    Episode # 167, "The Top Five Antibiotics To Fight The Most Common Infections." Feb 23, 2022
    Show notes

    Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 167, "The Top Five Antibiotics To Fight The Most Common Infections."

    Antibiotics will be critical in long-term SHTF situations.
    The info is shared from www.foodstoragemoms.com. Linda Loosil, author.

    DISCLAIMER: Ms. Loosil is not a doctor or nurse, but has implemented medical info and advice from her own physician, and has researched numerous medical peer-reviewed articles.

    TOP 5 ANTIBIOTICS, and what they affect:

    1. AMOXICILLIN -- strep throat, dental infections, sinus infections, bronchitis bladder infections
    2. CEPHALEXIN (KEFLEX) -- skin/staph infections, bladder, bronchitis, sty, chronic conditions
    3. CIPROFLOXACIN (CIPRO) -- bladder inhaled anthrax
    4. LEVOFLOXACIN (LEVAQUIN) -- pneumonia, diverticulitis, severe sinus infections
    5. AZITHROMYCIN (Z-PACK) -- strep, sinus, bronchitis, tonsilitis

    Ms. Loosil's doctor allows her to purchase antibiotics directly from his office at a significant savings, and can be dispensed I a 90-day supply. Her doctor stated that most prescription antibiotics are effective 5-10 YEARS after their expiration dates.
    Again, antibiotics will be critical in long-term SHTF situations. We need to include them in out medical plan and our preps.

    This is an example of a thirteen week plan. You make it what you wish. It is designed to get you started, and get you stocked up on food.
    It is flexible in that you can change it to suit your need.
    It is also scaleable to whatever budget you have.
    We'd love to hear your feedback.

    Most folks can find $5 per week
    1 less pack of cigs, if you smoke
    1 less cup of that $5 coffee
    2 less fast food trips per month

    Plan doesnt have enough water on this plan, so store additional using empty, washed 2 liter soda bottles.

    This plan does not address special issues such as infants. You can't build a stock of diapers and formula on $5 per week.
