Arnica Montana
Parts Used:
Flowers – leaves can also be used.
Use as homeopathic formula.
Can be used in salve or homeopathic cream / gel.
Tincture, topically only on unbroken skin.
Benefits:
Great for bruises, sprains, strains, sore muscles, before and after strenuous workout, before and after birthing.
Other: Never use internally or topically on unbroken skin at full strength. Only use as homeopathic remedy or use tincture
on topically on unbroken skin. Arnica is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth in the amounts commonly found in food or
when applied to unbroken skin short-term. The Canadian government, however, is concerned enough about the safety of
arnica to prohibit its use as a food ingredient.
Amounts that are larger than the amount found in food are LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth. In fact, arnica is
considered poisonous and has caused death. When taken by mouth it can also cause irritation of the mouth and throat,
stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, shortness of breath, a fast heartbeat, an increase in blood pressure, heart
damage, organ failure, increased bleeding, coma, and death.

Lobelia – a relaxing yet stimulating herb that can “think”
by Ingri Cassel
Lobelia is considered to be one of the most important herbs to have in one’s medicine chest in times of crisis.
Although lobelia has been denigrated by allopathic medicine as dangerous, even causing death, countless well-
known herbalists such as Dr. John R. Christopher considered it to be indispensable in their herbal repertoire.
This article was written to dispel the myth of the danger of using lobelia internally while restoring this great herb
to its proper role as a lifesaver when other remedies are likely to fail.
Lobelia inflata is also known as Indian tobacco, puke weed and asthma weed. It grows throughout the eastern
U.S. as far west as Nebraska and Arkansas and has also been found in British Columbia. This herb is named after
Mattias del Lobel, a French botanist in the 1500s. He moved to London where he was a physician who often
employed lobelia in his practice. Lobelia grows 12 inches to two feet high with sparsely leaved stems and is an
annual or sometimes biennial plant. The delicate flowers stem from a central stalk and are pale blue to violet in
color, making lobelia a popular flowering garden plant. The herb is often harvested in July when it flowers and in
October and November for its seeds, which have stronger properties than the leaves and stem. Lobelia’s
medicinal qualities are anti-asthmatic, anti-spasmodic, expectorant, emetic (induces vomiting), nervine,
diaphoretic (induces perspiration), and diuretic.
Lobelia is both a relaxant and a stimulant – in small doses it stimulates, especially when combined with other
herbs, increasing their effectiveness, and in larger doses it relaxes musculature and constricted blood vessels.
The whole herb contains lobeline and isolobelanine. Lobeline is a powerful respiratory stimulant and
isolobelanine is an emetic and respiratory relaxant, stimulating catarrhal secretion and expectoration while
relaxing the muscles of the respiratory system. Lobelia has a general depressant action on the central and
autonomic nervous systems. It’s most common use is in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis. The overall
action is a truly holistic combination of stimulation and relaxation.
Samuel Thomson
Lobelia inflata was an extremely popular remedy among 19th century herbalists. Samuel Thomson, the founder
of the Thomsonian System of Natural Medicine, popularized its use in the U.S. when allopathic doctors were
employing radium, mercury, strychnine and other poisons in their practices. In 1805, Thomson had a thriving
practice and was often called to neighboring states to treat difficult cases. His combative nature lead him into
heated arguments with the standard allopathic doctors of his day who denounced his treatment methods. In
1809, Dr. French brought up charges of murder against Thomson, accusing him of the willful murder of a young
man with lobelia, a deadly “poison”, who had died while under his care. Thomson was thrown into prison in
Newburyport, Mass. on Nov. 10, 1809 where he stayed for a month in filth and without any heat. He would have
remained there for a year if it weren’t for a few friends who had benefited from his work and managed to secure
37
a hearing before Judge Parsons in a special session on Dec. 10, 1809. The court ended up acquitting Thomson
since it was obvious the charges were trumped-up. Thomson proved he had used marsh rosemary root on the
patient and not lobelia as the prosecution had assumed. Thomson continued to embitter so many medical men
against him that in 1811, while he was passing the office door of a doctor in Maine, the physician tried to kill him
with a scythe.
The war between herbalists and allopathic doctors continues to the present day but is less noticeable due to the
monopoly allopathic medicine now has with schools, hospitals, the media and our court system.
Lobelia – a poison?
Although most herbal books and online websites will warn potential users that lobelia can be poisonous, years
of experience by countless herbalists have proven that far from being a poison it is actually an antidote to
poison. Priddy Meeks was a Thomsonian physician in Utah in the 1800s that used lobelia extensively in treating
victims of poisoning from drugs prescribed by orthodox doctors.
The following is excerpted from Priddy Meeks’ journal:
“While living at Parowan [Utah], Simeon Houd got badly poisoned with strychnine so that he had his thumb
amputated, but that did not seem to stop the poison from ascending up his arm and going down into his vitals,
which would prove fatal. He.... said to me, ‘Brother Meeks, if you cannot save me, I am gone, for if the poison
gets into my vitals, it will kill me. It is now up to my shoulder.’ Never knowing Lobelia to fail in a case of poison,
neither indeed in any other case, in full assurance of faith, I went to work and gave him several thorough
courses of Thomsonian medicine [one course = 3 doses of lobelia tincture taken internally 10 min. apart while
drinking herbal tea, usually peppermint] and in three or four days he was so much better that we all believed
that nothing more was needed, as the poison was checked. He felt about well. I thought the job was completed
and went home.”
Meeks then related how an angel told him to keep giving Houd the medicine since he wasn’t completely cured.
Meeks did so while noting that the Thomsonian medicine must be good since even Heaven approved it. He had
several other similar stories in his journal such as the case of Sister Daniel Tyler who had been poisoned by
