Monday Movie - ASTEROID Will Hit Earth in near Future 2015 "Doomsday Rock"

This one hour program tells the story of a team of scientists who believe and intend to prove that the world's largest environmental disaster, the asteroid, is entirely possible.

It shot from a hot white sky with absolutely no warning. On Friday, June 14, 2002, an asteroid the size of a football field made one of the closest ever recorded approaches to Earth. Traveling at more than 10km/second, it brushed past Earth completely unseen, at a distance of 120,000km, less than a third of the distance to the Moon. Had it hit the Earth it could have devastation on a scale similar to that of the asteroid impact in Tunguska, Siberia in 1908, when 2000 square km of forest were flattened in a matter of seconds. Had that chunk of space debris hit Moscow or Hong Kong instead, the loss of life would have been staggering. This one hour program tells the story of a multi-national team of scientists who believe and intend to prove that the world's largest environmental disaster is entirely possible.

Many Ways to Stop Bleeding (or fix big boo boo's)

Lets first start with.... if the wound is really large you need to go to the doctors or find medical help.

-If it is a wound you can handle or have no choice but to handle the first thing you need to   do is clean the wound the best you can.

-Try holding the wound closed and see if butterflying it with a bandage or tape does the trick..and elevate it if you can to.

If this does not work then here are a few things that have worked.  

**Many astringent herbs when applied externally to stop bleeding are called styptics or anti-hemorrhagic for internal bleeding.


To start with here are  a few things that you can use 

Acorn meal -  Aloe Vera -   - Cinnamon powder  - Geranium - Goldenrod root powder  - Horsetail  - Lady’s Mantle  - Marigolds  - Mugwart Dry  - Oak Bark powdered  -  - Paprika  - Pine sap  - Plantain crushed  - Shepherd's Purse  - Stinging Nettle  - White Vinegar -  Witch Hazel


Here are a few more:

Black Pepper
We'll start with the popular black pepper. This only works on small and medium wounds. Black pepper is an antibacterial. It is known to help blood coagulate. This can stop bleeding. In fact it was used for just this purpose before our modern styptics came along. Chefs still use it.

You would pour a good amount on the wound, apply pressure or a tight bandage and the bleeding should stop fast.

Cayenne Pepper

Lets talk about Cayenne Pepper, . And a tea reduce internal bleeding, One teaspoon in a cup of water (only do this if it is a SHTF situation!)
A wound, external or internal, will stop bleeding if the individual drinks a cup of water (preferably hot) with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper (red pepper) stirred into it. The bleeding will stop generally by the time a person can count up to ten after drinking the cayenne tea. The cayenne equalizes the blood pressure from the top of the head to the feet. This keeps the pressure from the hemorrhage area so it will clot naturally, which it cannot do with heavy blood pressure pumping the blood rapidly at the hemorrhage area.

Honey!! 

Of coarse! Wrap a small wound with honey and yep it will stop it from bleeding. And the kicker is that the wound mixed with honey actually creates a form of hydrogen peroxide!
But mix honey and Cayenne Pepper for larger wound and it may just surprise you how fast it stops bleeding.  

Finely ground clean moss
I stress clean. Some moss's are better than others.
Dry moss finely ground will stop bleeding and some moss even has a form of penicillin in it. If you do not or can find dry moss to grind. The top part of the moss can be placed on the wound and wrapped it will stop bleeding and help keep the wound clean. 

Ash
Is a great wound healer, it is sterilize because of the heat that creates it. It will also disinfect the wound.  Remember lye is made from ash. 

 Turmeric does the same, but personally I do not have this in my herbal medical stash. 

  Yarrow 

 "The nosebleed herb" got its name for that very reason the leaves act like an astringent swab. But for wounds you just crush the leaves and same as above apply pressure till it stops bleeding. ( I have tons of yarrow....just cuz it is pretty and grows like crazy.)

Echinacea
Purple coneflower  and other species of echinacea has been used for at least 400 years by Native Americans to treat infections and wounds.

Salt

Next my moms favorite boo boo fix. Salt!!  When we had a cut my mom would take us to the beach and have us stay in the water....it helped heal them faster and kept them from getting infected.  But right now we are talking wound care. Soaking a small wound in salt water will stop the bleeding and help heal it.
I am a big fan of salt. It really does heal, and it heals fast. Also keeps infections at bay.

Garlic power

YAAAA ohhhhh...Can't forget about da garlic! Garlic power is the real deal, same as above apply to the wound and then apply pressure. (I grew up in little Italy so garlic HEALS EVERYTHING! kinda like salt does).  

Flour or Cornstarch 
You just  place on a wound and it will stop it from bleeding. They will basically absorb the blood and stop the bleeding

Coffee

Next is gram's trick, coffee. Never really bought into that one. But while doing my research it appears others say it works to. Just apply the grinds to the wound (the finer the better). 
She has to be sending me the the "I told ya so vibe right now".

absorbs all the moisture and blocks the blood from coming out of the infected area. - See more at: http://www.findhomeremedy.com/the-12-fast-and-effective-home-remedies-for-bleeding/#sthash.xOTeGxaf.dpuf

Tea Bags

They say tea bags...but I have tried it on a small cut and it did not work...I of course grabbed the salt water and bam...I was good.

