There will be times when new unkown sickness will appear on earth. Medicine will not know how to cure them. But there is hope for those that want to do the work. A free gift for humanity is available. No group to join, no money required. Any human being, regardless of skin color, religion, political or religious position has the potential within. Please ask for a free book at www.hercolubus.tv. It has the practices to prepare yourself. No one can do the job for you. You and you alone can prepare for what is already happening: Floods, Earthquakes, Global Warming, Pandemics, World wars etc.

At a minimum a family should be prepared to self supporting and largely isolated from conventional sources of food, fuel and water for a period of two weeks, and preferably two months. Potable water is the first priority. Food should have a long shelf life and not require refrigeration. Other basic essentials include prescription medicines, sanitation supplies and sources of light and heat. Recreational games, good books and other forms of diversion are important.

Perhaps the most important source of dealing with a pandemic or other large scale disaster situation is a dependable community of friends and neighbors who will look out for one another. Even when people are forced to be semi quarantined they can be part of a support group that checks up on one another and cooperates in making sure each other have the basic necessities. It is hard to overestimate the importance of a strong social support network.
