Penicillin--grow
your own
Survivalist: How To
Treat Infections
One of the very first horrors most of us will face after the collapse will be an almost total lack of medical aid and medicines. Many of us and our loved ones will sicken and die over things that wouldn't have even been considered serious before the fall. The main reason for this is the almost total ignorance of modern man about our ancestral medical remedies that, up until just 60 years ago, had been passed down since the dawn of time from generation to generation. Below I'm going to teach you how to make the most important of all medicines, penicillin. You should start making your own as soon as possible and get the art down and have some in stock because when someone needs it, you won't have time to grow what you need. You'll need to have it ready. Later on I'll teach you some of the other arts you'll need to know...
Penicillin..The Oldest cure:
Penicillin has been around a lot longer than people think. In fact the American Indians used it centuries before the white man ever ventured onto America's shores. Oh, they didn't have syringes and bottles, but they had something almost as good. When a member of the tribe caught an infection, the medicine man would go out in the unspoiled woods and look for a particular type of greenish-blue mold. He would bring a large chunk of this stuff back to camp, clean it, then plaster it over the cleaned wound, which he washed beforehand with pure mountain water. Wrapping the wound in a piece of hand woven cloth made by one of the squaws, he would order the inured warrior or child to leave the dressing alone and get a lot of rest. Within days the infection would be gone and the wound would begin to heal nicely. This was the earliest known use of penicillin...
And although today most Americans couldn't tell a penicillium mold from a fungus, there are still easy ways to find and grow it for later use. This mold can be used either alive or dead. It doesn't kill the infection outright, but instead causes our body to boost its own immune system to the point it can kill whatever little beastie is eating on you. By exposing the body to penicillin, it reacts violently, assuming it's another critter out to attack it. This is a cry wolf that fools the body into creating more antibodies than it needs, which it then uses to kill the real infection. It was the first of the "wonder drugs" and is still one of the favorites in any good doctor's arsenal...

Finding Penicillin:
Believe it or not, that funky looking blue mold on that deli salami you bought is none other than penicillin! Most people peel that off their salami in disgust and toss it in the trash. That's a really dumb thing to do. Take that rind and keep it. Take a paring knife to it and scrape the mold off the peel and place it in a plastic container. Leave a piece of the meat in there with it to keep it alive. Puncture a small hole in the bottle so air can get in because penicillin is an aerobic bacteria, which means it needs air. That way, even after it eats up the meat and lies dormant, you will be able to revive the spores any old time you want by placing a small portion of it in with some more cured meal or damp bread or old cantaloupe, which is one of this particular mold's favorite foods. But always remember, even dead penicillin is good stuff. Never throw it out. It could save your life or the life of someone you love. Antibiotics are going to become as valuable as gold and as rare as chicken lips, so you'll have the market cornered.
To mass produce the stuff, get you one of the following: Cantaloupe, black soil, corn mash with sugar added. Make sure whatever you use is damp, then place it in a large sealed container that has plenty of air in it. Leave a small hole though, because it will eventually use up the oxygen and need more. Place your containers in a warm, dark place and let the mold do its thing. Yeah, it looks nasty alright, but remember, this is the good mold. You can make sure it's penicillin by starting out with salami or cantaloupe mold, which are two mediums where only penicillin will grow. I've included a pic so you'll have an idea what to look for. Remember, this stuff is a life saver, so put up with the grossness and do what's necessary...
How To Use It:
The safest way is the old Indian way, which is by making a poultice or patch and applying it to the afflicted area. But if the infection is internal, you'll need to dry the stuff up, grind it to a powder, then feed it to whoever is sick. As far as dosage goes, I myself would use it by the gram. One gram twice a day, orally. I wouldn't try injecting it because it's not been processed and could cause more harm than good. If after two days you see no improvement, double the dose. If it fails to help after this, then it's something beyond penicillin's power.And with the introduction of so many third world toilet bugs into our beloved land, there's going to be some that nothing can help. But as a rule, penicillin is a life saver, so memorize what I've shown you here.
From another post I read:
Should
any calamity befall you or your family that changes your situation to one of
survival, do you know what to do, where to go, how to get there, what to do
once you get there, how to provide for yourself and loved ones or what you will
need and how much? Most lack the forethought to plan ahead and prepare
themselves for any likelihood other then a flat tire, and even then only
because the automobile factory placed it in the vehicle for them. Feel free to
read, experiment and improvise what I have put on this site to potentially help
you one day.

