Now how can the government say Preppers are terrorists when they do the same thing?!
Yet you look at all these huge numbers and it is hard to believe that
isn't going to be enough. Take that as a hint to all you preppers
No matter what you stockpile I just don't know if it can ever be ENOUGH.
With a pause in the news coverage and the good news of a hopefully not temporary time of no more Ebola patients the good news for any prepper is that this pause in the transmission of Ebola and the national media coverage provides a "free pass" opportunity to acquire more medical preparedness supplies
that were heading toward severe shortages. Bleach should be near the
top of your list, followed by medical isolation equipment such as latex
gloves, Tyvek body suits with hoods, goggles, shoe covers, medical masks
or full-face respirators, and so on.

Governments of USA and Liberia using opportunity to stockpile medical supplies
The
federal government is using this opportunity to aggressively stockpile
precisely these same supplies. A solicitation posted on October 14 at
FedBizOpps.gov is requesting vendors who can provide four-year supply
contracts for
"PPE products identical or equivalent to Life Science SMS
Lab Coats,
Polypropylene Coveralls,
SMS Coveralls,
Suntech Microporous
Film Coveralls,
Non-Skid/Water Resistant shoe covers,
Guardian
Nitrile Gloves,
Rhino Shield Latex Medical Grade Gloves." [2]
Similarly,
Liberia is also actively taking steps to stock up on critical supplies.
An official document entitled "Liberia Ebola SitRep No. 148," authored
by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, reveals that Liberia urgently needs 80,000 more body bags and a long list of other essential medical items: [3]
• 98,000 Kg of chlorine powder
• 990,000 hooded body suits
• 140,000 plastic buckets
• 2.4 million sets of examination gloves
• 1.4 million N95 face masks
• Over 500,000 goggles
• 590,000 sets of heavy duty plastic gloves
• 174,000 rubber boots
• 210,000 hand sprayers
• 4,800 backpack sprayers
• 3,200 mattresses

The Ebola virus outbreak is spreading rapidly
(NaturalHealth365)
The news about Ebola continues to be bad. The reported death toll has
passed 4,000, with just about all of the cases coming from Liberia,
Sierra Leone and Guinea. This past Friday, David Nabarro, the U.N.
special envoy for Ebola, said ‘the number of Ebola cases is probably
doubling every three-to-four weeks and the response needs to be 20 times
greater than it was at the beginning.’As the death toll from the Ebola virus continues to rise and the disease spreads, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within the Department of Homeland Security are attempting to implement stricter measures to protect Americans from getting ill.
Will new airport screening procedures actually protect us from Ebola?
Starting today, at John F. Kennedy International airport, employees will be checking the temperature of travelers arriving from the most affected countries in Africa. Throughout the week, these check points will be conducted at Newark Liberty, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta. According to Customs officials, ‘about 150 people travel daily from or through Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea to the United States, and nearly 95 percent of them land first at one of the five airports.But, what happens if you’re cleared for travel and two days later you develop symptoms? How does this ‘stepped up’ screening procedure really help to eliminate the threat of Ebola? Maybe those people in charge of public health should read about a “surprising solutions for Ebola“?
Don’t laugh: The CDC and CBP think that ‘new’ screening procedures will prevent the spread of Ebola
According to Secretary of Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson, “These expanded screening measures will provide an additional layer of protection to help ensure the risk of Ebola in the United States is minimized.”But, as admitted by most media outlets already, the case of Thomas Eric Duncan would NOT have been prevented with these extra ‘security’ measures because Mr. Duncan had no symptoms when he arrived in the United States. Which begs the question – ‘what can we really do to eliminate the spread of Ebola?’
