Machete Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 In my research, a hunter/gatherer lifestyle would eliminate diabetes just based on daily nutrient intake... :-) What about Type 1?

Guzzi Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Disinfectants are easy and cheap (stash a lot of high proof vodka for multiple uses).No no no no no!!!!!!! Wounds can be cauterised. You do NOT waste a precious resource like vodka. 4 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Boiled water, soap, salt, and cleanliness of wound and treating hands, should stave off unwanted bugs. And Vodka! Vodka cures everything! 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Robpocalypse Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 No no no no no!!!!!!! Wounds can be cauterised. You do NOT waste a precious resource like vodka. Good point, but the population of my apocalypse compound would dwindle pretty quickly if anytime someone scrapped their finger I started chasing them with a flaming hot poker.I mean, there will probably be a wasteland election in my survival fortress at some point and I don't want to loose to the guy passing out freeze dried spaceman icecream because I'm cauterizing minor wounds with with a license plate from the campfire. 4 Quote Link to comment
insanity Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 No no no no no!!!!!!! Wounds can be cauterised. You do NOT waste a precious resource like vodka. Honey, Black Pepper, Licking it, Peroxide.... The benefit to stocking up on Vodka though, is if you don't need any of the meds, then you can't drink what you have...What about Type 1?Type 1 seems to be genetic, with an environmental trigger. From what I can see, we don't know what this trigger is... but given that type 1 is appears to be less common in people who were breast fed as babies, it's possible that nutrition may be involved. 1 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

SevenofSeven Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 We may need a beekeeper too, honey is great for infection. Also for allergies, if you use honey made in your locality, it can help elevate hay fever and other allergy symptoms. 4 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

The Stranger Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 We'll also need a brewer/distiller, potter, tanner/leatherworker, numerous hunters, and all manner of skills that haven't been in vogue for about 300 years (coopers, cobblers, millers, thatchers, etc). Maybe a geologist, unless we're just going to cannibalize old cars for all our metal. OTOH, all the easy-to-find ore has been mined, so we might be SOL there. 1 Quote Level 2 Assassin There's a Stranger in TownThe Stranger 2:Electric Boogaloo Link to comment

Also for allergies, if you use honey made in your locality, it can help elevate hay fever and other allergy symptoms. I think you mean "alleviate". I don't want anything to elevate my damn allergies!

You forgot one: me! All kidding aside, I do fall into the "Tech-savvy" pool, being that I have a degree in automotive and have spent most of my life rebuilding cars, and I just like building crap in general. 2 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
