    About this ebook

    This program aims you at holistic readiness through:
    Enriched understanding for taking care of yourself, both by yourself, and as part of the larger world. A living holistic solution that amounts to growing lucky.
    Creating your own custom pandemic program, tailored to your mind, body, spirit, and community situation. You're starting that process right now. Keep going.
    Forming a buoyant community, relationship, beyond a support group, to help you.
    Learning how combinations kill. How rules fetter minds, that break when an earthquake or other disaster combines with an influenza (or other) epidemic.
    Reading fast. Books and situations and body language and so on.
    Growing simplicity. Intuitive simplicity that comes after learning to ride a bike, not the chaos in the learning crashes.
    Instant awareness. Pills and fast food are simple fast 'instant'. And not real solutions.
    Learn to face crashes, thuds and other nastys, instead of taking pills to avoid them.
    Shrugging off FUD, shake off your fears and attach to your opportunities.
    A healthier lifestyle, giving you healthier choices and better odds in a health crisis.
    We suggest skimming through the whole thing. Then quickly read it again. Seize the opportunity to learn how to read fast. Read it some times to enlarge your understanding. As you read please keep reading, cycle around another time instead of trying to understand everything on the first pass. Also, please aim for the wisdom of larger understanding, over simple agreement (or disagreement ). Be more lucky.
    The learning pattern we use is akin to learning to ride a bike. It's a relationship growing process that's intuitive and logical and learning-by-doing all at the same time.
    Try to explore parts of this in a group or groups. Look at creating a local community group whose members might support each other in a crisis.
    What happens here?
    We take a holistic approach. It's really a strategic survival approach that allows you to live a healthier life, more-or-less normally, while preparing for a pandemic.
    We look at kinds of pattern locks, things that lock our thinking and habits in place so we can't steer to avoid problems. We also look at ways to step over or shrug at problems, or even seize them and and transform them into opportunities.
    We play, both serious and fun play, with general and food awareness.

    I'm a coach - trainer - writer, from Vancouver, Canada, with some years experience in China. I like to start things, to grow things and people. Gardening. The gardening grows into mapping, of some kinds. Scenarios, design thinking, strategy, and such. Part of growing things is improving them. Please suggest improvements at: BazaarTales@windwaterwine.com Thanks, Vic

      Chapter 1 Introduction

      In the pandemic both normal and heroic medicine will fail, as will most centralized services including your normal food system. The centralized systems will overload and will discard or just filter out a lot of people. The 'they' in authority that we rely on will be victims too. Worse a whole lot of sick people who are out of sight and out of mind will remain there. If you are sick at home alone, you'll basically be abandoned in the chaos left by a broken system. You'll be left to rely on your local social network, if you have one.

      "Otherwise healthy people are completely overcome by the virus, developing all of the classic flu symptoms: coughing, headache, muscle pain, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, high fever, depression, and loss of appetite. But these are just some of the effects. Victims also suffer from pneumonia, encephalitis, meningitis, acute respiratory distress, and internal bleeding and hemorrhaging. -- Laurie Garrett The Next Pandemic?" in Foreign Affairs, July/Aug 2005
