be brutal compared to what we have been getting the last several years.
It is suppose to hit us a lot earlier as well. My<a href="http://www.almanac.com/content/almanacs-long-range-weather-forecast-us-and-canada" target="_blank"> sources </a>say the end of September or early October.
<br />
<blockquote>
According to the newest edition of North America’s oldest
continuously published periodical, a decline in solar activity combined
with ocean-atmosphere patterns in the Pacific and Atlantic will result
in below-normal temperatures and above-normal snowfall during most of
the winter across much of the United States.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
“This winter is shaping up to be a rough one,” says Janice Stillman,
editor of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. “Sweaters and snow shovels should be
unpacked early and kept close by throughout the season. The good news
is that the extra precipitation—which will fall as rain or snow
depending where you are—will help with any drought issues left over from
the summer.”</blockquote>
Where I currently live we tend to lose power during every storm and
with no fireplace or wood burning stove, an alternate heat and cooking
source is a must for our survival. This article will touch base on some
basic things you will need to consider storing so you and your family
will make it through the winter comfortably.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Milk, Eggs and Bread Oh My!</strong></span><br />
<br />
We have all seen how crazy people get at the idea that the store
might run out of bread, milk and eggs during natural disasters or a
threat of severe weather. This winter is no exception. The cost on these
items will sky rocket the closer we get to it. People will begin to
panic and possibly start raiding stores in some areas. My suggestion
would be to start purchasing powdered milk and eggs now so you will have
plenty later and won’t have to fight a mob. (Wonderful information on
powdered milk can be <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.com/2012/12/powdered-milk-for-your-preps-which-one-should-i-pick-and-why.html" target="_blank">found here</a>.)
Also, store up on shelf stable foods such as soups, beans or anything
that might help keep you warm that can be cooked using an alternative
heat source. ie….grill, camp stove, campfire etc.<br />
<br />
<strong>Milk</strong>- Below are several links to powdered milk that
has been researched and has good reviews in regards to taste. I would
also recommend purchasing some <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IAE8FRS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00IAE8FRS&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20&linkId=SZHO5SD2VH7ASONX" target="_blank">chocolate powder</a>
to make chocolate milk for the little ones or yourself if you want a
change. Comfort foods and drinks can play an important role in an
uncomfortable, unfamiliar situation.<br />

</ul>
<strong>Eggs</strong> are one of those things a lot of people do not
keep tabs on when it comes to how many eggs their family uses per month.
For this reason alone we keep powdered eggs in our pantry and our food
storage. They come in great when baking and for breakfast when I am out
or when the electric goes out. There is no refrigeration involved what
so ever so it’s one less thing to worry about in a winter storm. Toss in
some real bacon crumble (salad topper) with the eggs and grab that box
of hash brown mix off the shelf and voila, you have a hot breakfast with
or without electric.<br />
<br />
Ova Easy Eggs- <em>In my opinion </em>is one of the best out there when it comes to crystallized eggs. By far the healthiest when it comes to nutritional value. (<a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.com/2012/10/ovaeasy-whole-egg-crystals-review.html" target="_blank">Review and Facts</a>)
OvaEasy Eggs are made with technology that keeps the egg’s nutrition
and flavor intact. They gently evaporate the egg in a low temperature
procedure which causes the water to evaporate leaving the whole egg
crystals, hence the name, Egg Crystals. To reconstitute these Egg
Crystals, just add water! They really do taste just like fresh scrambled
eggs!<br />

<br />
<strong>Bread-</strong> How ever much you think will last your
family for at least a week then buy some and store it in the freezer or
be prepared to bake some.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>Water Is a Must Store Item</em>……not an option.</strong></span><br />
There are several ways of storing water quickly that you can choose
from. The most common is to buy gallon jugs, bottles of water, or wash
and refill juice or soda bottles. I have also seen some really neat <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MAG7FW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008MAG7FW&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20&linkId=BM22D6JXQSFFJS2J" target="_blank">stack able water containers</a>. (I have not personally used them so if you have please comment below and let us know if they are worth it.)<br />
Listed below are a few other great examples.<br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Alternate Heat/Cooking Sources are Important</strong></span><br />
Especially if you live in areas that are extremely cold. Some of the
more obvious things you probably already have are extra blankets,
sleeping bags, warm shoes batteries/flashlights etc… A few things you
may not of thought of might be….<br />
<br />

If you have a fireplace,wood stove or generator then you are good to go
my friend, but if not then you should consider at least one or two
alternate sources of heat for your family. Based off of friends advice
and much research we purchased a Mr. Heater as our alternate source for
now. It can be run off two small portable camping propane tanks. (Like
the ones used on a Coleman camp cook stove.) Or a bigger Grill style
tank. (make sure to purchase the longer hose and adapter for the bigger
tanks.) The Big Buddy 18,000 BTU/HR capacity can heat up to 400 sq ft.
The Big Buddy combines radiant heat with convection heat air flow for
maximum heating efficiency. Multi-position heat settings control comfort
level. Built-in low oxygen sensor and tip over switch ensure safe,
reliable confident operation. It has an easy-carry handle with built-in
blower fan to circulate heated air for higher heating efficiency. Blower
fan operates on 4D-cell batteries or with optional 6-volt A/C adapter.
As with grilling it is very important to make sure all of the propane is
out of the hose once you turn it off.<br />

well so that you are able to cook what ever is in the fridge once the
power is out. Stock up on some charcoal and propane for those grills!!

the stairs and other important areas out side of your home is a very
important thing to consider adding to your garage. Rock salt is very
cheap and well worth it compared to the cost of a broken bone, physical
therapy or a trip to the emergency room. We also keep a small container
of this in the back of our vehicle during winter in case we ever need to
get out of a bad situation. For a detailed list of some items you might
want to add to your EDC Car Kit,<a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.com/2012/08/edc-car-kits.html" target="_blank"> click here</a>.)<br />

is important. Always keep your phones, tablets and lap tops charged
with an extra battery back up. A solar charger is a wonderful addition
to your preps in case you lose power for more than a day or two. If your
able to drive out of your area then you can always take advantage of
outlets restaurants provide to customers. It is always wise to have an
emergency weather radio for updates on the conditions in your area. The
one we have chosen to use is the<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSFDE6Y/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00KSFDE6Y&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20&linkId=FJALLG2AFZICV6JT" target="_blank"> Ambient Weather WR112 Emergency Solar Hand Crank Weather Radio, flash light, smart phone charger, with weather alert siren.</a><br />
<br />
<strong>Medications:</strong> Have a supply of ever family members
medications in one spot along with a print out of each persons medical
history and their doctors information. This is very important in case
you get trapped inside for several weeks or have to evacuate your home.
The last thing you want to do is search for your medicines and hope you
got everything if you have 20 minutes to get out of dodge.<br />
<br />
Depending on where you live, this is a *very basic* list of things
you should consider having around before winter strikes this year. Every
person will have different needs, but if you cover Water, Food, Heat,
Communication and a way to cook then you should be able to make it just
fine until power comes back on. Have an evacuation plan ready to go and
practiced with your family just in case you need to leave your home for a
short time. Remember, being prepared is what saves your life….not the
government.<br />

