First book of its kind--a home medical and emergency preparedness book for those interested in self-reliance and sustainable health. Goes beyond other home medical books by addressing emergency situations involving doctor and drug shortages, the effects of economic crisis on health care, bio-terrorism, and extreme weather. With our national health care system bursting at the seams and an increasingly bleak economic situation, staying healthy and having a home medicine plan has become more important than ever. This book will show you how.
