Phyllis,

Ok, Good.

My interest is in products that will offer protection (outside of the

traditional orthodox medical channels) from bacteria, viruses, fungus,

parasites, and nuclear radiation. I am putting together a list of books and

supplements that I will post to the list for comment and discussion.

Dennis- I hope you can get this up quickly. I have ordered a number of things

on-line (homeopathics, surgical masks, essential oils) and the shipping time

seems longer than usual.

Folks,

First, this is definitely a legitimate health related issue, and is a

legitimate topic for the list. So, let's share it with everyone.

A coupla weeks ago I mentioned that peroxide, preferably food grade,

ozone, homozon would all protect one from virtually any infectious

disease. I split a friend's order and got 4 gallons of food grade

peroxide to have on hand with my ozone sauna. Boy, does the ozone sauna

seem cheap at the price now!!!! I want an oxygen collector!

I'm sure there are essential oils that are effective also, like tea tree

oil, that can kill any known pathogen. They say not to take it

internally, but you can. I read in a guide I bought that thyme is the

oil for anthrax, but it didn't give any details of how to administer, or

what to expect. Grapefruit seed extract, or some say better, Agrisept,

are safe for humans to consume & will kill virtually any pathogen.

We take 12-25 drops of 35% peroxide in a glass of water, several times a

day for other diseases, so why not the same for anthrax, plague or

smallpox? Food grade peroxide can be put in an IV drip, but I forget how

much to put. SOmeone posted that last week. Please post it again on this

thread. I remember that the dose used in the influenza outbreak in 1918

was .125%, and somewhere else that MD's now use .075% but someone posted

better information about a week ago. Anyway, there is a range. It isn't

that exact.

Further, I find it difficult to believe that Homozon wouldn't protect

one from any of the pathogens that can possibly be used. Cotton masks

protect from getting pneumonic plague or other pathogens that

contaminate by traveling on drupelets of water in the air we breathe.

The Taliban are said to have chlorine & phosgene gases, old chemicals

from WWI. You need a gas mask for them, but dispersing them is extremely

problematical on any large scale. Like the current antrhax scare -- it

seems like a lot on TV, but it's really only 10-20 people out of 200

million! Not scary at all, IMO.

They are also said to have the possiblility of nuclear dirty bombs. Not

fissible bombs that explode like an H-bomb, but conventional explosives

contaminated with any potent radiation. Bin Laden was caught trying to

buy a medical waste disposal company a few years ago, where it is

expected he hoped to accumulate radioactive wastes he could use in dirty

bombs.

I know nuclear exposure can be successfully handled nutritionally, but I

only remember vits A, E, C & selenium, plus megadoses of the best

multi-vites & colloidal minerals. Radiation poisoning only does damage

because it destroys all of certain essential nutrients, and the disease

radically consumes others. Keeping the patient properly nutrified will

help, with special attention to balanced amino acids, from a perfect

source like bean sprouts. I would want long-chain sugars, like those

aloe is so rich in. And, the Japanese have had one or two major

radioactive leaks that they dealt with by giving everyone lots of

blue-green algae. I understand they did not have a lot of disease as a

result, as one might expect.

So, I think most possible negative situations can be handled by people

who keep their heads, and spend a little time learning some basics.

Following up on Jim's note on nutritional elements re: radiation, I suggest

typing two words 'miso' and 'radiation' into a Google search. A lot of

information on the usefulness of good old miso soup for handling radioactive

materials in the body.

From:

http://www.amida.com.au/culture/humblemiso.html

" Perhaps the most extraordinary effect of miso is its ability to help in the

reduction of radioactivity. During the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and

Nagasaki, it was found that people working in miso factories who consumed miso

daily were less likely to die from the radiation poisoning.

Similarly, after the nuclear accident in Chernobyl, miso exports to Europe

increased in unprecedented numbers to combat the radiation effects. A Japanese

doctor, Dr Itou, found in his experimentations with laboratory rats that miso

could help eliminate the radioactive materials the rats were contaminated with. "

and this...

Earl Mindell's " Soy Miracle " offers the following fascinating properties of

miso. " Studies have shown

that miso may help rid the body of radioactive elements. According to the

Japanese Economic Newswire, Dr.

Shinichiro Akizuki, of St. Francis Hospital in Nagasaki, observed that

physicians who came to Nagaski to treat

atomic bomb victims in 1945, after the bomb was dropped, did not suffer from

radiation poisoning. In his book " Food and Predispositions " , Dr. Akizuki

theorized that compounds in miso soup and seaweed may have protected the

physicians from the harmful effects of residual radiation. Dr. Akizuki's book

was sold in Europe; after the Soviet nuclear reactor accident at Chernobyl,

European orders for Japanese miso skyrocketed. "

Online info. seems to indicate that Hacho Miso is the most effective type.

