Five things you can do to prevent ANTHRAX, naturally
Written for An Ounce of Prevention, the newsletter of the Apple-A-Day
Service Group, an international organization of naturopathic
practitioners based out of Austin, Texas.
At Apple-A-Day Clinic we are receiving many calls from people
concerned about Anthrax and other terrorist-initiated diseases.
>From the news, we learn that people are so frightened that they are
taking antibiotics that cause dangerous side effects even though
they have no known reason to do so. Antibiotics are known to weaken
the immune system and cause digestive problems. Taking one as a
knee-jerk reaction for "prevention" could actually weaken your
bodyıs defenses for the future.
>From this tumultuous environment comes this newsletter with the
desire that this information brings itıs ounce of prevention with
viable solutions and peace of mind.
Here we will share with you what we at the Apple-A-Day Clinic
are doing for people who want to protect themselves from
susceptibility to Anthrax and other instruments of biological
warfare. A simple supplement protocol can help provide an
effective defense and help improve your health during this
time of specific concern.
1. GARLIC
The Garlic Information Center in England has announced that
deadly ANTHRAX is most susceptible to GARLIC!
Garlic is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that even blocks toxin
production by disease organisms [Journal of Nutrition, 3/2001].
This is particularly important regarding ANTHRAX because itıs
the metabolic toxins produced by anthrax that kills people,
not the anthrax bacterium itself.
In the featured test-study, garlic was found to be a more potent
antibiotic than many of the drugs used to treat anthrax including
penicillin, doxycycline, streptomycin, ampicillin, and cephalexin.
Further, garlic was found to be effective against multiple
strains of E. coli, Staph and other pathogenic bacteria.
[Fitoterapia, Vol. 5, 1984].
Fresh cloves of garlic and garlic powder may be beneficial,
but the most beneficial garlic is a prepared, concentrated
garlic that can deliver a high potency of itıs antibiotic
components especially the highly-researched compound "allicin."
[Warning: if the garlic has been irradiated by the commercial
spice manufacturer as a food-preservation method, then it is
useless in its antibiotic capacity. Do not rely on the
garlic powder in your spice rack.]
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 ed., Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore 1996],
and doesnıt have the side effects of destroying the bodyıs
beneficial intestinal flora. This makes fresh garlic and
its extracts and concentrates a premier antibiotic.
Garlic capsules that certify their allicin content are preferred.
You can calculate the milligrams to know the impact of your dose
-- calculate ten milligrams of allicin to be equivalent to apx.
150 units of penicillin.
The Apple-A-Day program uses a high-potency, odorless, supplement
of garlic grown in the high mountain valleys of California and
Oregon, processed by a proprietary quick, cool dry method
to preserve the full range of anti-microbial properties
of Allicin, Aliin, Thiolsulfanates, and Gamma and Glutamyl
Cysteines as well as the total sulfur compounds that also
play a role in preventing and overcoming Anthrax. This
garlic formula comprises one fifth of the anti-anthrax protocol.
2. SULFUR-BEARING ANTIOXIDANTS
The ANTHRAX bacterium's toxicity emanates from its metabolic
by-products that kills the human immune systemıs macrophage
cells which are vital to engulfing and eliminating bacteria.
Studies have shown that SULFUR-BEARING ANTIOXIDANTS (alpha
lipoic acid, N-acetyl cysteine, taurine) and VITAMIN C,
which elevate levels of L-glutathione, a natural antioxidant
within the body, counters the toxicity produced by anthrax.
[Molecular Medicine, 11/94; Immunopharmacology, 1/00;
Applied Environmental Microbiology, 5/79].
Thus, the sulfur compounds in garlic are particularly helpful.
Additionally, the Apple-A-Day protocol includes a supplemental
anti-oxidant that provides and assists L-glutathion
availability in the body. This supplement also provides
additional Vitamin C in the mineral ascorbate form...
the preferred form for anti-bacterial issues as opposed
to the ascorbic acid form. This anti-oxidant one part
of the anti-anthrax protocol.
3.
