The annex of the study gives specific test results on vehicles, etc. The net result is that the book exagerates the effects on electronics and vehicles. Vehicles stall, but can be turned back on."<br /><br />The energy density generated by a nuclear blast in space at various altitudes are classified to prevent giving bad actors the recipe for this type of weapon. But as a data point the Soviets designed EMP weapons that would generate energy densities many time those that were used in the test referenced above. The nuclear tests Star Fish Prime not only took out the electrical grid in Hawaii but also radios that used vacuum tubes, which are much more resilient than our modern electronics.<br /><br />One Second After is an accurate description (if our adversaries get things right) from a technical and social standpoint.DWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262587917905900259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-22187990291868749362011-02-22T17:55:49.213-08:002011-02-22T17:55:49.213-08:00I am also studying herbal medicine, Beth.

It's so interesting, and amazing to see various herbs bring about immediate results, with no side effects. <br /><br />I just wanted to recommend, if you haven't read them already: Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy, by Mills & Bone; The New Holistic Herbal, by David Hoffman; 50 Most Common Medicinal Herbs, by Boon & Smith; and Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine. <br /><br />P & P is an essential text, in my opinion, with all the traditional info plus detailed scientific studies, plus the treatment philosopy and context; Hoffman's is a great overview and quick reference, despite some new age philospohy; 50 Most Common Herbs is based more on the clinical studies; and Bartram's is a more detailed reference guide.

On a related note...as a home-birthing mama and mother of six daughters, I would like to be much more prepared for the eventuality of needing to assist the birthing women in my area in having their babies. I was wondering if either you or Maid Elizabeth might be able to suggest some good, practical books on the topic? I am of course familiar with the basics, but would be woefully unprepared in the event of a difficult birth.

I've spent most of my spare time lately researching recipes to put into my mylar bags so that we are not just opening beans or rice or flour but, an actual meal. But, in the back of my mind stays the ever nagging thought of medical care. We purchased several simple over the counter medications with long shelf lives and have put them away but, the book you talk about sounds excellent. And, I can tell you for sure, I will joyfully purchase it from you. I know the time and effort I have poured into the food storage project and, therefore, am aware of the time you will spend on this book to get it right.

Yes, I thought I would make a booklet that could be made available to anyone who also wanted this kind of information. My plan was to write it in an easy to follow format and then pass it to a Doctor friend who is eminently qualified to verify the information and add to it as he deems necessary. "First do no harm" is the motto for this booklet. I just want the information available to those of us who will be on the front line!<br /><br />And yes, I think the EMP scenario was a bit overblown. I think an EMP would take down the power grid, but not necessarily every car, pump etc. But as an author, I guess worst-case-scenario gives more fodder for the imagination.<br /><br />EnolaEnola Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719123975236426938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-38202342882772723072011-02-22T07:38:11.583-08:002011-02-22T07:38:11.583-08:00Enola, please also attach this most important refe...Enola, please also attach this most important reference page from the<br /><br />International Association for Hospice & Palliative Care<br />http://www.hospicecare.com/journals_publications.htm<br />Here you will have access to many countries publications in English on issues related to palliative care, and care of person in dying and death.<br /><br />notutopiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