May all beings be happy and well

How expensive was the H2O2 that you bought,

if the sauna is cheap in comparison?

To those people that recommend ozone, remember that it doesn't

store very well, so you'll need an alternative power source,

and an oxygen source. IE. make sure your O2 tank is full,

and get an invertor+battery that will run your ozonator

for however long you need it to run, in case something disrupts

the power in your area.

Just as long as you are also taking (whatever it is that protects

you against kidney/etc damage) at the same time as you are taking

the H2O2 internally.

I got the peroxide just in case. For example, if the caseload were

greater than I could handle in the sauna.... peroxide. Or, if the person

couldn't get to the sauna, etc. As a backup. Figure maybe 2-4 oz per

person as a from-the-hip guess.

I'm getting an oxygen concentrator soon. I've got a line on a good

refurbished model.

That risk is not really defined, considering some people with cancer

take 75 drops in a glass several times a day. None of the practitioners

who claim they are seeing kidney damage can actually point to the

peroxide as the culprit, and they never mention what doses were

involved. So, translating that scanty warning to reality means 12-25

drops several times daily is not enough to cause kidney trouble. And,

even if it were, I doubt the few weeks/months of necessary use would do

it. This risk is blown way out of proportion, no one can prove me wrong

with actual data, and I've got $100 that says so!

And, it beats anthrax, smallpox or the pneumonic plague any day of the

week!

Special Report

HOW TO PREPARE FOR BIOLOGICAL ARMAGEDDON

By Bill Sardi

Knowledge of Health, Inc.

Copyright 2001

As you read this document, lethal biological toxins may have already been

released into the environment in your hometown, awaiting a two-week incubation

period before symptoms appear among the citizens of your community, giving time

for terrorists to jump on an airplane and exit the country with little or no

trace of their involvement in a catastrophe that was once only imagined in

fictional books and movies.

Readers may not give credence to this report, believing it is just another scare

tactic written by someone with a hidden agenda. Please pay careful attention to

the responsible sources and dates cited in this report.

Here is the reality of it all. A September 17, 2001 report by the Associated

Press indicates Osama bin Laden, the mastermind Islamic terrorist, has been

training troops how to use chemical and biological weapons. Foreign terrorists

are onshore, mingling among us, and are ready to strike. The September 24 issue

of TIME Magazine reveals that Islamic terrorists have been planning to disperse

biological or chemical agents from crop dusting planes. [Time.com] About 20 of

the people arrested after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center

towers had obtained special driver's licenses allowing them to transport poisons

or other hazardous materials. [New York Times, Sept. 26, 2001]

On September 24, just two weeks following the September 11, 2001 terrorist

aircraft attack on the world trade center towers in New York City, the World

Health Organization warned nations to prepare for the possibility of biological

or chemical weapons attack. T. Osterholm, state epidemiologist at the

Minnesota Department of Health who is affiliated with the Infection Control

Advisory Network, told NBC News that the United States is unprepared to deal

with attacks using biological weapons. [MSNBC September 24, 2001] Doctors

around the country are being alerted to look for early symptoms of biological

toxins in their patients. [The Free Lance-Star, Fredericksburg, Virginia, Sept.

26, 2001] Hospitals in Britain have been issued guidelines on dealing with

biological or chemical warfare. [London Times, Sept. 25, 2001]

It's not as if political leaders and health authorities were totally unaware of

the threat. Two years earlier Osterholm was quoted as saying: " I firmly

believe that it is not a matter of 'if' a bioterrorism event will occur in the

United States, but rather 'when, where, and how large?' " [American Journal

Infection Control, December 1999] In the same year, Stern of the

Council on Foreign Relations said " ..improved technology has made biological

attacks resulting in hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths all but

inevitable. " [Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 5, No. 4, 1999]

The World Isn't Prepared

In the event of a biological or chemical attack, P. Fidler of the Indiana

School of Law, writing in the medical journal Clinical Infectious Diseases,

says: " Mass casualties and the 'worried well' would haunt hospitals and health

care facilities that barely cope with normal health care needs. Confusion and

fear would swamp infectious disease specialists trying to control the aftermath

of an attack with biological weapons. Supplies of antibiotics and equipment

would likely be quickly used up. Efforts to treat the sick and control the

spread of the pathogenic microbe would be hampered by shortages of medical staff

and absenteeism. Public order would be imperiled. " [Clinical Infectious

Diseases, Volume 33, 2001]

A survey of 186 hospitals in four Northwestern states this year found only 20%

had plans for biological or chemical weapons incidents. [Los Angeles Times,

September 22, 2001]

The public is alarmed, but possibly misdirected. An army supply store in

Gardena, California sold 20,000 gas masks in 3 days. [New York Times, September

21, 2001]

Gas masks would provide some protection against nerve gases, but not biological

attacks which are more likely to occur.

