When There Is No Doctor is smartly designed & full of medical tips & emergency suggestions. At a time when our health system has become particularly susceptible to strain, it should be no further than an arm?s reach away in your household.
This is a book about sustainable health, primarily having to do with your health & what you can do to protect it?in bad times certainly, but also in good. I will help you ensure the health of those you love, yourself &, should you so choose, your community, if & when the world changes. World may come to mean your little town or the whole globe. It could change for a few days or weeks, or for a few years. It could change because of a flood, financial crisis, flu pandemic, or failure of our energy procurement, production or distribution systems.
I will not teach you to be a lone survivalist who anticipates doing an appendectomy on himself or a loved one on the kitchen table with a steak knife & a few spoons, although I will discuss techniques of austere & improvised medicine for really hard times.
