Top 8 Features to Look for In an Emergency Water Purifier

A healthy source of drinking water is the single most important item to have on hand in the likely event of an emergency or disaster, second only to breathable air. Food, of course, would be second on the most needed items in natural or human-made disasters or emergency. In most cases, after a disastrous event, the stores quickly empty out of the most crucial items such as water and food, next would be generators, flashlights, batteries, toilet paper, propane, cook stoves, etc.

Water is always the first to go. Not just from the shelves in the grocery stores and convenience stores but along with the electric and gas utilities, water is also turned off. When the water stops flowing from your tap, and you were not able to find any in the stores, what is your plan? In an extended crisis of weeks or even months, neighbors will be draining sources like swimming pools, spas, and water features. They will be knocking down property fences and gates to get at it hauling away buckets at a time and drained in days for sure. Now what?

Martial Law and curfews will eventually be enforced, resulting from wide spread riots and looting, starting first in the cities and then slowly migrating to the suburbs and then into the rural areas. Gangs and small marauding bands of thugs will start taking what ever they need or want, more than likely at gun point. You can quickly start to see you should have planned for such a time as this.

My purpose of writing this article is to alert and warn you that everyone who wants to survive a major crisis or disaster needs to stock, water, food, and protection. Protection? What am I saying? I'll be blunt, and straight forward, only those that have planned will survive. Are you a pacifist or a Christian zealot? Are you willing to stand by and watch a female member of your family raped and murdered? Get a gun and learn how to use it! That said, let's move on.

If the neighborhood is on fire, burning from house to house, you need to bug out. Do you have a bug-out plan in place or are you going to jump in your car and head for the nearest grid-lock? What about buckets of beans and rice, wood burning camp stove and cooking utensils. Water? You can only carry so much, and water weights 6-lbs per gallon. What you need is a way to purify any polluted water source using any heat source. Can't I just use a filter? If you did your homework in advance, you would know that the American Red Cross, FEMA, Homeland Security and the CDC all recommend a non-electric water distiller, and strongly warn against any type filter in an emergency or disaster. Why a non-electric distiller? First, you will not likely have electricity. Second, they recommend boiling water to kill disease germs, bacteria, viruses, cysts and waterborne diseases. Distillers do just that! Plus all non-electric distillers can use any heat source, electric or gas stove, propane stove, barbeque grill, charcoal, camp stove or even a camp fire. There are only four or five non-electric survivor stills available.

Eight features to look for in a non-electric survivor still

1. Determine the volume of water it will purify per day. The production of distilled water from the available non-electric water distillers varies from 8 gallons per day to 18+. ( Take care you pick a model that will supply your family's needs.)

2. Choose a survivor still based upon the gauge of the stainless steel boiling pot and the one with the sturdiest construction and heavy-duty materials and components. Especially since yours and your families lives will be depending on its performance under the roughest circumstances and conditions.

3. Most non-electric distillers are a severe scalding hazard capable of causing 3rd-degree burns. A child can quickly pull the boiling pot onto themselves as well as an adult. That is the last thing you need is a life-threatening injury during a disaster when hospitals may not be accessible for burn treatments. Pick a survivor still that uses a condenser cooling system and has the boiler snap-latched to the condenser preventing accidental scald injuries and the condenser water always remains at room temperature also preventing scald accidents.

4. Pick a survivor still that is automatic, so there is no need to manually add water to the boiler or continually dump and replace the condenser water as needed with some units. It is tedious and dangerous work handling the boiling pot and condenser. Most models require the condenser water to be dumped and replaced with cooler water for the still to function and if not replaced regularly, the condenser water can reach temperatures of 140- 150 F hot enough to cause third degree burns with just 2 seconds of skin contact. One survivor still model uses a 9-volt pump 5-watt solar panel with battery back-up to keep the condenser cool at all times, rain or shine, day or night and also automatically adds water to the boiling pot as needed.

5. Pick a survivor still that does not need to be level to operate as some models do. If you are in an outdoor camping situation and require a campfire as your heat source, you cannot be worrying about whether the survivor still is perfectly level or not as some brands need.

6. Some models do not have a closed system to prevent outside contamination from the air or debris from a fire. Pick a survivor still that is completely enclosed from the boiler through the cooling coils and the post filter and into a closed collection container. You will never need to worry the distilled water will ever get contaminated in the distillation process.

7. Choose a survivor still that can easily be packed up and transported with ease, in the event you need to bug out fast. You do not want to be dealing with a bulky boiling and condenser pot, especially if you're on foot!

8. The greatest amount of distilled water is produced using a stainless steel cooling coil inside a condenser full of cool water. For this reason, avoid models that utilize pots of cool water and use the bottom to condense the steam. In this method, the steam is subject to contamination from the air and the lower surface of the pot. Pick a model with a cooling coil suspended in a condenser of cool water, the steam contained inside the coil, is protected from outside contamination. This method also produces three times more distilled water. That feature accounts for the greater cost of a non-electric survivor still with a stainless steel cooling coil and automatic features. The quality of the automatic model, the high volume of pure water and ease of unattended operation and the peace of mind knowing it cannot scald anyone justifies the increased cost. This model also comes in a 7-gallon bucket with a screw on Gamma Lid which houses all parts and has a handle for easy transport.