rubbing red precipitated mercury on her skin for the itch without realizing the danger. Meeks administered
several courses of lobelia tincture, which soon made her well.
Herbalists of the day noted that Thomsonian medicines would seldom, if ever, disappoint you in performing a
cure. Lobelia will remove obstructions wherever found in the body and restore a healthy action wherever
needed. It acts like “intelligence”, always in harmony with the living intention of the body, which is to remove
any kind of obstruction to healing.
Lobelia – the thinking herb
Dr. John R. Christopher called lobelia the “thinking” herb and used lobelia in most of his herbal formulas. His
experience taught him that when lobelia was added to a formula, it took the herbs to the parts of the body
needing the remedy and was able to determine if the poisons needing to be purged would be eliminated
through the bowels or through the skin (if the body was too weak to handle the circulation of the poison
through the bloodstream and into the digestive tract and bowels.)
Dr. Christopher often related the story of two small boys who were both suffering from an enlarged gland on the
side of their neck behind the ear. His formula for swollen and malfunctioning glands is three parts mullein and
38
one part lobelia to be used as a tea, in capsules and/or as a fomentation. A nurse called Dr. Christopher in
desperation to ask his advice on the first boy with the swollen gland. The nurse followed his advice to use the
mullein/lobelia fomentation on the swollen gland. She then asked, “Which way is the toxic accumulation going
to come out of the body? Will it come out directly through the skin like a bursting boil or will it be routed
through the bloodstream and be taken out through the bowel?” Dr. Christopher replied that he did not know;
that it would be the lobelia that would make the “decision”. The second boy had the same sort of swelling
behind his ear so his mother called the good doctor for advice. He gave her exactly the same advice and she,
too, applied the same fomentation.
In the first case, the poison gathered up and burst, draining out straight through the neck. In the second case,
the poison was absorbed by the body and then eliminated through the bowel.
Tetanus/Lockjaw
Dr. Christopher usually used lobelia in the form of a tincture he made by using one ounce of the herb or seed to
one pint of raw apple cider vinegar. Dr. Christopher was once called out on a case where an old man had a
terrible case of lockjaw. Christopher poured a small amount of the tincture into his mouth through his clenched
teeth and within minutes the man opened his jaw and was able to thank the Lord for relief. The man described
how he had stepped on a rusty spike when he was working out on his farm. It had penetrated through his boot
and then blood poisoning occurred. Dr. Christopher saw that lobelia worked on the effect so he continued
working on the cause with a plantain ointment to draw out the poison as well as using other herbs to cleanse
the bowels and bloodstream of the poison.
Severe asthma case
One of Dr. Christopher’s most famous “lobelia” cases involved an elderly man who had suffered from asthma for
26 years. For 20 years he had not been able to work. His two sons had built a special chair for him to sit and
sleep in due to his asthma, fearing that he would die if he were to lie down. A doctor had been coming to their
home in Evanston, Wyoming at least once a week either to give him a drug orally, a shot, or administer oxygen
in order to keep him alive. One early morning, the doctor couldn’t be reached so the two sons contacted Dr.
Christopher out of desperation. They brought their father to him at 2:00 AM and Dr. Christopher asked the old
man to sip on a cup of elderberry leaf tea while they told his story, which involved mortgaging their home in
order to pay for continued care under their present doctor. After 10 minutes, a teaspoon of tincture of lobelia
was administered orally. After 10 min. had passed, he gave the man a second teaspoonful of lobelia tincture. He
waited another 10 min. before he gave him the third dose of lobelia. The four men sat around and chatted while
Christopher made sure there were pans and buckets around. All of a sudden the old man started to cough and
heave. This went on until 5:00 in the morning. The old man had brought up everything he had eaten for days
plus nearly a cup of yellowish green phlegm and pus from his lungs. In 40 years of practice, Dr. Christopher
commented that he had never had to administer more than three teaspoonfuls of lobelia tincture to a patient.
The reason for this is because each time he was called the patient was in a crisis, at the climax of the disease,
which is also the right time for clearing the body of the disease.
When the man went home, he went to bed and slept horizontally for the first time in many years. He ended up
sleeping a total of 30 hours straight. When he woke up, he took a deep breath of air without choking or
coughing and announced that he was healed. He never experienced another asthma attack and went to work as
a gardener, never missing a day’s work.
39
Lobelia in the 21st century Most herbalists would agree that lobelia is a valuable herb to have on hand while
understanding its specific applications. One family with six children who live in the North Idaho Panhandle noted
how valuable lobelia was when whooping cough affected all the children in the household. The youngest were
the most affected with spasmodic coughing that kept the rest of the family up at night. Homeopathy including
Scheussler biochemic cell salts were not having a major impact. When they made a tea out of the lobelia herb,
administering the tea to even the youngest children, the spasmodic coughing miraculously subsided and they
recovered rapidly.
Dr. Edward Shook recommends 2 ounces of marshmallow root, 2 ounces of garden thyme, and half an ounce of
lobelia to a quart of distilled water that is simmered down to a pint of liquid in a double boiler to make a strong
decoction for whooping cough.
Lobelia inflata is specifically used in natural “quit smoking” patches and herbal formulas since it helps to clear
the lungs of nicotine while reducing the craving for cigarettes.
Last but not least, lobelia is an excellent remedy for both preventing and treating infectious diseases. It has been
used successfully in scarlet fever, measles, mumps and even mononucleosis. Many stories have been written
attesting to lobelia’s ability to both prevent one from catching contagious diseases as well as treat them once
infected. Lobelia’s ability to relax the body while purging it of unwanted toxins makes this a most valuable herb
to have on hand in our increasingly toxic world.

