I got it for free.I read the whole thing.It gets two stars because I read the whole thing.I don't feel I can give it much of a recommendation. It has a lot rather vague suggestions in it along with a lot of misinformation. In one place it makes this claim "You need 100g or more of the following minerals a day: - Calcium - Magnesium - Phosphorus - Potassium". This is just not so. These nutrients are needed in gram and milligram levels, and some might actually be dangerous in such high dosages.In another place it says "The body requires tiny amounts (less than 100g a day) of trace elements such as: - Chromium - Copper - Iodine - Iron - Manganese - Selenium - Zinc". While it is true that you need less than 100 grams a day of these minerals, the real needed number is mostly in micrograms per day.It also claims that "...your daily sodium requirement which is 2400 milligrams". In actuality, this is the upper limit of what is considered safe, although I am not sure that the official numbers on this are meaningful for most people.There is a table of food storage suggested. For some reason the table suggests 1-2 cans of mushrooms per person per day. I don't know anyone that eats 1-2 cans of mushrooms per day.There are some vague suggestions on gardening, water storage, food storage, and security. One suggestion was to BO to a campground as a security measure.one idea that has great potential for being really bad is to use whatever limited electricity you might have to light up your house at night as a security measure. even suggests using what limited fuel you have to do so. personally, I do not want to have lights when no one else does.