Convert your Mason Jars into conventional oil lamps! These come in a
pack of four and are lids that fit on mason jars to turn them into oil
lamps for when the electricity is out and you need to see. For any
canner these are a perfect gift because they always have jars. If the

idea: Last year I bought a case of 12 mason jars ($16.00), 12 of the
Mason Jar Oil Lamp Lids ($60.00), and 12 Jugs of lamp oil ($96.00) and
made 12 gift bags for 12 people and all for about $170.00 in supplies.
You can’t beat that if you have multiple people to buy gifts for. You
can of course omit the oil and your cost drops to $76.00 for 12 gifts
for 12 people. (Note: These are not a good idea for those living in
earth quake zones.)</i><br />

sleeping bags and think they are covered. Unless you sleep in it though
you do not know if you will fit in it or are comfortable in it. The
downside to a two person sleeping bag is only one person carries it.

on first aid kits to find one for my car. I originally thought I would
have to build a kit on my own because I couldn’t find one that had
everything you would need for a real emergency–until I found this. This
kit has stuff for small injuries and for large emergencies. My husband
is a certified EMT and uses this kit when he is off work. I bought it
thinking it would be a great thing to have for my accident-prone
children, but my husband soon took it because he liked it so much. We
have used it for small “boo-boo’s” and for when my husband splashed gas
into his eyes ~don’t ask. Thankfully, we haven’t used it for a big
emergency, but it gives great comfort knowing that we are prepared if
anything should happen.”</i><br />

I personally CAN many different types of berry jelly and jams and I
HATE the seeds. Food Strainers work by quickly separating fruit from
skin, seeds and stems. This is an awesome time saver for anyone who
loves to CAN their own foods or preserve foods. It also makes great
sauces, juices, purees, and jams without the painful peeling and coring
that would normally take hours depending on what you’re canning.<br />
There is also an awesome accessory kit to go with it if you so choose to give your loved one more products to work with.<br />
<br />