According to herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, nettle is also “one of the highest sources of digestible iron in
plant form” (Gladstar, 1993, p. 29). Nettle is a deeply nourishing herb, helping to revitalize the entire
body and increase overall health. This rich wealth of nutrients is helpful where there is muscle
cramping from low vitamin and mineral intake, as well as assisting in nourishing the body after illness
or prolonged stress (Tilgner, 1999; Weed, 1989).
Nettles can help out as an herbal alternative supporting healthful function of the kidneys, liver,
digestive tract, and overall metabolism while strengthening the constitution.
As a tonic for the urinary tract and adrenals, nettle helps to soothe all sorts of woes such as chronic
urinary tract infections, water retention, and stress (Weed, 1989). Herbalists use it to help flush acid
wastes out of the body, easing “gout, eczema, skin rashes, and gravel in kidneys” (Wood, 1997, p. 483).
Susun Weed also explains that regular use of nettle assists in “nourishing the mucus membranes of the
digestive tract” easing constipation and diarrhea

Skullcap info:
Owner of Strictly Medicinal Seeds: I'm pretty
excited about Baical Skullcap (Scutellaria
baicalensis) for treatment of pandemic diseases
such as avian flu. My experience is that the root of
this plant, which has been used in Chinese
medicine for a very long time as the herb Huang-
qin, is extremely effective for treating contagious
flu-like maladies. There is really no better anti-
infection agent in herbalism, to my
knowledge. The herb is more effective if grown in
poor, sandy soil. Added advantages of Huang-qin
are 1) lack of side-effects, 2) quick to germinate
and easily grown throughout the temperate US 4) pretty 5) and can be harvested in the fall of first or (better)
second year 6) no side effects. Here's a picture of the freshly harvested root--extremely potent as you can
probably tell.
Text from a small article written by Richo that appeared in the AHA Quarterly:
The Chinese herb Baical Skullcap, known in Chinese as Huang-qin (Scutellaria
baicalensis) has a history of medicinal usage dating back over 2,000 years.
The bright yellow roots of this pretty perennial herb are used traditionally
to abate diarrhea and dysentery and to enhance liver function in the
treatment of hepatitis. They are also an active antibacterial treatment for
Staph (Staphylococcus aureus) infection, which is a major cause of secondary
infections in hospitals in the US. In Traditional Chinese Medicine,
practitioners use Huang-qin as frequently as Westerners use Goldenseal. Many
Westerners have yet to appreciate Huang-qin to the extent that it deserves.
An added bonus is that the herb is well suited to cultivation in the western
states, thriving in gardens all the way from Washington down to Southern
California. Relatively easy to start from seed in the spring, the plants
prefer a full sun position and deep, dry, well-drained soils. The flowers
appear for the first time in the fall of the first year, and after that the
plant flowers copiously every summer, producing heady blue or purple blooms
for as long as three months before the blossoms give way to the
characteristically hooded seed capsules. Baical skullcap is a low-lying
bedding plant, excellent for high-use areas such as next to pathways. After
the third year of growth, the roots may be dug and dried for medicinal use.
No fancy processing is necessary. The roots can be sliced into sections
while fresh and dried in the shade, then made into tincture or tea. Good
quality roots are bright yellow, not green or black. Any herb that looks
that good in the garden and treats the formidable adversaries hepatitis and
staph deserves plenty of attention!

Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay can be used in the following ways:
Topically for burns
Topically for large wounds
Topically for bites / stings
Topically for infections
Topically for bruises
Internally for illnesses
Internally for food poisoning
Radiation Exposure
As a toothpaste to potentially reverse and prevent cavities
Internally for removal of toxins (pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, etc)
In a bath for extra toxin removal and overall healing
In a foot bath for toxin removal and overall healing
Important!
Cover burns / wounds with saran wrap so clay doesn’t dry out and cause further harm to the
injured area.
Cover infections with a breathable fabric so it dries out some which helps to draw out the
infection.
Clay Instructions:
Liquid Clay (for internal toxins, food poisoning, flu, heavy metals, boost immune system, radiation exposure, etc)
¼ cup clay in one gallon of water. Stir and let sit for 20 minutes. Stir again. Let sit for another 20
minutes. Drink top water – mix in some of clay particles – not necessary to drink much of the actual clay
particles.
Clay gel (for burns, bites, stings, wounds, etc)
1 part clay to 2 parts water (may need to add a little more water into it) Place onto wound. Leave on for
hours / overnight. Replace with new clay again. Allow to air out for a few hours if necessary.

