Based upon evidence exhibited by most of the "most likely" participants to be involved in any "large scale", organized military or terrorist-induced conflict.....I offer the following information----which may be of value/interest to the general list membership.
Dr. Thomas E. Levy, and associates, have conducted and released some rather compelling data relative to the possible effects of several (of the most likely) biological agents
to be the source of future Bioterrorism incidents. To wit: The most likely candidates.....beyond Anthrax and Smallpox, seem to be Plague (pneumonic/bubonic plague), Tularemia (especially Francisella tularensis) and Botulinum Toxin (as produced by Clostridium botulinum). A majority of cases of plague can be, logically, assumed to occur--naturally---as bubonic----weaponized forms of septicemic and/or pneumonic strains can be anticipated among potential military insults.
Bubonic Plague insults (in general) do respond to rapid, intensive, treatment protocols.....especially if addressed within the first 2 to 6 days. Colloidal Silver HAS EFFECTED quite powerful, suppressive/corrective effects (in in vitro) on this form. If left untreated, the death rate usually exceeds 50%. "However, Septicemic plague is almost uniformly fatal when left untreated". * Pneumonic plague...similar to anthrax, requires aggressive treatment
to avoid fatality. Although Broad-spectrum antibiotics (e.g. Streptomycin, gentamicin, doxycycline, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol....do exhibit useful effects-----if introduced EARLY IN THE INFECTIOUS STAGES. Vaccine is no longer available for the plague.
Tularemia is a disease caused by the Fancisella Tularensis bacteria. Though not a potential bioweapon familiar to most people----the extreme contagiousness, especially from the inhalation form---makes it a very enticing candidate for bioterrorism. Usually not considered a major fatality threat....if left untreated, pneumonic tularemia can be expected to inflict 33% mortality. Early, proper treatment should keep the mortality to 2% of patients. However,
data seems to indicate that WEAPONIZED strains may prove to be much less responsive to antibiotic address.
Botulinum represents a more consequential threat, especially because of the power ans speed of its effects. Botulinum-generated toxin is extremely powerful (considered by some to be the MOST powerful, single, toxic agent on the planet), e.g. one gram---properly distributed, could kill one million people. If inhaled, a dose 1/100 of the swallowed dosage would be sufficient to cause death. The frightening prospect for Botulinum is that it is the TOXIN derivative....not the bacteria itself.....which is the killing agent. As there is no biogical component in the toxin fraction----colloidal silver is of INCONSEQUENTIAL EFFECT as a protocol modality against it. However, there is GOOD NEWS for those seeking a helpful response to ALL THREE of these biological weapons. Dr. Levy and associates have utilized protocols first developed by individuals like, Klenner (1957), Calarese (1985), Jahan (1984, and Dey (1966).....to confirm a VERY POWERFUL ADDRESS in aiding ! an effective response to all three of these insults. The protocols are based, primarily, upon the implementation of Vitamin C, intravenously in the acutely poisoned. As a prophylactic, daily dosages of 5000 to 6000 mg of
any form of ascorbic acid have demonstraed to be UNUSALLY effective in aiding the body to avoid the "scurvy-like" condition which enables a large panoply of bacterial insults to proliferate...
and to rapidly metabolize the increased vitamin C...which has become available.
It is of special note to realize that the vitamin C exhibits a VERY beneficial effect in
cancelling the effects of the Botulinum toxin....along with potential compromises usually inflicted by NEARLY ALL toxin related insults. Vitamin C therapy demonstrated VERY POWERFUL
efffects on a "group of 24 pesticides, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and gaseous pollutants".
Additionally, "patients who were clinically ill from the effects of this group of toxins invariably showed dramatic improvement from the infusion of enough vitamin C." It should be noted that these (infectious agents/toxins) were predominately diverse, rather than similar
in nature.
I use this forum to encourage the list members to SERIOUSLY consider the employment of
sufficient quantities of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) on a daily basis (5000 mg to 10,000 mg) up to "bowel tolerance".....as insurance against a majority of opportunistic pathogens, presently existent in our environment. This recommendation is one of good diet...and in no way whould be regarded as medical advice----IN ANY FORM.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
