Learning medical self-reliance techniques can save your life or the life of a loved one. Having the ability to combat deadly infections can enable you to survive in the event of a pandemic disease outbreak or other crisis that cripples the medical system.

Of course, your immune system is your first and most important line of defense against any infection, and some prescription drugs actually weaken your natural defenses. Using natural supplements to help your body fight disease can save you a trip to the hospital, which itself can save your life.

The Centers for Disease Control says nearly 90,000 people die each year from antibiotic-resistant infections they get from hospitals! Imagine if there was a national emergency and you had an infection. Hospitals and public facilities would be completely overwhelmed – and dangerous to go near.

In this special report, you’ll learn surprisingly simple yet effective ways to protect yourself

from disease and even fight off infections for pennies on the dollar compared to what even a relatively routine doctor visit and prescription drug regimen would cost.

FDA Bureaucrats Thwart Bioterrorism and Flu Pandemic Preparations

Influenza expert Dr. Henry Miller says government plans to stockpile 50 million doses of

Tamiflu won’t even cover the needs of emergency workers (Tamiflu can mitigate the effects of some viruses). Since Tamiflu must be taken on an ongoing basis, and given a pandemic will likely come in multiple waves lasting 12-23 months, even the most optimistic projections for getting supplies to the general public are completely unrealistic. Consider: To supply 100 million Americans with enough Tamiflu to blunt the first wave of a pandemic, over 10 billion pills would have to be stockpiled!

Due to frivolous lawsuits and FDA micromanagement of drug research and development, there remain only two major U.S. plants capable of producing flu vaccines (down from 30+ major facilities 25 years ago). Scientific American reports the total worldwide production of flu vaccine has dwindled to roughly 300 million doses a year---not nearly enough to fill global demand, let alone immunize 300 million at-risk Americans.

“The supply chain is horribly thin,” admits flu vaccine specialist Erin Fox of Salt Lake City hospital. If a pandemic hits the U.S. it will dwarf the regional chaos sparked by Hurricane Katrina.

Biological terrorism is a reality that each and every American must be prepared for. So is emerging epidemics such as SARS and bird flu, which could require a swift response from drug and vaccine makers to ensure that the public is supplied with effective antidotes.

Unfortunately, zealous FDA gate-keeping has spawned a national vaccine shortage in 8

of 11 critical medicines--including chicken pox, diphtheria and tetanus. (The Wall Street

Journal reports that the number of U.S. vaccine manufacturers has dropped from 37 to 15. And the current alarming widespread unavailability of tetanus vaccine is because all but one maker has abandoned the market due to aggressive federal regulation).

Powerful Infection Fighters You Can Improvise from Your Pantry

You would be well advised to stock up on over-the-counter medications before any

emergency. Since you don’t know if or when a personal or social emergency will happen, the time to act is now. Any prescription medications that you require should be adequately stocked (i.e., don’t wait until you completely run out before getting refills). The best medications in the world are useless if you don’t have them and can’t get them.

But all is not lost if you are without any commercial antibiotics. There are many substances you can keep or create at home which will kill bacteria and possibly avert infections.

Water purification tablets contain iodine which is a powerful germicide. By increasing the amount dissolved in water (by using 5 to 15 tablets in a liter of water rather than the recommended amount), you can produce an antiseptic for rinsing wounds.

Garlic powder is a powerful germ killer and was used extensively on the battlefront before antibiotics became available. You can create a garlic extract or rub a freshly cut clove over the wound. To create the extract, boil cut cloves in water, then strain the vegetable matter out and use the liquid to rinse an affected area.

Salt water will also kill bacteria. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per liter of water. Other useful germ killers include bee honey (straight or dissolved in water) as well as refined sugar (straight or dissolved in water). In the southern US, sphagnum moss contains enough iodine to kill bacteria; be sure to boil this material so it will be free of germs. Again, use noncommercial, prepared materials with caution.