Activated Charcoal
Can be used for:
Radiation Exposure
Food Poisoning
Gas / Bloated
Heavy Metal Detox
Skin Irritations
Allergic Reaction
Bites / Stings
Snake Bites
Sore Throats
Acid Reflux
Bladder Infection
Internal Infection
For Radiation Exposure:
Studies show that charcoal possesses the unique ability to neutralize radiation, and that 10 grams of
charcoal can neutralize up to 7 grams of toxic material. Take up to several charcoal capsules per hour
when radiation is in the atmosphere – drinking with plenty water. Or take up to 1-2 T. of activated
charcoal mixed in large glass of water every 1-3 hours. Decrease this amount by half for children.
For snake bites:
(BEST option) Immediately, apply a very large charcoal compress covering almost an entire extremity,
centering over the bite, using large quantities of activated charcoal, wet with water and kept moist with
plastic wrap. A new compress should be placed over the immediate vicinity of the snake bite every 10-
15 minutes.
Activated Charcoal should also be taken by mouth, in the quantity of approx. 2 Tbsp. every 2 hours, for 3
doses, and 1 tsp. every hour for 24 hours. Each dose should be followed by 2 glasses of water. (17)
Or take up to 1-2 T. of activated charcoal mixed in large glass of water every 2-3 hours. Decrease this
amount by half for children. Take for up to 2 weeks.

Using Activated Charcoal Topically & Internally
During a Disaster
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL INTRO:
Activated charcoal is known to be the most important remedy / treatment for people
who can’t afford medical care in 3rd world countries.
It has an indefinite shelf life.
It is so potent that is has been said that one gram of it (an amount the size of your
fingernail – can absorb enough toxins to fill the square footage of four tennis courts.
Considered safe and effective by the FDA.
HOW DOES AC WORK?
AC has the ability to extract and neutralize many more times its own weight in gases,
heavy metals, toxins, poisons, and other chemicals.
AC has an adsorptive effect because of the large surface area of individual grains,
with their crevices and pores.
AC works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores.
The porous surface of the activated charcoal has a negative electric charge that
causes positive charged toxins and gas to bond with it.
HOW TO USE ACTIVATED CHARCOAL DURING A DISASTER:
External Uses:
An activated charcoal poultice has the ability to reduce inflammation and absorb poisons from
your skin caused by infections, chemicals, or insect bites and stings.
When applying it topically make a poultice by using either just activated charcoal and water or
by adding a thickening agent which makes the poultice much easier to work with.
P a g e | 78
78
Create charcoal poultice by mixing charcoal powder with a bit of water until a poultice is formed or use thickening
agent such as flax seed meal, psyllium seed husk, bentonite clay, corn starch, arrow root powder, or marshmallow root
powder to thicken the charcoal mixture.
Proportions are as follows (or just mix in until desired consistency occurs):
Charcoal Water Thickener Instructions
Arrowroot Powder
2 T.
¼ cup
2 tsp
Wait 5-10 minutes
Bentonite Clay
2 T.
¼ cup
6 tsps
Wait 5-10 minutes
Cornstarch
2 T.
¼ cup
2 tsps
Wait 5-10 minutes
Flax Seed Meal
2 T.
¼ cup
2 ½ tsps.
Wait 5-10 minutes
Marshmallow Root
2 T.
¼ cup
¼ tsp (+ pinch)
Use right away.
Apply the poultice directly onto the issue and wrap with saran wrap or a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
Change every 10 – 20 minutes for an hour.
Change every 6-8 hours or as needed until the wound has healed.
If person is allergic to bite / sting or for snake bites, mastitis, or tetanus – Along with applying the activated charcoal
to the area of injury, give adult 1 T. of charcoal in water by mouth. For children give 1 tsp in water by mouth. Wear
poultice all day and night.
*** If possible, soak area of injury in water containing activated charcoal for 20 minutes before applying activated
charcoal poultice. (1 T of activated charcoal in 2 cups of water).
Immediately, apply a very large charcoal compress covering almost an entire extremity, centering over the bite, using
large quantities of activated charcoal, wet with water and kept moist with plastic wrap. A new compress should be
placed over the immediate vicinity of the snake bite every 10-15 minutes.
Activated Charcoal should also be taken by mouth, in the quantity of approx. 2 Tbsp. every 2 hours, for 3 doses, and 1
tsp. every hour for 24 hours. Each dose should be followed by 2 glasses of water.
P a g e | 79

