Greatest Gold-Mine Of Easy "Bioterrorism Planning" Advice Ever Crammed Into One Product

Editor, Health & Beyond Weekly
If you're like most people, you currently have no plan regarding a smallpox outbreak or a bioterrorism incident other than to follow the herd and do what the government and medical authorities tell you to do if something terrible happens.
And the authorities are a big help with their dire warnings and vague predictions, aren't they?
As reported by the New York Times in February of 2005:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 -- Top intelligence officials said today that they remained concerned that terrorists were regrouping to attempt another major attack on the United States and also said that Iran posed a rising threat in the Middle East.
"It may be only a matter of time before Al Qaeda or other groups attempt to use chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons," Porter J. Goss, the director of central intelligence, told the Senate Intelligence Committee in an annual report on threats to the United States.
Mr. Goss appeared alongside other intelligence chiefs, and on a day when several other top cabinet members were appearing before Congress to defend budget proposals. One of them, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, also said that Al Qaeda and its allies were likely to be planning a major attack on American targets.
Well, this kind of news report suggests to me that the government is as confused as the rest of us, though it is certainly spending a lot of money and making a lot of noise about getting prepared for "a major attack on American targets."
You'd think all these years after 9/11 that the government would have its ducks in a row, but I'm afraid that's not the case, especially regarding the smallpox threat.
Look at this sorry and absurd timeline...
On one hand,
The government said in late June of 2002 it was going to vaccinate approximately 15,000 health care and emergency workers with one of its smallpox vaccines...
On the other hand,
In early July of 2002, the government suddenly said it was going to use smallpox vaccines on 500,000 health care and emergency workers.
Then on September 25, 2002,
the CDC releases its Smallpox Vaccination Clinic Guide, which talks about vaccinating 1,000,000 people in ten days.
And a few days later, according to ABC News...
The Bush administration is preparing to offer the effective but risky smallpox vaccine to every American before an attack ever occurs.
On October 4, 2002, we read in the New York Times...
The nation's top public health officials said today that they favored offering smallpox vaccine to the public, even in absence of a bioterror attack, but only after up to 10 million health care workers are immunized and after a vaccine is licensed for general use, which is not likely until 2004.
On October 25, 2002, the FDA licensed a smallpox vaccine that hasn't been used for thirty years but didn't tell the public about approving the vaccine until November 2.
Then, on December 13, 2002, a Newsday story reported, "President Bush is setting in motion a plan for quickly giving smallpox vaccinations to military personnel bound for the Iraq region and opening a campaign to inoculate emergency teams most likely to encounter a domestic bioterror attack. He will offer the shots to most members of the public but won't urge them to get it."
Amazingly, even Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson - who initially ordered 300 million doses of the vaccine - decided against having it jabbed into his arm.
By March, 2003, doctors and hospital health care workers around the country had refused for months to take the vaccine themselves and were telling people they shouldn't either.
By summer of 2004, the government had apparently given up on its mass inoculation of health care workers and this expensive program had quietly disappeared... but you can bet those who made the big bucks on it are laughing all the way to the bank.
Then, in January of 2005, Bob Dorgin of the Los Angeles Times reported of a smallpox exercise:
WASHINGTON At 9:03 a.m., a TV broadcast reported an outbreak of smallpox in four European countries, and a terrorist group tied to Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for spreading one of history's most dreaded diseases.
By midafternoon, as the president of the United States and leaders of major Western nations struggled to contain a cascade of horrors, authorities confirmed 3,320 smallpox cases across the globe. They warned of 660,000 potential victims, major political upheavals and a collapsing world economy in the weeks ahead.
That was the fake but terrifying scenario played out in a darkened hotel ballroom here Friday by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and 11 senior European diplomats and politicians. For seven hours, they grappled with a grim tabletop exercise that fused fact and fiction to help educate government officials about the growing threat of bioterrorism
The largely ineffective response of the "leaders," who huddled at a U-shaped table before 150 invited observers from the U.S. and foreign governments, exposed some of the likely problems real leaders would face in a bioterrorism assault.
