THE – SURVIVAL TAB – CONCEPT

When The Survival Tabs were formulated, a host of factors were considered in order to adapt them to their purpose as a lightweight, emergency, life-sustaining food ration:

1. The less intake of food, the more efficient the body becomes. Basically, when food intake is reduced, it remains in the digestive tract longer and assimilates more completely.
2. Generally, of the food we eat, a great deal of it is not digested and used up as calories. The Survival Tabs are 100% digestible as well as completely assimilated by the body.
3. The quality of the food we eat is more important than the quantity. Poor quality protein, carbohydrates and fat can put a strain on the digestive organs, especially the kidneys.
4. In Survival Tabs , we have used protein of a high biological value, which is 100% utilized. This helps protect the body from cannibalism of its own protective tissues. The fat is composed entirely of fatty acids which provide the essential ingredients of fat. The carbohydrates are of a high quality and 100% utilized.
5. In 90% of all survival situations, some additional food will be available. The Survival Tabs are designed to provide that “Margin of Survival”. For example, if one were lost in a jungle area, one might have to find grubs, insects, berries, small animals or whatever to eat. One would have to adapt to the circumstances quickly until he found his way out or was rescued. The Survival Tabs would be that “Margin of Survival”, along with whatever one could gather, to sustain oneself as long as necessary. Another example would be desert or sea survival. In these cases, little supplemental food may be available. The Survival Tabs would sustain one as long as he would expect to live normally, before succumbing to the elements or dehydration.

There have been several individuals who have lived on a diet of Survival Tabs exclusively for 4-5 months. This was done out of necessity, because of their inability to eat or keep down other foods. In controlled studies which we have conducted, we’ve found that when living on a diet of The Survival Tabs exclusively, one loses from 5 to 8 pounds the first week. This is mainly due to the emptying of the intestines of all food previously eaten. After the first week, there is a leveling off and a minimum weight loss of 0-2 pounds per week. This is in consideration of a normal active daily routine.

The Survival Tabs provide greatly larger amounts of calories and nutrition than any other product available. The high-caloric content, combined with a carefully balanced amount of all the essential nutrients, provides a “state of the art” product, as far as survival rations are concerned. The Survival Tabs are a perfect lightweight, emergency food ration for use in survival kits. They are a vast improvement over candies and other quick-energy fixes that are currently in use.

Federal fire officials accelerated their attack Sunday on a smoky wildfire that threatened more than 500 homes in central California as they raced to control the fast-moving blaze before hotter, drier weather sets in, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman said. The fire burning in and around the Sequoia National Forest doubled in size overnight and came within a mile of a community about 30 miles northeast of Bakersfield where sheriff’s deputies walked the streets with bullhorns and knocked on doors as they urged residents to evacuate, authorities said.

“They were out there walking the streets through the night,” Forest Service spokeswoman Cindy Thill said. “I just got off the phone with someone who said the sheriffs got to them at 2 this morning.” The Shirley Fire had burned 3.1 square miles of bone-dry trees, grass and chaparral and destroyed at least two structures, fire spokesman Jay Nichols said. The blaze, which broke out Friday night, was 10 percent contained. It was fanned Sunday afternoon by 17- to 20-mph wind gusts at the mountain ridges, Nichols said.

He said fire officials anticipated that the blaze will spread toward the evacuated homes in Wofford Heights, a community sandwiched between the fire and Lake Isabella, a popular recreation spot. More than 1,100 firefighters were battling the blaze in steep, rugged terrain. They were aided by retardant-dropping air tankers and water-dropping helicopters that can fly throughout the night. More fire crews were expected to join the fight. Authorities planned to keep the augmented crews working through a “swing shift” so they don’t lose any time during shift changes to make progress, Forest Service spokeswoman Jennifer Chapman said.

“Our current outlook for the forecast is such that we are really ramping up suppression operations over the next couple of days because it’s going to be even hotter and dryer at the end of the week,” she said. The Forest Service said that camping, horseback riding, rafting and other activities in the Sequoia district were so far unaffected by the blaze.