Activated Charcoal Internal Uses:
Activated charcoal has the ability to bind to intestinal toxins and unfriendly microbial growth which is then
excreted through our stool.
When taking it internally either stir some into water or take in a capsule.
Do not take along with prescription or herbal medications.
For an adult, give adult 1 T. of charcoal in water by mouth every 1-2 hours. For children give ½ T. in water by
mouth every 1-2 hours – or more, if needed. Also consider using Benadryl.
(Note: Charcoal will absorb the Benadryl – use with wisdom. Assess the situation, listen to the spirit and use
wisdom in choosing either the charcoal or the Benadryl as the main treatment for the allergic reaction being
treated.)
Or take up to 1-2 T. of activated charcoal mixed in large glass of water every 2-3 hours. Decrease this amount
by half for children. Take for up to 2 weeks.
Also consider making a charcoal paste by mixing some charcoal with water and applying it directly over the
bladder area for 20 minutes. Repeat 3-4 times a day.
Take other remedies separate from charcoal by an hour or more.
Take 1-2 Tablespoons of charcoal, mixed in water. Follow up by drinking 2 cups of water. Take this 2-3 times
per day for up to two weeks. Take a lower maintenance dose after this, if necessary.
:
Activated charcoal can help draw out the toxins associated with a cavity. Mix a teaspoon of activated charcoal
powder with enough water to make a paste. Place some of the paste on a small piece of gauze, put the gauze
on the sore area and bite down so that the paste surrounds your tooth. Leave it on for up to 5 minutes, then
remove the gauze and excess paste and rinse your mouth with water. You can use this remedy 3 or 4 times a
day, as needed.
P a g e | 80
80
Take up to several charcoal capsules per hour when radiation is in the atmosphere or signs of food poisoning
is present – drinking with plenty water. Or take up to 1-2 T. of activated charcoal mixed in large glass of water
every 1-3 hours. Decrease this amount by half for children.
Stop taking activated charcoal after threat is gone. Take maintenance dose of bentonite clay instead –
activated charcoal has the tendency to pull out nutrients out of the body as well. It’s a great short term remedy
for helping to pull out radiation and for eliminating heavy metals but not a long term solution.
Gargle with a charcoal “slurry”. Mix 1 T. activated charcoal with 1/3 – ½ cup pure water. Repeat as necessary.
Mix 1 T. of activated charcoal in large glass of water and drink a few times a day. Decrease dose by half for
children. . Repeat as needed for up to two weeks – or more, if needed.

Purifying Water with Activated Charcoal:
A water filter can be created by removing the bottom of a bottle. Turn the bottle upside down (with the cap down
down) and put the following materials in the bottle.
Pebbles
Sand
A piece of cloth or bandages
Charcoal
A piece of cloth or bandages
Sand
Pebbles
-The cloth or bandages are used to ensure that all the different materials do not mix.
-The pebbles and sand filter the particles and the dirt out of the water.
-The charcoal gets a big portion of the chemicals out of the water, but it won't get it all out. (You can use charcoal
from your campfire).
Charcoal is an extremely versatile and highly effective water treatment medium. It has immense surface area. A
single pound of granular activated carbon has a filtering surface area equivalent to 125 acres! It is the best known
treatment for organic chemicals, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine and its by-products. It is also an
unchallenged taste-and-odor improver. When arranged in solid carbon or extruded carbon block format, it also
provides very high quality particulate filtration, in some cases down into the sub-micron level.(1)
That being said, charcoal will not remove any viruses and bacteria from the water so you have to boil the water
after it is filtered.
Again, once it comes to purifying water, activated charcoal can remove many pollutants, but can't remove pathogens.

Diatomaceous Earth
There are a handful of reasons why having diatomaceous earth on hand during a prolonged disaster
situation would be a good idea. The top four reasons include:
1. For ridding the digestive system of parasites.
2. For using it to help preserve our stored grains.
3. For eliminating garden bugs, bed bugs, fleas, and lice.
4. For doing a temporary, mild, digestive detox.
Diatomaceous earth (aka "DE") is tiny microscopic fossilized shells made up of algae and phytoplankton.
These microscopic fossilized shells have built up over time and are being mined and turned into a fine
powder called diatomaceous earth.
Using DE Internally:
The sharp edges of the diatomaceous earth particles
creates an abrasive action when taken internally
which helps clean out the digestive tract. This
benefit works well for cleansing the digestive system
– especially once it comes to cleaning out harmful
parasites.
DE is my number once substance I would
recommend for parasites. During a disaster, if
possible, I would also couple taking DE internally
with taking an anti-parasitic herb such as olive leaf, wormwood, or black walnut. The two, taken
separately, would work beautifully together.
Just like with bentonite clay and activated charcoal, diatomaceous earth is also a negatively charged
substance. Negatively charged substances attract positively charged substances so when taking DE
internally, it will attract positively charged substances to itself such as bacteria, some viruses, yeasts,
parasites and even some heavy metals.
P a g e | 83
83
Not only are these toxic substances attracted to the DE but it also becomes trapped in the cylindrical
shape of the DE particle which will also help with the elimination of these harmful substances from our
body.
One other benefit of DE is that it contains trace minerals and silica which contributes to healthy bones,
teeth and healthy cartilage.
DE can be easily taken internally by stirring one tsp of DE in a glass of water and drinking it down.
Another glass of water can be taken after drinking the first glass to help wash it down. Doing this a few
times a day for 2 weeks up to 3 months is an ideal time frame for addressing toxic or parasitic issues.
Using DE for BUGS:
One wonderful benefit of DE’s super sharp edges is that when it comes in contact with an insects
exoskeleton, it will scratch the surface of their skin / shell and they will dry out and die. This is a huge
benefit to us in the event of a disaster regarding the following bugs:
Garden Bugs
Bed Bugs
Fleas
Lice
(Internal Parasites)
Using DE for Preserving Food Storage Grains:
I like to stir DE into my grains, instead of using an oxygen packet, to keep my grains free of bugs and
mold and to make sure they can be sprouted (oxygen packets might kill the grain and render them un-
sproutable).
Diatomaceous earth will kill bug intruders by scratching their shell which causes them to dry out and
die. This prevents bugs from breeding and replicating in the container of grains. The DE also absorbs
any extra moisture which will help prevent mold from forming in the grains.

