I do not have any of these ailments nor do my children but kids do have pneumonia often. That is my fear. How does one treat that without a pharmacy. Aspirin thins blood and you make aspirin from willow bark. I know there is a few thread on here regarding medicinal from trees. As for diabetes. In the book Lucifer's Hammer they made insulin from a sheep. I am not sure if that was fiction or a hidden prepper tip inside a fiction novel. I will have to look that up. Welcome!
Welcome from the Village Idiot. Most think I’m a kook but I’m a proven winner. *tells myself I’m a proven winner*
There are a ton of really good tips and proven medicinal needs available, takes am a digging, but a couple off the top of my head: the Boy Scouts guide to enable plants by region, the SAS survival guide, has a really good section on plants and some basic medical uses. From there you can find many others, speciffically for your area, and special needs. Insulin can be made, but takes caution and a pretty fair working knolage of the prosess and dosage, while I cannot recommnd doing such ( my damn hypocritical oath) I can generally point in the right general direction! Again, welcome, and feel free to ask away, any thing you like, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!
JM, you'll find quite a bit of medicinal plant info in the survival medicine forum. Survival Medicine
