Emergency - Community Alert

WHAT TO DO WHEN THERE IS A COMMUNITY ALERT

First, if there is a community alert regarding an exposure to toxins, you can support your body for that possibility by using the following suggested remedies from the Basic 12.

Arsenicum alb. is taken in general for viruses or bacteria, such as yellow fever or anthrax. Nux-vomica is taken in general for chemicals, such as sarin and cyanide. Hypericum is taken for tetanus, which is a bacterial infection which may develop in any wound.

These remedies may be taken one dose daily (3 pellets). The remedies, which come in the form of white pellets, should be touched only by the person taking them. Use the cap to measure the dose. If your supply is limited, a dose may be taken by inhalation, being sure to avoid breathing into the vial. Recap the vial quickly. Keep remedies away from strong odors, dampness and direct sunlight so that the energy of the pellets is not lost.

Second, in any emergency situation with actual exposure, the following remedies may always be taken immediately: Aconite or Arnica. If collapse is present take Carbo-veg or Sulphur.

Third, choose from the list below the description that best matches your symptom or complaint. After the symptom is a list of the best remedies from the Basic 12 to take for that particular problem. It is suggested to try them in the order listed. Read the scenario for more specific instructions on how to take the remedies.

SCENARIO

You are having your usual day and suddenly you and several others begin complaining of stomach cramps. The symptoms increase to abdominal pain and vomiting. You consider taking your homeopathic remedies because the outbreak may be due to an exposure to a chemical, virus or bacteria.

DIRECTIONS

First, take Aconite or Arnica. Aconite is the remedy for fear, fright, or sudden extreme happenings. Arnica is the remedy for any trauma, wound, or injury. In any emergency situation always take immediately: Aconite or Arnica. Carbo-veg or Sulphur may be used if the symptom is total physical collapse.

Second, look at your main complaint and find it on the list above.

Third, begin taking the first remedy. Take 3 pellets for each dose.

HOW TO USE THE LIST

Symptoms should begin to improve or change within 5 minutes.

1) If you experience no change in the intensity of the symptom, then try a repeat dose of the same remedy. Continue taking the same remedy every 5 minutes or so until you feel an improvement or a change.

2) If the symptom is worse in intensity, then take a dose of the next remedy on the list. Any time the symptom becomes worse, take the next remedy on the list for that symptom.

3) If there is a change in your symptoms (or if you feel better with the first symptom but a different symptom appears), then consult the list again for that new symptom and take its remedies following the same pattern described above.

If a "wrong" remedy is chosen, it won't help, yet it will not harm you, so keep trying different remedies until improvement is seen. If you forgot your list, just start on the Basic 12 Remedies and try one at a time every 5 minutes until improvement.

Even if no alert of community exposure comes forth, you will not be hurt by having taken the remedies. However, do not consider Homeopathy to be a substitute for regular medical emergency and preventative practices. Homeopathic remedies, regular emergency medicine and preventative practices work well together.