Which ever model or brand you choose, you will know that regardless of the source of water you will be able to turn it into healthy pure drinking water in any emergency or disaster.

The It Factor - A Letter to Healthcare Providers

Today I became brave enough to write this letter. It has taken me awhile to come to a place of personal power which affords me the ability to share with you my story. I am grateful that you have taken the time to read my simple words.

You are receiving this letter today because we have worked together in some capacity in the healthcare industry. For some of you it has been awhile since we have spoken and for others it may have been only yesterday. I hope you at least get a chuckle out of the words I am about to share.

About 3 years ago my life permanently changed. I was not diagnosed with a disease, I did not lose a loved one, no tragedies to report. In fact my life was going along in an incredibly normal mundane manner. Then it happened, I was given a mandate. I cannot tell you the source of this mandate but I can tell you it was given to me in an extremely powerful and profound way. What was given to me as a powerful directive was "Heal the Healer". You may ask as, I have a million times, what in the world does that mean? I will try and explain to you the understanding which has slowly unfolded for me. At first I completely rejected the idea. Who was I? I worked for, supported, managed and/or was treated by physicians, nurses or providers of the healing arts. What could I offer to any of you? As I deliberated over such thoughts I began to understand a few things.

First, was that I stepped into a career of Medical Practice Management because I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I did not grow up thinking or saying "I want to do or be that". On the other hand I make the assumption that most of you did grow up knowing what you wanted to be. You studied and worked very hard to be the "healers" that you are today.

Second, was that I did not follow my childhood dreams or passions. When I was young I thought that I was going to be a Catholic Nun or a mental health therapist. These professions would have served me well. But my source had a different path for me to take to arrive at my life purpose.

Third, I was placed in your life or you were placed in mine for a purpose. As an employee of physicians I supported you to do the work you needed to do. I loved and cared for the patients and practices that I managed for you. As a supervisor of nurses, physicians, therapists and support staff I supported you to do the work that you needed to do, to care for the patients or clients. I have often been referred to as the Mamma Bear of many a practice; loving and caring for all and I have been known to be a powerful patient advocate. Interesting enough I have been both a spiritual guide and therapist to several of you. (Funny how that works)

My final realization was, "Healers" tend to not be so good at self-care. You give your heart and soul to others, often depleting yourselves. So the idea of "Heal the Healer" began to resonate with me.

Once the mandate was given to me, even though I rejected it, my life path began to change. I call that time the duality of Ginger. On one side I remained a focused administrator, but there was another side of me that began to expand. Through that expansion I began to study alternative healing modalities. I was certified in a few different methods but was unable to act upon my new knowledge. The administrative side of me was riddle with the fear that I may cause someone injury. I had such an integral part of holding all risks at bay in the practices I worked in, that I could not move forward in becoming a Healer. These modalities followed similar protocols to what you do today. Triage, Intake, Examine, Diagnose and Treatment.

Then my world was rocked by a process referred to as The Reconnection and Reconnective Healing. The purpose of my letter is to introduce you to a new expansive idea. No I am not selling you a time share and this is not a multilevel marketing scheme. What it might look like at first glimpse is quackery. Again I beg you to stick with me for a moment longer.

I am convinced that your work could be amplified by the energies (frequency if you will) of The Reconnection. OK, I hear you! You are thinking or actually saying out loud "what in the world is she talking about". Before you sign a petition to institutionalize me, stop and think for a moment. Can you name an acclaimed individual who has greatly contributed to a significant positive change in our world, who has not mentioned a divine intervention, divine knowledge, an inner knowing, a voice or an understanding beyond this world that led to many of their discoveries or inventions? I believe in all significant discoveries there is always the "IT" factor. Something that wakes you up in the middle of the night with the knowledge you have been searching for. There are individuals who have come into this plain of time and space with that connection. For most of us there is a disconnect. Why is there "a disconnect"? I do not know. But I do know for a fact, that my Reconnection and the Reconnection of several people I know have dramatically sent them on the express train to their life purpose. I'm not saying that if you pursued this that you would discover a new color, a cure or a way to teleport, though you may. I am saying that I am sure that your healing can become more in alignment with the "IT" factor which interns amplifies it. This may just be what Heal the Healer meant.

The premise of The Reconnection process is that our meridian lines (acupuncture lines) were intended to be energetically connected to the lay lines of the planet and then connected to the universal grid lines. 50 years ago this would have been considered hogwash or hippie skippy stuff. But the field of Quantum Physics is begging us to reconsider our antiquated ideas and ideals. You all know that I am not scientific in any stretch of the imagination. So I struggle to give you the scientific data, but it is available. What I can give you is my life experience and the life experiences of those who I have witnessed. There is something really powerful here and I want you to dare to consider the possibilities.

OK, you made it to the end of this letter. I want you to know that I did not write to you to obtain more clients, to pad my referral list or to snag you into this idea. If you do not contact me regarding this I don't mind. I simply want to follow my mandate or better said Life Purpose of "Heal the Healer".

