Joseph Alton, M.D. and Amy Alton, A.R.N.P known as Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy, have a vision. That vision is to educate and equip everyday people, like you and me, to step up to medical situations in their families or groups, when medical help is not on the way.
That’s right, when medical help is not available and no medical help is expected to be available, we, every day people, must step up and do what we can with what we have. That’s where the book “The Survival Medicine Handbook,” second edition helps to equip its readers to prepare for health situations where there is no one else.
The emphasis is on prevention of disease, injury and serious medical issues and there is excellent information (in easy-to-understand layman’s terms) familiarizing the readers with anatomy, physiology, likely medical situations you will face in an emergency, how to put together supplies and resources, natural medicine (herbal, essential oils, nutritional) and much, much more in the 580+ pages packed with information and pictures.
Why a second edition? The first edition was on the Amazon best-seller list in 3 categories and extremely popular. However, since this was the first book of its kind (other than the stabilize and transport advice books) it entered in waters previously uncharted.
Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy state in the second edition, “This 2nd Edition covers more issue than the first book, and covers almost every subject in more detail. The book updates a number of areas of the first book with new strategies that we have devised for various problems. Every section has been amended in some way; some a little, some a lot.”