Vaccines not available

" The biological threat is one we are not adequately prepared for, " says Dr.

Margaret A. Hamburg of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a Washington think tank.

She says there are only 12 million doses of smallpox vaccine in the nation now

with a contract for 40 million more, but these won't be ready anytime soon.

There are barely enough doses of anthrax vaccine to cover the movement of troops

to any overseas battle zone. This leaves the majority of the population at

risk.

As if working with foreknowledge of an impending biological attack, the US

government ordered 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine from a British company

in April 2001. Delivery of the vaccine won't begin till mid-2004. Recall that

smallpox was eradicated from the planet in 1980. [NewsMax.com, April 23, 2001]

The Pentagon has also ordered the development of 15 new vaccines over the next

12 years at a cost of $3.2 billion, which would counter some biological warfare

attacks. But these vaccines won't be available anytime soon. [united Press

International, September 24, 2001]

Health authorities have known about the shortage of vaccines and antibiotics for

some time now. A 1998 report said: " There are insufficient supplies of

medicinals and trained personnel to cope with a massive biological warfare. "

[Critical Review Microbiology, Volume 24, 1998]

The Doctors for Disaster Preparedness Newsletter says two things can be said

about antibiotics with reasonable certainty: " In a mass casualty event,

supplies will quickly be depleted. And in a major terrorist threat, mass

distribution channels could either break down or be shut down in an attempt to

prevent wider dissemination of toxic agents. Any centralized response system is

very likely to fail. " [Doctors for Disaster Preparedness Newsletter, Volume 16,

January 1999]

Ken Alibek of the Batelle Institute, says vaccines are of limited value in an

attack and says efforts should be concentrated on how to treat victims of

biological weapons. [New Scientist, September 19, 1998]

Which toxins are we most likely to be exposed to?

There is a long list of potential biological and chemical agents that could be

used to attack civilian populations. The most feared biological weapons are

anthrax, smallpox, and botulism and the plague, and they are the most likely

toxins to be employed by terrorists.

The US Department of Defense says that anthrax is the preferred biological

warfare agent because:

a.. It is highly lethal, 100,000 times deadlier than the deadliest chemical

warfare agent.

b.. It is a silent, invisible killer

c.. Inhalational anthrax is virtually always fatal.

Anthrax is very easy to produce in large quantities and low in cost of

production. It can be stored almost indefinitely as a dry powder. A World

Health Organization report indicates 50 kilograms (110 lbs.) of dry anthrax

powder used against a city of one million people would kill 36,000 people and

incapacitate another 54,000. One terrorist group has attempted to employ

existing commercial aerosol equipment for this purpose. [W. Seth Carus,

National Defense University, Strategic Forum No. 127, 1997]

On a clear, calm night, a light plane flying over a major city carrying 100

kilograms of anthrax spores and equipped with a sprayer, could deliver a fatal

dose of anthrax to up to 3 million people. [New Scientist, May 11, 1996]

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta have created a model

which estimates $26 billion of economic damage from the exposure of just 100,000

persons to anthrax. [Emerging Infectious Diseases, April-June, 1997]

Between April 1997 and June 1999, some 200 threats of anthrax bioterrorism were

made. All the threats proved to be false. Some 13,000 " victims " were subjected

to decontamination procedures. [Journal Public Health Management Practice, July

2000] There is good reason to believe these false threats will one day become

real.

Anthrax is a bacterium (Bacillus anthracis) that kills about 80% of individuals

without treatment. Anthrax cannot be transferred from one person to another.

Symptoms begin 1-6 days after exposure. Initial signs of inhaled anthrax are

flu-like symptoms, dry hacking cough, low-grade fever and weakness. As the

infection advances symptoms such as shortness of breath, low blood pressure and

hemorrhaging occur. [Chest, November 1999] Infected persons may improve after

2-4 days and then death follows. Penicillin and doxycycline are antibiotics of

choice and treatment must begin prior to the onset of symptoms. Antibiotics

keep patients alive till their immune system can build up immunity.