As difficult as it is to survive a rip tide in Myrtle Beach
or anywhere else it is difficult sharing this story. There is a valuable point
to you the reader. To you the parent of a 12 year old son, and a 12 year old
daughter; that find yourself in this most frightening and terrifying ordeal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Summer 2009 the family blissfully basking on the beach.
Finally away from society and alone we can wash away our stresses and just be
ourselves. You know what it’s like to get away. The ocean... Myrtle Beach... or
Puerto Del Secreto, Mexico.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any place
you can go and stay in a rented house that has a pool overlooking a beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A place that promises you total enjoyment,
recreation and the hope that your children will grow closer and find something
special to remember with affection for years to come.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a former Marine and a police officer with 10 years on the
job there is no place safer, nor more enjoyable than being all alone with your
wife and children on the beach. Seriously, the kids are great swimmers and
there isn’t a person within a mile to the East or the West. It’s a situation
where you and your wife might even be able to slip over a dune for a little
frisky play. So why not totally relax. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But as often happens at the beaches of the world you notice
the wind picked up. The kids went in the water because the waves are a little
more pronounced. The only two other people to be seen are two young surfers…
obviously regulars out beyond the kids on their boards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kids are playing with each other
vigorously splashing around. It’s such a satisfying picture as you cuddle up
with your wife.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sure you’re getting the idea right. You see I’m painting a
nice picture. You have probably even experienced this scene over and over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But now I must proclaim that my skin is
tensing as I write this story because I feel this day and often find myself
lost in thought because of it. The Rip Tide at Myrtle Beach ~ at any beach is
an evil creature that skulks in the dark water beyond your children’s playful
splashing. How do you survive a rip tide at Myrtle Beach or any beach is the
question that my children must answer. This story doesn’t get any warmer so if
you’re feeling prickly and nervous as I am while I write it you may just want
to move on. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
While embraced in a kiss with my wife I felt so at peace our
feet in the warm sand. The wind cooling us as it was hot and our skin burned
from the sun. Mothers have powerful radars when it comes to children
misbehaving and for children in danger. When my wife broke our embrace I was
certain I would be scolding the kids for throwing sand or some other childish
prank. But there it was the question – the eyes of my wife like a blackboard
with neon chalk “how to survive rip tide at Myrtle Beach” etched on my soul…. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were no words just that silent instruction that only a
mother, a wife, a parent transmits to the other that it is time to act. As my
gaze turned 180 degrees the entire world stood still and in a millisecond I
processed more information than I had consumed in a year. My children were in
that ocean. Those little waves that were only a few feet high moments ago were
somehow turned into towering sheets of angry sea. My children were not shouting
as playful memories being registered on their brains. They were terrified
panicking screams for “Dad” “DAAAAAAAAAD” and it hit struck me like a current
in a high voltage line. Rip Tide, undertow, dark water, the infinite sea had my
children. I was 50 feet away. 40 feet away.. 30 feet away.. what happened to
those surfers with their wet suits and boards? 25 feet away.. my mind replayed
that five minutes earlier I saw those surfers getting the hell out of that
water and leaving the beach. Why didn’t it sink in? Why didn’t I allow common
sense to acknowledge that even the local surfers left this ocean in a hurry?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh how content we are when we feel oblivious and lost in our
relaxing precious moments. All along the kids were not playing they were
shouting for our help those moments because they’re bodies were being cast
around without their control. They appeared to be jumping up and down but that
was nothing more than the demonic pulsing of the rip tide of Myrtle Beach. They
were learning how to survive the rip tide of Myrtle Beach while we so
foolishly, selfishly, tuned them out! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10 feet my son closest to me is crying and somehow holding
his own. My wife inches behind me moving faster than a squirrel dodging a car.
My eyes take it in the danger is beyond my control and beyond my abilities. As
a police officer this would be the time that I would fight people back not to
go in, not to add more lives to the obvious swirling and churning that would
surely swallow anyone that would meet the challenge. Words.. shouting.. beyond
my memory… I’m in!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like a football player tacking a quarterback I watch a wave
hit my boy and my girl…. my precious and angelic little girl went from just 20
feet away.. 10 feet from my boy… to being ripped and stolen from my eyesight. I
fought in that water and I can’t describe it all. But my son was strong and
with a tug as I got to him with my wife not holding herself back in the water
just enough to not go under. My son was able to bounce out and grab his
terrified mother’s hand. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I see her.. I see my daughter she’s crying and shouting…
flailing and giving up… “Dad.. dad. .. I can’t breathe..”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sense how deep the water is and how far we
have gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that it is too far. I
know that it is too late. I know that we are in deep. I know that we ARE ALONE…
Just me and my daughter in this sea. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have a random thought about my glasses and can’t believe
they remained on my face. I fought and pushed through the oceans like a fireman
in flames. Not able to breathe or see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not able to use any sense of logic. This is my little girl and that is
my wife watching us drown… and that is my son… screaming… screaming… “Mom… I
don’t want them to die”… lying in the sand fighting the sand and the tears and
the god awful helplessness. My mind goes blank as I realize that I’m done! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How to survive the rip tide of Myrtle Beach… is not a
question; it is a reality. I couldn’t see my daughter and she was an arm’s
length from me moments before. For whatever reason she was the one that was
furthest from the beach and the ocean had her. I could only think how week I
was at that moment. I am Former Marine, a strong swimmer, a man who ran
marathons, survived a year in Afghanistan, a man who fought in a world
championship martial arts competition<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>was clearly capable of surviving where others will not. But how did my
daughter make it this long. It is easily ten minutes into this fight. I was
numb by the fear of her not making it. But something very odd and much
unexpected happened inside of me. Something this is not in my nature and
something I have never done before. I QUIT!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was so overwhelmed by the ocean and my helplessness that I
literally froze in time and had a moment with myself. I literally told myself
that “this is it” and I’m at peace as I can’t fight this anymore. There was no
religious burst, no logical reserves to carry me. I didn’t try to breathe or
focus I just relaxed. This moment felt very much as if it were a month in time.
I could not see my wife and son on the beach anymore but I sensed them. And I
sensed my DAUGHTER.. And I woke the fuck up.. And I found her. I told her to
“keep fighting and stop talking or you’re going to drown.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I leverage myself on the tail of a wave and
got body to body with my daughter and I used one arm and shoved her on the next
wave. She zipped forward and I followed. Then again.. And I shouted to swim and
she swam; and again and again.. And now I could see my wife and I could see my
son… and my exhausted daughter right next to me. We were fighting this fucker
together and we weren't going down. I was crying as we got closer because I
knew we were going to make it.. I wasn't going to be that dad that let his kids
drown in that fucking ocean.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rip tide at Myrtle Beach didn't let up. Even when I
could get my feet down and was able to wrap my arm around my daughter that evil
demon grabbed at my feet. I felt the skin cutting on whatever it was on the
ocean floor. But now I home free and my Wife and Son were crying and there to
pull us to safety. Oh how precious those children are. Oh how unbelievably
close to losing them we were!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s been a few years and I still tear up remembering that
day. I just can’t believe we survived that ordeal. I am so very proud of my
Wife for having the sense to know our children were in danger. I’m so very
proud of my children for not quitting and dealing with their panic and their
terror and being able to survive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me
the question of How to Survive the Rip Tide of Myrtle Beach will be sorted out
with a therapist in a year or two. I was shaken that day more so than any day
that I have survived gun play. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, for you my dear friends I have a few short tips on how
to survive a rip tide at Myrtle Beach. First, be more attentive to the people
you are with. Second ALWAYS have some sort of flotation device with you at the
beach. Even a cooler would have been helpful. When I got out there my ability
to survive would have increased if I simply had something to hold on to for my
daughter. Always test the water yourself before you let your children go in it.
Finally, if you see that you are alone and that people are leaving the water
–ask yourself the question “why.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t become that family that loses a loved one while on
vacation! I can tell you first hand that the ocean is a mysterious and living creature
that has many demons. Thankfully I am the only one in my family that has any
emotional baggage from that event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Writing this and knowing that this emotional lesson may be touching
enough that people will read it and may be able to allow their instincts to
avoid this danger in the future.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Let's start with what usually
appears as the protein source and the primary ingredient in pet food: Meat
byproducts or meat meal. Both are euphemisms for the parts of animals that
wouldn't be considered meat by any smart consumer. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The well-known phrase "meat
byproducts" is a misnomer since these byproducts contain little, if any,
meat. These are the parts of the animal left over after the meat has been
stripped away from the bone. "Chicken by-products include head, feet,
entrails, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, liver, stomach, bones, blood,
intestines, and any other part of the carcass not fit for human
consumption,"</i></b> writes Henry Pasternak in <i>Healing Animals with
Nature's Cures</i>. </span></div>

down flesh of animals we would find unacceptable for consumption. This can
include zoo animals, road kill, and 4-D (dead, diseased, disabled, dying)
livestock. Most shockingly, this also can include dogs and cats.</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> That's right, <b>your pets could be cannibals</b>. <i>Fast
Food Nation</i> author Eric Schlosser writes, "Although leading American
manufacturers promise never to put rendered pets into their <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/pet_food.html">pet food</a>, it is still legal
to do so. A Canadian company, Sanimal Inc., was putting 40,000 pounds of dead
dogs and dead cats into its dog and cat food every week, until discontinuing
the practice in June 2001. "This <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/food.html">food</a> is healthy and good,"
said the company's vice president of procurement, responding to critics, ''but
some people don't like to see meat meal that contains any pets."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Unfortunately, harmful chemical
preservatives and other artificial additives are the norm in most pet foods. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Some
are intentionally added by the manufacturer, while others come from the
herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides used by farmers to boost crop yields.</i></b>
Many pet foods advertised as "preservative-free" do, in fact, contain
preservatives. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">As the law is currently written, manufacturers don't have to list
preservatives that they themselves did not add.</i></b> Many preservatives make
their way into pet food at rendering plants before the meat is even sent to the
manufacturer. An analysis of several pet foods labeled "chemical
free" or "all natural ingredients" found synthetic antioxidants
in all samples. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">With continued use, low levels of these synthetic antioxidants may
build up in the tissues; inges-tion of small doses over time may be just as
toxic as a single large dose. About 60 percent of all herbicides, 90 percent of
all fungicides, and 30 percent of all insecticides are considered to be cancer
causing in and of themselves.6-7 <br />

