"Some soldiers were vaccinated against anthrax. anthrax once was the talk of the day. An unapproved vaccine to protect against this animal disease was injected to those soldiers; 150 thousand soldiers received anthrax vaccine without data on humans in existence. This vaccine had only been tested on cattle and sheep. It was found that government contracts were given to former joint chief, who held attractive stocks of the founded vaccine company. (0'Shea,pg. 143) The military personnel had no choice but to receive these dangerous vaccinations." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"This group includes norfloxacin (Noroxin), lomefloxacin (Maxaquin), enoxacin (Penetrex), ofloxacin (Floxin), and its best-known member, ciprofloxacin (Cipro), which achieved fame as a prophylactic for anthrax during the terrorist-based mailing of letters laced with the deadly bacteria anthrax. These drugs are also used for kidney infections, sexually transmitted disease, prostate infections, and skin infections. These drugs can cause headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea and may cause serious sun-sensitivity reactions. Ofloxacin causes insomnia in 13% of patients." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Deliberate contamination with anthrax may have endangered letter sorters and carriers in the early years of this century, but anthrax has always been an occupational illness. Previously known by the name wool-sorters' disease, anthrax was an endemic hazard of the textile industry for many years, until successful prevention and decontamination procedures were adopred early in the twentieth century.1 Many of the same basic principles of case detection and follow-up pertain to the control of both biological pathogens and chemical toxins." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Leprosy and other skin diseases had moral as well as medical implications—people who had them SIGN OF THE TIMES ^f™^ anthrax was first described in Y» the Bible. The following cure was prescribed for the boils commonly caused by this disease: "Take a cluster of figs. And they took and laid it upon the boil, and he recovered." In 2003, the National Institutes of Health and the pharmaceutical industry discussed the possibility of studying the use of fig plants as a treatment for anthrax. were deemed damned, disgusting, dangerous, or diabolic." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"In 1877 Pasteur showed that a germ, anthrax, was the cause of a disease that was killing cattle. He went on to develop an anthrax vaccine, made from a weakened strain of the disease that caused only a mild illness, but then protected vaccinated sheep and cattle from getting the fullblown disease. A few years later, a 9-year-old boy, Joseph Meister, was brought to Pasteur, not yet sick but doomed to die within four to eight weeks after having been bitten many times by a rabid dog. At the time, Pasteur was working on a rabies vaccine made from infected spinal cord tissue taken from rabid rabbits." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"CIPRO RESISTANCE What's new: Ciprofloxacin, one of the first-line antibiotics that is used to treat anthrax (a leading bioterror weapon), is becoming increasingly ineffective against other infections. What this means for you: For now, other antibiotics can fill the gap for ear, sinus and urinary tract infections. Experts do not believe that Cipro's effectiveness against anthrax has been compromised—but this could change in the future if the antibiotic is overused." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"The Xhosa people apply the leaf juice to anthrax lesions and mix it with anthrax-infected meat to disinfect it. The green, unripe berry is crushed and used as a poultice for ringworm as well as for saddle sores on horses. The Masai use the leaf juice to treat conjunctivitis (pink eye). Modern Uses Most adaptogens are stimulating; ashwagandha is a bit unusual in that it is a calming adaptogen. It enhances endocrine function, especially helping to re-regulate the thyroid, testes, and adrenal glands." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.)

"When it became clear that workers could be harmed by more than physical force, such as by mercury and lead exposure or anthrax, new legislation provided a remedy for occupational diseases. Even so, the notion of "injury" was contentious from the outset. "Writer's cramp" and "telegraphist's wrist" were rallying cries of the early union movement in Britain, with the result that they were added to the British schedule for occupational diseases in 1908, but not without medical debate that culminated a decade later in the rubric "occupational neurosis." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"His response as well to the twin towers destruction, and the following deaths from anthrax, was very professional. At the height of the anthrax scare, Wessely was reported in the Guardian on October 19,2001 as saying that people need not fear anthrax because 'biological agents are ineffective as weapons of war.' Fears of anthrax could be associated, he suggested, with 'outbreaks of mass sociogenic illness' which were 'already appearing.' Professor Wessely sometimes seems to forget or mis-remember his committed views about mental illness." - Martin J. Walker, Skewed: Psychiatric Hegemony and and the Manufacture of Mental Illness in Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Gulf War Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

