Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 I thought this was interesting and since we've been talking about smallpox vaccines lately, I thought I'd post this: This was Dr. Dean's response to recommendations for dealing with smallpox: " I think smallpox is probably a greater potential threat than anthrax, as there is virtually no remaining immunity in the population as a whole (the last immunizations were administered in the mid 1970's), and because of its aerosol/droplet mode of transmission. Also unlike anthrax, for which we have antibiotics and natural substances that will kill the anthrax bacillus and which are curative when administered in the early phase of the disease, there is no specific well-tested anti-viral agent against smallpox. Orthodox treatment is generally supportive, with a death rate approaching 30%. Nevertheless, I think there are a number of things that can be done to both prevent and treat smallpox. First, we should remember that Dr. Jenner recognized--in the late 18th century--that milkmaids who had contracted cowpox from the udders of infected cows were immune to smallpox. With this fact in mind, Jenner used the exudate from infected cows to " immunize " people against smallpox. Cowpox vaccine is available from many veterinary supply companies for about $20/vial (enough to vaccinate the whole neighborhood) and can be safely and easily administered to humans. After reconstituting the vaccine, place a drop of the vaccine on clean skin of the upper left arm, and lightly tap through the drop with a needle about ten times. The " needle taps " should not be so deep as to draw any blood. Bot off the excess serum, and allow to dry. It is not necessary to apply a dressing. This should impart complete immunity to smallpox. This tip should be credited to microbiologist Larry , author of Bacteriological Warfare, A Major Threat to North America--What You and Your Family Can Do Before and After. Likewise, Liquid Silver/Mild Protein (MSP 400) has also been effectively used against cowpox, chickenpox, and other viral diseases. I think it would probably also be lethal to smallpox viruses. Olive Leaf Extract has also been used against a variety of viruses, and may also be effective against smallpox. Finally, I'd try BHT (butylated hydroxtytoluene)--a food preservative antioxidant. BHT is extremely effective for the treatment of herpes simplex, the virus responsible for herpetic lesions of the skin (including herpes genitalis and shingles).
