 ANTHRAX 
  (malignant edema, woolsorters' disease)   AND the Cure 
 
          What is anthrax?  Anthrax is a bacterial 
disease that usually affects the skin, but may also involve the intestines. It 
is caused by bacteria called Bacillus anthracis that can infect all warm blooded 
animals including man. The disease is still commonly found in livestock (cattle, 
pigs, goats and sheep) in developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Central America. 
   How do you get it?  You can get anthrax by exposure 
to infected animals or contaminated animal products such as wool, animal hair, 
skin, and bones.  Persons at highest risk of getting the disease are occupational 
workers who handle animal products, agricultural and wildlife workers, and veterinarians 
who handle infected animals. Transmission usually occurs during the processing 
of animal products, either by direct contact with the contaminated raw material 
or by indirect contact with a contaminated environment. The bacteria are resistant 
to drying and disinfection, and can remain alive in contaminated soil for years 
after the death of the animal. Although rare, you can also get anthrax by breathing 
in the bacteria. Person-to-person spread is not thought to occur.    
What are the symptoms of anthrax?  The symptoms are different depending 
upon the way a person gets the disease. When a person gets it by way of the skin, 
itching of the skin surface occurs first. Then, a boil-like sore appears, which 
subsequently forms a depressed black scab surrounded by moderate amounts of swelling. 
When left untreated, the infection can spread to the regional lymph nodes and 
eventually, into the bloodstream. If a person breathes in the bacteria, the symptoms 
may resemble a common cold, which can progress to serious breathing problems and 
even death.    When do symptoms start?  Most individuals 
experience symptoms within 48 hours following exposure to the bacteria, but the 
onset can range from 2 to 7 days.    What is the treatment for anthrax? 
 Your doctor can prescribe drugs for anthrax. If not  promptly 
treated, a person can die of the disease. A vaccine is available for high-risk 
persons who routinely handle potentially contaminated animals and animal products. 
   How can you keep from getting it? Immunize persons who have jobs that 
expose them to the bacteria.    Use extreme caution when handling dead 
animals that may be infected with anthrax.    Have good air circulation 
when working with animal hides, fur, hair, or wool.    Vaccinate animals 
that may be at risk.        THE CURE OF ANTHRAX  
BIO ATTACK, ASSESSMENT AND ANTI-DOTES    Assessment:    
As I stated in my initial posting regarding this, patriotic Americans every-where 
must take this threat seriously, even if it does not materialize.    
I believe the American public in general, and the patriot/militia movement specifically, 
has been woefully unprepared for the type of biological attack contemplated here. 
   Let us take this opportunity to exercise our capabilities to prepare 
quickly and to communicate. Also, let us be sure to add to our personal storage 
and preparedness plans, the necessary ingredients for such conditions, such that 
we may, with the help of God in Heaven, rise up after any such event and resist 
and overcome the tyranny that is sure to be implemented in conjunction with such 
an event.    Counter Measures - Antidotes :    I have talked 
at great length to a number of people regarding this. They include personal friends 
and relatives, several individuals in the patriot movement, a micro-biologist 
and a couple of individuals who sell colloidial silver generators and have developed 
so called "zappers". The following represents what I have learned :    
1) Certain antibiotics have been tested and shown to be effective against anthrax 
and bubonic and/or pneumonic plague (which are the agents expected to be used 
in this event). Some of these are available in animal grade without a prescription 
from vets, or vet supply warehouses. The ones which supposedly are most effective 
include Doxycycline, Tetracycline, Teramycine, Penicillin.    2) Collodial 
Silver will work according to the people I have talked to, but requires fairly 
large doses (an adult should drink between 3 and 4 ounces per day of a concentration 
of 100 ppm) which means you would need a generator to afford it.    I 
am including two documents, the first speaks to the anti-bodies and their dosages, 
the second speaks to making your own collodial silver generator (WARNING: Be careful 
with the collodial silver generator. Pure silver and distilled water MUST be used. 
Sterling silver or chlorinated water could be harmful.    Good luck, 
keep the faith, and God grant that we may avoid such a horrific event by repenting 
as a nation and as a people and turning to God with all the energies of our hearts. 
