A reader wrote to mention that in a controlled, independently reviewed study published in the Journal of Trauma, a comparison of Traumadex and Quickclot in a porcine model (severed femoral artery) showed that Quickclot was much more effective.

Several long term storage food sellers report that storage food sales
have been brisk--even to the
point that there are now shortages of some
varieties of freeze-dried foods. A lot of customers are citing
concerns about the Asian
Avian Flu, especially after the
segment about how to prepare for a flu pandemic ran on Oprah last week.
Even the U.S. Government is now recommending storing food for "several
weeks" instead
of the "three day supply" mantra that they have been chanting
for decades. Think this though: If and when the A.A.
flu jumps species lines into an easily transmissible form, suddenly
EVERYONE is going to want storage foods so that they can hunker down
in self-quarantine. Consider that if
just five percent of American families increased their food storage
larder
by
one or
two
weeks, it
would devastate
the
supply chain for long term
storage
foods. Quit just "considering it", folks! Stock
up. Please take a look at the web sites for our advertisers that sell
storage foods. They
have a wide selection and some great prices. By patronizing any of
these vendors, you will help support SurvivalBlog:
