Great suggestions! I would add oregano oil, and perhaps Potassium Iodide.

Curious about this myself, I did some poking around on the net and it seems that 1 yr is the norm for an expiration date. The link here: www.timestriponline.com...
explains that there is some buerocracy behind it all. That the drugs could actually be good a lot longer than stated on your bottle.

One website did say that tetracycline based drugs become toxic after they expire so stay away from those.

For radiation potassium iodide to prevent thyroid cancer. You can get NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) protective suits and masks which don't really provide radiation protection, but you can just wash fallout off (buy new in vacuum packs, never used, and follow instructions). But otherwise you'll want to just stay away from the radiation or build a shelter.

I'd be more comfortable with prescription pharmaceuticals in the event of a real emergency than alternative or "natural" methods. Those are good things to keep in the home, but I'm not going to be taking tea-tree oil if someone dumps anthrax on my head. NBC gear again will protect from most threats if you have time to prepare. But really the goal should be to avoid exposure rather than try to treat it. You probably won't have enough time.
