Working with what you can gather

Apologize to all you readers out there, but it was Christmas time. At that time of the year, all the zombies get festive too and want to enjoy themselves too. So since it's Christmas, one of the hardest thing to do ISN'T figuring out what to buy your girlfriend or boyfriend because, lets be honest, they are probably already a zombie. No the hardest thing to do is Run. Plain and simple, Run. In cold weather as most of us know, the bitter air constricts the amount of air we pull into our lung, making escape just that much more difficult. Now imagine for a moment those who may have a breathing disorder or an illness that is impairing them already. Breathing is going to be close to impossible. After the zombies rise, breathing meds that this world has come to use will become rare and valuable commodities to those who can find them or have them. For those less fortunate, which I am sad to say will be most of us, there are herbal alternatives that, once obtained, will be a valued alternatives. For the next few postings, I will discuss different alternatives that people can use to better manage their symptoms. I will start out with the breathing disorder; Asthma. Symptoms of asthma include: difficulty breathing, wheezing(especially on breathing out), an increase in pulse rate, a persistent dry cough, and a sensation of tightness around the chest. Treatments and Possible Treatments for asthma include: Ingesting Ginger, Almonds, Ephedra, Grindelia, Hyssop, Wild Cherry Bark, and Motherwort. Oils that can be inhaled while using warm steam: Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Pine, Bergamot, Clary Sage, Neroli, And Rose. Also, as a means of controlling asthma, the ingestion of vitamin B6. Now while B6 can be obtained in pill form, it can also be found in certain types of foods. Such foods include: liver, lean meats, fish, poultry, legumes; green leafy vegetables, baked potatoes and bananas. As a disclaimer for this information, before trying any of these treatments, it would be good to consult a doctor to see if there would be any side-effects, and if so, what they would be. Keep in mind, during a zombie apocalypse, finding a doctor with a pulse who hasn't gone insane will be a little difficult. So get checked out before the zombies rise.

So til next time, keep your guns loaded, keep your pack ready, keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, and keep alert.
