Reply to: No, the Wuhan coronavirus is not an escaped bioweapon Posted January 25, 2020

Hello to the dedicated team at ThePrepared.com! Thank you for your thoughtful and cautious analysis and comments on the Wuhan coronavirus. I agree that fear mongering is unhelpful, and that hysteria may drive people to buy drugs (thus increasing the profits of Big Pharma, as apparently happened during the 2001 anthrax scare, and the avian flu in 2005). Hysteria can also contribute to unhelpful civil unrest. However, I am wondering if you are aware of the many scientists, researchers and doctors who have presented convincing evidence in recent years that many disease outbreaks have been engineered and intentional, or due to accidental releases of bioweapons under study. I was quite surprised and dismayed to learn this in the last 15 months! Your long-term readers are likely well aware of this, which is probably why you chose to write this article. Some very compelling evidence exists that biowarfare was possibly behind the Spanish Flu (1918 to 1920), Lyme Disease, Ebola, and HIV. At the moment, I suggest that we focus on improving our immunity (using such supports as essential oils, sleep, clean food), reduce our exposure, and calmly prepare for the emergency situations and social events that may result when entire cities are quarantined. I truly feel great compassion for the 50 million people in China who are apparently under quarantine as of January 25, 2020. How many of these people have done any emergency preparation for even the highest priority needs such as water, energy, food (or have been able to afford any emergency preparation)? The reality is that many people worldwide are affected currently by bushfires, volcanic eruptions, floods, hurricanes, extreme weather and epidemics. I believe that knowing the causes of these emergency events is definitely worth pondering, but that the primary focus for people in the middle of the emergency needs to be on coping. Thank you for your excellent website, and your dedication to providing comprehensive and practical information emergency preparedness. With gratitude, Pamela LJ

Hello!  Thank you so much to the team at ThePrepared.com for your hard work and dedication to writing excellent articles and doing extensive research!  I am most grateful!  I have written a brief summary (4 pages) of emergency preparedness information for my friends and family, and I emailed it to them recently, and included a link to your excellent website.  I noticed that you are updating your list of recommended books, so I would like to make a suggestion in order to help you. I highly recommend “Surviving when modern medicine fails: A definitive guide to essential oils that could save your life during a crisis”, 3rd edition, by Dr. Scott A. Johnson.  The book is available on his website and on Amazon. The book provides general information on essential oils, methods of use (topical, inhalation, oral), and then recommendations for an extensive list of health conditions! Another excellent book for emergency and survival situations is by Dr. Scott A. Johnson is “The Doctor’s Guide to Surviving When Modern Medicine Fails”, which is very helpful for use in remote areas, emergencies and other situations when medical care is not available. On Dr. Johnson’s website, you can get a discount if you buy books in bulk packs (pack of 10, pack of 25).  Very highly recommended overall! Dr. Scott A. Johnson is a Naturopathic doctor and has many other qualifications, and he is extraordinarily thorough in his research.  His lists of references in his many books are vast, and his information is very deep and evidence-based. These two books are available in paperback form, with minimal illustrations and concise content, so the books can be carried in a backpack, and help you during a crisis. These books are also available in Kindle form, which can be helpful, but of course, that format may be very helpful during an extended power outage If you want gorgeous photos and more technical content for serious study (at a technical level that suits both home users and healthcare professionals), I highly recommend his enormous book “Medicinal Essential Oils: The Science and Practice of Evidence-based Essential Oil Therapy”, which has more than 2,200 pages! Best wishes to everyone!  Thanks again to the team at ThePrepared.com!
