Hello Ladies and Gents! I have come to you today to talk about a couple of vitamins and medicines that may be considered a one up in a TEOTWAWKI SHTF situation! Now, we all like to hope and pray that TEOTWAWKI won't make it's way to the table. But, in the event that she does find her way; we should all have medications of some sort; or the means of getting/creating an alternate form! So I will do the usual and list off just a few vitamins and meds to keep on standby. Here we go.

Item 1

One of the most important types of medications you may want to have are Antibiotics! Now, you might say; "but I need a prescription for those." This may not necessarily be the case! A website that I use very often has a form of antibiotics for "fish" and "birds." Now here's the deal on this! I'm not blowing anybody's spot, but I will attach the link so that you can see for yourself! In the description it says "Equal safety, potency to human antibiotics." I'll let you be the judge, but it sounds like if a "fish" needed a little antibiotic fix; this may be able to help them out! Notice I say "Fish." You'll see why if you click the link! There are more options on the site than the link I posted, so check around the site a bit! But anyways, Save your antibiotics! Bacterial infection could and very well may be the leading cause of death at the end!

Item 2

Caffeine is a big one! Nowadays the world has made caffeinated products out of almost anything! This could pose as a problem for those of us who like a little pick me up everyday! Whether it be coffee or some form of energy drink, it is still caffeine! The human body, given enough caffeine can become addicted and slowly build an immunity and dependency! This could pose to be a dangerous time if you are jonesin' for a fix! So something as simple as packets of instant coffee and a few $2 boxes of caffeine pills could be enough to at least ween you off of the stuff!

Item 3

To go along with the caffeine; a good vitamin to carry would be B12 or B6! These are both considered natural energy supplements! I know it isn't the same as that first cup of coffee in the morning as the sun comes up. But, energy is energy at this point! B6 and 12 help your body convert the FOOD you eat into glucose! This is what gives you the energy, so it would pay to have decent food stores as well!

Item 4

A good multivitamin may prove to be a must! Your body may not necessarily be getting all of the nutrients it needs; and you may not be able to provide these nutrients! So, we fix this issue by supplementing the intake! There are literally millions of multivitamins out there so find the one that best suits you and your age/body type!

Item 5

Another good bunch of supplements to have are: Omega 3,6,9, iron, calcium, potassium, amino acids, and the list goes on. But fish oil capsules are a big one! This is a great supplement for the heart! Medical equipment will most certainly not be an option, so let's prevent our hearts from needing it! Iron and calcium are good for the blood and bones! Healthy blood and bones means a healthy Apoco Survivor! This is more than a good thing!! Amino acids will help the body break down lactic acid to reduce muscle pains after a hard days work. Which I am positive there will be plenty of hard working days at TEOTWAWKI.

Item 6

Who could forget the ever so important disinfectant? Now there is more than just Isopropyl Alcohol on this list! You may want to add in a couple more items such as: Hydrogen Peroxide, Iodine, Bleach or Chlorine. These products may prove to be super valuable to your household! Bleach and chlorine are more for water, but why not have them just in case?

Item 7

Stock your medicine cabinet up with all sorts of creams and lotions with medicinal value. You may want to have things like: Antibiotic Cream/Ointment, Burn Cream, Benadryl or Cortizone, Aloe Vera gel, Medicated Lotion, Vaseline, Chap stick, Calamine Lotion and even Diaper Rash Cream! All of these things are assets for different reason! But they will all give you an upper hand in a SHTF environment!

Item 8

Things like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Tylenol and Excederin are very valuable to the team as well! They each serve as pain relievers, but focus on different areas! At the same time you take almost any of these to solve the occasional or constant headache! But Ibuprofen (Motrin) focuses on relieving pain while simultaneously healing inflammation. Aleve (Naproxen) helps with joint pains! Tylenol (Acetaminophen) helps reduce fevers and also relieve the occasional headache! Excederin also has acetaminophen as an active ingredient. It just contains a higher dose to focus on destroying a mean migraine or headache!

Item 9

Last but not least item for my list would be cold medicine. Whether it be in pill form or liquid it is good to have on standby! Cough and flu, mucus reduction, or sleep aids with cough suppressants! These are all good things to have. I'm sure most of us already do! But it would be a bad day if we died from the Flu! That is definitely for sure! There will not be good ol' Flu shots, but with proper hygiene and preventative measures we may beat or prevent it all together with a little help!

Now, as you all may know; these are just a few good things to have in the medicine storage! Most of these items are things that may be in our bathroom above the sink right now! But it is just good to think about how valuable this stuff could be in the future! Right now you may think of it as "eh." You won't be thinking that way in the end! Just keep in mind that everything has an expiration date so rotate your stock! Would I still use expired aspirin? You bet your butt I would. Lol. But the fresher the better! Thank you all for reading. I hope you found this information valuable and informative! Thank you everyone so much! :-)
