Which vitamins and supplements would you stockpile for when the SHTF with limited funds?

So not only are you an extremely easily butthurt child. But you also can't seem to read. I never said colloidal silver doesn't work. I simply warned against trusting thehome quackery electrolyzer devices that actually make ionic silver and recommended a source that I trust.
If you can't handle that, you can eat a dick.

What a jerk.

I've been making electro-colliodal silver solutions for over 18 years. This jerk thinks that he/she's found the solution to all of his/her problems, but he/she wants to mess with my green/red 'karma'.

What a coward.

What a jerk.

Expose for the record.

Yes... Because everyone with a brian knows that humans don't need vitamins and minerals. Especially if they are facing a SHTF fan situation where proper nutrition might be scarce.

Hell, we don't even need food or water either, now that I really think about it.

By the way ... you need to add a salt 'as in a "chloride"', to make an ionic silver choride solution.

Do you understand basic chemistry?

No, I'm not providing a link. You are able to research yourself. Silver is not a vitamin and there is no need to regularly ingest it.

It's no coincidence that the obvious shills are always turbo assholes.

These people are flat out EVIL.

Think about it... These maggots "earn" their daily bread by LYING, and distorting, and misinforming.


The good news... God made it SUPER clear where unrepentant liars will will end up.

No - silver is a mineral, Duhh ....

Silver has zero antibiotic qualities? How amusing ... all of those scientific papers are wrong, - yes?

Hey Einstein...

Silver is a trace mineral that USED to be found in fruits and vegetables at a level that provided about 50-100 mcg DAILY.

The modern diet, comprised mainly of plants grown in mineral depleted soils, provides about 1-2 mcg a day.


In the future, unless you actually KNOW what the hell you are talking about... Just STFU.

10-4?

You've got the brains of an ice cube.

Damn.

I tried to give you negative karma, with the comment of 'Ill-informed fuck-wit' or something similar ... but apparently I've already done that this week already.

That sucks. I'll just have to wait a little while longer, I guess ...

Sayonara, sayanim ...

what can you get in the wild in winter to supply calcium

good post.

There is calcium in bone marrow, you may have to get at that. From what ever animal you are eating at the time.

Stockpiling is indeed a good idea with vitamins amd suppliments, however, 1 important thing not to forget is a book on natural sources of vitamins.

I once began a list of wild edibles rich in various vitamins and minerals. I realized that I probably was going to a lot of trouble for something a handful of people would read AND apply. Most people don't realize what vitamins and minerals are their regular food, much less wild plants and animals/fish and their products that they hunt and forage for.

Still, to answer the question: what wild edibles are rich in calcium. Almost every leafy green edible is rich in calcium. Now, go do a little basic research so that you can find them in your backyard. Wild strawberries grow everywhere, and while they don't taste that great, they do have a lot of nutrients like calcium.

Remember: Don't gather from along roadways because of concentration in lead from car/truck exhaust.

In a collapse, a lot of people will finally eat salad, a lot of it, in order to get vitamins.

Here's a tip: when the white clover flowers come in, harvest them. They can be powdered up into a flour that's rich in protein. Most people won't think to harvest this in a collapse. It doesn't have gluten in it, of course. Only spelt and wheat have that, so it won't rise. It's added to extend your flour.

I'll bet that if you live in many places that have yards, that you have at least 20 plants that you could eat to gain important vitamins. The bad news is that unless you've got a major garden going, you're not going to be able to be a vegetarian. You couldn't gain enough calories and would starve to death without growing a lot of crops, even if gathering everything around you.

I'm not anti-vegetarian at all. In a collapse, it's extremely difficult to gather enough. Even the best gardener would need a huge garden AND livestock to make it as a vegetarian. So vegetarians out there, you especially need to consider how much you need in food supplies.

Meat eaters can eat a lot more from the animal than you're used to in order to maximize your nutrition. It's funny, but people complain about pink slime (hamburger with added in meat-byproducts) but our ancestors would have been greatful for such things. You'll not only be eating sweetbread, but using soup bones to make broths rich in nutrients (re the bone marrow comment). I'd say more, but would probably gross out a lot of people. Very little was wasted on the frontier.

I'd like to encourage all of you to check out Green Deane's videos on wild edibles. He's the nicest person around as well as brilliant. His youtube videos have tons of tips on identification, history, nutrition, recipes, etc. He also discusses harvesting snails, mussels, insects, etc.

Trust me, you can learn to identify wild green plants with relative ease. People in times of old without much education learned them, and so can you.
Be cautious about wild mushrooms; they're always problematic to identify even to experts unless they're morels.

Can anyone recommend a good book on herbs and vitamins.