with cirrhosis. Lungs can be filled with pneumonia. If an animal is diseased
and declared unfit for human consumption, the carcass is acceptable for pet
food. Even parts of animals, such as "stick marks,"—the area of the
body where animals have been injected with antibiotics, hormones, or other
drugs—are cut from the carcasses intended for human consumption and used for
meat by-product for pet food. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The process that turns these animals
and animal parts into pet food is also disgusting. After all, it takes a lot to
turn roadkill into something owners feel good about pouring into their pets'
bowls. Ann M. Martin describes the process in <i>Food Pets Die For</i>:
"At the rendering plant a machine slowly grinds the entire mess in huge
vats. Then this product is cooked at temperatures between 220 degrees
Fahrenheit and 270 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes to one hour. The mixture
is centrifuged (spun at a high speed) and the grease (or tallow) rises to the
top and it is removed from the mixture. The grease becomes the source of animal
fat in most pet foods. Oftentimes, when you open a standard can of <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/dog_food.html">dog food</a>, you will see a
top layer of fat. The centrifuged product is the source of that fat, which is
meant to entice a hungry dog or cat. After the grease is removed in the
rendering process, the remaining material is dried. Meat meal, and meat and
bone meal are the end product of this process. This dried material is usually
found in dry pet food." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Rendering practices aren't just
gross; they're also dangerous for your pets. The chemicals used to euthanize
zoo animals, dogs and cats can survive the cooking process, which means these
chemicals end up in pet food, and ultimately, in your pet. Martin writes,
"Euthanized cats and dogs often end up in rendering vats along with other
questionable material to make meat meal, and meat and bone meal. This can be problematic
because sodium pentobarbital can withstand the heat from rendering. For years,
some veterinarians and animal advocates have known about the potential danger
of sodium pentobarbital residue in commercial pet food, yet the danger has not
been alleviated." In short, that means <b>the poisons designed to kill <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/pets.html">pets</a> are the same ones being
fed to them</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fats are necessary for good health
and disease prevention. Here again, fats should be raw or unrefined—not
processed. Meat, fish, eggs, or milk in their natural states are the best
sources of fat. The pet food industry prepares some pet foods with high levels
of omega-3 fatty acids that are claimed to be effective for treating various
inflammatory diseases. However, omega-3 fatty acids are quite sensitive to heat
and are destroyed and easily become rancid during processing. Cod liver oil can
be added to pet foods. It is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as
vitamin A. Proteins </span></div>

because sodium pentobarbital can withstand the heat from rendering. For years,
some veterinarians and animal advocates have known about the potential danger
of sodium pentobarbital residue in commercial pet food, yet the danger has not
been alleviated. The "Report of the American Veterinary Medical
Association (AVMA) Panel on Euthanasia," states, "In euthanasia of
animals intended for human or animal food, chemical agents that result in

diet, in addition to farm animals, is euthanized pets-the six or seven million
dogs and cats that are killed in animal shelters every year. The city of Los
Angeles alone, for example, sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and
dogs to a rendering plant every month. Added to the blend are the euthanized
catch of animal control agencies, and roadkill. (Roadkill is not collected
daily, and in the summer, the better roadkill collection crews can generally
smell it before they can see it) When this gruesome mix is ground and
steam-cooked, the lighter, fatty material floating to the top gets refined for
use in such products as cosmetics, lubricants, soaps, candles, and waxes. The
heavier protein material is dried and pulverized into a brown powder—about a
quarter of which consists of fecal material. The powder is used as an additive
to almost all pet food as well as to livestock feed. Farmers call it
"protein concentrates." In 1995, five million tons of processed slaughterhouse
leftovers were sold for animal feed in the United States. I used to feed tons
of the stuff to my own livestock. It never concerned me that I was feeding
cattle to cattle. </span></i></b><br />

renderers with the leftovers from slaughtered animals not fit for human
consumption. Before these animal parts and by-product used for pet food are
shipped from the slaughterhouse to the rendering plant, the by-product is
"denatured." This means that crude carbolic acid, cresylic
disinfectant, or citronella, is sprayed on the product. In the case of a whole beef
or swine carcass that has been condemned, the denaturing product is injected
into the entire carcass. If meat inspectors condemn only parts of an animal,
the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires that "before
an approved denaturing agent is applied, the product must be freely slashed so
that pieces are less than 4" in diameter. This allows the denaturant to
contact all parts of the product." </span></div>

Candles are an easy-to-use source of emergency lighting and a little bit
of heat. I'm shocked to see some of the prices that are charged for
long burning candles sold for survival or emergency preparedness - if
you want to buy a dozen or so candles, the cost really starts to add up.<br />
<br />
Never fear! You can make your own survival candles at home for cheap,
using high-quality, long burning soy wax. It's an easy project - the
materials are easy to buy and you won't need any specialized tools.<br />

