Hey y'all, welcome to show number three here on Prepper Broadcasting. I'm Jetson Carroll, and I'm an herbalist. And today, I am going to talk about what's on everyone's mind right now. As Preppers, we are always trying to be prepared. And it seems these days that every week is bringing us a new pandemic, or at least threat thereof. And this week, it is monkeypox. I'm sure you're all just shivering in your boots of over the potential of a monkey pox outbreak and waiting for the great Dr. Fauci to tell you what to do about it. Well, I'm not. I'm sure you're not even. But here's the thing about viruses. No matter what our health officials say and no matter what our scientists do, we can't avoid them all. We're all going to catch viruses. We're all going to experience viruses. Viruses are one of the

oldest forms of life on the planet, and they're not even technically alive. You will find viruses deep in the lava of volcanoes. You will find viruses deep in the Arctic ice. Viruses are really actually amazing if you've studied them. They use you or another animal or whatever they need to replicate. Every life forms primary instinct. is to reproduce. Well, let's say every life form until modern America in the last 20 or 30 years when things just went weird. But in actual nature, nature wants to reproduce. Nature doesn't find itself being transgendered very often.

And those viruses have specific means of reproduction. They infect a host. They need to take a little bit of that host. post DNA sometimes. They need to infect a certain tissue. Let's say like a respiratory virus gets inside of your lungs and causes you to cough and sneeze as it replicates. That's how it infects the next person. That's how it stays alive. Our medical professionals are always trying to stay one step ahead of something much more primitive than we are with much better survival instincts

that it's just programmed into what it is. It doesn't have to think. It is the ultimate survivor. And viruses can adapt. Viruses change. Whenever it goes into a new host and picks up a little bit of that DNA, it changes a little bit.

We can't keep up. We would never be able to keep up. You know, Dr. Malone and the RNA, vaccines. He said what we did over COVID doing these vaccines was absolutely insanity. Not only was it going to be ineffective in protecting us from the COVID-19 virus, but it was going to encourage the virus to mutate. And, you know, it's a losing proposition. This is by no means the first pandemic we've ever faced, and it's not going to be the last pandemic we've ever faced. Throughout history, I mean, we can talk smallpox, we can talk, you know, bubonic plague.

I mean, come on. There's been some really bad stuff out there in history of humankind, and the history of the world goes back a whole lot longer than the history of human kind. I mean, you probably remember that little clip of Charlton Heston reading from a Michael Crichton book, Rush Limbaugh used to play. You know, man is this little speck on earth here for this short little period of time who thinks he can control everything. We cannot. We cannot control everything. We can do our best to be prepared and adapt. We can try to be resilient. And one of the best ways we can do that is using herbal medicine. God created a man. God created the plants for man's health. They're all around us. My people perish for lack of knowledge. When the slime flu epidemic hit after World War I, it was horrible. It killed more people than the World War. It killed more people than both World War's bind. It was a terrible flu that a person could catch and die from very quickly. You could get up in the morning. This happened to many, many people. They'd go to work. They're perfectly healthy. They got to work by mid-morning. They're feeling a little sick. By noon, they're bleeding from their nose and eyes

and ears and dead. I had swine flu one with one. Last time it went around, this is how it hit me. Now, I'll tell you, this is so much worse than COVID. I mean, I had COVID, too. I had COVID, too. COVID was not that big a deal. Yes, I know it killed a main people. I'm not minimizing, okay? But overall, it was a virus with well over a 90% survivability rate, unless you were in bad health to start with or elderly. You didn't have to worry about it a whole lot.

You know, probably didn't need to be vaccinated. Ooh, okay, I threw it out there. I didn't get vaccinated. I had COVID. I'm not worried about it. Let me tell you how much worse, swine flu is. So I'm at my home in the mountains one morning. I get up, I get in my car, start to go down the driveway, my brakes are spongy.

Something's going on. I get out. My brake line is damage, is cut. I think I probably hit a pothole and something just kind of hit it right. I don't think he by did it, you know, intentionally. Well, there was a little shop down the road, and I couldn't stop the car at that point anyway. But this, you know, old mechanic was up the road, and I knew if I coasted to his shop, I'd be all right. So using the handbrake and just trying to be very careful. I was able to coast into his shop before I totally lost all the pressure in my brake lines. It's the mountains of North Carolina. I get out, tell the fellow what's going on.

He's giving me a hard time. He's asking me whose wife I've been running around with, you know, who cut my brake line. We're just joking and having a good time. It took a while. I had to wait. There was somebody ahead of me. And he keeps, you know, keeping up the banter, busting my chops, as you say. and I realized suddenly I wasn't responding very quickly.

It was like I couldn't think straight. Well, he fixed my car and put the fluid in, it got the pressure up, and I drove home. When I drove home, I started spiking a fever immediately. Huge high fever, throwing up, diarrhea, the whole bit, basically passed out, covered up in blanket, shaking, woke up blood gushing out of my nose, fever broke and I was okay, came within a fraction of a degree of dying. Had I known that little epidemic was going around, I could have used the herb that folks found actually far more effective than the vaccine following World War I in treating swinefoot. It's a member of the Artemisia family. It's called Sweet Annie, or Artemisia Anua. It means it's an annual Artemisia.