If we can not avoid it, God grant that we my be strong, brave and true to Him 
and the principles of God granted liberty in getting through the crisis. We will 
have His help.    Sincerely,    Jeff Head       Here 
are the articles :  TO: All Hands --- A Preliminary Report from 
Medical Corps    In medical language, a prophylaxis is a preventative; 
or a prevention against a disease. As reported in an earlier article by Medical 
Corps we stated that there was no known prophylaxis against Anthrax. We now know 
of one. In point of fact, experimental treatment data indicates that daily doses 
of simple antibiotics -- even taken 24 hours AFTER exposure --will shield a human 
from contracting Anthrax. Not only do the antibiotics protect against Anthrax, 
but existing studies strongly suggest that the same prophylaxis will work against 
Cholera and Plague.    Not long after the first Anthrax article was printed, 
Medical Corps received a call from a lady who said that the U.S. Army had done 
studies using antibiotics as a prophylaxis against Anthrax. The Corps agreed that 
this might work, but without verification, could not print it. About a month later 
a copy of a report from the Journal of Infectious Diseases arrived. Unfortunately, 
two pages were missing-- still not verified.    Next stop was a VA Medical 
Research Center where this writer sifted through several volumes of the 50 or 
so Infectious Disease Journals in the VA Medical Library. We now have that document 
intact.    The report is called: Postexposure Prophylaxis against Experimental 
Inhalation Anthrax (Journal of Infect. Dis. 1993; 167:1239-42)    The 
experiment was conducted by Dr. Arthur M. Friedlander, US Army Medical Research 
Institute of Infectious Diseases, Bacteriology Division, Fort Detrick, Frederick, 
MD    Rhesus monkeys (6 groups of 10 each, total: 60) were exposed to 
a heads-only challenge of air delivered Anthrax spores. Beginning one day after 
exposure, each of the six groups being tested were given the below treatment, 
with results as follows:    Treatment Anthrax Deaths    Control 
(untreated) 9 out of 10 died    Vaccine Alone 8 out of 10 died    
Penicillin 3 out of 10 died    Ciprofloxacin 1 out of 10 died    
Doxycycline 1 out of 10 died    Doxycycline + Vaccine 0 out of 10 died 
   Several things about this study are readily apparent.    
The antibiotics worked surprisingly well even when treatment was started a day 
after exposure.    Given a day after exposure, the vaccine was a dismal 
failure.    Without the prophylaxis, the chances of contracting the disease 
after being exposed to Inhalation Anthrax is almost a certainty. The study was 
done on monkeys. While the Rhesus monkey responds to diseases and medications 
quite like a human, they are still animals. Human dosages will be different and 
the outcome may be better or not as successful.    Before we discuss 
human dosages, consider these options:    a. If you contract Pulmonary 
Anthrax and you do not treat it, YOU WILL SURELY DIE!    b. Even with 
the most heroic treatment measures available in a hospital setting, your chances 
of surviving Pulmonary Anthrax are extremely remote.    c. Human doses 
are determined by conversion calculations between animals and humans. This is 
accomplished through blood level comparisons of MICs (Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations), 
dosage weight tables, peak and trough levels as well as various case studies. 
   d. Additionally, human dosages were discussed with Pharmacists, Physicians, 
Clinicians and a former Chief of Medical Research of Oklahoma.    What 
all of the above means is that the dosages will work and are as accurate as possible 
without human studies.      DOXYCYCLINE:    Adult Dosages: 
Doxycycline (Vibramycin) pills or capsules. **Prophylaxis Only** Note: Adult weight 
is anyone weighing over 100 pounds. (PDR)    1) Minimum adult dosage 
for Doxycycline - 200 mg every twelve hours (BID/q12h) x 45 days.    
2) Maximum adult dosage for Doxycycline - 150 mg to 200 mg every eight hours (TID/q8h) 
x 60 days.    Note: When our survival depends upon antibiotics we tend 
to think that if this much is supposed to work then two or three times as much 
will be even better. Antibiotics are alien to the human body and in prescribed 
dosages are only mildly poisonous. Taken in extreme doses they will damage your 
body or quite likely kill you.    Children Dosages: Doxycycline (Vibramycin)**Prophylaxis 
Only**    Dosages for children vary according to body weight and the 
drug being used. The Physicians Desk Reference (the PDR is a drug data book) states 
that for children above 100 pounds, the adult dose of Doxycycline should be used. 
   For children below 100 pounds, a daily recommended dose equaling 1mg 
per 1 pound of body weight should be divided into two equal doses and given 12 
hours apart. (PDR)    For instance, a 60 lb. child would receive 60mg 
in two 30mg doses.    However, Doxycycline tablets or capsules only come 
in 50 and 100mg sizes. Considering the insidious nature of Anthrax, it would probably 
be better to give the 60 lb. child a 25mg (1/2 of a 50mg tablet) dose every 8 
hours (TID) for a daily total of 75mg of Doxycycline.    Note: A dose 
rate of q8h (every 8 hours) keeps the blood level of Doxycycline more constant 
within an adult or childs system.    A 40, 30, or 70 etc. pound child 
will require SEPARATE Doxycycline dosage computations using the formula 1mg per 
pound body weight. Then you will have to divide the dose into at least two or 
three equal parts and space evenly over one 24 hour day.      WARNINGS: 
   1) Doxycycline is of the Tetracycline class of antibiotics and as 
with all Tetracyclines will cause yellowing and possibly destruction of the teeth 
in unborn babies, infants and children to the age of 8 years (source -- PDR). 