The tannic acid in tea is often useful for treating problems. If you don’t have tea available, you can boil the inner bark of a hardwood tree for 2 hours or more to release the tannic acid. Tannic acid is also found in acorns.

Parasitic infections of the bowels can generally be avoided if you’re careful. However, should you become infected and lack proper medicine, you can use home remedies that will have varying results. These work by changing the environment of the gastrointestinal tract to repel, damage, or stun parasites so they can be expelled from the body.

Among these remedies are:

• Salt water: Dissolve 4 tablespoons of salt in 1 liter of water and drink. Do not repeat this

treatment.

• Tobacco: Eat 1 to 1.5 cigarettes. The nicotine in the cigarette will kill or stun the worms long enough for your system to pass them. If the infestation is severe, repeat the treatment in 24 to 48 hours, but no sooner.

• Hot peppers: Peppers are most effective when they are a steady part of your diet. You

can eat them raw or put them in soups or rice and meat dishes. They create an environment that is prohibitive to parasitic attachment.

• Moderate doses of tea made from tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) or from wild carrot

leaves will rid you of some worms or intestinal parasites. Great care should be exercised in identifying wild carrots as several poisonous plants have very similar leaves. When in doubt, don’t be tempted to take a chance with your life.

Improvised Plant Medicines You’re probably not going to walk through your backyard and find plants that will replace

medications you normally buy in the drug store. However, there are some common plants in many areas that can be pressed into service in an emergency.

Before looking at specific medications you can create, it is good to be familiar with the

various terms used. A poultice is formed from crushed leaves or other plant parts, sometimes heated to

liquefy the oils in the leaves, which is applied to a wound or sore either directly or after wrapping the plant material in cloth or paper.

An infusion, tisane, or tea is a preparation of medicinal herbs for internal or external application. A small quantity of the herb is placed in a container and hot water poured over it, letting it steep (either covered or uncovered) so the chemicals in the plant material can dissolve into the water.

Decoction is the extract of a boiled down or simmered herb leaf or root. It is created by adding herb leaf or a root to water and then bringing them to a sustained boil or simmer, drawing chemicals into the water. The average ratio is about 28 to 56 grams (1 to 2 ounces) of herb to 0.5 liter of water.

Expressed juice is simply a liquid or sap squeezed from plant material and either applied to the wound or made into a medication. Salves are made by mixing the expressed juices of these plants with animal fat or vegetable oils.

Antiseptics that can be employed to cleanse wounds, sores, or rashes can be created from the expressed juice from wild or domestic onion or garlic, or the expressed juice from chickweed leaves or the crushed leaves of dock. You can also make antiseptics from a decoction of burdock root, mallow leaves or roots, or white oak bark. All these medications are for external use only as they may be poisonous on deep wounds.

Sedatives that will help a person relax or fall asleep may be useful for those recovering from a

disease or injury. You can create a mild sedative by brewing a tea made from mint leaves or passionflower leaves. Saint John’s Wart also has sedative properties.

Anti-fungal washes can be created with a decoction of walnut leaves or oak bark or acorns; these can be used to successfully treat ringworm and athlete’s foot. Apply frequently to the site, alternating with exposure to direct sunlight for maximum results.

There are also some specific diseases and ailments that can be targeted with herbal remedies:

• Diarrhea. You can treat this ailment by drinking tea made from the roots of blackberries and their relatives. White oak bark and other barks containing tannin are also effective. However, use them with caution when nothing else is available because of possible negative effects these chemicals can have on the kidneys. You can also stop diarrhea by eating white clay or campfire ashes. Tea made from cowberry, cranberry, or hazel leaves often works as well.

• Hemorrhaging. Medications that will reduce or stop bleeding can be formed from a

poultice created from puffball mushroom, from plantain leaves, or most effectively from the leaves of the common yarrow or woundwort (Achillea millefolium).

• Fevers can be treated with a tea made from willow bark, an infusion of elder flowers or

fruit, linden flower tea, or elm bark decoction.

