Doom and Bloom (TM)

  As a medical doctor/registered nurse practitioner team, we received conventional medical training at university hospitals while getting our degrees.  Since that time, however, we have explored various alternative methods of healing; this is not to replace our education, but as a supplement and as an additional tool in the medical woodshed.   Before you say [...]

  Hey Preppers, Last time,  we talked generally about respiratory infections, respiratory hygiene, and important aspects of your “sick room” for people who are ill and possibly contagious.  We discussed how to tell the difference between colds and influenza, as well.  This article will address various home remedies that will help you recover more quickly. [...]

Hey Preppers, Last time, we talked about the importance of  keeping your eyesight sharp (and protected).  If you ask the average man in the street which of the five senses they would most like to preserve, you can bet that they’ll say their eyesight.  After discussing eye infections in my last article, I think we [...]

Hey Prepper Nation, One of the questions I am asked most often is how to deal with Type 1 (Insulin-Dependent) diabetics in a collapse situation.  I have been informed that Insulin was prepared in Singapore during WWII, in an effort to produce medicine for those in the Jewish community that were denied access to Insulin.  [...]

Hey Prepper Nation, On a regular basis, I receive comments from both those in the traditional medical profession and also from herbalists, homeopaths and other practitioners of alternative medicine.  M.D.s such as myself are known as Allopathic Physicians and learn standard medical theory and the use of modern technology and pharmaceuticals to treat illness.  Alternative [...]

Hey Prepper Nation, I’ve written several times about antibiotics and the importance for every Prepper to have a stock of these in their medical supplies.  As a doctor, I’ve focused on them as tools to treat humans without paying a great deal of attention to their use in animals.  Well, for years there has been [...]

Hey Preppers! Tonight on the Doom and Bloom(tm) Show, Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy welcome Charlie (The Rabbit Guy) and Courtney, a prepping duo.  Charlie is a former Army scout and he and Courtney are homesteading with a vengeance!  We’ll talk about their recent adventures, including some training with the Appleseed Project and our community [...]

Hey Preppers, As an old “country” doctor (don’t mind that creaking noise, it’s just the rocking chair or maybe my joints), I have been saddened by the turn that traditional medicine has taken in the recent past.  It seems that most young doctors today are becoming employees of large medical corporations.  Instead of hanging up [...]

  Hey Preppers, From time to time (like whenever anyone in my family visits), I have to answer questions put before me regarding our decision to be prepared.  Things like, “Um, what is all this stuff?” and “What the heck do you think you’re going to do with these things?”.  Some people aren’t even polite [...]

Medical Bag Hey Preppers, As promised to our friends at the 2011 Survival and Preparedness Conference, here is our wish list for medical supplies.  This particular list is meant for the nuclear family (a couple and their children) who are bugging out and will spend an indeterminate amount of time at an “away camp” while things [...]

End of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) There are  many levels of medical training available now and I encourage you to learn as much as you can, especially if you plan to be your family, group or community medic. However, IF you are strictly learning the material for collapse medicine scenerios, this is [...]

Doom and Bloom Hey Preppers, Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down (to quote an old song), so we’ve decided to move our show to Thursday Nights at 9 pm eastern, 8 pm central time.  Our next show will be on May 26th.  Join us for 90 minutes of lively talk on topics to [...]

Hey Preppers! I often get questions from people that say, I take this medicine or that medicine for this medical problem.  What do I do if there’s a collapse and I can’t get modern medical care.  I usually say, well, what did your doctor say?  Well, I haven’t really asked.  OK, how bad is your [...]

Today Dr.Bones sinks his teeth into survival dentistry! Nurse Amy discusses the wonderous Neem tree! Join us as we continue to help you become “prepared” for a “what if” happens scenario.