HOW TO MAKE PENICILLIN TEA
In the event the medical system collapses or the
government does and the hospitals are swamped with dead or dying, antibiotics
in a post disaster/war-torn environment will be worth more then gold. Here
I will tell you how to make homemade penicillin tea which will be a life saver
when someone becomes septic from a simple little scratch in a post modern
medical society. First get some bread(preferebly wheat)and place it in a bag in
a warm place. Once blue-green mold starts to form, tear it apart into smaller
pieces but keep it together and let the mold cover all of the bread. Once it is
covered in mold, break it apart and place it in a large pot with 2/3 full of
water and put a lid on it. Now the water must be brought to 98 degrees roughly
and kept there for about 3 days. A simple trick is use the sun, use a black pot
and lid or spray paint it either or, and place it in the sun during the day
(depending on your part of the world direct sunlight may cause the liquid to
exceed 98F degrees killing the mold) then place it on a heating blanket, a
heated stone from the fireplace which will have to be rotated out through the
night or heating stone for reptile aquariums ect.... After 3 days you will have
a dark brown stinky broth, now scoop out the larger bits and filter the rest
through a towel or coffee filter. The brown liquid is a strong and nasty
tasting penicillin tea. This can be stored in a cold cellar or frozen for
later. If not frozen, ensure you filter it again should you need to use it
cause more mold may have formed. Do not boil the mixture while making the tea,
it will kill the mold that makes the penicillin, do not add sugar to try and
hide the flavor which is quite nasty by the way as this will promote
fermentation. Voila! penicillin tea! just drink 2 to 4 ounces every 4-6 hours
until signs of improved health. This may take several days to get over a
sickness, eating food and drinking plenty of water is crucial as energy for
your body to fend off the ravages of the sickness. Also, you can boil spruce
pine needles and make a pine tea in order to boost the immune system with
vitamin C. Pine needles have up to 4 times more vitamin C then orange
juice. That also helps stave off scurvy which makes your teeth fallout .
NOTE* Ensure that at no point that it boils. The penicillin is a secretion of the mold and releases into the water slowly.
NOTE**DO NOT STIR, JUST LET IT SIT!!!
You really have to fight your gag reflex with it, you can dilute it with more water to help weaken the taste as long as they are drinking the amount needed the 2-4 ounce tea can be diluted in a quart and that should help greatly.
Don't take it unless you get really sick, otherwise you may just harden bacteria already in your system making them penicillin tolerant. Also you will want to store it away from sunlight, your best bet is to freeze it until you need it. Otherwise just place it in the fridge in an airtight container by filling it to the top while it is warm and putting the lid on it. Place it in the fridge not freezer and as it cools it will create a vacuum seal. If intend to place in the freezer then only fill it 2/3rds of the way so it can expand.
NOTE* Which source is better to make penicillin tea? Bread, fruit or vegetable? The answer is bread (wheat bread to be exact), due to its increased surface area and the water's ability to get to the roots of the mold where penicillin is secreted. That and that fruit and vegetable molds can vary in type, some can give you gastrointestinal issues and fruit is more likely to make alcohol due to the fructose feeding the mold's fermentation.
NOTE** Ensure the mold you are cultivating is BLUE-GREEN, white mold will NOT produce penicillin.

Poster's notes:
I have not tried it myself.
I have stockpiled some antibiotics, myself, but they will run out
probably.
Here's a youtube video link on the subject. The video is just over 11
minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNbT4319duY
There are many other links on this subject. I can't vouch for any of
them.
Here's two sample pictures of what the mold looks like.
