Hi everyone,
Here is the herbal year supply list with the changed information. I haven't had the time to look up other companies that have other formulas that can be used instead of Dr. Christopher's so I have included the formula (ratio is usually one to one). At the end of the revised list is an email that Yvonne also put together about a basic food storage. Unfortunately, I don't have a version for those that are gluten intolerant. If any one knows of one I would be happy to know.

Food Storage!
Today there is a myriad of ideas on food storage and many are lacking in sufficient nutrition. Who wants to just survive and be sick? The best plan for storage includes a high density of vitamins, mineral, proteins, and essential fats in the foods you store for optimum health. The following is a list of things I store.
Basic Storage for one person for one year:
300 lbs. Organic wheat (kamut, spelt)
155 lbs. A combination of organic grains (brown rice, buckwheat, oat groats, millet, quinoa, barley, corn, triticale, spelt, kamut etc.)
50 lbs. Raw nuts (25 lbs almonds, 5 lbs of additional favorites such as walnuts, cashews, pecans, pine nuts, etc.) Can use almonds to make nut milk.
20 lbs. Raw seeds (flax seeds, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, chia, etc.)
75 lbs. Organic beans (pinto, black, red, white, garbanzo, lentils, mung beans, peas, soybeans, etc.)
60 lbs. Raw honey (also store some black strap molasses and agave - I use agave for special treats)
20 lbs. Oils (Olive oil, coconut and wheat germ oil)
10 lbs. Salt (vegetable, potassium based or sea salt)
60 lbs. Sprout mix (2 parts wheat, 1 part of the following: triticale, lentils, adzuki beans, mung beans, peas, then add 2 c. of fenugreek to the 60 lb. bucket)
5 lbs. Seed Sprout mix (alfalfa, radish and red clover)
Garden seeds (A good variety!)
Spices (You will want some different flavors)
Expanded Storage:
Fruit and vegetables (dried from your garden)
Squash, potatoes, onions, apples can easily be stored through the winter in a basement. The great advantage is these will be fresh yummy all winter long and through part of spring.
I also have some frozen fruit and vegetables in my freezer. I also have bottled fruit and vegetables without any sugar, but since I have gone to a more raw food diet, I now dry foods at 105 degrees to maintain the live enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.
You can purchase good quality freeze dried foods to expand your storage even more. Make sure to check the ingredients for just whole foods without any additives. Purchase your basic storage FIRST!! Don't worry about getting a certain amount for each person on the fruit and vegetables - just get started after getting your basic storage and soon you will have a nice supply. Fall is a great time of year to find many good deals, so have fun.
Best of luck and I will write again come the new year.

p.s. For those that have been following the blog. If you would like these emailed to you each month, please email your name to aeroiasapothocary@hotmail.com and I will add you to the list.

Herb Corner Issue 23
Hi everyone,
Lots has been going on this last month and I realized that the new month was already upon us. As the rains have begun to fall more often here in Washington, they are spreading the word about being prepared. We have been told as Latter-Day Saints to have food storage (as much as is permissable where you live). I don't have a list of those things, but they should be things that will store well and that you know how to prepare if the need arises. In addition to that, I remembered receiving an email from another Master Herbalist about a year supply of herbs so diseases can be combated as well. I thought I would pass it along:
Herbs for Year Supply
Yvonne L. Salcido, M.H.
There is a definite peace that comes from having a ready supply of herbs on hand for a sudden illness or emergency.
Recently I had a family member in another state call because she was very sick. She wanted to know what she could do. She had nothing on-hand in her house. If the phones lines were down, even cell phones will not work in a major disaster. What if she could not call to get advice?
Most important is herbal education - this invaluable skill will bless many in circumstances that we cannot predict. For the best herbal education we recommend The School of Natural Healing - (www.snh.cc).
Look around us - the world is having so many challenges from weather, earthquake, wars, etc. Becoming self reliant is becoming critical! Here is a list of herbs that I think every home should have on hand (you can customize it to your needs). The following list is per person, per year. For example, if you have 4 people in your family you would want 4 pounds of cut lobelia.
Cayenne

*Indicates a formula by Dr. Christopher. You can find these formulas at an herb shop. Find herb shops we recommend at http://www.christopherwebsites.com.
To learn how to use these herbs in an emergency we encourage you to pick up the book "Herbs to the Rescue" by Kurt King, M.H. Even better, as part of the Family Herbalist course you study this book in depth. To learn more about Level 100 - Family Herbalist go to http://online.snh.cc. To purchase the book Herbs to the Rescue visit this link:

Printable Version: http://www.herballegacy.com/Herbs_Supply.pdf
I know a lot of Dr. Christopher's Formulas are used in here, but it is an easy way to keep the supply condensed. If you are looking for alternatives to these formulas I will try and pass that information along later this month. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to let me know.
May we be blessed as we move forward with faith. Until next email. :D
