Nutmeg, often celebrated for its warm, spicy flavor in culinary applications, harbors lesser-known medicinal properties that can be a boon for preppers seeking natural remedies. Among these, its potential as a pain reliever stands out, particularly for managing minor aches, inflammation, and digestive discomfort. Here's how to harness nutmeg's analgesic benefits in a preparedness context:

🌿 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐠'𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬
• 𝐌𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐥: These natural compounds in nutmeg have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making nutmeg a useful addition to a natural remedy toolkit.

💊 𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟
• 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐚: A small pinch of ground nutmeg in warm water or herbal tea can help soothe digestive upsets and relieve minor stomach pain.
• 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞: Mix ground nutmeg with a carrier oil like coconut or almond oil to create a soothing salve for sore muscles and joints. Apply gently to the affected area to alleviate discomfort.

📝 𝐃𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
• 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲: Nutmeg should be used sparingly due to its potent effects. A small pinch (less than 1/4 teaspoon) is generally enough for therapeutic purposes without overconsumption risks.
• 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Always consult with a healthcare provider before using nutmeg or any natural remedy, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

🚫 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬
• 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐞: High doses of nutmeg can lead to serious side effects, including hallucinations, dizziness, and irregular heartbeat. It's crucial to use nutmeg responsibly and in minimal amounts.
• 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: As with any natural remedy, be aware of potential allergic reactions and discontinue use immediately if adverse effects occur.

🌱 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
• 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠: Consider adding nutmeg trees to your gardening plans if you live in a suitable climate, ensuring a renewable source of this valuable spice.
• 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞: Store nutmeg whole and grate it as needed to preserve its essential oils and potency. Keep it in a cool, dark, and dry place within airtight containers.

📚 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
• 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞: Educate yourself and your community about the safe and effective use of nutmeg and other natural remedies. Knowledge sharing can be a valuable part of preparedness training and community resilience building.

Nutmeg's role as a natural pain reliever highlights the importance of incorporating traditional remedies into modern preparedness strategies. By understanding and respecting its potent properties, preppers can add an effective tool to their self-care repertoire, ready to alleviate minor aches and pains when conventional medical resources might not be readily available.

I was once hired by a researcher to be the head RN for an IV drug but they could not get enough people to do clinical trial with and the researcher let me go and was trying to figure out how to submit report to pharmaceutical company. Did not know outcome but it gave me insight about how clinical trials were carried out.

The Bad Pharma book is written by Ben Goldacre, a British doctor and was published years ago in Britain. Found this book in local library.

It is so eye opening to me how clinical trials can be misleading if the trial does not go favorable in the manufacturer's favor. A professor lost his job and had a gag order placed on him for speaking out on how Proctor & Gamble falsified the clinical trial he did and had it published in a reputable medical journal, which us nursing and medical students, doctors and nurses all go off on to be reassured about efficacy of a drug and comfortable giving drug to our patients.

I am seeing clearly how falsehoods are sold to us. This harms our patients. Not Good!

I use MCT oil to drizzle in salads. Use it in powder form in my coffee in Keto coffee creamer. As description for MCT in this post, it has immense health and weight loss benefits. Keto diet reverses diabetes. Not necessarily endorsing this brand but just MCT & Keto Diet in itself.

You may be wondering what exactly makes MCT Oil Powder such a great addition to your morning routine… and there are a lot of reasons…

First, clinical studies using coconut-derived MCTs show great potential for improving weight loss through a variety of pathways, including:

√ Accelerate Fat Loss & Reduce Waist Circumference:

One study had participants consume either MCTs or olive oil to see which fat would help them lose more body fat. Researchers noticed that those consuming MCTs also reduced their body weight, lowered their total fat mass, and decreased abdominal fat and waist circumference*.

√ Target Belly Fat:

In a double-blind, controlled study examining the long-term effects of medium-chain triglycerides consumption on overall health, researchers discovered weight loss was “significantly greater in the MCT group.” They also noticed that subcutaneous fat in the abdominal region was also reduced with MCTs*.

√ Appetite Control:

A study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior examined the effects of MCTs on satiety (the feeling of being full) and food intake. It found that MCTs had even greater satiating properties than raw coconut oil itself*.

√ Help Regulate Blood Sugar:

MCTs help balance out your blood glucose levels. This, in turn, decreases oxidative stress and inflammation in your body. High blood sugar has been associated with major diseases because it causes inflammation. According to a study, diets high in MCTs increased insulin sensitivity in people suffering from type 2 diabetes*, thereby improving their prognosis. One small Chinese study of 40 people with high blood sugar found that those who consumed MCTs daily not only had significant reductions in body weight, but also in insulin resistance*.

√ Prevent Future Weight Gain

Another body of research shows that since MCTs are processed so much quicker than long-chain triglycerides, they have a very low tendency to deposit as body fat*. When study participants were given MCTs in one trial, the results conveyed that the subjects increased their ability to burn fat, improved their energy expenditure, and lost more adipose body fat compared to those who didn’t take MCTs — and kept it off.

Love this Vintage Nurse Art - War Nurse fighting to save her fallen soldier.

Podcast by Nurse Liz on Nurses being in the Patient/Family seat. It is just over an hour and a couple of nurses give their experience on being on the nurse side and the patient/family side.

A huge injustice was done to patients and their families during the pandemic with visiting and quality of care.

I found it a great discourse to show both sides of the issues discussed.

I personally know this amazing Registered Nurse Anji who just started her own Home Heath agency. She is taking new patients now.

To our fellow nurses, there are endless avenues to nursing besides bedside in a hospital or in a skilled nursing facility.

There is a growing field of Nurse Wellness Coach which is similar to what RN Anji is doing.

Nurse Life

In Nursing Specialties, which I want to introduce you to, I will start with that of an RN Acute Case Manager, which has the my specialty last 3 years.

Many people, especially bedside nurses may not understand the role we play. As a bedside nurse myself, I was quite clueless of what a Case Manager does in hospital.

Here are job postings from employers that describes the roles and responsibilities of a RN Case Manager in an Acute Care Setting.

NB:- Many hospitals use Care Coordinator on ID Badges but use Case Manager when talking.

Nursing Through The Ages

Critical Care Nurse 101

If you reaching for the covers shaking from chills and it is 100° outside, you may want to reach for phone instead to call 911.

Sepsis is the term medical uses for the Layman's term, "Blood Poisoning".

Once Septic Shock happens, organs are shutting down. You may have minutes to a few hours to live if you do not get medical treatment.

There is no "sleeping this off". You will remain sleeping.... forever.......

It has been a passion in humanity.

Patient: "Why am I not seen on a first come, first serve basis in ER?"
Nurse Rena: Not about who is first but who is most sick. Being in pain does not constitute being the most sick.