Baking Soda
Baking soda can be used for:
Bites
Burns
Stings
To kick out flu / cold
To eliminate acid reflux
To alkalize body
Bleeding
MRSA
Day 1 -- Take six doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at about two-hour intervals
Day 2 -- Take four doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals
Day 3 -- Take two doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and
thereafter ½ teaspoon in glass of cool water each morning until cold symptoms are gone.
Baking soda is best used for short periods of time in conjunction with other nutritional supports to prevent
nutritional imbalances.
Warning: Do not use internally if you are on a sodium restricted diet unless directed by a doctor.
Also used in sinus rinse bottles or enemas to help adjust water to same pH as body so body doesn’t reject the water.

Saniderm
Breathable thin translucent bandage that can be used as a substitute for stitches. Saniderm.com
Cleaning wounds before applying:
Help the person to remain calm. If the cut is large or bleeding heavily, have them lie down. If
the wound is on an arm or leg, raise the limb above the heart to slow bleeding. (21)
Remove obvious debris from the wound, such as sticks or grass. If the object is embedded in
the body, do NOT remove it. (21) (Using a poultice with either bentonite clay or slippery elm
will help pull debris out of the wound. See “Deep Wounds” in this chapter for instructions on
how to do this.)
If the cut is small, wash it out with soap and water. (21)
After putting on clean latex gloves, apply firm pressure to the wound with a folded cloth or
bandage for about 10 minutes. Do not remove the bandage to look at the wound during this
time, as it may begin bleeding again. If blood soaks through, add another cloth or bandage and
continue holding pressure on the cut for an additional 10 minutes. (21)
There are a hand full of remedies that can help get bleeding under control. They are:
• Asea
• Baking Soda
• Bentonite Clay
• Cayenne
• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Slippery Elm
• Yarrow
When bleeding has stopped, wash off any
remedy you may have used, spray on silver or
spread Neosporin on and tape a clean
bandage over the cut (or use Saniderm).
Instructions for using Saniderm:
Do not use sandierm for very large and open
wounds – use slippery elm or an herbal poultice or
clay.
Saniderm should be large enough to spread out
one inch away from all sides of wound.
Apply Saniderm to laceration. Wound will weep
under bandage causing liquid to pool under
bandage. That is good – this fluid helps the wound
heal more quickly.
Take Saniderm off of wound after 4-6 hours. Rinse
off wound. Pat dry. Add Neosporin / silver / other
remedy. Reapply new Saniderm. Repeat as
needed.

The Golden Honey mixture should stay in the mouth until its complete dissolution. Typically, the cold passes
and the body recovers after three days. Many have prevented cold without taking any drugs and pills, thanks to
this mix.
You can also use this Golden Honey mixture in the treatment of respiratory diseases.
Take ½ three times a day during the week. You can add coconut milk or tea into the mix.
This mix is an excellent choice if you suffer from hemophilia and hypertension andlowers blood pressure.

Eye and Ear Infections
Ear infections can be treated using one or more of these methods:
Internally (antibiotic options such as goldenseal, Oregon grape root, nano silver, HypoRedos)
Around outside of ear: lavender oil, basil essential oil, diluted thieves oil, tea tree oil, rubbing
yarrow tincture around outside of ear
Inside ear: nano silver, hydrogen peroxide, straight onion juice, garlic chopped and soaked in olive
oil for a few hours, diluted HypoRedox
Apply remedies to meridian points for earache.
Do not use remedies inside the ear if you suspect that the ear drum may have
burst.
Signs and symptoms of a ruptured eardrum may include:
Ear pain that may subside quickly.
Clear, pus-filled or bloody drainage from your ear.
Hearing loss.
Ringing in your ear (tinnitus)
Spinning sensation (vertigo)
Nausea or vomiting that can result from vertigo.
Use remedy inside the ear by filling a dropper with the solution. Run it under warm water for a
minute by plugging one end of the dropper with your finger. Have child lie down with infected ear
facing up. Drop the silver in to the ear canal until the ear canal has filled up. Have child stay this way
for 5 minutes. Place tissue on ear and turn onto the other side, allowing the silver to drain out. Re-
apply 2 more times that day.
Use the silver internally as well: 1 tsp 3-4 times a day or more.