• Colds and sore throats will be helped with a decoction made from either plantain leaves or willow bark. You can also use a tea made from burdock roots, mallow or mullein flowers or roots, or mint leaves.

• Aches, pains, and sprains can be treated with externally applied poultices or salves of

dock, plantain, chickweed, willow bark, garlic, or sorrel. • Itching from insect bites, sunburn, or plant poisoning rashes can be relieved by applying

a poultice of jewelweed (Impatiens biflora) or witch hazel leaves (Hamamelis virginiana). The jewelweed juice will help when applied to poison ivy rashes or insect stings. It works on sunburn nearly as well as aloe vera.

• Hemorrhoids can be treated with external washes from elm bark or oak bark tea,

from the expressed juice of plantain leaves, or from a Solomon’s seal root

decoction. • Constipation can be relieved by drinking decoctions from dandelion leaves, rose hips,

or walnut bark. Eating raw daylily flowers will also help. • Gas and cramps may be treated with a tea made from carrot seeds (which act as an

anti-flatulent); use tea made from mint leaves to settle the stomach.

In Case of an Anthrax Outbreak Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are necessary if a victim is to survive an anthrax

attack. Anti-anthrax serum, arsenals, and antibiotics offer excellent results with known strains of anthrax. Treatment following exposure to spores requires a massive dose of antibiotics during the first 24 hours in order to prevent a lethal buildup of toxins. The antibiotics of choice for treating anthrax are Penicillin G or Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) for a massive exposure. For mild cases caused by secondary exposure to the disease, tetracycline can be effective.

The hazard of infection from a contaminated environment can be reduced by sterilization of contaminated material before handling, use of protective clothing, use of a gas mask or other respirator, and maintenance of good sanitary facilities to avoid further spread of the disease. Great care must be exercised in moving the bodies and carcasses of men and beasts that have been killed by the disease.

Anthrax generally has a 1 to 5 day incubation period before a victim exposed to the spores becomes ill. However signs of illness may appear as early as 12 hours in some individuals. Spores delivered in a terrorist incident would probably be in a dry, powdered form looking something like dried cocoa. The human lethal dose is between 8,000 and 10,000 spores -- one heavy whiff of air laced with the dust.

Symptoms include tightness of the chest and the symptoms of a cold. Often victims will appear to recover (this is known as the "Anthrax eclipse"); this comes to an end around day four of the illness when victims will die from anthrax pneumonia. Oddly enough, human-to-human contact rarely if ever spreads this disease.

Effective decontamination of tools, floors, and other surfaces can be carried out with a mixture of a solution comprised of 10 percent formalin and 5 percent lye. As noted earlier, these chemicals are not meant for direct contact with human flesh and may produce dangerous fumes.

One of the most important things you can do to improve your chances of surviving a

germ-warfare attack is to strengthen your immune system. Though not widely known, a natural protein compound called dimethylglycine (DMG) can help you survive an anthrax attack. DMG has been shown to stimulate the immune system. Specifically, DMG increases antibody production.





877-371-1807

DMG has a wide variety of uses. Athletes, for instance, use it for energy, endurance, and muscle development. Because athletes tend to suffer from weakened immunity after strenuous exercise, they gain the additional benefit of DMG’s immune-enhancing properties.

Recent research has found that DMG has an especially powerful impact against anthrax.

In the event of an anthrax attack, DMG could very well save your life. Even if it doesn’t prevent or cure an anthrax infection, it could at least keep you alive long enough to obtain antibiotics.

It makes sense to keep some DMG in your medicine cabinet as insurance, especially if

you reside within a major metropolitan area that may be targeted by terrorists.

