Hey guys! I'm a new prepper working my way through my list of things I find most pressing to change so I can be prepared.
One of my concerns is getting away from modern medications. Not only do I believe that these are probably killing us (why make us better when we're making them money?) but you can't stock up on prescription pills.
My hubby is a mild diabetic. He's been successful with cinnamon as a alternative to metformin. (Less side-effects too!)
Mines a little more complicated. I've done a bit of research but I'm not sure what others have tried and what has worked because mine has to do with my heart. Little bit more complicated issue if you screw up. I am currently on 75 mg of a beta blocker. It is used to control my high blood pressure as well as palpitations and very mild heart arrhythmia. (I'm one of those rare lucky people who has had these since I was born. I've been on the beta blocker since I was about 5.) Now I know if I stop the beta blocker suddenly it can cause some bad consequences so no fear of me doing that but I wanted to know if anyone has any ideas for something I may switch to as an alternative either for when SHTF or even every day usage.
I read that coenzyme Q10 could work and also maybe Aloe Vera. Anyone have experience with using these instead of a modern pill?
 
my mom had gotton some test done within the last 4 month of last year.and they told her that she has type 2 diabeties.so i had joined a diabetic group to learn what i can.there's some knowing ppl there.i hope clyde n them dont mind.but here's a link to it if it's any help to ya.. http://www.diabeticconnect.com/?signed_in=true they might be able to tell something for your hubby.and who knows,they might be able to help out when it comes to you..i aint sure about mentioning prepping there thoe..lol