HypoRedox
There’s a small list of remedies that I believe were put on this
Earth at this time for current (and future) situations by a loving
and caring Heavenly Father. HypoRedox is one of these
remedies/solutions.
To purchase the HypoRedox visit
www.HealthyPreparedness.blogspot.com and go to the “Store”
tab at the top of the page – then click on the link for “more
info” under the HypoRedox section.
INTRO
HypoRedox is a hypochlorous acid solution (HOCl).
Hypochlorous acid is a disinfectant that is lethal to every
pathogen harmful to humans including pathogens such as
MRSA, E. Coli, Candida, Meningitis, Encephilitis, Salmonella,
HIV, Epstein Barr, and much more. (See lab test results at the
bottom of this info. sheet)
It disinfects 120 times better than bleach (NaClO) – yet is non-toxic and non-irritating! Bacteria can’t
become resistant to it – in fact, it kills every pathogen (virus, bacteria, fungus, mold, etc) that it has
been scientifically tested against. (See the test results at the bottom of this information sheet.)
Not only is hypochlorous acid an amazing disinfectant but it also has the ability to speed up the
healing process. Why this is the case isn’t exactly known but it more than likely has something to do
with the redox molecules contained in this special solution allowing the cells to communicate with
one another in a more effective way.
As mentioned above, HypoRedox is a hypochlorous acid solution. Although the word “acid” is in its
name – it actually isn’t acidic at all because hypochlorous acid only exists in a solution with a neutral
pH. In order for this type of disinfectant to be most effective it has to have around a 6 pH balance.
The reported benefits of Hypchlorous Acid include:

• Speeds up healing of wounds. (See Vetericyn link)
• Disinfects wounds, cuts, burns, etc (See Vetericyn link)
• Kills bacteria and viruses on contact including E.Coli, Listeria, Salmonella, HIV, and MRSA. (See test
results at the bottom of this information sheet.)
• Kills fungi and molds on contact. (See test results at the bottom of this information sheet.)
• Non-irritating, non-stinging, non-toxic.
The possible uses of Hypochlorous Acid include:
• Wound healing and disinfection.* (See Vetericyn link)
• Eye infections.* (http://novabay.com/blog-post/new-treatment-pinkeye)
• Ear infections.* (See Vetericyn link)
• For sore throats?
• For flu’s / illnesses?
• For food poisoning?
• Disinfecting tools, surfaces, equipment. (See test results at bottom of this info. sheet)
• Disinfecting vegetables / fruits / meats.
• Disinfecting ill / deceased bodies?*
• Disinfecting areas that have been infected by vomit or diarrhea.
• Disinfecting linens / materials (Think of disinfecting linens covered in diarrhea, vomit, or blood indisaster
situations.)
• Disinfecting airborne pathogens by placing in a humidifier.
• Disinfecting water of pathogens.*
• Disinfecting dishwashers.
*Note: HypoRedox isn’t certified for internal or topical use. It is EPA certified meaning that it’s certified
to be used for tools and equipment. The maker of this product didn’t have interest in getting (or paying)
for extra certifications to deem this safe to use in ways other than using it as a “surgical tool disinfectant”.
Because this solution doesn’t have an actual certification saying that it’s okay to use topically or internally
- I cannot recommend others use it topically or internally. I will, however, explain how I personally have
used it- or would use it-for each of the uses listed above.

Nebulizer
Respiratory illnesses are one of the leading causes of
death during a disaster. One of the best ways to treat
a respiratory illness is by using a nebulizer.
Only a few remedies can be used in the nebulizer.
REMEMBER our lungs are made of sensitive, delicate
tissues – do not nebulize harsh or questionable remedies.
DO NOT nebulize essential oils.
Remedies that can be safely nebulized include:
- ASAP Silver - Asea
- Lugol’s Iodine *** - GSE (possibly) ***
- Glutathione (specific type) - Baking Soda ***
- HypoRedox ***
- Magnesium Chloride
*** Be careful with these!
The following examples illustrate different ideas:
Two minutes of nebulizer use every 15 minutes for four hours.
Five minutes of nebulizer use every hour. .
Only use for up to 7 days in a row.
Nebulizing remedies can be effective for:
Lung Cancer
Pneumonia
Tuberculosis
Emphysema
Influenza (flu)
Chemical Poisoning
Asthma
Bronchitis
Other Respiratory Infections
Illness Prevention
Nebulizing is also another way to get medicines into the body on a systemic level in cases where an ill person
cannot hold remedies down. Consider applying tinctures or essential oils to meridian points, using Yarrow tea
and using a nebulizer if this is the case. If the person is dehydrated and their electrolyte levels are low (and
there isn’t a way to get the person IV’s) perform a retention enema a few times a day.
P a g e | 103