The Surprising Disease-Fighting Power of Silver One of the safest, most powerful, and most controversial infection fighters today is a remarkable substance called colloidal silver. Neither the U.S. government nor the nation’s largest pharmaceutical companies want you to use colloidal silver — which could only mean one thing: that it is effective enough to threaten their power in some way. Silver has been used for medical purposes for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks, for example, used silver vessels to keep various liquids fresh. American pioneers often trekked through the wilds with silver and copper coins in water casks to retard the growth of bacteria and algae. Silver dollars were also placed in containers of milk to keep it fresh. Medicinal silver compounds made their appearance in the late 1800s and were used widely until being replaced by antibiotics in the mid-20th Century. With nearly everyone in the medical community trumpeting antibiotics, and some predicting that new “wonder drugs” would wipe out all forms of disease, it seemed as though the use of silver for medical purposes would be relegated to the history books. It is true that if certain bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration had their way, colloidal silver would no longer be available. But it’s also true that colloidal silver’s medical uses are just now being fully appreciated. Far from being a relic from the past, colloidal silver is emerging as a viable alternative to prescription drugs and the other costly and often counterproductive treatments that are routinely foisted upon patients by the medical establishment.

What is Colloidal Silver? In scientific circles, the term “colloid” refers to a substance that consists of ultra-fine particles suspended in a medium of different matter. Colloidal silver is simply a solution of tiny particles of silver suspended in water. The particles are typically 0.01 to 0.001 microns in



7

diameter (about four-hundred thousandths to four millionths of an inch). Approximately one billion of these particles can fit into a cube 0.04 inches in size. Colloids were first identified in the mid 19th century. After much experimentation and investigation, it was discovered that some colloid solutions were able to pass through membranes of human cells. In 1920, Henry Crookes discovered that certain metals (such as silver), when in a colloidal state, have a germicidal effect while remaining harmless to the human body. Medically, colloids have several advantages. Vitamin companies have discovered that minerals in a colloidal solution are absorbed far more completely than the same minerals in pill form. Likewise, properly prepared colloidal silver is far superior to other forms of ingestible silver.

The Government’s War on Colloidal Silver Although colloidal silver is not a drug, when used as a nutritional supplement it can be effective in killing germs and helping your immune system fight off diseases. It can be purchased cheaply or made at home using a very simple procedure. Despite the tremendous practical advantages of colloidal silver, the government doesn’t want you to have it. Fortunately, though, the FDA has so far been unable to ban colloidal silver. Because colloidal silver was marketed before 1938, it was “grandfathered in” along with other drugs created before the FDA Act. There was no requirement for colloidal silver to undergo testing to prove its safety and efficacy to federal bureaucrats. The only stipulation under U.S. law is that it must be advertised and labeled for the same uses as it was before 1938 — not much of a handicap since it had been sold as a cure-all before 1938. But while old uses for colloidal silver solutions can be marketed legally, new ones can’t. Following the carnage of September 11 and the subsequent anthrax mailings, the FDA issued warnings that colloidal silver has not been proven to be an effective treatment for anthrax infections (no drug is known to be 100 percent effective against the deadly germ). In 2001 the FDA published four letters of warning that it had sent to distributors of colloidal silver. It’s all part of a renewed campaign by federal agencies and pharmaceutical interests to herd Americans back to government-approved antibiotics, which require a visit to a doctor and a prescription for even the most minor of uses.

The FDA continues to “warn” the public that colloidal silver has not been proven to be effective in combating any illnesses (new or old), despite the fact that colloidal silver has a proven track record dating back to before the FDA was even created, and despite the fact that many well-respected medical professionals endorse colloidal silver for use in a wide variety of applications.

The FDA and some members of the medical establishment respond virulently to any notion of an alternative to antibiotics and other prescription drugs for fighting disease-causing pathogens. FDA regulators can sometimes be quite nasty in their attacks against companies





877-371-1807

offering these products. For example, the FDA released this message, on the heels of the 2001 anthrax-laced mail events: “There is no credible evidence to suggest that dietary supplements on the market will prevent or treat anthrax.”

There is also no credible evidence suggesting that taking a dietary supplement or colloidal silver is harmful, or should be avoided. Taking such a product might help to build up one’s immune system and prevent many of these microorganisms from taking hold in the first place.