candles and are sold in craft stores or Amazon. I bought a 10 pound bag
from Amazon for $8.9<b>0</b>.
A pound of wax will fill around a 24 ounce container, give or take. You
can use other wax, but soy is affordable, typically has a longer burn
time than other waxes and has some other beneficial qualities
(all-natural, renewable, etc.).</li>
<li><b>Canning jars.</b> I purchased a dozen 8 ounce jars from Wal Mart
for around $8. If you have jars around the house, no need to buy 'em.
We've used jars from jams, sauces and so on for candles in the past.</li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
First, you'll want to get your wicks ready. If your wicks are way too
long for your container, you'll want to trim them down to approximate
size. I had 9" wicks here. Insert the wick into the tab - I found it
helpful to use my Leathman to "tighten" the mouth of the tab around the
wick, but it's not a must. If you buy pre-tabbed wicks then you can skip
this part.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Put your wicks in the jars. Don't worry if they're not centered - we'll fix that after we pour the wax. Now it's meltin' time!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKWcbqFmBS9xs5odFUdyMbYo9gFGmJ_ufqKb8geGGjPB-uuLM8ctoMloFnrQeXA5aCw-5F47UOmmNK6YKdJZLr893pnhgUTMVGOFlR_7xZHKpMn6Xd4XssaWYtLZxEegg7fI_qnnIqA/s1600/candles_5_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKWcbqFmBS9xs5odFUdyMbYo9gFGmJ_ufqKb8geGGjPB-uuLM8ctoMloFnrQeXA5aCw-5F47UOmmNK6YKdJZLr893pnhgUTMVGOFlR_7xZHKpMn6Xd4XssaWYtLZxEegg7fI_qnnIqA/s320/candles_5_wm.jpg" height="320" width="220" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This is my "double boiler." Works well enough. Using a double boiler
helps melt the wax gently, avoiding risk of it catching fire, burning,
etc. You could probably do it without, but it's not hard to improvise so
why not?<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
And now fully melted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORMB-iYGGEUY6J6_4swNjr4kJyHkPRYlZ2ZrxxSW557rfIhxa0f9YIDon9K2begtpPJFanGcMO7fUVAgP8aiQSxpR3qEon1zu7AW3helGx0D1b_Y2Go7dobULny_xpaVPvZlMZQuP2A/s1600/candles_8_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORMB-iYGGEUY6J6_4swNjr4kJyHkPRYlZ2ZrxxSW557rfIhxa0f9YIDon9K2begtpPJFanGcMO7fUVAgP8aiQSxpR3qEon1zu7AW3helGx0D1b_Y2Go7dobULny_xpaVPvZlMZQuP2A/s320/candles_8_wm.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Carefully transfer the melted wax into your pouring container. Then,
pour away! Don't worry about the container - soy wax is all natural,
non-toxic and cleans up fairly easily. Beware if you have a soy allergy,
though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilAsRq8cjiF0A9AOUipzjcljyS2LDe6Kk6UnYOJHpJ8ImxFABOKN8Dh4hoFvNYsaORzcFkNgn5X1XBP6-YI72JaFB6wlmI3yX2A-_6b9ub7WJl0u8z-CK1_e5PTfQ_JEloArkS_w-0Q/s1600/candles_9_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilAsRq8cjiF0A9AOUipzjcljyS2LDe6Kk6UnYOJHpJ8ImxFABOKN8Dh4hoFvNYsaORzcFkNgn5X1XBP6-YI72JaFB6wlmI3yX2A-_6b9ub7WJl0u8z-CK1_e5PTfQ_JEloArkS_w-0Q/s320/candles_9_wm.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Don't fill the jar up the whole way - leave some room between the wax
and the top of the container. You'll want to center the wicks at this
point. Then, take a break and let the wax cool and harden up. Almost
done!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZZ9ycwY3M92JmUGwSkZTr_Hz7ibAZz0uTSTw4vO5EkL_bdoIhcCe8szmfs7FlwBlxcR7s6X97FXT6uhaq2PmSGYUuMehvSSxIr9v92OO2tDo6Y82-XtC4WYsFkcLHSUFE-ks5KwjEQ/s1600/candles_10_wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZZ9ycwY3M92JmUGwSkZTr_Hz7ibAZz0uTSTw4vO5EkL_bdoIhcCe8szmfs7FlwBlxcR7s6X97FXT6uhaq2PmSGYUuMehvSSxIr9v92OO2tDo6Y82-XtC4WYsFkcLHSUFE-ks5KwjEQ/s320/candles_10_wm.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Last step. After the wax has cooled, trim the wicks as needed--you want
the wick to be about 1/4" above the wax. Then, screw the lids on and
you're ready for storage!<br />
<br />
While some advertise 70+ hours of burn time for 8 ounce candles like
this, they're more in the ballpark of 40 to 50 hours, and you'll get the
most life out of them if you burn the candles four hours at a time.
Since you would only use the candle for about 4 hours every evening, a
single candle should last for around 10 days of regular use. Not bad!
You can of course use different sized jars--bigger for longer burn time,
or multiple wicks for more light.<br />
<br />
Including the purchase of new jars, my cost per candle is around $1.62. With recycled jars, it's under a dollar.<br />
<br />
These aren't crap materials, either--these are the same quality of
materials use for high-end aromatherapy candles that sell for $20 a pop.
Another plus - the combination of soy wax's lower melting point and the
protective glass jar make this a safer source of light when compared to
other candles, oil lanterns and so on.<br />
<br />
One modification that I plan to make it to include a booklet of matches
inside of each jar - cheap and makes sure you've got a way to light the
candle if it's pulled out of storage during a power outage, etc.<br />
<br />
Anyways, give it a shot and let us know how it goes! Have fun!<br />

buffalo anything is a favorite in our house by the majority of people
here. So I thought, what better meal in a jar to prep for than some
buffalo chicken and rice!!<br />
<br />
It turned out great so I had to share the recipe with all of you.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>6 tablespoons spice mix (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CT9PVO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005CT9PVO&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">Knorrs</a> or <a href="http://jalapenogalswayofliving.com/2013/06/06/buffalo-spice-mix/" target="_blank">home-made</a>), more or less to taste</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NX6RZ4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002NX6RZ4&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">minute rice</a></li>
<li>1/2 cup freeze-dried <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096R26LY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0096R26LY&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">mixed vegetables</a> <b>OR</b> 1/4 cup <a href="http://www.jalapenogal.com/celery" target="_blank">celery</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C7H412/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007C7H412&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">carrots</a> each</li>
<li>1 1/2 cup freeze-dried <b>OR</b> dehydrated chicken, you can use <a href="http://www.jalapenogal.com/cooked-chicken" target="_blank">cubed</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096R2SZS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0096R2SZS&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">ranchers cut (shredded)</a></li>
<li>3 cups of Hot water</li>
<li>1 case of Quart Jars (about $10.00 at Walmart)</li>
</ul>
<b>Directions For Cooking: </b><i>Print this label and secure it to the jar.</i><br />
<ul>
<li>Add ingredients from jar and 3 cups of warm water to a cold skillet.</li>
<li>As your skillet heats the water will re-hydrate the ingredients.</li>
<li>Place lid on skillet stirring occasionally so rice does not stick to the skillet.</li>
<li>Cook until rice is tender and meal is hot. (about 10-20 minutes)</li>
</ul>
You can put the ingredients in the jar in any order that works for
you. I like to start with the rice or chicken and then add the buffalo
spice mix so I can shake the powder down some to make more room for the
rest of the ingredients. Use your vacuum sealer to seal the jars.
(Equipment picture links below)<br />
<br />
This particular recipe will make 8 quart jar meals before running out
of Chicken. I had leftover Vegetables, rice and buffalo mix. Had I
opted to use another can of chicken then I probably could of gotten
another 6 meals made out of it. There are four of us and we each got a
large full bowl of this meal. The great part is that it passed the
test!! Everyone really enjoyed this meal with no questions asked. They
could not tell that any of the ingredients were freeze-dried.<br />
<br />
Cost for 8 Spicy Buffalo Chicken and Rice meals in jars was approx
$103.00. This one jar will feed 4 people a good size bowl for supper. So
technically your getting 32 meals if it is for one person. In my
opinion that is not bad for 8 great meals that will last a long, long
time.<br />

