Okay, maybe I'm a little obsessive, but I must make a confession here. While I was mildly interested in checking out CS and other "home" remedies I could do myself, our health is pretty good at this time, so I was moving at a pretty slow pace.
Until September 11. As those towers were coming down in NYC, I was driving into Chicago with the radio on, with the Sears Tower in my windshield the whole way. As the morning progressed, we had a lot of reports that there were still planes missing, and on flight patterns that would take them over Chicago.... The way I cope with stress best in cases like this is to make an assessment of my personal risks, figure out all the possible scenarios that may threaten me personally, and work out plans for what we'd do IF..... In our case, risk assessment includes job sites within spitting distance of many high-profile locations in Chicago, home two blocks from a railroad track that regularly transports freight (including toxic/hazardous), a fuel storage facility between us and the nearest expressway entrance, and several nuclear plants and nuclear waste storage facilities "upwind" of us. Not to mention I had no idea how close we were to several "charities" that have been implicated in Al Qaeda. That guy that was arrested a couple of weeks ago? I drive right past his office building and apartment all the time. In putting together our personal survival gear, I decided to speed up my learn ing curve on alternative remedies to combat various potential problems. Have stocked sufficient Potassium Iodide, and am slowly putting together our personal "natural" first aid kit. Tea Tree Oil, H2O2, Oil of Oregano, garlic, and so on. In my view, these are all things I was slowly working on anyway. I've just factored in the potential of an imminent threat, and have decided to work gradually towards total self-control over life-preserving matters like water quality, food supply, etc. I've even learned to sprout, with good success (besides, it's healthier for us!) As I've spent time on this list, it would seem that many others are out there who are far ahead of me on the self-sufficiency line. If this topic is appropriate for this list, I'd love to hear if others are doing anything, or be referred to a forum where this topic may be discussed more. Thanks!