On the other hand, there is considerable “credible evidence” that Cipro, the preferred

treatment to fight Anthrax, and other similar antibiotics, have several mild to severe side effects. If you have Anthrax, Cipro may be the only hope for saving your life. But if you are merely deemed “at risk” of Anthrax exposure, Cipro’s potential adverse effects on your health may not be worth any preventative value it offers.

Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotic treatments, colloidal silver has no known side effects

(when used in appropriate moderation), despite what some government officials and so-called experts say. Absolutely nothing in the past 100 years of medicine has the history, laboratory testing, and tens-of-thousands of personal testimonials as a safe treatment for so many maladies. Yet, the FDA and some multinational pharmaceutical spokespersons would like you to believe that this natural product is totally unsafe.

Is It Really Safe? The government and the drug companies would like you to believe that colloidal silver is dangerous. But it’s far less dangerous than a lot of the prescription drugs that have the FDA’s seal of approval. The only probable side effect of colloidal silver is a loss of “friendly” bacteria. Colloidal silver, like antibiotics, kills some of the digestive flora in the intestinal tract. But silver is far less disruptive of digestive bacteria than most antibiotics. The plentiful bacteria in the digestive tract seem to be able to withstand silver to a larger extent than foreign bacteria. Any loss of helpful bacteria that colloidal silver may cause can be made up for by eating yogurt or taking probiotic supplements.

Unlike antibiotics, colloidal silver does not promote the development of more virulent strains of germs; nor does it weaken the immune system. Moreover, there are no known drug-interaction hazards associated with colloidal silver. And, unlike the continued use of antibiotics, regular use of colloidal silver does not harm the liver, kidneys, or other organs.

It is true that when colloidal silver is used indiscriminately and excessively, a disease known as argyria can develop. Argyria results from excessive buildup of silver deposits in the body. This irreversible condition is easy to spot; the rare sufferers have a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin. With exposure to sunlight, skin patches tainted by silver can turn a



9

dark, blackish color. The condition is caused when silver salts get trapped in tissue, oxidizing to a dark color. Other than skin discoloration, argyria causes little other health problems and is not fatal.

Argyria is an extremely rare condition. There are no known cases of argyria developing in individuals who use colloidal silver in proper moderation.

Possible Uses for Colloidal Silver If you have doubts about the medical value of silver, consider that even today it is still a common practice for hospitals to use a silver nitrate solution as a topical eye drop to prevent eye infections in newborns. Silver is so effective at fighting off infection, that NASA scientists developed silver substances to protect astronauts while away from Earth and ensure that they wouldn’t return with an unknown infection. For years, NASA doctors have called on specially developed silver nitrate solutions to purify astronauts’ drinking water.

In 2004, NASA began working with a company called Domestic Fabrics. It makes bed sheets and other fabrics that are embedded with silver molecules, which inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. Astronauts may soon be wearing silver-threaded clothing and sleeping in beds laced with silver to prevent odors caused by bacteria and potential infections.

Colloidal silver has antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, so it can treat virtually any type of infection. In fact, no microorganism put through laboratory testing has been able to stay alive longer than six minutes after being exposed to colloidal silver. Colloidal silver can be taken internally, dropped into the ears, eyes, or nose, or applied topically to cuts and wounds. It can be added to water collected from questionable sources to make it safer for drinking.

Citizens who have colloidal silver readily available may be better equipped to defend themselves against a bioterrorist attack. A major outbreak would cripple medical facilities, making antibiotics or any form of treatment difficult to obtain. Colloidal silver could provide your immune system with the assistance it needs to fight an infection of anthrax, pneumonic plague, botulism, or other condition. At the very least, it could “buy time” until you’re able to obtain professional treatment.*

The FDA suggests that colloidal silver would be useless in the event of a biological

attack. But former CIA microbiologist Larry C. Harris — a man who knows a thing or two about biological warfare — has affirmed that colloidal silver is effective against a myriad of biological agents, including anthrax.