"It has been found to act as an antimicrobial agent against at least 140 infectious diseases, among them: anthrax, athlete's foot, and urinary tract infections, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, hepatitis, viral meningitis, pneumonia, salmonella, smallpox, tuberculosis, vaginal yeast infection, and many more. Olive leaf extract is taken in capsule form. Tea Tree Oil Tea tree oil is made from Australian tea tree leaves. Australian Aborigines have used it for centuries by applying crushed leaves to heal cuts, bruises, and skin infections and by inhaling vapors from crushed leaves to treat colds." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

This vaccine had only been tested on cattle and sheep. It was found that government contracts were given to former joint chief, who held attractive stocks of the founded vaccine company. (0'Shea,pg. 143) The military personnel had no choice but to receive these dangerous vaccinations. In the end the report stated, there were 43% that had side effects from the vaccinations during the Gulf War. Repeat: 43%." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "Despite the horrific findings, anthrax vaccine in 2003 was reinstated. Big Pharma started to recommend those vaccinations for the non-military personnel as well. Boy, talk about business! The new war against the Iraqis again brought billions and billions of dollars, just by vaccinations. And the story continues. Who paid for the medical expenses during the war? The medical expenses are unbelievable high, because, in a war, people are continuously crippled, wounded, and get sick. Who pays and who earns? After the war, the story even gets better. Soldiers do have problems." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"When it became clear that workers could be harmed by more than physical force, such as by mercury and lead exposure or anthrax, new legislation provided a remedy for occupational diseases. Even so, the notion of "injury" was contentious from the outset, as was the inflexibility of the "schedules." Today, schedules are largely supplanted by a convoluted process in all jurisdictions, one that is paralleled in the Veterans Administration and the Social Security Administration. All invoke some medical determination of impairment, often going to great lengths and expense to quantify disease." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Colloidal silver has also been reported to be effective against germ warfare pathogens such as anthrax and bubonic plague.18 In 1919, Alfred Searle, founder of Searle Pharmaceuticals, indicated that in tests, colloidal silver protected rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanus and diphtheria toxins.19 Silver is a trace mineral. It is present in the body in minute amounts and is used by the body to produce healthy cells and maintain the immune system. People previously obtained trace minerals such as silver in adequate amounts from eating plants grown in nutrient-rich soil." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"So too is the impact of war: napalm, land mines, anthrax, and nuclear weapons inflict far more damage on communities and on the environment than did bows and arrows and spears. Famines hit with increasing severity, exacerbated by the population explosion and the depletion of the soil. And the possibility of new pestilences strikes fear deep into the hearts of individuals and insurance companies alike. These correlations are often seen as a sign that the "Day of Judgment" is indeed nigh." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"In 2003, the National Institutes of Health and the pharmaceutical industry discussed the possibility of studying the use of fig plants as a treatment for anthrax. were deemed damned, disgusting, dangerous, or diabolic. The sufferers paid for their "sins" by being stigmatized and socially isolated. Even birthmarks were considered a bad omen, and those who had them were considered evil. Physicians and others also read skin not only for indicators of evil but for signs of illness as well." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

(Get the book.)

