Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 167, "The Top Five Antibiotics To Fight The Most Common Infections."

Antibiotics will be critical in long-term SHTF situations.

The info is shared from www.foodstoragemoms.com. Linda Loosil, author. 

DISCLAIMER: Ms. Loosil is not a doctor or nurse, but has implemented medical info and advice from her own physician, and has researched numerous medical peer-reviewed articles.

TOP 5 ANTIBIOTICS, and what they affect:

1. AMOXICILLIN -- strep throat, dental infections, sinus infections, bronchitis  bladder infections
2. CEPHALEXIN (KEFLEX) -- skin/staph infections, bladder, bronchitis, sty, chronic conditions
3. CIPROFLOXACIN (CIPRO) -- bladder  inhaled anthrax
4. LEVOFLOXACIN (LEVAQUIN) -- pneumonia, diverticulitis, severe sinus infections
5. AZITHROMYCIN (Z-PACK) -- strep, sinus, bronchitis, tonsilitis

Ms. Loosil's doctor allows her to purchase antibiotics directly from his office at a significant savings, and can be dispensed I  a 90-day supply. Her doctor stated that most prescription antibiotics are effective 5-10 YEARS after their expiration dates.

Again, antibiotics will be critical in long-term SHTF situations. We need to include them in out medical plan and our preps.
