical grid or even part of it. We barely have enough grid to keep everyone supplied at the present time. If even half of it were taken out, the entire country would be in deep doo doo.

In one of the articles I read, the person writing it said that it could virtually cause a nuclear winter. It could cause flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes and virtually wipe out the entire country. This was his worst case scenario but even the possibility is enough to make on think long and hard about what to do.

Whatever happens, financial meltdown, sunspot catastrophe, or even war, we need to be prepared. I have written many things in past blogs and some of you may want to go back and check them out to see what I deem as being prepared.

Something I probably have not talked about enough is having enough medical supplies and equipment on hand. Now here I am not talking about a first-aid kit, even an elaborate one. I am talking about a full scale medical kit. I had started building one a few years ago but got sidetracked and never finished it. Now I intend to get back to it and should the events of 2012 that are predicted occur, I will be ready. Getting all of the equipment is expensive, but then it is our lives we are talking about.

First of all, anyone that is on prescription medications needs to have as much on hand as you can talk your doctor into. I know that there are some medications that you cannot stock up on due to certain laws. Anything that you can talk you doctor into giving you a year's supply for, do it. Everything else, do the best you can. Next, begin to study natural medicine and see if there is something that you can make up from nature that will take the place of your prescription. In future blogs I will be giving some recipes for a few items which I make. I currently do not make any internal medicine and will probably not give a lot of those recipes anyway because every person is different and will need to do some research on what they need. I will probably give some suggestions of what plants to look for but that will be about all.

Another thing you will need is a complete set of tools. You will need forceps, various tweezers, several types of scissors, suture equipment (needles, suture thread, etc.), dental pics and more. Remember, we are talking about caring for teeth, ears, eyes and all the rest of the body. I would purchase and put aside a couple pair of the cheap reading glasses for anyone in the family that has eye problems. Buy two or three each of several different strengths. Have tooth and gum medicine to control pain. They make a temporary filling that should still be available somewhere. If you know anyone in group that wears dentures or even a partial plate, have a denture repair kit in your medical kit. There are many other things that I could list and in future blogs I may from time to time list a few. What everyone needs to do is to try to visualize every medical problem that you may encounter. Eliminate the ones that you know you cannot help such as doing an appendectomy or heart surgery and for the ones that you could possibly take care of, get the right equipment and supplies.

There is something else that is very important. Make sure that you are in the best physical shape that you can possibly be in. Taking your age into consideration, try to get as physically fit as possible. If you are not now in good shape, there is no better time to start a training program than right now. I have already started mine and am trying to do three things. Number one, I am trying to lose some weight, number two, I am trying to gain some strength and number three I am trying to improve my endurance. If I can do these three things, I will be happy. At my age I know I am not going to get back to where I was at 35, but I can be better than I currently am.

We will talk more about all of this in my next blog entry. Until then check out my other blog.