...
Fortunately, we are not prime ministers anymore," said Jerzy Buzek, who was prime minister of Poland during the Sept. 11 attacks and played the same role Friday. Then he summed up what he had learned in the daylong simulated attack: "Nobody is ready."
Nobody is ready.
At least nobody in authority appears to be ready.
Well, if you're an independent-minded person like me, you're not willing to put your future in the hands of bureaucrats, especially when your health and the health and lives of your family may be at risk.
Bottomline: I don't trust people in authority very much, and I thoroughly distrust big government to tell me the truth when power, money, and national security are at risk.
Well, the government may not be ready, but I am.
You see, right after 9/11 when the media started terrorizing the public with nightly reports about weapons grade
anthraxsmallpox vaccinations with poorly tested vaccinesbubonic plague and other horrific diseases,
I decided to research all the options so I could compose a plan to protect myself and my family if the horrific happens and a foreign or domestic terrorist unleashes a killer disease upon innocent men, women, and children.
It took me months and gallons of midnight oil, but now -- in the event of a bioterrorism attack -- I have knowledge at my fingertips that gives me a choice between...
being treated conventionally by medical authorities with government-recommended (though not necessarily licensed and approved) drugs and vaccines or
caring for myself and my family with ancient and alternative treatments or
using a combination of the best of both worlds.
A BIOTERRORISM DEFENSE PLAN
REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE, AND THIS
KNOWLEDGE WILL GIVE YOU POWER
Even though I personally don't think a bioterrorism attack is very likely, as a cautious and prudent person, I invite you to join me in developing a "just in case" bioterrorism defense plan.
You can have this knowledge at your fingertips when you purchase and immediately download a copy of Biological Terror: A Consideration of Ancient and Alternative Treatments of Catastrophic Diseases.
Note: This is a PDF file that you must download and print. At this time I do NOT sell printed copies. WebTVers can NOT purchase this file because WebTV will not read PDF files.
In this Special Bioterrorism Report, I share unconventional information from 19th and early 20th century doctors and healers who successfully helped people survive smallpox, plague, and other dangerously contagious diseases while many of those receiving conventional medical care at home and in hospitals were dropping like flies.
In addition to information from historical healers who successful treated dangerous contagious illnesses, this single-spaced, 155-page Special Report also contains alternative medicine approaches from cutting edge 21st century physicians and healers.
WAIT!
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE,
HERE'S A WARNING FROM THE GOVERNMENT:
BEWARE INTERNET HUCKSTERS!
Before you purchase my Special Bioterrorism Report, read the Federal Trade Commission's warning about Internet scamsters who are out to make a quick buck on your fears.
According to the government watchdogs at the FTC, "Fraudsters often follow the headlines, tailoring their offers to prey on consumers' fears and vulnerabilities."
Because of government warnings and since American laws in all too many respects make it difficult to practice freedom of choice where health matters are concerned, let me underline what Biological Terror: A Consideration of Ancient and Alternative Treatments of Catastrophic Diseases does and does not offer:
Simply put, my special report offers you the very best historical and modern alternative medicine information that I could find during months of serious research, information I will use to protect myself and my family in the event of a bioterrorism attack.
With that said, I will now obey American health laws and tell you that
I do not dispense medical advice or prescribe the use of fasting or diet or supplements or anything else as a form of treatment for sickness without medical approval.
I do not intend to diagnose or prescribe.
In my Special Bioterrorism Report, I only offer information to help you cooperate with your doctor, government authority, medical police, or any other officially-sanctioned practitioner to maintain health.
In the event you use the information in my special report without your doctor's, health practitioner's, or governmental authority's approval, you prescribe for yourself. It is my understanding that this remains your constitutional right, but I assume no responsibility for how you make use of the data in my report.
