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.

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.

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.

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, Yersiniaenterocolitica 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.