"In the first such investigation, in the early 1980s, the historian Graham Twigg used the then-current belief that black rats were absent from many parts of northern Europe during the fourteenth century to argue that the Black Death was anthrax, rather than plague.44 When his arguments were expanded to encompass the sixth-century pandemic as well, it was rather as if a history of the causes of World War II was used to reevaluate the causes of World War I." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Zane Kime, in his 1980 book, Sunlight could Save Your Life, reviewed the results of research conducted between 1886 and 1909 that showed that all these bacteria were killed by ultraviolet light: anthrax, plague, streptococci, tubercle bacillus, cholera, staphylococcus, colon bacillus and dysentery bacillus. Sunlight was virtually forgotten with the advent of antibiotic drugs, but now the interest has returned. While watching a newscast, I noticed the news ticker along the bottom of the screen announcing, "sunshine is the most effective anti- infection therapy." But is this really news? Dr." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Ciprofloxacin, the FDA-approved treatment for anthrax, fights bacteria by interfering with their ability to synthesize their DNA. This prevents the bacterial army from growing. In addition to anthrax, ciprofloxacin is used to treat infections of the urinary tract, lower respiratory tract, sinuses, and other parts of the body. Possible Side Effects The drug's side effects include resdessness, headache, and kidney failure." - Frederic Vagnini, M.D. and Barry Fox, Ph.D., The Side Effects Bible: The Dietary Solution to Unwanted Side Effects of Common Medications (Get the book.)

"Smart breeding and transgenics are as different as apples and anthrax. Even many biotech skeptics think smart breeding poses minuscule risk to human health or the environment. The pay-offs, however, could be huge. Before factory farming, most crop species appeared in hundreds of varieties that were often admirably adapted to local soil types, weather patterns, and growing conditions." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Pasteur first helped stop the spread of anthrax by proposing sterilization and burial of the bodies of animals that had died from it. Later he was to find something even more effective. In 1879 Pasteur discovered by accident that bacteria could be weakened. In their weakened state, they failed to cause disease but still provoked immunity. He soon learned that the anthrax bacterium could be weakened in this way and by 1881 was able to demonstrate that an effective immunization against anthrax resulted from injection with the weakened bacteria." - Alexander Hellemans and Brian Bunch, The Timetables of Science: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Science (Get the book.) "He started with anthrax—a disease that affects both farm animals and humans—because another proponent of the newly developing germ theory of disease, Robert Koch, had already found the bacterium that causes anthrax in 1876. Pasteur first helped stop the spread of anthrax by proposing sterilization and burial of the bodies of animals that had died from it. Later he was to find something even more effective. In 1879 Pasteur discovered by accident that bacteria could be weakened.

"The list of drugs that may be problematic includes antiepileptic and anticonvulsant drugs, sulfonamides, ampicillin, allopurinol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), as well as some vaccinations (such as anthrax). The frightening fact about these drugs is that the body's reaction to them is completely unpredictable." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The mandatory anthrax vaccine has even worse effects. A recent report issued by the General Accounting Office (GAO) confirms that about one to two percent of immunized individuals may end up with severe adverse reactions, including disability, chronic disease and death. Even though this risk seems low, when calculated across the 2.2 million in the service, an estimated 44,000 enlisted could potentially end up in the morgue. That's many times more than war fatalities. A current effort has begun, though, to help soldiers secure their right to refuse vaccination. Let's hope it will be successful." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Gram-negative organisms include Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas, while Gram-positive organisms include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Clostridium and anthrax. These alternate categories arise from differences in the structure of these organisms' cell membranes. The cell membranes of gram-negative organisms contain what is known as endotoxin, or lipopolysaccaride (LPS), while Gram-positive microbes contain lipoteichoic acid (LTA). LPS and LTA are the virulent factors that trigger the inflammatory response and cause much of the unpleasant symptoms of infection." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Until the genetic code was cracked in the 1960s, we did not know what we now know: that all life is one; seaweed is your distant cousin and anthrax one of your advanced relatives. The unity of life is an empirical fact.'14 The processes by which life comes into being are also largely similar. When a plant grows a new leaf, for example, it is because certain genes are expressing themselves in certain cells such that the leaf naturally takes on the colour, feel, shape and form of all the other leaves on that plant." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"The current fear is reminiscent of the way many people blew out of proportion the risk for contracting anthrax, West Nile virus, SARS and mad cow disease. I warn my patients that too much worry can lead to overeating, cigarette smoking and drinking too much alcohol. It also can increase levels of circulating stress hormones in the blood, which places more demand on the heart and appears to contribute to heart disease and stroke. But these very real diseases seem abstract when compared to the scary-looking chickens we regularly see on TV. Our own brains make us easy prey to such distortions." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)