Now that you've been warned by the government about bioterrorism scams, here's an overview of the information I've put together in Bioterror: A Consideration of Ancient and Alternative Treatments of Catastrophic Diseases that you will find useful in developing a plan to protect yourself and your loved ones.
THIS REPORT CONTAINS
MODERN AND ANCIENT WISDOM
My Special Report charges headfirst into holistic, modern alternatives that medical doctors, holistic healers, and expert voices in the natural health movement present as viable adjuncts to officially sanctioned treatments:
BIOTERRORISM DISEASE OVERVIEW
AND A SIMPLE SUGGESTION
Cardiologist and medical researcher Thomas Levy, M.D., opens the report with two long articles:
Bioterrorism: Beyond Vaccinations and Antibiotics
and
Bioterrorism: Beyond Anthrax and Smallpox
In these articles, Dr. Levy provides an excellent overview of the major bioterrorism diseases.
Dr. Levy then extrapolates from scientific research and concludes that a simple vitamin may well provide a degree of protection against these diseases.
SHOULD YOU INCLUDE COLLOIDAL SILVER (CS) AS PART OF YOUR BIOTERRORISM PLAN?
On the heels of Dr. Levy, you'll read material from the controversial Alternative Research Foundation regarding the potential of Colloidal Silver as something you might want to consider as an adjunct or alternative to accepted antibiotic treatment:
Colloidal Silver: A Solution to the Anthrax Problem?
and
Colloidal Silver: Miracle or Fraud?
In addition to what you'll learn about Colloidal Silver in the above two articles, this section of my report also provides...
A detailed plan you can use to build a Colloidal Silver generator that will produce quality CS for less than $1 a gallon. This information alone is worth more than the cost of the entire report.
Since Colloidal Silver remains controversial (the FDA and FTC seem particularly rabid about the stuff), I've also included in my interactive special report a comprehensive collection of links to sites that carry objective research and commentary about CS.
Quick aside...
I think it's imperative that you research questions of health and treatment on your own. Only when you have done your homework can you make intelligent decisions about what to put into your body. I don't trust the government, medical experts, or alternative health gurus to tell me what to do about my body. Instead, I read everything I can find to make my own decisions about my own health. And that's what you should be doing too.
SHOULD YOU CONSIDER HOMEOPATHY AS
PART OF YOUR BIOTERRORISM DEFENSE PLAN?
My Special Bioterrorism Report next turns to Homeopathy. In this section, you'll learn about homeopathic nostrums as options you should consider when deciding what to do about anthrax.
In addition to reading what some experts have to say, I personally spent many hours surfing the net to find other homeopathic approaches that may or may not be effective for bioterrorism diseases. As a result of this research, the report also contains information on...
Homeopathic Nostrums for SmallpoxHomeopathic Nostrums for AnthraxHomeopathic Nostrums for Plague
You Can Include Historical and Unusual
Treatments for Devastating Diseases
in Your Bioterrorism Defense Plan
Next, moving beyond modern alternative approaches, my Special Bioterrorism Report contains a section of treatments used throughout history for smallpox and other horrible diseases. Within these pages, you'll learn about...
A Secret Vinegar Concoction -- The home-brew used by thieves in Medieval times to ward off the black plague while they robbed the sick!
Inexpensive Gas Mask Alternative -- Some people are selling gas masks for absolutely absurd prices. Learn about an elegant alternative that costs just pennies.
Dr. Norris's Discovery -- An herbal tea successfully used in 1872 in Alabama as a prophylactic against smallpox.
The Wales Heat Treatment -- The modality used by an old-school doctor in Wales that saved the lives of those he treated while others received drugs and modern treatments and died!
Various Herbal Combinations -- India has probably learned more about smallpox than any other nation and that's especially true regarding herbs.
And much, much more.
In the Last Section of the Report,
You will Learn about Historical Approaches that May Well be the Most Important Part of Your Family's Bioterrorism Defense Plan
As a professional writer and researcher who has been writing about natural health since 1993, I know you'll find especially helpful the information in the third major section of my Special Bioterrorism Report.