Enema / Rectal Syringe
Think of an enema bag as an IV. People die due to dehydration and loss of electrolyte levels during an
illness. If we can’t get to a doctor – performing a retention enema will help supply the fluids, electrolytes,
and nutrients a person needs to help them get over the illness they have.
Enemas can also be used to relieve constipation (which is another big issue during disaster) and can trigger
labor – if needed.
RETENTION ENEMA: Rehydration / Nutrition
ENEMA FLUSH: Constipation, Reducing Fever, Triggering Labor
Electrolyte recipe:
• 2 cups water
• 1-2 tsps. sugar/dextrose
• ¼ tsp salt
• Pinch of baking soda
P a g e | 104
104
A retention enema can be done as follows:
You will need:
a clean enema bag, or a can or tin with tubing.
a cloth to place under the person.
600 ml (a little more than ½ a liter bottle / 2 cups) of warm (not hot) drinking water.
An electrolyte drink/mixture or a bag of IV solution can be used instead.
What to do:
Make sure the person’s body is higher than their head.
1. Tell the person what you are doing and why.
2. Wash your hands.
3. Ask him/her to lie on her left side if she can. If possible, her body should be a little higher than her head.
4. If you have them, put on clean gloves.
5. Let the water come down to the end of the tube to get the air out. Then pinch the tubing to stop the
flow.
6. Wet the end of the tube with water or an oil, and slide it into the anus. If coherent, ask the person to
take slow, deep breaths to help them relax.
Do not put the tube in more than this much.
7. Hold the bag or can just high enough for the water to run in very slowly (about the level of the person’s
hips). It should take about 20 minutes. If the water runs out of their body, the bag may be too high. Lower
the bag so the water runs in more slowly.
8. Gently remove the tube. Tell the person to try and keep the water inside, and that the urge to pass stool
will go away soon. If the person is unconscious, you can hold their buttocks together. Retention enemas
need to be retained for 20-30 minutes to allow the body to absorb the liquids within the colon.
P a g e | 105

9. Clean and dry the person. Then remove your gloves and wash
your hands.
10. If needed, transport the person for medical help right away. For
enemas for those who are in shock - If the person is still in shock,
you can give another enema one hour later. If he/she is not in
shock, try to give sips of rehydration drink as you transport
him/her.

(Claudia’s online complete course on making homeopathic remedies can be found at: healthy-preparedness-
courses.thinkific.com)
When making a homeopathic remedy from particles from the air, there is a short cut method that cuts down the
steps. This way of making a homeopathic remedy isn’t as precise or accurate as using the whole line up of nine 1
oz bottles but when cramped for time, this method still works.
Here’s the short cut method:
What you’ll need:
1. Glass bowl.
2. Distilled water for the glass bowl (around 4 cups is good).
3. 80 proof vodka.
4. Distilled water for making the tincture (at least 2 cups).
5. 1, 1 oz tincture bottle with dropper.
6. 1, 4 oz tincture bottle with dropper.
Steps:
1. Set out bowl of distilled water outside containing the 4 cups of distilled water and a splash of 80 proof
vodka that will make up about 10-20% of the total solution. (Exact measurements do not need to be
taken. The bit of vodka simply helps preserve what the water is catching.)
Note: Keep this bowl of water in a place where cats won’t drink the water. If bugs, dust, or other particles get in the
water – that’s okay. The end solution will be an extremely diluted solution that won’t contain any particles from the
unwanted or unexpected contaminants.
2. Let the bowl of water sit outside for at least 24 hours. You can let it sit outside for more days than that if wanted
just watch the water to make sure it doesn’t all evaporate out. Add more water and a splash of 80 proof vodka if
it does begin to evaporate out.
3. Bring in the bowl of water after it has sat outside for at least 24 hours and do the steps below.
4. Stir water in bowl.
P a g e | 108
108
5. Fill 1 oz dropper bottle with splash of 80 proof vodka (enough to make up about 10-20% of the solution) and fill
up rest of way with distilled water.
6. Add one drop of water (your 1 x remedy) from the bowl you had set outside.
7. Close tincture bottle with dropper and success 100 times. This is now a 3x remedy.
8. Dump out all of liquid from the bottle. Give a little shake as it’s upside down.
9. Using the same bottle, repeat step 5 by adding a splash of vodka and filling up the bottle the rest of the way
with distilled water.
10. Close the tincture bottle with the dropper and success 100 times. This is now a 6x remedy.
Note: You aren’t placing one drop into the bottle from before because even after emptying the bottle and giving it a little
shake, there is still about 1-2 drops of the solution in the bottle that ends up being your “one drop” that turns into the
next diluted remedy strength after being succussed.
11. Repeat the same steps 7 more times: dump it all out and give a little shake. Fill with splash of vodka and fill up
the rest of the way with distilled water. Then succuss 100 times.
12. Once you have repeated those steps 7 more times, you will now have a 27x remedy. If wanted, save this bottle
for future use. Label it with the date and whether it’s being used for pollutants, chem trails or allergies, etc.
13. You can now create your final remedy from the 27x bottle by using 1 drop for every ounce you have in your final
remedy. (For example, if your final remedy bottle is a 4 oz bottle, use 4 drops from the 27x bottle. If it’s a 2
ounce bottle, use 2 drops from the 27x bottle.)
14. Place the appropriate amount of 27x drops into your final bottle and succuss 100 times. This is your final remedy
that you’ll be using.
Administering a Homeopathic Air Solution
Once finished this 30x remedy can be administered by giving 15 drops, in water, one to three times a day. (You
can muscle test to see if more than 15 drops need to be given to the individual.)
Usually 15-30 drops are given, per dose, for an adult. And 10-15 drops are given to children (ages 10 and under)
per dose.
Take dosage 20 minutes away from food or liquids.
Also consider using a homeopathic lymph and liver formula or drink a detoxing tea 1-2 x day along with this
remedy to support he detoxification pathways even further to help the body detox the unwanted substances
from the body. (Drink the tea 20 minutes away from using the homeopathic remedy.)