Every year so many babies die by drowning. This video is amazing and shows how these accidents can be prevented.<br />
<br />
I feel this is important to share considering all the floods and hurricanes that have hit this United states in the last few years.<br />
<br />
As parents it is our responsibility to teach our children to survive in any given situation. That includes swimming.<br />
<br />
I encourage all parents to seek out someone in their area who is trained to teach your baby, toddler or child to swim and can help you teach them.<br />

I wondered for a long time how I could grow my own sweet potatoes. I knew that those little sprouts had something to do with growing more sweet potatoes!!!<br />
<br />
I came across yet another super easy tutorial with info-graphic on face book this morning that teaches us all how to do this very thing. So I thought I would share!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>How to make:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Take a sweet potato that has several eyes.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Stick
four or more toothpicks or shortened skewers into the middle of the
potato. Suspend the potato in a wide-mouth glass jar resting the
toothpicks on the glass rim to support the potato. Fill the jar with
water until it covers some of the eyes on the bottom of the potato.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Place the jar in an area with filtered light and watch the roots grow and the eyes sprout.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">When
the plant has developed a good root system and has grown at least three
leaves on each sprout, move it to a pot and cover the roots and the
potato with soil.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Clip
the ends of the vines when they reach eight to 10 inches long to
encourage a bushier plant. Fertilize the plant on a regular basis and
enjoy the beautiful results.</span></li>
</ul>

I like them for several reasons. The obvious first is to cuddle with my husband when we camp. I have also had reviews that this bag is good for a larger person as well. People often buy a sleeping bags and think they are covered. Unless you sleep in it though you do not know if you will fit in it or are comfortable in it. The downside to a two person sleeping bag is only one person carries it. (That could be a plus for us ladies though right? :) )<br />

Straight Razor: I am going to list two razors here and you can see the price difference yourself. After checking with several men I know who use the COl. Conk they say it is worth it to buy the more expensive one because that razor can last a life time and save you a lot of money yearly in replaceable blades from the store. We all know how expensive that can be. The first one I am listing is the entire shaving kit set and the more expensive of the two. It is a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PQZEHQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002PQZEHQ&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">Col.

I searched for this coffee cup to buy it for a few people I know (Mom!!) but failed to find it.<br />
<br />
I did however find a great deal on a white coffee cup and a marker. You can write on the cup and then bake it for a 30 minutes on 350F in the oven and it will be permanent. (Wait until it cools completely to handle or wash)<br />
<br />
You may be asking, "Where does the experiment come in?" I would LOVE,
for those of you who purchase this and make their own cup, to send me a
photo of your creations for publication here. (must be clean) I can just
imagine the art work some of you can create or some very funny
sayings/quotes. Or even a 4 cup series lol. Have one say SHTF; WROL;
BOB; BOL and so on. You get what I mean. :) <br />
<br />

<a href="http://ana-white.com/2012/11/plans/counter-height-garden-boxes-2-feet-x-4-feet" target="_blank">Ana White</a> has come up with some great plans for a counter high garden box for those of us who have trouble doing our gardening on the ground like we use to. I am very envious of these garden beds. They are absolutely GORGEOUS!! My husband is not going to be to happy about them though lol. Below are the plans to build your own.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><i>(Note: As suggested by a reader of mine who has already built these, she recommends that you come up with a drip system for watering because of the heat and to also make them deeper than 6 inches for optimal root growth.)</i></b></span><br />

Please read through the entire plan and all
comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review
the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build
safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of
imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square
after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws.
Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off
bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be
safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!</div>

I cut all pieces out and assembled the bed using one or two pin nails on
each side of the leg to hold together...I then used a hand drill to
drill the three or two holes(which ever you decide on) onto each side
piece only going through the the side piece and only marking the legs.
The leg holes really need to be drilled as straight as possible and at
the depth you need for your bolts. I used a drill press to make sure of
the depth and that the holes are very straight to except the thread
inserts.<br />
<br />
You can read the bit below for other info but I would definitely use the hand drill for marking the legs.<br />
<br />
Drill your three holes in the 1x8 pieces then place them against the 4x4
pieces in the location they need to be(I set up all the pieces and
number the legs and the boards and draw arrow for the top on the boards
for later reference then using one pin nail on each side to hold it all
together I mark where the holes will go on the legs) and using a center
punch hammer into each hole marking the 4x4 so you can drill the
corresponding holes. I used all 1/4-20 screws and I used E-Z LOK
threaded inserts instead of drilling all the way through the 4x4. I made
sure that I drilled the hole deep enough in the 4x4 so that when I
inserted the thread and bolted the sides on I would be able to screw
them on tight.</div>

It is that time of year again!! Fleas and ticks are starting to be reborn just to terrorize us and our beloved animals.<br />
<br />
However, there is good news!! You do not have to go broke treating your animals, yourself or your yard to repel these nasty boogers. You can make your own using natural ingredients at half the cost. Below are a few ways to keep the ticks off you, your pets and your yard.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014FLL8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00014FLL8&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Garlic;</span></span></b></a><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ticks HATE Garlic so as my <span style="font-size: small;">Grandmother and Ben Franklin use to say.... "<span style="font-size: small;">A</span>n ounce of prevention is greater than a <span style="font-size: small;">pound of cure.</span></span></span>"</span></span> Plant garlic in your yard, around your yard or anywhere you do not want the ticks to live. Not only will these deter them from your yard, you will also have fresh garlic when you need it. You can also eat raw garlic or take garlic tabs so it is in your blood. They can smell it and will not attach themselves to you if garlic is in your system. (Garlic tabs are safe for your dogs as well.</li>
</ul>
<b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EYSKQS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005EYSKQS&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">Neem Oil</a>;</b><br />
<ul>
<li>You can either use neem oil or soak neem leaves in hot water and then apply this on the skin. </li>
<li><i>For Pets;</i> Prepare a general flea and tick spray by mixing 2.5 ml (1/2 ounce) of organic neem oil<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">
</a> with 1-2 ml (1/4-1/2 ounce) of mild soap or detergent and 2
cups water. For a stronger solution if there is a problem or the dog
will be going into deep bug country, mix 5 ml neem oil, 2 ml mild soap
or detergent and 2 cups water. Use warm, not hot, water to
dissolve the oil. Mix water and soap first and then slowly add <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/neem.html">neem</a>
oil for flea and tick control. Add to sprayer and use immediately.
Discard after use. Neem oil is unstable and breaks down after 8 hours.
Mix new each time.</li>
<li>Place a few drops of neem oil on palms and simply rub hands through
your pet's fur for effective flea and tick control. Neem oil is best
used this way for dogs, only, not for cats. For sensitive dogs,
dilute the neem oil 1:10 in a light carrier oil like almond or jojoba
and rub palms first. Then run hands thoroughly through the dog's coat
for natural, effective flea and tick control.</li>
<li><b>Warnings</b><br />Caution is advised when using neem oil on
animals that are breeders or about to be bred. Use neem oil at half
strength for flea and tick control.<br />Do not treat cats with concentrated neem <b>oil</b> that is left on the skin. Using neem <b>leaf</b> tea is far safer for felines. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Tea Tree oil is a great repellent. Once mixed, you spray it on the skin or fur and rub in. I also make sure and pray it on our shoes and pant legs if we are going camping or into the woods so we don't carry home any piggy back riders.</li>
<li>To make; Mix two ounces of tea tree oil in water and pour it in a spray bottle. Spray this regularly on your skin.</li>
<li>You can also Spray your yard area with this mixture. </li>