In this section, you'll view information I extracted from dusty old volumes written by Natural Hygienists from as far back as 1864.
Starting in the early 19th century, the Hygienists were often medical doctors who rejected the accepted drug "cures" of the day when they realized the drugs were often hurting more people than they helped.
So the Hygienists rejected drugs and turned to Nature.
They taught their patients that they would get well if -- and only if -- they provided themselves with the foods and conditions required to activate and energize the marvelous self-healing ability of the human body.
And, for almost two centuries now, a tiny number of Hygienic doctors and lay practitioners have helped people survive every disease imaginable.
They taught the "nature cure," as it was also known, amidst much controversy. They taught it during the 19th century when the medical profession proclaimed that baths, fresh air, and handwashing were unnecessary and even hazardous to one's health!
And they taught Natural Hygiene during modern times when the medical profession proclaimed that chemotherapy, radiation, invasive surgery, and drugs advertised on national television and sanctioned by the government were the only ways to treat what ailed you.
Most people today have never even heard of Natural Hygiene, and that's a crying shame because by applying its timeless Laws of Nature many people could dramatically improve the quality of their health and well-being. Although I no longer support the strict vegan diet advocated by many modern Natural Hygienists, I do advocate and promote the many other aspects of this simple and healthful way to live.
HYGIENIC DOCTORS REVEAL HOW THEIR PATIENTS SURVIVED SMALLPOX EPIDEMICS
Let me tell you now about the Hygienic doctors in my special report and the treatments they used to help their patients survive all kinds of epidemics and other diseases:
Dr. R.T. Trall: Smallpox and Plague -- Dr. Trall stunned medical men of his day when he addressed an audience of his peers at the Smithsonian Institute and essentially told them their drugging system was false. In this section of my Special Report, you'll read Dr. Trall's recommended treatment for smallpox and plague as written in his 1864 book, Hygienic Practice: A Practical Guide for the Sick-Room.
Dr. J.H. Kellogg: Treating Smallpox -- John Harvey Kellogg, MD, owned and hosted a "nature cure" retreat that was the Mayo Clinic of the natural health movement back when many people still rode horses to visit their physicians. In my special report's excerpt from Kellogg's 1901 Rational Hydrotherapy, you'll learn his complete protocol for smallpox.
Dr. John Tilden on Smallpox -- John Tilden, MD, constantly annoyed his Colorado colleagues who practiced traditional medicine. Regarding smallpox, for example, Tilden wrote, "My experience has been that very few people catch it when exposed to it." But when his patients did come down with smallpox, Tilden had success treating them, and my report reveals his exact methods as laid out in his 1921 volume, Impaired Health: Its Cause and Cure.
And more, including Dr. Herbert M. Shelton's protocol for smallpox as well as Julius Gilbert White's complete juice therapy!
IS BIOTERRORISM REALLY A
THREAT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?
I asked myself this question when I started researching information for my special report not many days after the World Trade Center Towers crashed to earth, and I continue to ask it on a regular basis.
I still don't have a definitive answer, but I've seen and read enough in the news and on the Internet to know that I want to have as many of my bases covered as possible, "just in case."
Here are some reasons why I think it's prudent to be prepared for a biological event, especially for an outbreak of smallpox...
First off, I admire the reporting of Richard Preston, a man who has written some of the best work I know of on the topic of smallpox. Way back in the January 17, 2000, edition of The New Yorker, Preston first tweaked my interest in bioterrorism when he wrote:
A really big act of bioterrorism has never occurred, as far as anyone knows, although the F.B.I. recorded more than thirty threats or attempts at bioterror during just the first week of January this year.
One can only assume that sooner or later some terrorist will succeed, and an infectious organism will be deliberately released on a large population.
The most dangerous bioweapon on the planet is Variola major, a form of the smallpox virus. Smallpox mirrors the Black Death of the Middle Ages in its virulence and contagiousness.