My deepest desire is that I have planted a teeny tiny seed of interest. I challenge you to look it up, take off the skepticism shades that may cover your eyes, what if I am right, what if there is more to this universe than we have been led to believe. What I really want is for you to pursue a Reconnection or experience Reconnective Healing from anyone who is certified. If you get to the point of asking god Google what is The Reconnection and who is Dr. Eric Pearl. Your thoughts might be "Oh My Goodness" this cannot be legitimate". Don't judge a book by the cover or the source in which the universe has chosen to present this information. Push through judgment and read his book or better yet, just go do it. What can you lose?

I remain honored and blessed.

Type 2 Diabetes and Healthy Living - Part 1 of Measuring Your Current Lifestyle

Regardless of where your health stands, it is beneficial to measure your current lifestyle. It will reveal areas of concern that can be worked on to elevate your health. It will also make it easier for your doctor to give you actionable advice.

Take a self-assessment test! Answer the following questions in detail and provide this information to a trusted professional. Work out the kinks in your health, and commit to attaining a higher quality of life...

1. Are you a couch potato? First things first: exercise. Do you do it, or do you avoid it more than you would like to admit? Exercising is essential for a variety of reasons. You are always better off exercising than not, and it is rare you will regret making an effort. It does wonders for every facet of health and well-being. Whereas being a couch potato leaves you vulnerable to a host of complications.

2. Do you park close to stores to avoid walking? This question reveals your mindset towards physical activity. Maybe it is a matter of habit but consistently choosing to park close to a store entrance shows a tendency to avoid exercise.

You cannot avoid physical activity if you are to be healthy.

3. How do you spend your time at home? There s nothing wrong with leisure time during your downtime. But for work-life balance to exist, it requires your health is looked after. The two best ways to take care of your health is to eat well and be active.

Always allocate some of your time at home to healthy eating and regular activity: this means you should exercise throughout the week and make an effort to cook your meals. You do not have to do these every day, but they should become regular habits.

4. How often and when do you eat out? Is eating out a special occasion for you, or has it become something you have learned to expect? Everything in moderation. There is no harm in eating out a couple of times a month. Any more than this, and you ought to be mindful of the choices you are making at the restaurant.

(Say yes to traditional salads, and no to fish and chips).

5. How much sleep do you get? If you are sleep deprived, it is going to create a slew of problems you may not immediately recognize. It is going to throw off your moods, appetite, and energy levels, making it harder to stay on the right track.

6. How much alcohol do you consume? Be careful with alcohol. That is all that needs to be said. If anyone in their 20's cannot afford the internal damage it inflicts, it is even more relevant for you to keep your`intake at a minimum.

Although managing Type 2 diabetes can be very challenging, it is not a condition you must just live with. Make simple changes to your daily routine - include exercise to help lower both your blood sugar levels and your weight.

Type 2 Diabetes - Smoking Is A Health Hazard for Anyone With Diabetes

In August of 2017, the journal Women's Health reported on a study showing a link between smoking and the presence of Type 2 diabetes in women. Researchers at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Lithuania compared...



168 women with new cases of Type 2 diabetes with

336 women without any trace of high blood sugar levels.

Compared with the healthy women, the group who had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes were 2.8 times more likely to smoke at least ten cigarettes a day. Women with diabetes were also 4.6 times more likely to have smoked for at least 40 years. Interestingly though, the women in the diabetes group were 6.4 times more likely to have stopped smoking within nineteen or fewer years. Smoking raises the body's resistance to insulin. This resistance is known to be the cause of Type 2 diabetes: it causes the blood sugar levels to rise above the normal range.

Having Type 2 diabetes and smoking as well raise the risk of...



heart and blood vessel disease,

kidney disease,

blindness,

ulcers,

infections, and the need for

amputation.

Uncontrolled blood sugar levels in combination with smoking, make for an even higher risk of developing these serious conditions...



people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are three times more likely to die of heart and blood vessel disease if they smoke.

having both diabetes and heart disease damages blood vessels, lowering the amount of oxygen and blood delivered to the organs that need them. Smoking raises blood pressure, which can make kidney disease worse.

Having both Type 2 diabetes and smoking as well harms the retina, the back of the eye where pictures form...



ulcers and infections can develop as a result of poor circulation.

Both diabetes and smoking have been linked to the death of tissues in the appendages because the tissues are unable to heal themselves without enough oxygen or nutrients.

Help is available for smokers who want to quit the habit...



California in the United States has a free helpline at 1-800-nobutts, or 1-800-662-8887.

other state helplines can be reached from 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).

hundreds of hypnotherapists claim success.

The National Cancer Institute in the United States can be reached at 1-877-44u-quit, or 1-877-448-7848

spas are available for getting away from bad habits. They can easily be found online.

Nicorette gum, nicotine patches, varenicline (Chantix) and Wellbutrin, or bupropion, are medications your physician can prescribe.

Type 2 diabetes too, can be reversed for many if they get down to their regular lean weight. If that doesn't work, eat healthily, get plenty of physical activity, and take the medications prescribed by your doctor.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