<li>Lemon; Take 6 lemons and

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide&linkCode=ur2&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide">Hydrogen peroxide</a> is the only <a href="http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/germicide" target="_blank" title="An agent that kills germs, especially pathogenic microorganisms; a disinfectant">germicidal agent</a>
composed only of water and oxygen. Like ozone, it kills disease
organisms by oxidation! Hydrogen peroxide is considered the worlds
safest all natural effective sanitizer. It kills microorganisms by
oxidizing them, which can be best described as a controlled burning
process. When <a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a> reacts with organic material it breaks down into oxygen and water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Whiten Clothes – An Alternative to Beach</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Add a cup of Peroxide
to white clothes in your laundry to whiten them. Peroxide is great to
get rid of blood stains on clothes and carpets. If there is blood on
clothing, just pour directly on the spot, let it sit for about a minute,
then rub and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Health</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Your body makes <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide&linkCode=ur2&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide">Hydrogen peroxide</a> to
fight infection which must be present for our immune system to function
correctly. White blood cells are known as Leukocytes. A sub-class of
Leukocytes called Neutrophils produce hydrogen peroxide as the first
line of defense against toxins, parasites, bacteria, viruses and yeast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Rejuvenating Detoxifying Bath</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Use about 2 quarts <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> to a tub of warm water. Soak at least 1/2 hour, adding hot water as needed to maintain a comfortable water temperature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. Foot Fungus</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>To cure a foot fungus, simply spray a 50/50 mixture of <a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a> and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. Douche</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Add 2 capfuls of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> in warm distilled water once to twice a week to remove even chronic yeast infections.</div>

</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>6. Colonic or Enema</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>For a colonic, add 1
cup (8 ozs.) 3% H202 to 5 gallons warm water. (Do not exceed this
amount) For an enema, add 1 tablespoon of 3% H202 to a quart of warm
distilled water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>7. Infections</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Soak any infections or
cuts in 3% for five to ten minutes several times a day. Even gangrene
that would not heal with any medicine has been healed by soaking in <a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a>. Put half a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus or other skin infections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>8. Bird Mites Infections</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Patients infected by
tiny mites report that hydrogen peroxide effectively kills the mites on
their skins. They spray it on their skin a couple of times (with a few
minutes in between the applications) with amazing results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>9. Sinus Infections</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>A tablespoon of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> added
to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water can be used as a nasal spray.
Depending on the degree of sinus involvement, one will have to adjust
the amount of peroxide used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>10. Wound Care</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>3% H2O2 is used
medically for cleaning wounds, removing dead tissue, and as an oral
debriding agent. Peroxide stops slow (small
vessel) wound bleeding/oozing, as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some sources recommend soaking
infections or cuts for five to ten minutes several times a day. However,
washing and rinsing action is sufficient. You shouldn’t leave the
solution on open tissue for extended periods of time as, like many
oxidative antiseptics, <a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a> causes mild damage to tissue in open wounds. Therefore it is important to use with caution.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Personal Care</b></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Mouthwash / Tooth Care</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Healing
Properties: Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the
bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out.
You will not have canker sores and your teeth will be whiter. If you
have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a
capful of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> into your mouth and hold it for 10 minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>11. Mouthwash</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many people don’t realize that hydrogen
peroxide makes a very effective and inexpensive mouthwash. Use 3% H202 –
add a dash of liquid chlorophyll for flavoring if desired.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>12. Toothpaste</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Use baking soda and add enough 3% H202 to make a paste.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>13. Toothbrush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or, just dip your brush in 3% H202 and brush. Soak your toothbrush in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide&linkCode=ur2&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide">Hydrogen peroxide</a> to keep them free of germs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>14. Tooth Ache</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a> is
not a pain killer; however, as an anti-viral, antibacterial and
anti-fungal agent, it is effective at treating the pathogen that is
causing the infection. The following is from my own personal experience:
My dentist wanted to give me a root canal some time ago as one tooth
was inflamed and, in her opinion, would die. I felt some discomfort but
told her that I would give it chance to heal. I rinsed with hydrogen
peroxide (several times a day) as well ascoconut oil (once a day). The
discomfort went away and I have had no further problems with the tooth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>15. Tooth Whitening</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a>
as a mouth wash for sometime ago, I am thrilled to note that my teeth
have been beautifully and effortlessly whitened. I used to pay so much
for professional whitening, those silly strips and uncomfortable trays.
Live and learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>NOTE: Do not swallow any peroxide. When the peroxide rinse is done, be sure to rinse out your mouth with water.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>16. Hair Lightening</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Peroxide is a bleaching agent and is used for lightened hair. Dilute <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> with
water (50 / 50) and spray the solution on your wet hair after a shower
and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair
like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a
light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so
it’s not a drastic change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>17. Contact Lenses</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b><a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a> is
used as a disinfectant in CIBA Vision’s Clear Care no rub contact lens
cleaning solution, due to its ability to break down the proteins that
build up on the lense from the eye’s immune response, resulting in
increased comfort for those with sensitive eyes.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sanitizing / Disinfectant / Cleaning</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>18. Straight or Diluted Hydrogen Perioxide</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clean your counters and table tops with
hydrogen peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a
little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters. Use
hydrogen peroxide to clean glass and mirrors with no smearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep a spray bottle of 3% (straight) to disinfect the interior of the refrigerator and kids’ school lunch boxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>19. In the Dishwasher</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Add 2 oz. of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> to your regular washing formula.</div>