During the nineteen-seventies, smallpox was eradicated as a disease that circulates in the human population, and officially it exists only in two laboratory freezers, one in the United States and one in Russia.
Unofficially, illicit stocks are almost certainly being kept in several other countries, including Iraq and North Korea. There is a vaccine for smallpox, but the World Health Organization keeps only about one dose on hand for every twelve thousand people on earth.
In any case, the vaccine wears off: most people today could catch smallpox easily, even if they were vaccinated in the past. The consequences of a bioterrorist act involving smallpox would be devastating.
HEALTH SECRETARY ORDERS
300 MILLION DOSES OF SMALLPOX VACCINE
One month after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson called on industry and government to produce and stockpile 300 million doses of vaccinia virus vaccine by the end of 2002.
In words that sent a chill up my spine, Thompson said all Americans should know that "They have their name on a vaccine shot in our inventory."
Well, I, for one, do NOT want my name on any new smallpox vaccine in or out of the government's inventory.
Why not?
Bad Reaction to Smallpox Vaccine
Other than distressing you with the photograph of that poor little boy to the right, I'll spare you the gory details of how dangerous the old smallpox vaccine was, but I'm even more concerned about the stuff that Secretary Thompson ordered for us. Read on...
According to Julie Appleby in the December 14, 2001, edition of USA Today, in order to have the 300,000,000 doses ready in time, some authorities in the vaccine industry want to cut the number of participants in vaccine trials and bypass standard safety and efficacy requirements:
"To achieve that goal, we would have to radically change our approach," said Leighton Read, founder of biotech vaccine company Aviron and general partner with Alloy Ventures in Palo Alto, Calif.
Read said that might mean cutting the number of volunteers the drug is tested on from the usual tens of thousands to a much smaller number and streamlining other rules: "Otherwise it's impossible to imagine accomplishing a goal of hundreds of millions of doses in anything less than many years."
Additionally, in a story by Emma Young in the October 25, 2001, New Scientist, we learn...
The US government has asked national drug companies to produce and speed-test new smallpox vaccines. New vaccines usually spend several years in trials but health secretary Tommy Thompson wants the process to take just one year.
The US government has reportedly promised to legally indemnify manufacturers, in the event of any court cases over vaccine side effects.
In May of 2002, Dr. James M. Hughes, director of the CDC's National Center for Infectious Diseases, pointed out that there will be a major need for education of the public and health professionals about the vaccine. "It's not a totally benign vaccine," he said. Nobody under 30 has received it and no recently trained healthcare providers have ever administered it.
On December 13, 2002, in a New York Times story, we're told:
Experts said that although parents might now be eager to have their children vaccinated, their enthusiasm might wane with the inevitable reports of serious side effects among some military and emergency personnel.
I'm not alone because by late summer of 2004, the government's expensive plan to give the smallpox vaccine to hundreds of thousands of health care workers was in utter shambles and quietly being allowed to die a well-deserved death.
Update: By February of 2005, the government was still throwing millions of taxpayer's money at new vaccines...
STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2005--Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine are conducting a clinical trial that will test whether a new type of smallpox vaccine can produce immunity in adults as well as -- or better than -- the vaccine currently available in the United States. They also hope to determine whether the new vaccine is safer than the old.
Personally, I don't want any government or pharmaceutical viral stews in my bloodstream.
Do you?
THE GOVERNMENT HAS
ITS CARDS ON THE TABLE
Most Americans don't seem to realize it yet, but when I read that Secretary Thompson wanted to rush through enough smallpox vaccine to inoculate every man, woman, and child in the U.S, I immediately knew the government was seriously worried about a smallpox "event."
That's when I really put my nose to the research grindstone and started digging even harder for alternatives to what appears to me may well be a dangerous smallpox vaccine thrown together by pharmaceutical companies that don't want to miss out on a huge piece of the estimated $500,000,000 to $1.9 billion-dollar pie involved with this project.
