Rural and onsite Therapeutics
There are many common chemicals that can be used as medicines in an emergency or care of the sick in remote areas. These chemcials generally do not degrade over time and are bacteriostatic.
This kit can be kept for emergencies, used for rural missions and the like.
• Iodine tincture and Lugol's solution are universal healing agents, acting as antibiotics, antifungal agents both topically and internally. How a simple bottle of tincture of iodine or Lugo'ls can be used for the diagnosis of cervical dysplasia, iodine deficiency, onset of menopause, and precancerous skin lesions only foretells its wonders. It will also treat warts, herpes, hemorrhoids, UTI's, bronchitis, and hangnails.
• Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in use as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most studied but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time. DMSO perhaps has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70 percent DMSO, 30 percent water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers. DMSO reduces inflammation by several mechanisms. It is an antioxidant, a scavenger of the free radicals that gather at the site of injury. It can be used it for all sorts of inflammatory conditions in the Bush, from people with rheumatoid arthritis to people with chronic low back inflammatory-type symptoms, silicon immune toxicity syndromes, any kind of autoimmune process. It was inevitable that DMSO, with its pain-relieving, collagen-softening, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, would be employed against arthritis, fibromyalgia, and fasciitis.
• Low potency homeopathic dilutions of Schussler and other salts should elicit a taste for those in which the mineral is in balance. In deficiency, the taste buds are rendered mute. The same solution which is used to test the deficiency is the general potency to be administered until the tissue requirements have been fulfilled and the taste of the salt returns. Then it becomes one worth their salt!
• Coconut water can be used for a variety of medical purposes, one of which is intravenous rehydration. In the Vietnam war the use of coconut juice as a substitute for blood plasma was used by Vietnamese soldiers on both sides.She told me when they expected a big battle, they would gather coconuts in preparation for medical use. [Note: Coconut water can't actually replace blood plasma; chemical analysis indicates it's closer in makeup to intracellular fluid. It's usually sterile, and when mixed with plasma it behaves like saline solution. It's got fewer electrolytes in it than our blood andtoo much potassium, so it's not an ideal rehydration fluid. But it works in an emergency. In the second world war the navy used sea water for intravenous drip for soldiers when blood bags were not available.]
• Ascorbic acid has many important biological functions. It is a powerful oxidizer and when given in massive amounts; that is, 50 to 150 grams, intravenously, for certain pathological conditions, and "run in" as fast as a 20 Gauge needle will allow, it acts as a "Flash Oxidizer," often correcting the pathology within minutes. Ascorbic acid is also a powerful reducing agent. Its neutralizing action on certain toxins, exotoxins, virus infections, endotoxins and histamine is in direct proportion to the amount of the pathologic factor involved and the amount of ascorbic acid given. At times it is necessary to use ascorbic acid intramuscularly. From burns to snake bite, this carbohydrate can save lives.
• Methylene Blue: It has been used as a genitourinary antiseptic in cystitis and urethritis both by internal administration and by irrigation; other bacteriostatic and bactericidal agents have unfortunately replaced it for this purpose. It also rids the sytem of carbon monoxide, viruses, and kidney stones.
• Boric Acid: Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in dressings or salves. Boric acid is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash in a 1.5% solution (1 tbsp per quart or 15 cm3 per L) of sterilized water. Boric acid eye wash, typically administered using an eye cup, relieves the eyes after they become irritated from long periods of swimming in the chlorinated water of a swimming pool. s an anti-bacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. Boric acid can be used to treat yeast and fungal infections such as candidiasis (vaginal yeast infections) by inserting a vaginal pessary containing 600 mg of boric acid daily for 14 days[14] or for yeast infection of the male pubic region (jock-itch or strong genital odor) by applying the powder to the skin all over the pubic region for several days to a week. It is also used as prevention of athlete's foot, by inserting powder in the socks or stockings, and in solution can be used to treat some kinds of otitis externa (ear infection) in both humans and animals.
• Diatomaceous Earth: In today's world there are many forms of disease, many of which are well documented, researched and acknowledged. However, there is one plague currently infecting over 80% of people around the world that receives little or no attention in today's medical society - the one of parasites and parasitic infections. No one is immune to the scourge of parasites. There is no finer and simple treatment than DE.
• Sodium chlorite: Acidified sodium chlorite is being used in many countries, including Australia and the USA, as an antimicrobial treatment in the food industry, for water purification, and for sterilizing hospital and clinic rooms and equipment. Curiously, stabilized sodium chlorite that does not generate chlorine dioxide has been patented for intravenous use in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, hepatitis and lymph cancers. It supposedly prevents or reduces antigen activity and autoimmune responses.