water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your
septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will. After
rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour or spray hydrogen peroxide
(and then vinegar) on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, there is no smearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combination of vinegar and hydrogen
peroxide make a cheap, effective and non-toxic disinfectant agent and is
said to be more effective at killing pathogens than bleach. As it is
non-toxic, you can use it to disinfect fruits and vegetables, as well as
pet toys, equipment and cages. In tests run at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, pairing Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide
mists, <b>kills virtually all Salmonella, Shigella, or E. coli bacteria on heavily contaminated food and surfaces.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Directions</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>You need TWO spray bottles. DO NOT MIX the solutions together. Put straight vinegar in one and straight <a class="broken_link" href="http://e5b5fbhb3gr3ip3u1vuztv3sab.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="101 Hydrogen Peroxide uses for the home">Hydrogen peroxide</a> in the other spray bottle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>NOTE:</b> Light destroys
peroxide rather quickly. It’s best to leave it in its original bottle
and screw in a spray head. DO NOT DILUTE THEM.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember for any sanitizer to work properly, the surface has to be clean before you use it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you want to sanitize a surface
(vegetables, cutting board, counters, sink, cages, toys. toilets,
floors, etc.), spray one (it doesn’t matter which one you use first) on
the surface, then you spray on the other. When they mix, for a brief
time the chemical action of the two make a very powerful sanitizer. You
can rinse off the surface afterwards, if you want, but the result is
non-toxic.<br />
Fortunately it is cheap. BTW, we use it in the bathroom to sanitize the counters, toilets, floors, etc.</div>

the best stain lifter if used fairly soon – although blood stains as
old as 2 days have been successfully lifted with Hydrogen Peroxide.
Although it will bleach or discolor many fabrics. If a little peroxide
is poured onto the stain it will bubble up in the area of the blood, due
to a reaction with catalase. After a few minutes the excess liquid can
be wiped up with a cloth or paper towel and the stain will be gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3% H2O2 must be applied to clothing
before blood stains can be accidentally “set” with heated water. Cold
water and soap are then used to remove the peroxide treated blood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>23. Washing/Laundry</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>You can also add a cup
of hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your
laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on
the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with
cold water. Repeat if necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peroxide is a perfect alternate solution
to keep those clothes white. Also, when chlorinating clothes, they tend
to wear out faster – peroxide won’t do that.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Food Preparation</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>24. Vegetable Soak</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Use as a vegetable wash
or soak to kill bacteria and neutralize chemicals. Add 1/4 cup 3% H202
to a full sink of cold water. Soak light skinned (light lettuce) 20
minutes, thicker skinned (like cucumbers) 30 minutes. Drain, dry and
refrigerate. Prolongs freshness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If time is a problem, spray vegetables (and fruits) with a solution of 3%. Let stand for a few minutes, rinse and dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>25.</b> <b>Meat Sanitizing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>You can also use it to rinse off your meat before cooking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>26. Leftover tossed salad</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Spray with a solution of 1/2 cup water and 1 Tbsp. 5%. Drain, cover and refrigerate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>27. Marinade</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Place meat, fish or
poultry in a casserole (avoid using aluminium pans). Cover with a dilute
solution of equal parts of water and 3% H202. Place loosely covered in
refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Rinse and cook.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>28. Sprouting Seeds</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b>Add 1 ounce <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&field-keywords=Food%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AFood%20Grade%20hydrogen%20peroxide%203%25&tag=spir02-20&url=search-alias%3Daps" target="_blank" title="3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Food Grade">3% Hydrogen peroxide</a> to 1 pint of water and soak the seeds overnight. Add the same amount of hydrogen peroxide each time you rinse the seeds.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Grades of Hydrogen Peroxide</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A)</b> 3.5% Pharmaceutical
Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore or supermarket.
This product is not recommended for internal use. It contains an
assortment of stabilizers which shouldn’t be ingested. Various
stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and
tertrasodium phosphate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>B) </b>6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is not recommended for internal use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>C)</b> 30% Reagent Grade:
This is used for various scientific experimentation and also contains
stabilizers. It is also not for internal use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>D)</b> 30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and not for internal use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>E)</b> 35% Technical Grade:
This is a more concentrated product than the Reagent Grade and differs
slightly in that phosphorus is added to help neutralize any chlorine
from the water used to dilute it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>F)</b> 35% Food Grade: This
is used in the production of foods like cheese, eggs, and
whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil lining of
aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS THE
ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>G)</b> 90%: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. <b>At
this concentration, however, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong
oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or
even fatal.</b> Any concentrations over 10% can cause neurological
reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There have
been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40%
concentrations of H202. Another reports tells of a 26 month old female
who swallowed one mouthful of 35% H202. She immediately began vomiting,
followed by fainting and respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under
emergency room care and although she experienced erosion and bleeding of
the stomach and esophagus, she survived the incident. When she was
re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol Clin
Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).</div>

One of the most convenient methods of dispensing 35%
H202 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at
your local drugstore. Fill this with the 35% H202 and store the larger
container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until more is
needed. Store the eye dropper bottle in the refrigerator. The drops are
mixed with either 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water, juice, aloe vera
juice or gel.</div>

<span class="text_exposed_show">Skip the chemicals and the added cost of expensive mosquito traps this year and DIY!!! I was very surprised at how easy this solution is. Around our house we have <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZPCEBG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007ZPCEBG&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">citronella plants</a> to keep the little buggers away and we do not have a problem with mosquito's. However, while camping we cannot take our plants with us so this is a great alternative for the season!!<br /> <br /> HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP:<br /> <br /> Items needed:<br /> <br /> 1 cup of water <br /> 1/4 cup of brown sugar</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">1/4 teaspoon of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M42GJI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004M42GJI&linkCode=as2&tag=ameripreppnet-20" target="_blank">yeast</a> </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">2 liter soda bottle<br /> <br /> HOW:</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> 1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> 2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> 3. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> 4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if desired.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and
place it outside in an area away from your normal gathering area.
(Mosquitoes are also drawn to the color black.)<br /> <br /> Change the solution every 2 weeks for continuous control.</span><br />