Glass

Ok now we go a little astray ....Glass,  yes glass. Not broken glass but a bottle or a window. Glass is known for electro-negatively charged surface. It helps in the stopping the blood by activating the clotting process of the blood vessels.  Ok I have done this...not because I thought it would stop the bleeding but because it was cool and took some of the pain away..and the bleeding did stop...did the glass do it? I don't know.

Cattail pollen 

You can put the pollen on the wound and or drink in cold water.  Or the ash from the leaves will stop bleeding. This will help stop bleeding and bonus to this plant is that there in a numbering agent that grows on the plant to. Click here  to learn about the plant and what part of the plant the numbing agent is.

Spider Web

Ok and I read about the spider web..and saw it on duel survival...well not sure how or if there are webs available that are big enough for most wounds. But hey ya never know.

Chapstick, or vasaline.
If you put that on a small cut it will immediately stop bleeding bythe time it rubs off the cut will have stopped bleeding. For small wounds.

Crazy Glue
 Dermatologists and urgent care physicians use this why shouldn't you? What they use is called Dermabond. (it is almost the same but it is a little more flexible).  this is for cuts and gashes not full open wounds.







The perfect song for this post is  Garbage - Bleed Like Me

Do you have the Prepper mindset?

If something happened are you ready to handle
 it mentally and physically??

Here are a few important things that can keep you alive.

Always be prepared for the worst (everywhere you go)

My friends call me a worry wart. I am not.  I am a person that likes to expect the unexpected.  If traveling I learn the route. I learn were places are in the city I am at. PD, FD, and even a place to use as shelter. Where are the food warehouses even.  I always have a bugout bag. And the list goes on. They say that I am stressing over nothing. Again it is not stressing,  it is making sure I am ready for the just in case.  And once you get in the habit of doing it, it takes no time at all for the extra effort.
AND MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS HAVE YOUR GO BAG WITH YOU! If you can not then at the least have some basics on your person. (even if it is an Altoids kit )

But there is a such a thing as  real fear

The key to fear is managing it....that simple. Ok not simple but it can be done. This is when you have a situation….and you are really scared!!  This can be a good thing… adrenaline kicks in and so do your human instincts.  If you have done the above….you are ready to roll with it. Let your instincts do the driving. I grew up in the city so I have a thick skin. So I can handle most things (except clowns).

PDF with some ideas on how to get over come fears  Click Here (a little corny but it works)

 

Real Fear has taken over and you can not seem to shack it

You can always have that fear factor that stops you dead in your tracks. You can NOT let this happen.  Learning to SUCK IT UP (as my dad use to say) it is a skill.  You learn it in sports and in public situations where you are the focus.  If you feel you are a person that can not handle public situations now is the time to try to put yourself in them. Get use to being out on that limb. This will help you avoid the fear factor that can mean life or death.

Learn how to control your reactions 

This is a very important skill if a disaster happens. I know at the time of the event it may not be so easy…but you have to learn to take that deep breath and THINK!

KNOW your surroundings 
This is kinda the same as always be prepared 

No matter where I am , I always give the place a good look around. Hotels, partys, even the grocery store . Know all the exits in any building you go into. Know where the fire extinguishers are, Windows, do they open?

 If it is out doors…take a look at a Google map even print one out so you have it just in case you get lost.  Even go as far as to learn some of the local edibles.  These are simple things that can make all the difference.

Take the situation seriously!

To many times people think, it will be ok. No big deal. And it just may be no big deal. Look at Storm Sandi. It took so many people off guard even though they were doing warnings on the TV days ahead of it. And many were unprepared.  Even in a building situations people will wait to be told what to do? They will have their cell phones out taking video ect.  We have seen this in building disasters. (and I get having to follow the rules so that there is not a stampede effect) but at the moment that you know something is going wrong, you are the only person that is in charge of how you react. And if they say go to this location FEMA has set up a camp......think really hard if you really want to do that.

 

Health

Health, I realize some people may not be the most fit or healthiest. But working on that now can save your life. Go to the doctors, take care of anything you may have been putting off. Minor surgery, ect.  And take a few moments everyday to push yourself to do that one more step...weather you are super healthy and need to add a mile to a run, or if you are unhealthy or medically challenged and go up those few extra stairs.  The idea is to learn to push yourself, so when the time comes you will have that mindset already at work.  Any direction forward is a good thing. Maybe even cut one cup of coffee out, or that regular snack. The healthier you are the better off you will be.

Surviving on the go

I to often  here preppers saying I will be fine, I have a stockpile and this and that. That is great but reality is if you have to run or get caught in a place where you can not make it home could you live of the land?  I take this one the most seriously. Because if something happens I will be running as far away from fema help and take my chances on my own. Learning how to recognize wild edibles, how to hunt for small animals, make shelters and defend yourself are going to be the most important skills you will have ever learned. Learning to find things like an alternators to make wind power...could you do that? siphoning gas? Making weapons to defend yourself?  These are all things we should have some basic understanding about.

I Have a good list of how to pdf Here

Worth learning from them or printing them out and keeping them in a binder

or downloading them on some thumb drive to at least have them if you need them.

Sorry in advance for this song :) but how could I not choose it.