This condition has also been observed into the young adult years    (Source 
-- empirical data).    2) Tetracyclines kill the normal/essential bacteria 
responsible for a healthy body. Among other things, this can cause ulcers of the 
mouth and diarrhea.    3) If an allergy to any of the Tetracyclines develops 
or exists, discontinue and switch to a Penicillin class antibiotics    
4) Never use Penicillin and Tetracycline together. They tend to cancel each other 
out.    5) Sunburn -- All Tetracyclines will make human skin extremely 
susceptible to sunburn. As with all medication warnings, they must be weighed 
against the nature of the disease. Pulmonary Anthrax will kill you. Yellow teeth 
won't, and diarrhea can be dealt with.      WARNING-- READ CAREFULLY: 
   Tetracycline or Achromycin V were not used in the Prophylaxis study 
done by the U.S. Army! Conclusions that Tetracycline can be used as a prophylaxis 
were drawn from PDR dosages and the fact that Tetracycline is used to treat Cutaneous 
Anthrax (on the skin) before it enters the body's system.    The drug 
of choice is DOXYCYCLINE! However . .. if you do not have Doxycycline and have 
access to Tetracycline, they are of the same class of antibiotics. They just have 
different dosages.      TETRACYCLINE: Adult Dosages: Tetracycline or 
Achromycin V. **Prophylaxis Only**    Note: Adult dosages of Tetracycline 
are given to anyone over eight (8) years of age.    1) Minimum adult 
dosage for the Tetracyclines - 500mg every six hours (QID/q6h) x 45 days  
  2) Maximum adult dosage for the Tetracyclines - 500mg every four hours 
(q4h) x 60 to 90 days    Children Dosages: Tetracyclines or Achromycin 
V **Prophylaxis Only**    Dosages for children vary according to body 
weight and the drug being used. The Physicians Desk Reference (drug data book) 
states that for children 8 years and older, the adult dose of Tetracycline should 
be used.    For children 8 years and younger, a daily dose of Tetracycline 
equaling 10 to 20mg per 1 pound of body weight should be divided into four equal 
doses and given 6 hours apart for 45 to 60 days.    Note: There is no 
existing data on a prophylaxis dose of Tetracycline for either children or adults. 
A daily dose of 15mg per pound body weight divided into four equal doses might 
be more in order.    For instance, a 60 lb. child taking 15mg per pound 
would compute to 900mg in four equal doses. This would round to 1000mg and stay 
within the 10 to 20mg dose range.    Since Tetracycline capsules only 
come in 250mg and 500mg sizes, the 60 lb. child could receive a 250mg dose every 
4 hours.    A dose rate may be varied an hour or so either way so as 
to make the total daily dose fit within a 24 hour period.    Too, the 
total daily dose of Tetracycline may be rounded up 10% or so, as to accommodate 
a workable dosage.    Note: A 40, 30, or 70 etc. pound child will require 
SEPARATE Tetracycline dosage computations using the formula 10 to 20mg per pound 
body weight. Then you will have to divide the dose into at least four (4) equal 
parts and space evenly over one 24 hour day.      WARNINGS:    
1) Tetracycline class antibiotics will cause yellowing of the teeth in unborn 
babies, infants and children to the age of 8 years (source -- PDR).    
2) All Tetracyclines kill the normal/essential bacteria responsible for a healthy 
body.    3) If an allergy to any of the Tetracyclines develops or exists, 
discontinue and switch to a Penicillin class antibiotic.    4) Never 
use Penicillin and Tetracycline together.They tend to cancel each other out.  
  5) Sunburn-- All Tetracyclines will make human skin extremely susceptible 
to sunlight.    6) Tetracycline and milk should not be taken together 
or within one (1) hour of each other. Milk and Tetracycline combine in the stomach 
and pass out of the body without the Tetracycline being used.    Remember, 
Pulmonary Anthrax will kill you.      ANIMAL GRADE ANTIBIOTICS:  
  Tetracycline Class -- Terramycin, Oxytetracycline, Tetracycline (Bolus 
or Powder)    These drugs are not the same as those used in hospitals!!! 