Smallpox is a virus which is contagious and kills about 30% of infected

individuals. Civilians were routinely vaccinated against smallpox until global

eradication of this virus caused a phase out of vaccine production. Smallpox

has an incubation period of about 10-14 days. Red rashes are the dominant

presenting symptom, which appear as hundreds of pimples on the face. Flu-like

symptoms of fever, headache, vomiting and weakness occur. Complications include

pneumonia, kidney damage and blindness. Smallpox spreads via mucus membrane

exposure from patient to patient.

Botulism (Clostridium bolulinum) is the disease that occurs with improper

canning of foods. Symptoms usually begin 18-38 hours after infection and

include weakness but may be delayed for a few days, and include blurred vision,

slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, vomiting and diarrhea. Clostridium

botulinum may be spread by aerosol or food contamination.

The plague (Yersinia pestis) is another potential toxin that could be used

against civilian populations. Treatment with antibiotics is effective.

[british Medical Bulletin, Volume 54, 1998]

Obstacles to toxin delivery

While there is a wide selection of toxins that can be launched against the

public at large, fortunately these toxins are not easy to deliver in municipal

water supplies or via airborne contamination. Nerve gases must be delivered in

tunnels or indoor environments (i.e. air conditioning vents) to reach proper

concentrations, such as the Japanese religious cult that released sarin nerve

gas in a train tunnel. Water supplies are filtered and cleansed repeatedly, as

well as chlorinated, prior to entering piping systems, so water contamination

would have to occur somewhere after water treatment. Experts indicate there is

more danger from blowing up Hoover Dam and incapacitating water supplies to

California than there is from any toxin added to Lake s behind the dam.

Even truckloads of toxins would be diluted beyond detection levels within a

short period of time.

It is likely that some biological toxins have already been released into the air

and water in the past but never were properly administered to reach toxic

levels. If it weren't for these obstacles it is likely that biological warfare

would already have been employed with tragic consequences. These facts can

somewhat put the public at ease. However, numerous reports indicate there are

major advances in aerosol particle technology that now make it possible to

deliver airborne biological weapons, hence the fear over Osama bin Laden's

secret army on US soil that has obtained training on how to fly aircraft and

visited sites where crop dusting planes were housed.

Natural antidotes to biological toxins

Americans have grown so accustomed to relying upon prescription medications that

they will probably have difficulty believing there are natural compounds as

close as the kitchen cupboard that are potent antidotes against biological

warfare. These natural antibiotics and antioxidants may give unvaccinated

people who have been exposed to biological or chemical weapons enough time to

secure professional care. They may even save lives.

It is a fact that chaotic events will make it difficult to obtain appropriate

treatment even if it were available. So we must learn more about natural

antidotes. Furthermore, it is clear that antidotes to biological attacks need

to be employed at home or the workplace in an expedient manner. The idea of the

masses running to obtain medical care or vaccines at doctor's offices, clinics

or hospitals needs to be abandoned if civilian defense against biological

weapons is to become a reality.

Natural rescue remedies

Since anthrax is the most feared toxin it will be addressed first. 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] Before vaccines were

developed against polio, garlic was used successfully as a prophylactic. 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, & 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.

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. 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.

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.

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 anthrax 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).

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.

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. [ls Pharmacology France, January 2000] The Walter 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.

Hi All,

I'm throwing in a few things as these posts are showing up.

First thing I remember is that in the case of radiation exposure, the

most important substance---above all--to have on hand is a LOT of

potassium iodide. I'm not even too sure what " a lot " signifies at the

the moment. I suggest a web seach for info, and for suppliers---and keep

your fingers crossed on those. There was only one known supplier on the

net prior to y2k, and I don't recall who that was.

Jim, I'm a totally inactive dist. for hydroxygen but I still seem to

have the page they gave me:

http://www.globalhealthtrax.org/cgi-bin/d.cgi/13078/home.html

I should have several files saved from YL on the use of the essential

ois for bio-terrorism. I'll see if I can send them by email

Later,

Sharon

Chlorophyll is also a very effective nutrient for detoxing from radiation,

and it doesn't have any othe negatives if soy...

Re: Bio Hazard First Aid

Following up on Jim's note on nutritional elements re: radiation, I suggest

typing two words 'miso' and 'radiation' into a Google search. A lot of

information on the usefulness of good old miso soup for handling radioactive

materials in the body.

Re: Bio Hazard First Aid

Folks,

First, this is definitely a legitimate health related issue, and is a

legitimate topic for the list. So, let's share it with everyone.

A coupla weeks ago I mentioned that peroxide, preferably food grade,

ozone, homozon would all protect one from virtually any infectious

disease. I split a friend's order and got 4 gallons of food grade

peroxide to have on hand with my ozone sauna. Boy, does the ozone sauna

seem cheap at the price now!!!! I want an oxygen collector!
