A Healthy Way to Deal with the Anthrax Scare

By: Lawrence Stepanowicz, ND


Anthrax is big in the news. Government and media officials are being targeted as victims and people handling their mail, effected. A few have died.

A lot of people are running scared. And running to their doctor for a prescriptions for Cipro, which they see as a "magic bullet" against the disease.

That's dangerous.

Taking Cipro, even if you have been exposed to anthrax, is very risky. It's not a safe drug. Yes, it will kill the anthrax bacillus but it can carry some serious side effects. And taking it out of fear is foolish. It's mistaken to view Cipro as a preventative because it can only kill the anthrax bacillus if you happen to have it. An antibiotic is not a vaccine.

Your strongest defense against anthrax, or any disease, is a good Baseline of Health. With all your systems functioning at their best, your body has a better chance of beating off anything that comes its way -- including anthrax. A good Baseline of Health optimizes your immune system.

But aside from maintaining a good Baseline of Health, here are some additional things you can do to combat the possibility of an anthrax infection:

1. Take natural antibiotics to supplement your diet. Two of these are echinacea and garlic. Both kill anthrax. For garlic, use several cloves daily or a high quality garlic supplement. Should you start feeling ill, up your dosage of both of these by several times.

Here's what Britain's Garlic Information Center has to say about garlic and anthrax:

"Garlic is the only antibiotic that can actually kill infecting bacteria and at the same time protect the body from the poisons that are causing the infection. It is known that the most sensitive bacterium to garlic is the deadly Bacillus anthracis which produces the poison anthrax."

2. Start using a high quality antioxidant formula. A whey formula that's designed to raise your glutathione levels can also be used. And again, if you start feeling ill, up your dosage accordingly.

3. Have some colloidal silver on hand. If you feel cold or flu symptoms coming on -- symptoms similar to anthrax -- use this in a mister and inhale it directly into your lungs. (I personally use colloidal silver as a nasal spray if I feel a cold coming on since the nose is where colds begin.)

As an extra defense against cutaneous anthrax, apply colloidal silver to any cuts or skin lesions.

Chances are you will not be exposed to anthrax, but if you're unknowingly exposed, these measures could save your life.