We already have nutritional protocols designed to eliminate the threat of infectious diseases
Some people, on the internet, suggest that this entire ‘Ebola panic’ is being orchestrated (and staged) to depopulate the Earth and/or profit off human suffering by eventually forcing millions of people to take a vaccine, which is monopolized by the pharmaceutical industry. Either way, the sad truth is there are already proven strategies to prevent the spread of infectious diseases – which are being ignored by poorly-educated, government-controlled health officials.In fact, I started to talk about this in a recent article entitled, “Five facts about Ebola suppressed by mainstream media outlets”.
You may already know intuitively that you’re less susceptible to infectious diseases when you’re well-nourished. Meeting your daily requirements for protein, iron, zinc, vitamin C, and essential minerals will allow your immune system to effectively manage cellular inflammation and minimize the risk of bacterial (or viral) infections.
If you want proof, about the power of nutrition to prevent, even reverse disease symptoms, just look up the work of Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, DM (P), Andrew Saul, Ph.D. and Thomas E. Levy, M.D. – just to name a few pioneers, in the field of science and medicine. These health experts could offer so much great advice to the leaders of those West African nations – if only they knew to ask.
For example, the “multi-C protocol” would be a great way to neutralize the threat of any bacterial or viral infection. I only hope one of the doctors in Africa can help us to spread the news.
Reduce your risk for Ebola by supporting the immune system
Conventionally speaking, I’m sure I’ll be accused of being ‘radical’ or ‘reckless’ to suggest that a strong immune system is our best defense against infectious diseases. So far, conventional medicine has only suggested that we diagnosis and quarantine those affected by Ebola and ‘hope for the best’ – since we have no “cure”. But, in reality, the medical literature is filled with effective ways to minimize the risk of viral infections.Selenium, a potent antioxidant mineral, helps to protect our cells from free radical damage. Interesting to note, the head of the CDC has already said he fears that Ebola ‘might be the next AIDS.’ Yet, not one word was mentioned about the work of Dr. Harold Foster – who pioneered the use of selenium and amino acids, plus antioxidants, for the successful treatment of HIV/AIDS patients. Dr. Foster said:
“Physicians involved in a selenium and amino-acid field trial in Botswana … are reporting that this nutritional protocol reverses AIDS in 99% of patients receiving it, usually within three weeks.”
Imagine, just 3 Brazil nuts can provide more than enough selenium for the human body per day. So, why aren’t we trying to improve the nutritional status of those afflicted in West Africa?
Vitamin C gets rapidly depleted by hemorrhagic viruses – which describes Ebola. In fact, at its end-stage, those suffering with Ebola probably have zero vitamin C within their body. Instead of spending millions of dollars on ‘experimental’ vaccines – why don’t we test the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin C therapies for these infected patients?
According to Robert F. Cathcart, M.D.:
“My experience with giving massive doses of ascorbic acid orally to over 30,000 patients and with giving intravenous sodium ascorbate to over 2,000 patients would indicate that with Ebola and other viral hemorrhagic fever diseases that intravenous sodium ascorbate should be used in doses beginning with at least 180 grams per 24 hours. If the fever is not controlled or the symptoms are not reduced, the dosage and the rate of administration should be increased until they are controlled.”
It simply blows my mind that state health officials are not “experimenting” with the administration of IV vitamin C to the Ebola patients.
Magnesium is one of the most overlooked minerals for optimal health. In fact, according to magnesium expert Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, ‘most people are deficient in magnesium’ due to current farming and food processing methods.
Today, we’re lucky if we get enough magnesium in the diet – which suggests that supplementation is a must. Obviously, everyone is different – so start slowly and work your way up to see what works best for you. Couple magnesium with iodine, and you’ve got a great ‘first line of defense’ against unwanted pathogens.
Just to be clear, when the body becomes magnesium deficient – toxins can accumulate quickly – which speeds up the aging process and increasing the risk of premature death.
Vitamin D is widely known to strengthen immune function. But, before you begin a supplementation protocol, get blood tested. For optimal health, blood levels of 25 OH D should be around 60 – 80 ng/ml. Gee, I wonder, do you think Ebola patients are deficient in vitamin D?