That's all it means. The plant grows huge. One plant's more than enough for one person. You get a few of these going to your garden. Your whole family can have protection against certain viruses. It's an antiviral herb. There are many antiviral herbs. That's one of the best.

Really, the whole Artemisia family is very good. The closely related sage family is good certain, especially viruses might give you a sore throat. You have herbs like OSHA and Lomation, which are you a very important. are good for respiratory viruses. You have Houtunia and Isatas. There are many, many antiviral herbs. They're herbs like licorice,

which actually increase the strength of other antiviral herbs. It's a big subject. As a prepper, you need to know about all of these antiviral herbs. Have them on hand, grow them. They can be very simple.

Some of them you can actually at the grocery store, like ginger. but in order for ginger to work, you have to crush the fresh juice out of the plant and take it hot. It's also very good for viruses that infect the sinuses and throat. You've probably heard of turmeric. Termic has certain antiviral properties, but it needs to be combined with a natural fat and some black pepper for the liver to be able to process it. So there's information here you need to learn about, not just merely have the plants on hand. You know, really, there are herbs for just about any virus.

I mean, like I said, God made the viruses. God made man. God made the plants to help us deal with the viruses. In early America, there were really bad viruses going around that they would call bone break fever. There's an herb that the Native Americans introduced to settlers called Boneset. Bone set would help with those fevers and had antiviral properties. People doubted it for years. I have herb books from the, I will just say, 1950s to 1980s saying it's all a myth.

And then the 1990s, scientists started looking into it and found out, yes, these herbs actually do help inhibit viral replication as well as help break a fever. There are other herbs that have both antiviral and antiseptic crops, such as the alliums, like garlic and onions. There's a lot of them. And to make this easier for everybody, you know, I have. have written several books. One of my books, probably my bestseller, is herbal medicine or preppers, homesteaders and permaculture people. I have a nice, long article of about, I don't know, 10, 12 pages about antiviral herbs and their use. It covers everything from like Sweet Annie to you may have heard recently people talking about the purple pitcher plant, the serenacea,

as having been used against smallpox. Freaking out of her monkey pox. so they're starting to look at what people use for smallpox. There are many herbs. I list really dozens and give you their uses, tell you how to use them, everything from the common cold to, you know, really serious, intense viruses. It's covered in that chapter.

Now, I don't expect everyone to buy my book. It'd be wonderful you did. Please buy my books, right? That's actually how I make a living. So it's important that you do buy my books. books, but I think this is such important information. I just wanted to make it available to as many people as possible. So on my substack, which is judsoncaryl.com, or if you look me up on substack, it's Judson Carroll, Master Herbalist. You will find I posted the entire chapter as an article.

You get it for free. Okay. If you want to, please sign up for my substack. I sent out a free newsletter every week with a free article. Please go by the whole book it goes along with. but this article is really important, I believe. Take it, print it out, forward it to all your friends and family. I'm giving you this information free that really most herbless would charge it a lot for. I don't think that would be moral to do in the face of what we're facing as a country, as a culture, as a world population right now. There are herbs that could be grown in hot weather climates. There are herbs for cool weather climates, for everything in between.

There are herbs that are used as teas and tinctures mostly. These are really easy to use, and you should be able to find four or five or, you know, maybe all 30 that you want to grow in your garden. And a lot of these you'll find in the wild. So my hope is you will find this article useful. I honestly believe, you know, as I always say, with freedom comes responsibility. if we can be responsible for our health and responsible for the health of our families and our neighbors, we can live as truly free, resilient, independent people. And, you know, for me, that's kind of what prepping is all about.

I don't want to, one, be without and in danger, but I also don't want to be dependent on government or dependent on another person because my self-interest is my own best interest. my self-interest is not going to be the best interest of another. So the information is readily available. I want you email me if you have any questions. This is a service I am offering you 100% free. You can email me at Judson atjusonkirl.com. You can email me at southern Appalachian herbs at email.com.

You can find me on social media, everything from Twitter to Truth Social. I'm on all the platforms except Facebook because they won't let me on. that's a you know that's another story they don't like me talking about antiviral herbs i was actually banned from twitter facebook and youtube for discussing antiviral herbs and making fun of dr paltz but anyway i'm back on twitter probably not for very long you will be able to find me me hopefully on true social and gab and mewe and you know prepernet and all kinds of different platforms i want you to ask me any questions i'm a certified master herbalist i actually began my herbal apprenticeship when I was 15. I've been doing this for decades now. I will give you all the

information I legally can give you resources so you can make your own best decisions to yourself and your family. I'll have a wonderful week. Look out for that monkey pox and anybody who's trying to take away your national sovereignty, supposedly for some kind of security against a virus, against viruses that can never be defeated. Stay safe, stay strong, keep learning. Remember, my people perish for lack of knowledge. Have a good one, and I'll talk to you next week.
