Anthrax

The threat of Biological Warfare is real. Concern is growing, as there isn't any way for vaccines or antibiotics to be distributed quickly enough in a crisis. The public must arm itself with preventative and therapeutic agents. The natural antidotes are readily available and are too often overlooked by health authorities.

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

	Garlic		[The Garlic Information Center in Britain indicates that deadly Anthrax is most susceptible to Garlic.]
	Olive Leaf Extract		[Ritchason, Jack N.D. "Olive Leaf Extract"]
	Vitamin C		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]
	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]
	Iron		Virtually all bacteria, viruses and fungi depend upon IRON as a growth factor. [Iron & Your Health, T.F. Emery, CRC Press, 1991] 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].
	Melatonin		It has been shown to help prevent lethal toxins from anthrax exposure. [Cell Biology Toxicology, Volume 16, 2000]
