NATURAL ANTIDOTES TO BIOLOGICAL TOXINS

1. GARLIC

The Garlic Information Center in Britain indicates that deadly ANTHRAX
is most susceptible to GARLIC.

Garlic is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that even blocks toxin production
by germs. [Journal Nutrition, March 2001]

In one test garlic was found to be a more potent antibiotic than
penicillin, ampicillin, doxycycline, streptomycin and cephalexin, some
of the very same antibiotic drugs used in the treatment of anthrax.

Garlic was found to be effective against nine strains of E. coli, Staph
and other bugs. [Fitoterapia, Volume 5, 1984] Freshly cut cloves of
garlic or garlic powder may be beneficial.

The antibiotic activity of one milligram of allicin, the active
ingredient in garlic, equals 15 units of penicillin. [Koch and Lawson,
Garlic: The Science and Therapeutic Application, 2nd edition, Williams
& Wilkins, Baltimore 1996] Garlic capsules that certify their allicin
content are preferred and may provide 5-10 milligrams of allicin,
which is equivalent to 75-150 units of penicillin.

2. SULFUR-BEARING ANTIOXIDANTS

The anthrax bacterium's toxicity emanates from its ability to kill
macrophage cells which are part of the immune system.

Studies have shown that SULFUR-BEARING ANTIOXIDANTS (alpha lipoic acid,
N-acetyl cysteine, taurine) and VITAMIN C, which elevate levels of
glutathione, a natural antioxidant within the body, counters the
toxicity produced by anthrax. [Molecular Medicine, November 1994;
Immunopharmacology, January 2000; Applied Environmental Microbiology,
May 1979]

The above sulfur compounds can be obtained from health food stores and
taken in doses ranging from 100-500 mg.

3. VITAMIN C

Vitamin C should be the buffered alkaline form (mineral ascorbates)
rather than the acidic form (ascorbic acid) and should be combined with
bioflavonoids which prolong vitamin C's action in the blood
circulation.

The powdered form of vitamin C is recommended to achieve optimal dosing.
A tablespoon of vitamin C powder (about 10,000 mgs) can be added to
juice. Good products are Twinlab's Super Ascorbate C powder and
Alacer's powdered vitamin C.

4. MELATONIN

MELATONIN, a sleep-inducing hormone available at most health food
stores, has been shown to help prevent lethal toxins from anthrax
exposure. [Cell Biology Toxicology, Volume 16, 2000] It could be taken
at bedtime in doses ranging from 5-20 mg. Melatonin boosts glutathione
levels during sleep.

Of additional interest, one of the methods by which MUSTARD GAS works
is its ability to bring about cell death by depleting cell levels of
glutathione eMedicine Journal, April 9, 2001] So GLUTATHIONE is also an
antidote for mustard gas poisoning.

5. IRON and MEDAL-BINDING CHELATORS.

Virtually all bacteria, viruses and fungi depend upon IRON as a growth
factor. [Iron & Your Health, T.F. Emery, CRC Press, 1991] Iron-chelating
(removing) drugs and antibiotics (Adriamycin, Vancomycin, others) are
effective against pathogens. The plague (Yersinia pestis), botulism,
SMALLPOX AND ANTRAX could all be potentially treated with
non-prescription METAL-BINDING CHELATORS. For example, iron removal
retards the growth of the plague. [Medical Hypotheses, January 1980]
The biological activity of the botulinum toxin depends upon iron, and
metal chelators may be beneficial.

Infection Immunology, October 1989, Toxicon, July, 1997].

Phytic acid (IP6), derived as an extract from RICE BRAN, is the most
potent natural iron chelator and has strong antibiotic and antioxidant
action. [Free Radical Biology Medicine, Volume 8, 1990; Journal
Biological Chemistry, August 25, 1987]

IP6 has been found to have similar iron-chelating properties as
desferrioxamine, a drug commonly used to kill germs, tumor cells or to
remove undesirable minerals from the body. [Biochemistry Journal,
September 15, 1993] IP6 rice bran extract (2000-4000 mg) should be taken
in between meals with filtered or bottled water only (no juice).

6. OREGANO

The antibacterial, antiseptic action of plant oils has been described in
recent medical literature and may be helpful in fighting biological
toxins. [Journal Applied Microbiology, Volume 88, 2000] A potent
natural antibiotic, more powerful than many prescription antibiotics, is
oil of OREGANO.