While animal grade Tetracycline is the same as Human grade Tetracycline -- the 
animal has a different volume due to the filler. However, you do not need  grinders 
and bullet scales to arrive at a safe oral dosage.    Look at the package. 
If it says 200mg of Tetracycline per teaspoon, and you need to take 500mg, then 
2 1/2 teaspoons computes to 500mg. If the bag says 1000mg per tsp, then you take 
1/2 tsp. for the same 500mg. Read the bag! If you cannot figure out the dosage 
from the information on the bag, check a different brand. If the dosage is in 
grams, remember that it takes 1000mg to make one gram.    If the instructions 
are in milligrams per gram of powder find another bag--unless you just like to 
weigh things.    DO NOT USE injectable animal antibiotics! They do not 
usually contain Lidocaine (a local pain killer), which means you will suffer greatly 
from just one shot. Add to that pain the increased volume of the animal shot and 
you might prefer death. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AS HUMAN INJECTABLES!      
THE FOLLOWING IS PART OF A C.D.C. REPORT    [Emerging Infectious Diseases 
* Volume 3 * Number 2 * April-June 1997] Perspective    The Economic 
Impact of a Bioterrorist Attack: Are Prevention and Postattack Intervention Programs 
Justifiable?    Arnold F. Kaufmann, Martin I. Meltzer, and George P. 
Schmid Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA  
  The epidemic curve for anthrax by days after exposure was assumed to be 
1 day, 0% of cases; 1 day, 5%; 2 days, 20%; 3 days, 35%; 4 days, 20%; 5 days, 
10%; 6 days, 5%; and 7 or more days, 5% (3-5). Case-fatality rates were also assumed 
to vary by the day symptoms were first noted. The case-fatality rate was estimated 
as 85% for patients with symptoms on day 1; 80% for patients with symptoms on 
day 2; 70% for those with symptoms on day 3; 50% for those with symptoms on days 
4, 5, and 6; and 70% for those with symptoms on and after day 7. The increased 
death rate in persons with an incubation period of 7 or more days is calculated 
on an assumption of delayed diagnosis, with resultant delayed therapy.    
When estimating days in hospital and outpatient visits due to infection, we assumed 
that 95% of anthrax patients were hospitalized, with a mean stay of 7 days. Patients 
not admitted to a hospital had an average of seven outpatient visits, and surviving 
hospitalized patients had two outpatient visits after discharge from the hospital. 
Persons who received only outpatient care were treated for 28 days with either 
oral  ciprofloxacin or doxycycline.      Collodial Silver Generator-- 
 Disclaimer-- Balaam's Ass Speaks    I read the Bio attack 
info. I was already familiar with the jist of it. You might like to let people 
know how they can make their own Colloidal Silver for the price of water.... Full 
instructions can be found in the Nov/Dec & May/June 95 issues of Perceptions 
Magazine (310) 313-5185.    Here it is in a nutshell: Take 3 9v transistor 
radio batteries and wire them together (Radio Shack has the connectors for those 
batteries) in series so that they supply 27v (30 is ideal but 27 works fine). 
At both ends attach (solder) 'long' leads with alligator clips (Radio Shack again) 
attached to the ends of the leads. Purchase PURE (.9999 fine) 14 gauge silver 
wire -sterling WILL NOT work (1-800-759-9997 is a source by the ounce). Oh, sterling 
silver will make colloidal silver, but it'll poison the drinker due to the alloy 
metal that's added, so don't. You need 10 inches per generator. An ounce is approx. 
55". OK, that's the generator. Cut the wire to 2 5"lengths. Shape them into the 
classic biblical shepherds hook. The hook end itself needs to be just large enough 
to catch the edge of the container you use to actually make the colloidal silver. 
Be sure to add a small tail to the hooks to connect the alligator clips. Shape 
isn't absolutely critical; it just needs to catch the lip of the container and 
allow some extra for the clips. Leave the rest of the wire straight.    
Purchase some distilled water. You want real distilled water, that is, from the 
distillation process, not merely filtered or something else.    To make 
electrolyte: Take 6 ounces distilled water, and add 1 tsp NaCl (table salt, the 
purer the better). Agitate to dissolve. Store in a bottle with an eyedropper cap 
or use a separate eyedropper. This electrolyte will be used sparingly if at all. 
   To make Colloidal Silver: Take a 8-10 oz non-conductive tumbler (any 
shape non-conductive container will work) glass is best. Add distilled water to 
tumbler until it's suitably filled. Place silver electrodes into the tumbler of 
distilled water. Connect the alligator clips that are connected to the 27v dc 
source. DO NOT allow the wire electrodes to touch! Shortly (within seconds) you 
should see a bubbling from one electrode and a 'smoke' coming from the other. 
