When the Healing Stops: Facing a World Without Doctors or Medicine
– Jason barker
A must have for every home Dr. La Guardia does a very thorough job of describing effective alternatives to standard treatment for times when those methods are not available or out of reach. We all know the value of antibiotics when properly used to treat a wound infection but what if those antibiotics are needed yet not available? What do you do then? Well, Dr. La Guardia goes into detail on how to most effectively manage such things when the standard methods are not available and often using things that can be found in most households. This is exactly the sort of information people need access to; A sort of urban wilderness medicine book for when the urban setting becomes for all practical purposes, the wilderness. Those who understand the value of being able to manage their own needs in times of scarcity will value the practical information in this book. A wide range of topics are covered and I found the alternatives suggested to be practical and based on sound reasoning that is widely in agreement with other trusted sources. I also appreciated Dr La Guardia’s easy to follow flow and writing style in this book. I highly recommend this book.
