so a lot of you say you're gonna look for your tool box a lot of you said you
had a tool box a lot of you said you're gonna find
something like a tool box and said today we have our tool box and it's still
empty but this is week one of filling up our medical tool box now a subscriber
said about getting some red tape and making a cross on the front so you are
reminded and everybody else knows that that is a first aid kit
I think that's an a wonderful idea and I'm gonna see if I can find something
and that is red that I could use that that's a great idea so I bought another
one of the triple antibiotic now I bought one two weeks ago but I used that
one that one actually I didn't have any so this one is going to go into her
medical box so here's what I got this week and this was at the Dollar Tree
also the Family Dollar and the Dollar General all have these also for a dollar
each I got 80 band-aids and they're all different sizes so we got them what I'm
probably gonna do is so I have more room in my boxes I'm going to take them out
of the box because there are already sealed so they are a ready stir oh
stirol' so I might take them out of the box because this isn't going to give us
a whole lot of room but we'll see once for now we're just going to keep them in
the box and put it in here and then I got some alcohol prep pads I was really
excited to see this at the Dollar Tree I didn't know they carry these these
alcohol prep pads are good for all kinds of things they're good for if you have
wounds but this is alcohol and you can use this to sanitize anything so if you
had to sanitize something and a grid down or whatever situation if you have a
knife and you want to make sure it's sanitized you can use these alcohol pads
for that doesn't necessarily have to be for a wound
and then I got some gauze pads which is quite explainable you need gauze pads
which is great for anything you have to pull a tooth it's good for that as well
or anything like that so we have one of them and the last thing brings me to a
very important subject and you know we're talking about things if they
become bad we're talking about you know all kinds of situations where things
would you know we wouldn't be able to go to the store you know if the world would
suddenly end or almost end and we'd have a collapse but this number one thing
that I would recommend in everybody's medical box is this now I want to say
something to you I'm not a doctor I'm not a nurse I'm not you so I don't know
what medications you're on I don't know what medications you're going to be on I
don't know about your health I don't know anything about that you need to be
proactive in your own health if you take medications you need to know what you're
taking you need to know what you can take with those medications funny
medication and I have only ever been on medication maybe a few times in my life
and two of those for trauma situations and you know another one it was just
four antibiotics so I don't know much about people's medications so when I say
that that is all a disclaimer to say this if you are a relatively healthy
person and you're not on medications or the doctor says you can this is a
life-saving not if the grid goes down not if the end of the world happens if
you have a heart attack Bayer Aspirin this is something in your medical box
that can save a loved one and you really need to have it especially the older you
get Bayer Aspirin we need to know where our medical boxes are we need to know
how we can achieve them really quickly you're not going to put your medical box
somewhere deep where all your food storages where you can't where you can't
get at it if this is your main medical box Bayer Aspirin
the first signs of a heart attack you take this it will help thin your blood
give you more time to see a doctor and to be in the hospital so Bayer Aspirin
is a real important thing is your medical box this is very elementary but
I'm going to share with you something that's a little more intermediate but
something everybody should have and everybody should learn have all the
medical supplies we're learning our medical supplies but there are some
books that I really recommend and one of these was donated by a missionary family
who no longer needed it and I was just so blessed to be able to have it it's
called where there is no doctor I'm going to check for all of you and do my
research to see if you can actually buy this book anymore but it's where there
is no doctor and this book was made for missionaries out in the mission field
this is a very technical book but this is a book that could save a life if you
had it in your hands because I was just reminded not long ago you know when I
went to the ER with my granddaughter you know and my daughter had to go to the
emergency room she waited for hours before they even seen her
and our whole medical situation here in the United States is it a dire point we
have so many people in the hospitals the hospitals are full emergency wards are
full our whole medical infrastructure is just not very good but what happens if
we can't go to the hospital you know what happens if we couldn't go to the
doctor there are some things that we should learn because it's a situation
where you could die either way and so having this book is really good
it talks about meningitis it talks about delivery of a baby it talks about lumps
and growths and things to do things to help yourself talked about a home aid
kit so once again it's called where there is no doctor as you can see is
very beat up of this book but where there is no doctor this will book called
where there is new dentist and an abscess tooth can be
life-threatening if you don't take care of it
it can cause poisons in your bloodstream so many things could be simple things
but if you don't take care of them you could die so what is the point in having
years of food years of water but you die from having a cut on your finger that
could have been drained and sutured and put medication on it and you could be
okay so the whole preparing thing is such a wide scope but it all comes
together and so while we prepare for our food we prepare for our water supply we
got to prepare for our health our health is first if you have you know disease oh
you have a a physical ailment learn all you can about that I know when I do some
of these people say well Tessie not everybody can do what you do or Tessie
you know there's some people that have physical problems I agree I understand
that but take your health in your own hands and learn what you can about it
learn about it in case you don't have a doctor to confide in in case you can't
go to emergency room someday it doesn't hurt to learn about it do you have
diabetes what do you do in diabetes what can you do what can you help yourself if
you wouldn't have the medication all of these things are not to put fear in your
heart but to it's a journey it's to give you something to think about
it's to be proactive in your life but to be one of them end-of-the-world Preppers
it's just being proactive in your body and in your health and in your whole
home life being proactive as much as you can you know and you will find great
satisfaction in that you'll find great satisfaction in learning you know we all
inherit it certain things we all inherit it things we all inherited certain
diseases certain traits some people have a lot of cancer in their family some
people have heart disease in their family some people have anxiety and
mental disorders in their family but all of these things we can learn about we
can learn and gain knowledge don't just go by what somebody else says
be proactive and learn for yourself and you will see an amazing journey in your
life and it will be very freeing not fearing take everyone we'll see you guys
