Five things you can do to prevent ANTHRAX, naturally by Dr. Jack Tips

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

body¹s defenses for the future.

>From this tumultuous environment comes this newsletter with the

desire that this information brings it¹s 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 it¹s

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 it¹s 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 doesn¹t have the side effects of destroying the body¹s

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 system¹s 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
