Medical Missionary Kit or Emergency Car Kit













WHAT ARE THE CONTENTS OF A MEDICAL MISSIONARY KIT TO CARRY IN YOUR CAR?

*(It may take 6-7 months for her to put your own kit together. It does require some financial investment! Part of the funding can come from offerings (separate from tithe money) as this IS the Lord’s work! 

1) THE BAG - Can purchase at Walmart in the camping section; Coleman brand purple lunch bag; approximately 12”-13” high x 12” wide x 10” deep.
*(Note: I found an almost identical bag with an additional large zippered pocket on the front, insulated, for $2 at my local Goodwill. I have seen other bags there that would work as well. If we pray and ask, God can and will provide all that we need to do His work!)

  • *Clarified charcoal water in eye dropper bottle -- (mix 1 tsp activated charcoal in 1 pint of distilled water and allow to settle for 24 hours. Gently siphon off the water at the top of jar without disturbing the solid particles which have settled to the bottom.) A couple drops every hour to eyes infected with “pink eye” brings great relief and combined with warm moist packs to the eyes for 2-3 days may even eliminate the infection.
  • *Swimmer’s Ear Drops in eye dropper bottle— (mix white vinegar and alcohol 50:50; instill 3-4 drops to each ear after swimming to prevent and/or treat otitis externa. Do NOT use if patient has ear tubes or otitis media infection!)
  • *Alum powder—a pinch of this placed on a canker sore in the mouth works wonders, but do not swallow!!!
  • *Psyllium husk (psyllium husk is the husk of the seeds of the plantain plant—also known as unflavored Metamucil, can be found in pharmacy) (mix 1 part psyllium husk to 2 parts activated charcoal in Ziploc bag, close and mix powders well, add water to thick paste consistency, pat out to ¼” thickness, may cut to size, makes excellent charcoal poultice that can be placed directly on skin. Can be kept in Ziploc and frozen for later use.)
  • *Antibiotic Salve— use herbal if available, for wound care
  • *B&W ointment— (B&W stands for Burns & Wounds) This ointment is part of a burn treatment protocol developed by an Amish man named John W. Keim. It is “a soothing salve used as an aid for cuts, burns, sunburns, bruises and tissue injuries.” {Ingredients: Honey, Lanolin, Olive Oil, Wheat Germ oil, Marshmallow root, Aloe Vera Gel, Wormwood, Comfrey Root, White Oak Bark, Lobelia Inflata, Vegetable Glycerin, Bees Wax, Myrrh.} I personally know of two testimonials of people with severe burns who have had remarkably quick relief from pain and amazing recoveries from their injuries by using this protocol and salve. Amish laymen do give workshops in their use of this remedy and their burn protocol, and although I have not yet been able to attend one I hope to soon. The only address I have available for this product and more information is (Wholesome Specialties, 206 Graves Rd, Mills, PA 16937) There is also a book that explains their method, entitled Burn Aid by John W. Keim, copyright 2006. There is no ISBN# for this book, but the address in the back is: (The School of Self-Applied Prevention, PO Box 269, Middleburg, OH 43319) 

REFERENCE BOOK(S) TO CARRY

  • Study the Medical Missionary Training lecture notes, your own notes, the reading assignments and begin a small note book (or collection of 4x6 index cards with hole punched in one corner and all attached by a metal ring) Make notes of specific remedies, hydrotherapy treatments, etc., that you can carry with you and refer to.
  • I also carry a smallish “herbal” in the front pocket of my bag, Ten Essential Herbs by Lalitha Thomas. This is NOT an SDA publication and does contain some secular views, but is an overall excellent reference. Please note, though, that I do place my new learning of remedies from the Spirit of Prophecy and from this class in higher regard than this book!
  • Burn Aid by John W. Keim (see above)
  • Quick reference CPR Card
  • Small First-Aid Reference book, (optional) 


FROM THE PROPHET OF THE LORD:

The Lord gave me great light on health reform. In connection with my husband, I was to be a medical missionary worker. I was to set an example to the church by taking the sick to my home and caring for them. This I have done, giving the women and children vigorous treatment. I was also to speak on the subject of Christian temperance, as the Lord's appointed messenger. I engaged heartily in this workand spoke to large assemblies on temperance in its broadest and truest sense.” {1SM 33.2}

I was instructed that I must ever urge upon those who profess to believe the truth, the necessity of practicing the truth. This means sanctification, and sanctification means the culture and training of every capability for the Lord's service.” {1SM 33.3}