This sounds to me like another [Swine Flu Vaccine fiasco](javascript:doPopUp3()) in the making.
So, since I wanted intelligent, workable, alternative choices, I spent months researching everything I could find on the topic of smallpox -- in modern medical studies as well as in the archives of old health literature.
I also knew if I put in enough hours, I would find a wealth of interesting and potentially helpful information on the Internet. Information that would provide ancient as well as modern alternative "how to" approaches to either prevent or treat anthrax, smallpox, plague, and botulism.
Well, although I continue to update it as I learn more, I've essentially completed Biological Terror: A Consideration of Ancient and Alternative Treatments of Catastrophic Diseases, a Special Health & Beyond Report that provides alternatives you won't learn about in conventional approaches to bioterrorism.
WHAT IF, GOD FORBID,
SMALLPOX GETS LOOSE IN THE WORLD?
According to the Center for Disease Control and statistics from the past before smallpox was eradicated...
As many as 30% of the people who contract smallpox will die.
And, according to some, this 30% figure may well be conservative, given the fact that so many people these days are walking around with compromised immune systems that can barely ward off a cold much less a raging case of smallpox.
Anthony Browne, health editor of The Observer, in a story published in the United Kingdom on Sunday, October 21, 2001, wrote:
The British Government last week issued emergency guidance to health professionals on how to deal with an outbreak. The guidance, seen by The Observer, says smallpox is a serious threat because it is easily passed from person to person, has a fatality rate of up to 90 per cent, can kill in 48 hours, and few people have been vaccinated. "In the event of a deliberate release, it is unlikely that single, mild cases will occur - it is more likely that clusters of moderate to severe disease will be seen.
If smallpox does once again stalk this earth, I predict that medical facilities will be swamped with seriously sick people.
Many of the doctors will be ill with the same disease or may be unable to treat all their patients because of limited supplies of drugs and vaccines.
Even scarier, martial law may be declared, and you may be forced to choose between vaccination or enforced quarantine.
If this kind of horror show comes to be, I, for one, plan to hunker down in the safety of my home and take care of myself and my family rather than turning that responsibility over to medical doctors, homeland security "health authorities," police, or members of the army or national guard.
WHY YOU SHOULD
BE WARY OF HEALTH INFORMATION
I've been writing about the medical model versus the natural health model since 1993. During that time, I've learned the hard way that you have to diligently study information presenting many points of view before you can make a truly informed decision about what's right for your body and your health.
Believe me -- and I don't care who it is -- every person and organization writing about health has an agenda to promote. And if you don't think for yourself, there are all kinds of wolves in sheep's clothing who will happily relieve you of your hard-earned dollars.
Yes, I support my family by writing about natural health and thus I have my own agenda, but I also have a battle-scarred reputation in the natural health movement for "being all over the map" because I've publicly reversed my stance on more than one occasion when I learned that what I once believed to be true actually wasn't as clear-cut as was being presented.
Yes, I do write about health to earn my living, but I also do it as a labor of love because I want to advance the truth an inch or two beyond where it was when I started studying this field back in 1993.
So, in my special report, I'm not giving you definitive answers to bioterrorism diseases because I don't have them.
If anyone tells you they have definitive answers, run like hell because they're either lying or else trying to sell you something.
What I do provide in my special report is the best information I could find after months and months of extensive research -- information that offers you comprehensive, alternative knowledge about treating devastating illnesses.
Knowledge that you can use to develop a bioterrorism defense plan for your family.
It's information that I hope none of us will ever have to put to use.
LISTEN TO WHAT FOUR READERS
HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MY REPORT...
Your Bioterrorism report knocked my socks off! The amount of research you did, the opinions you included from professionals in health and science fields (both allopathic and homeopathic), and the number of links in your bibliographies all served to overwhelmingly impress me. After reading the report, I find myself feeling comforted in knowing what my options are in the event of a bioterrorist attack. This is definitely information that everyone should read. Thanks for your work in pulling it all together. I appreciated the bonus files, too!