MELATONIN
Melatonin, an anti-aging, a sleep-inducing, longevity hormone
supplement has been shown to help neutralize the lethal toxins
from ANTHRAX exposure [Cell Biology Toxicology, Vol. 16, 2000].
It can be taken at bedtime in doses ranging from 10-15 mg.
Melatonin boosts L-glutathione levels during sleep thus providing
additional support to removing the by-products of
pathogenic organisms including anthrax.
In the Apple-A-Day protocol, a dose that promotes restful
sleep without any residual drowsiness on awakening is
the preferred dosage, usually 1 capsule before bed.
Melatonin is one part of the anti-anthrax protocol.
4. METAL-BINDING CHELATORS (IP6)
Virtually all bacteria, viruses and fungi depend upon
excessive iron compounds as a growth factor. [Iron &
Your Health, T.F. Emery, CRC Press, 1991] Iron-chelating
(removing) drugs and antibiotics (Adriamycin, Vancomycin)
are medically effective against pathogens through their
iron-removing action. Diseases such as the Plague
(Yersinia pestis), Botulism, SMALLPOX and ANTRAX c
ould all be potentially treated with non-prescription
metal-binding chelators that include a wide range of
supplement options including alginates, chlorella,
and silymarin as well as through amino acids such
as dl-methionine.
Phytic acid (IP6), derived as an extract from rice bran,
is the most potent natural iron and heavy metal chelator
and has strong antibiotic and antioxidant action. [Free
Radical Biology Medicine, Vol. 8, 1990; Journal
Biological Chemistry, 8/25/87]. IP6 greatly increases
the immune systemıs natural killer cell activity and
boosts the bodyıs natural cellular defenses by increasing
the levels of inositol phosphates in the cells.
IP6 has been found to have similarly effective heavy
metal-chelating properties as the germ-killing, tumor
reducing drug desferrioxamine [Biochemistry Journal,
9/15/93]. Note: IP6 rice bran extract should be
taken in between meals with filtered or bottled water
only (no juice).
IP6 in capsule form is used in the Apple-A-Day protocol
for people seeking Anthrax preventative measures.
5. WILD OREGANO OIL
The antibacterial, antiseptic action of wild oregano oil
has been described in recent medical literature and may
be helpful in fighting biological toxins. [Journal
Applied Microbiology, Vol. 88, 2000]. A potent natural
antibiotic, more powerful than many prescription
antibiotics, is oil of wild oregano.
One study showed that wild oregano oil completely
inhibited the growth of 25 pathogenic organisms such
as Staph aureas, E-coli, Yersinia ent., and Pseudomonas
aer. [Journal Food Protection, 7/01] Oregano oil has
been shown to be effective in eradicating intestinal
parasites in humans. [Phytotherapy Research, 5/00]
and is effective in eliminating the yeast/fungus
candida albicans.
Wild Oregano, which is quite different than the variety
on most kitchen spice racks, has over 50 antibacterial
compounds. Just one drop of wild oregano oil in a 4000
dilution potency effectively sterilizes contaminated
water. [London Times, 5/8/01].
Thus, Oregano Oil capsules is used in the Apple-A-Day
Anti-Anthrax Protocol as it helps clean up the internal
terrain by ridding the body of organisms that occupy
the immune systemıs attention.
The Apple-A-Day Protocol includes 1) concentrated garlic,
2) sulfur-bearing anti-oxidants, 3) Melatonin, 4) IP6
(heavy metal chelator, anti-microbial, and 5) Wild
Oregano Oil. With such a program, people can improve
their nutritional health while assisting their
inherent immune systemıs vigilance regarding the
threat of biological warfare agents.
Homeopathic medicines also provide a viable prevention
and, from the world-wide literature, viable treatment
of anthrax. However these "remedies" are best used
under the guidance of a trained homeopathic practitioner.
There is a time to utilize homeopathic remedies both
preventatively and acutely. The best time for homeopathic
treatment is IF there is an immediate concern or known
possibility of exposure, rather than an injudicious
"blanket" approach.
The homeopathic attenuation of Anthraxinum can be used
by people with possible exposure to help their bodyıs
immediate response.