How to Obtain Colloidal Silver

There are a few medicinal silver products available at specialty stores. Some manufacturers claim that their products contain genuine colloidal silver. But you should be skeptical about any manufactured “colloidal silver” product. Many people are led to confuse silver salt compounds with colloidal silver solutions. Even if the colloidal silver product is genuine, it has undoubtedly lost much of its potency through the manufacturing process and the time spent sitting on the shelf. It is difficult to find quality colloidal silver products. Many reputable manufacturers and retailers of health and nutritional products, worried about a possible FDA ban or other government crackdown, won’t market any colloidal silver products. Even if you find colloidal silver on the shelves at a store today, it may not be there tomorrow. It could be discontinued by the manufacturer, or the FDA could find a way to ban its sale, at any time. The surest, most cost-effective way to obtain fresh, high-quality colloidal silver is to make it yourself. Don’t worry, it’s not a complicated process at all and doesn’t require any fancy equipment. In fact, you can obtain your own colloidal silver home generator, complete with enough pure silver wire to make gallons of colloidal silver, for less than $300. The primary supplies you’ll need to create colloidal silver are:

• pure silver wire; • sea salt; • distilled water; • a 9-volt battery.

Colloidal silver should always be produced by the electro-colloidal/non-chemical

method. During this process, the silver particles and water have been completely “colloided.” In other words, they are evenly dispersed and held in suspension by an electrical current sent through the combination. The colloidal method, correctly employed, ensures that the silver particles are less than 0.01 micron in diameter. Larger silver particles found in non-colloidal solutions are less effective and can even be harmful.

Small particles work more efficiently than larger ones. Small particles can penetrate more areas of the body. And since there are lots of them and they cover a large surface area, there is a good probability that they will reach areas populated by microbes.

American Lantern Press is pleased to offer readers a complete colloidal silver home

generator kit for the rock-bottom price of $179! It comes with everything you need to get



11

started, including two 99.9% pure silver rods (a $20 value) — enough to make gallons of colloidal silver.

The generator itself is powered by a standard 9-volt battery, which means it can be used in emergencies, power outages, and camping trips. Since colloidal silver can purify water for drinking, this is a tremendous advantage.

Included with your generator is an information-packed manual, written by a medical

expert, which covers the nuts and bolts of colloidal silver and gives a complete overview of its numerous medical applications. The manual provides essential tips on how to prepare, store, and use your colloidal silver solution to get the most out of it. You won’t find this important information in any bookstore!

You can get your very own colloidal silver generator and companion manual for just $179 – or an even better deal, two for $279. (Quantities are limited. Prices and availability as of this writing are subject to change.) It’s risk free. If you are not 100% satisfied with the generator, return it within 30 days for a full refund. To place your order, please call toll-free: 877-371-1807.

How to Use Colloidal Silver

Some people take colloidal silver only when they are feeling ill. Others take colloidal silver daily as a preventative measure.

Colloidal silver can be prepared in concentrations ranging from 3 to 20 parts per million (ppm). Anything less than 3 ppm may be too weak to have much of an effect. Anything stronger than 20 ppm may toxic.

Among those who have studied colloidal silver extensively, most agree that somewhere

around a tablespoon to an ounce per day of 5-10 ppm colloidal silver can be used as a safe and effective method of preventing infectious illness and boosting overall immunity. If an infection does take hold, it may be advantageous to take several ounces of colloidal silver daily until the infection is gone.

If prepared and taken properly, colloidal silver could give you what your doctor won’t: a safe, inexpensive, and highly effective weapon against disease. However, colloidal silver will not “cure” every infection, and this informational report does not provide medical advice specific to your health issues. So please see a doctor if you are ill and heed the advice you are given. Remember: Colloidal silver is a nutritional supplement which may promote wellness and may help boost your body’s defenses against infection, but it is not a drug and should not be used as a substitute for any drug that your doctor may prescribe. Colloidal silver should be used as a dietary supplement and/or kept as part of a comprehensive emergency first-aid kit.
