You’ll have to handle things on your own. The ten items on this list are what you should keep stocked in your medicine cabinet, just in case the worst happens. After all, you should always be prepared! That’s the first rule of being a survivalist.
1) Antibiotics

2) Activated Charcoal Tablets
Activated charcoal is great for clearing out your digestive system of toxins. If you eat something that you shouldn’t have, such as undercooked meats, then you should take an activated charcoal tablet. They bind with the toxins in your body and help to flush them out of your system.

3) Imodium A-D
Although any anti-diarrheal agent will do, Imodium A-D is one of the better ones to have on hand. It has few side effects and works very well. Since diarrhea can leave you dehydrated, going untreated can be dangerous, especially when there are no hospitals or doctor’s offices around.
4) Ammonia Inhalant
You’ve no doubt heard about smelling salts. They were an old-fashioned way of waking up someone who has fainted or been rendered unconscious for one reason or another. Ammonia inhalants are the newest version of smelling salts, and they are quite effective. You never know when you’ll need them so keep a stash of them on hand.
5) Digestive Enzymes
Probiotics are the best known digestive enzymes. These are good to have because your digestive system will be in an uproar after your diet changes. Anything that you can do to soothe it will make you feel better. Plus, antibiotics kill all bacteria in your system to clear infection, these probiotics help to build back your gut bacteria to balanced levels for optimal health.

6) Aspirin
Aspirin is an excellent pain reliever. It can also help people who are having a heart attack, as it thins the blood slightly, keeping things flowing. These are the two main reasons why you need to keep some around. However, make sure that you’re buying the right kind of aspirin. You don’t want one with caffeine it in, as that can make things worse. If possible, purchase some acetaminophen and naproxen as well.
7) Benadryl
Benadryl, also known as an antihistamine allergy medication, is great for stopping allergic reactions in their tracks. People with seasonal allergies and food allergies tend to keep this medication on hand. It can help with bee and wasp stings as well. While you don’t need to purchase the brand name of this medication, you should add at least one antihistamine to your medicine cabinet.
8) Frankincense
Frankincense oil is more than one of the gifts presented by the Three Wise Men; it’s also a very powerful immune system booster. If you’re worried about being stricken with colds, the flu, or worse, then use this essential oil.
9) Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is an excellent mineral. You’ve probably seen people in the news for having wound up with blue skin after ingesting it. While you don’t want to do this, as it can have serious side effects, you do want to keep some of this mineral in your medicine cabinet for topical use. Colloidal silver has antiviral, antifungal, and antibiotic properties. That’s pretty impressive.
10) Boiron Oscillococcinum
Flu-like symptoms can make you feel miserable. This homeopathic flu remedy can take care of that problem. Even better, it won’t interact with any other medications that you’re taking.
