Bio-Terrorism:
Man-caused Plagues and Survival

by Jim Lynn

Human history has demonstrated two facts we need to
remember. 1: Bacteria and viruses have killed millions
of human beings. 2: Human beings use these deadly
pathogens as weapons of war.

Disclaimer:
In this report you will learn how to survive lethal exposure
to anthrax and small pox. The natural applications against
germ warfare discussed herein are not well-established medical
practices. They are best considered speculative, but reasonable,
given the urgent and widespread risks of biological attack for
which there is no precedent, nor adequate scientific research.
Discussions herein are intended to provide self-help strategies
under emergency circumstances in which professional care is
unavailable, as is anticipated following large-scale exposures
of unprotected populations to lethal biologicals.

This information is for educational purposes only. It is intended
to help in the event of biological attack. It is not provided in
order to diagnose or treat any disease, illness, or injury.

As I begin this letter on October 3rd, 2001, a Congressional
hearing is underway in Washington D.C. discussing how to
prevent, prepare and respond to the release of deadly pathogens.
Emotionally, the spector of a man-caused plague is frightening.
But the horror of September 11th is real. We can no longer
take our safety and security for granted.

According to a growing body of authority, bio-terrorism is not
a question of if, but when. (1) Certainly, the events of September
11th should tell us so. If human beings are willing to use a
passenger jet to kill 6,000 people, they are willing to release
a deadly pathogen into the air capable of killing millions.

When the time comes (and it will come), there will be two
kinds of people affected: Those who are prepared, and those
who are not prepared. Our government will do all it is capable
of doing to respond to the release of deadly microbes. But
unless we are each prepared beforehand, there is little that
can be done to respond after the fact.

The Enemy's Weapon of Choice:

There are three weapons of mass destruction terrorists may
use against us; mechanical explosives, biological or chemical
agents. Explosives, though hideous, are limited to a relatively
small area. Chemical dispersion can impact a wide area, but
requires extensive technology and the means to import and
keep it hidden. Biological pathogens, on the other hand, are
relatively easy to produce, hide and release. No one should
dismiss any of the three, but with what is known the most
likely weapon to be used is biological; namely, anthrax
bacillus and the small pox virus.

Lethal pathogens like the small pox virus and anthrax bacillus
have always been with us. They are part of the natural world
we live in. But nature also provides mankind with a marvelous
built-in self-defense system to thwart off biological invasion
of these pathogens. It is our body's own immune system.

Nature's Defense System:

The body's immune system working at full steam is an unbeatable
ally. In fact, a fully functioning immune system will defeat an
anthrax, small pox or influenza invasion every time. This is
nature's safeguard for our survival. But when an immune system
becomes compromised and is not able to function at 100% of its
capability, lethal microbes may overpower the body to the point
of death.

The swine influenza plague of 1918, which killed an estimated
25 million people world-wide is one such example. The people
who died were those whose immune system was not capable
of defeating the virus. Meanwhile, millions more who were
exposed to the virus survived. They did so because their
immune systems were healthy enough to overpower and defeat
the spread of the virus in their body. The plague ended
only after the virus had run its course around the world
and died for lack of finding an environment (human body)
to reproduce itself.

According to the Centers For Disease Control, there are
an estimated 150 million people in the U.S. suseptible to
lethal microbes, simply because their immune systems are
compromised. This means half our population is a sitting
duck for any lethal pathogenic outbreak that comes along,
be it an influenza, HIV, cold, small pox virus, or a
bacteria outbreak like anthrax bacillus.

You do not need to be a scientist or medical doctor to
recognize healthy individuals. These are people who never
get sick. Everyone around them can be fighting off a cold
or flu, but they themselves never so much as get a sniffle.
These are the people who are prepared. Their immune system
is their protection. They will survive small pox, anthrax,
influenza or any other kind of pathogenic infection. On the
other hand, those of us who easily fall ill (colds, flu, etc)
indicate compromised immune systems, and are at
greatest risk to biological weapons of war or any
potentially lethal pathogen.

To illustrate: In a study of 1,900 prostitutes in Nairobi,
Kenya, only 4 of them were found infected with HIV, the virus
that causes AIDS. These are women who had unprotected sex
with 60 to 70 HIV infected clients a year. (2) Clinical science
has no answer to explain why. However, it is this writer's
opinion these prostitutes have immunity to AIDS because
their natural immune systems keep them healthy. This is
why some 125 million Americans suffer from chronic illness.
Their body's natural immune defense system is only partially
functional.

First Line of Defense:

Building the body's immune system must be our first
line of defense. Just eating healthy foods is not enough
to do this. The nutrient value of our commercially grown
food supply (meat, grain and produce) falls far below the
value of the same foods grown just 40 years ago. In addition,
pharmaceutical drugs and aging take their toll on nutrient
absorption. This is why the natural food supplement industry
has taken root the way it has.