If not, add 1 drop of electrolyte at a time to the tumbler and stir, all the while 
looking for 'activity'. Keep adding electrolyte until activity is noticed. Don't 
exceed 3 drops electrolyte per 6-8 ounces of water. In a minute or two it will 
be 'cloudy' enough. Disconnect your clips, remove the electrodes and wipe with 
scotch-brite (I use paper towel) and store them away. Now, the first glass is 
the hardest, drink it all or only partly down. Normally, I drink a minimum of 
one 10 ounce glass a week. Now, with the added threat, I drink 2-3 or more (when 
I remember) glasses a week. This is totally non-toxic to multi-cellular organisms 
(that's us) and totally toxic (Interferes with their    Oxygen processing) 
to 1 celled animals (viruses, bacteria, rickettasea (sp?), fungus) GOD knows what 
else. I figure between the wife, the dog, and myself we consume a few hundred 
dollars worth of (if purchased)  colloidal silver a week. Colloidal silver 
can be used anyplace you can use water, topically, internally (anywhere), injected 
(if suitably prepared- I don't- there's no need), in the eyes, ears, body orifices, 
well you get the idea.    It can be stored in the DARK, in glass for 
approx a month so I'm told. I always make and drink fresh. Why screw around? The 
electrodes last for years. The batteries appear to be good for about a year.  
  I have a wonderful pure water source and don't use any electrolyte at all. 
I recommend people use distilled water. Excess Chlorine in the water should be 
shunned. It will produce Silver Chloride (I assume it's poisonous-I was warned 
and I warn others). That's why we use minimal electrolyte.    Locally 
we've had great results against (you'll find some of this hard to believe, but 
I swear it's true!) allergies (hay fever), ulcers (h. Palori (sp?), flu, yeast 
infections, Gulf War Syndrome, Hot Spots (canine), Pink Eye (human and cat), and 
I can't remember all the successes. People that take the stuff just stop getting 
sick. So we don't know what all it is effective against. Supposedly works fine 
against Anthrax.    The Perceptions directions add a battery to the series 
circuit, but that just lowers the voltage to the electrode and you need all you 
can get, so I leave it out.    Oh, the guys that market the 'yellow' 
colloidal silver will tell you there's is superior. It is to them, they sell it. 
You can make yellow CS by not adding any electrolyte and waiting an hour (so I'm 
told). Ours works fine.    ____________________________    Editor: 
 Balaam's Ass Speaks--  The following is only an opinion and 
not intended to be a medical prescription or solution.  Any action you take 
is your business.  The following is what I think I would do IF....    
Readers living in large cities, or near strategic military targets, might want 
to acquire antibiotics as used above as soon as possible.  This will require 
the help of a doctor who understands your concern.  These antibiotics are 
not dangerous if used as indicated above, and they have a good shelf life 
in spite of the dates on the package.  Doctors in the tropics and in hospital 
use in the USA will double dose the first dose of most antibiotics.  Tolerance 
due to repeated use of antibiotics is not nearly as much of a problem as we have 
been told.  I have taken Tetracycline about 12 times for Amoebic Dysentery 
while living in Africa, and it worked the last time just as well as the first. 
   If you live within driving distance of the Mexican border, you may 
drive across and get the drugs with a prescription written by the Mexican doctor 
running the pharmacy.  There is an urgent need for help in getting these 
drugs.  The Federal Government will not allow citizens to self-drug themselves, 
so by the time an Anthrax or Plague attack is known, it will be too late to save 
your life.  This is a do-it-yourself emergency.  Law is not as high 
a priority as taking care of your family and friends.    ______________________________________ 
  Cure of choice if you have no opportunity to follow the details above-  Tetracycline-- 
Double the first two day's doses and then follow normal dosing.  600 mg a 
day on empty stomach circa two hours after a meal.  Exception is Doxyciline 
and Minocycline which can be taken with food.  40 pills of 500 to 600 mg 
each should be taken over a maximum of a 10 day period.  The Dr. in Mexico 
suggested 500 mg every 6 to 8 hours.______________________________You 
may also buy CIPRO and other antibiotics in Mexico if you are near the border. 
You will need a prescription to come back into the USA with the drugs, but you 
can get that in Mexico. It is accepted by US Immigration for now. If you have 
a doctor friend who will help, tell him you think you have dysentery and want 
to treat it empirically. He has to have something based on your health needs which 
he must write in his records. Tetracycline is also used to treat acne. Go figure.LINKS: *