One study showed that oregano completely inhibited the growth of 25
germs such as Staphylococcus aureas, Escherichia coli, Yersinia
enterocolitica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [Journal Food Protection,
July 2001]

Oregano has been shown to be effective in eradicating intestinal
parasites in humans. [Phytotherapy Research, May 2000]

WILD OREGANO, which is quite different than the variety on most
kitchen spice racks, has over 50 antibacterial compounds. Just one part
wild oregano oil in 4000 dilution sterilizes contaminated water.
[London Times, May 8, 2001]

Oregano powder from whole leaf oregano is available as OregamaxTM
capsules (North American Herb & Spice Co.). A spectacular development
in natural antibiotic therapy is the manufacture of oregano powder from
100% pure oregano oil, producing one of the most potent antibiotics
known. It has recently become available under the trade name OregacinTM
(North American Herb & Spice Co.). It costs about $1 per pill, but this
is a far cry from the $16 per pill for Vancomycin, known as most potent
prescription antibiotic.

7. NERVE GAS ANTITOXINS

Nature also provides nerve gas antitoxins. Nerve gas interrupts the
normal transmission of nerve impulses by altering levels of
acetycholinesterase, the enzyme that degrades the nerve transmitter
acetycholine. HUPERZINE A, a derivative of CHINESE CLUB MOSS, has been
suggested as a pre-treatment against nerve gases. [Annals Pharmacology
France, January 2000]

The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research conducted studies which
revealed that huperzine A protects against nerve gas poisoning in a
superior manner to physostigmine, a long-standing anti-nerve toxin drug.
[Defense Technical Information Center Review, Volume 2, December 1996]

Huperzine A is available as a food supplement at most health food
stores. Suggested dosage is 150 mcg per day. Pretreatment is advised
prior to nerve gas exposure.
--------------
SUMMARY. The threat of biological warfare is real and concern over
preparedness of the civilian population and medical professionals is
growing. There is virtually no practical way that vaccines, antibiotics
or other treatment can be delivered to a frightened populace in a timely
manner during a crisis. The current strategy of having an unprotected
citizenry travel to physicians' offices or hospitals to receive
prophylactic care or treatment is unfeasible. The public must be armed
with preventive or therapeutic agents in their vehicles, homes and the
workplace. Natural antibiotics and antitoxins are well documented in the
medical literature, but overlooked by health authorities. These
antidotes are readily available for the public to acquire and place in
an emergency biological response kit.

Bill Sardi - Biological Weapon Preparedness Health Researcher says if our government has no vaccine for the biological threat that may be released on the general population, Nature does.
New studies on a few select botanicals show they kill a wide range of virus, bacteria, and fungi more effectively than anti-biotics, and with no side effects. Bill discusses the biochemical effect of
anthrax and nerve gas, and what additional nutrients can help protect against its effect. For
extensive info and how-to, see http://www.lauralee.com/sardi2.htm

Bill Sardi: Medical Journalist
If you are tired of trying to sort out fact from fiction in health care.. If you are as confused about nutrition and health as are most Americans. If you believe (as I do) that health care begins at home, not the doctor's office.

How to Prepare for Biological Warfare
The threat of biological warfare is real and concern over preparedness of the civilian population and medical professionals is growing. There is virtually no practical way that vaccines, antibiotics or other treatment can be delivered to a frightened populace in a timely manner during a crisis.
The current strategy of having an unprotected citizenry travel to physicians' offices or hospitals to
receive prophylactic care or treatment is unfeasible. The public must be armed with preventive or
therapeutic agents in their vehicles, homes and the workplace. Natural antibiotics and antitoxins are well documented in the medical literature, but overlooked by health authorities.

Ed. Note: All sorts of remedies and such information abounds during frightening times. Before purchasing any of anything mentioned on this page do your own research including checking with family and / or local health authorities, free research available on the internet etc to double and triple check the advice offered by such sales people - Then if all advice checks out sufficiently compare prices. As you remember Y2K also fed on the fear factor and people now have buggy grains, spoiled food and medicine supplies, dead leaking batteries, and outdated medicines ... Radio shows sometimes serve as hypes to sell snake oil, you know - But then don't be an unprepared fool either ... Joyce