In addition, the average person's gut lacks the friendly bacteria
and enzymes needed to properly assimilate food intake. For
instance, Lactobacilli, commonly found in healthy guts, helps
prevent infections from eating foods contaminated with biologicals
such as Botulism. A healthy gut micro flora also helps with the
elimination of harmful cholesterol, toxic chemicals, and cancer-
causing compounds, both natural and man-made. More than 90%
of human immunity is, in fact, tied to lymphatic activity
around the gut. Consequently, a healthy immune system is
largely dependent on the intestinal flora. (3)

The combination of eating foods low in nutrition coupled with
the lack of intestinal flora, means unless we take active steps
to improve our food and digestive system we cannot maintain
our God-given immunity.

So the first defense in biological warfare is to rebuild the
body. Four steps widely recognized for building the body's
immune system includes: 1) detoxify the body, 2) deacidify
the body, 3) boost natural immunity, and 4) oxygenate blood
and body tissues.

To provide you with a resource for rebuilding the body's natural
defense system, Essential Oils Online has prepared a report of
specific immune-building products that do exactly that. For a

Indecision is Deadly:

Now is not the time to squander on the safety and security
of your family. Building your body's immune system will cost
you money. You will be faced perhaps with spending money on
supplements intended elsewhere. But remember, the question
is not a matter of where to spend your money, but one of survival
itself. If you think of re-building your body's immune system as
being "expensive," to what would you compare it to? Think!
Again, there are two kinds of people: Those who are prepared,
and those who are not. The difference could well mean your
survival.

Food Supplies:

Consider what could happen to food supplies in the wake of an
anthrax attack. Cattle herds would likely need to be slaughtered
causing a run on remaining beef and dairy supplies. Prices for
these commodities would skyrocket. Contaminated grains might also
need to be burned to prevent further spreading of the anthrax
spores during harvesting and transport. Prices would likely rise
here as well. There may be greatly increased demand for flour,
grains, dried cereal, and probably other baking supplies as
well. (4)

Knowing this ahead of time gives you a heads up warning to begin
stock-piling a durable food supply for your family. If a homeland
biological attack never happens, you will have lost nothing. You
simply eat your stored food supply. But if such an attack does
occur, you will have a food stock for your family.

Water is also important in time of crisis. Prudence dictates
that we each stock-pile a supply of drinking water in case
of loss of electricity, or contamination of the water supply.

Emergency Prevention of Exposure:

Many people have come to me wanting to know how they can
protect themselves from airborne infectious pathogens when
in public places. The answer, while it may appear radical
and unbecoming, is to use a dust mask impregnated with
several drops of antibacterial, antiviral essential oils.

Dr. Jean Valnet, a well-known french medical researcher,
is on record as saying that the essential oil of thyme kills
anthrax bacillus on contact. Another oil to consider is a blend
from Young Living Essential Oils, Inc. called Thieves. While
Thieves has not been tested specifically against anthrax,
so far as I know, it has proven to be deadly effective
against many other forms of deadly pathogens. (5)

Dust masks may be purchased in quantity (50 to a package)
at any industrial welding supply house. they may also be
purchased at discount home centers like Lowes, but they
will be packaged in smaller quantity.

To use, simply drip several drops of oil onto the surface
of the absorbent mask and position the mask over your nose.
With a snug fit, incoming air must pass through the oil soaked
mask and through a small chamber of air within the mask. This
air pocket will be filled with volatilized oil. Using a mask
in this manner is untested, but the principle is the same
as creating a killing zone in the lab, and placing it between
your nose and the outside world.

Believe it...When an outbreak does happen, you will not want to
be in a public place without this set-up. So let me recommend
that you begin stocking oils and set in a supply of dust masks.

Using oil impregnated dust masks may also be considered
when tending to loved ones sickened from the flu or cold,
when a diffuser is not available.

Conclusion:

The tragedy of September 11th, 2001 forever changed our world.
We can no longer live the way we did before that infamous date,
without taking precautions for our own safety and health. The
future now belongs to those who are prepared for what was once
unthinkable before September 11th.

Our government is doing all it can to protect us from attack,
and I thank God for His blessing of allowing me to live in
America. But I also know know that God helps those who help
themselves. And we are capable of doing just that.

Let me urge you to discuss the importance of good nutrition with
your family. Give priority to building strong immune systems to
your loved ones by giving them supplements that strengthen the
immune system. The cost in doing so is slight compared to
the unthinkable alternative. Again, there will be two kinds
of people: Those who are prepared, and those who are not.
