Medical Preps For SHTF | episode 264
When preparing for a potential SHTF scenario, one crucial area that’s often overlooked is medical preparedness. Having enough medication and supplies to manage health conditions is essential, as access to pharmacies and healthcare might be limited or nonexistent. Here are some key tips for building up your medical preps.
Talk to Your Doctor About Getting Extra Medication
One of the best ways to prepare is by discussing your concerns with your doctor. Ask them about getting extra prescriptions for essential medications, explaining that you want to be prepared for emergencies. However, some doctors are willing to prescribe an extra month’s supply, especially if you have a stable, long-term condition. This will give you a buffer if you’re unable to refill your prescriptions during a crisis.
Lose Weight to Get Off Medications
Moreover, for those who are on medication for conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, losing weight can be a game-changer. Improving your health through diet and exercise may help you reduce or even eliminate the need for certain medications, making you less dependent on external supplies. Not only will this improve your overall health, but it will also reduce the number of medications you need to stockpile.
Consider Online Stores Like Jase Medical for Antibiotics
For example, there are also online resources to help you build your medical preps. For example, stores like Jase Medical offer emergency antibiotic kits that can be purchased legally and delivered directly to your home. These kits include common antibiotics that can be used to treat a variety of infections, providing peace of mind if you can’t access a doctor. While antibiotics are powerful tools, it’s important to use them responsibly and consult a healthcare professional on how and when to use them.
Above all, proper medical preparedness requires a combination of planning, lifestyle changes, and smart shopping. Start today to ensure you and your family are ready for whatever comes your way.
