THE ANTIDOTE - Bioweapons, Health, and the Individual

by Doc Holliday
from the Laissez Faire City Times


Ever read one of those Internet articles on biowarfare? Have you seen the TV tabloid terror shows about government incompetence/malfeasance with the handling of biological agents of horrifyingly destructive power? Did you read the Hot Zone by Richard Preston or see his article in the New Yorker this week called "The Bioengineers"?

I have seen all of the above, and I'm shocked. I am shocked at the insanity of blindly believing "national interests" are at stake and governments should "do something" to protect "the people." I am repulsed by the stupidity of immediately turning to government for solutions to problems that are in fact a consequence of the world-wide growth in nation-state power over the individual during the last three centuries.

The development and use of weapons of mass destruction are a gross example of what happens when large numbers of people stop concentrating on producing economic values for themselves as individuals and start organizing to control others. Bio-weapons and nukes are what you get when people start gathering together for some mythical greater good to produce political values over economic ones. Millions of otherwise intelligent minds engaged in worthless activity supposedly to protect "the people" and the "others" of altruistic legend such as the "exploited", the "children", and the "freedom fighters for democracy."

Bioweapons are merely the latest evil to spawn from these busy bodies who have grown like topsy in the 20th century -- the greatest century of mass murder and war fever in history. Long before bioweapons made the TV ratings sweeps week modern life had given us the mass insanities of WW I and WW II in which all the following niceties were imposed upon the various "peoples:" FDR's boys rounded up tens of thousands of Americans of Japanese-descent and put them in concentration camps (at least they didn't kill too many of them). Stalin personally gave the orders for millions of tortures, murders and mass forced migrations resulting in an amazing death toll - somewhere around 30 million. We all know Hitler's inglorious story - millions of Jews, Gypsies, and assorted nonconformists murdered. Mao - another perennial favorite for nomination to the Butchers and Bastards Hall of Fame - wiped out millions more in order to save them from improper politics. These are "atrocities" and always referred to as "war crimes" and Hitler is vilified by one and all as the evil doer par excellence - never mind the fact that all the legendary bastards like Mao, Stalin, FDR, and Hitler had the complicity of millions of their own people. It took a lot of manpower to pull off a good mass killing or build a good large detainment camp in those times.

In any catalog of 20th century nationalist murders lets not leave out those innovators - the newly peace-loving Japanese. They were the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in which about 250,000 Japanese civilians were incinerated or died from radiation poisoning, but there was also a far less publicized city in China, Nanking, which the Japanese army wiped out almost overnight (but didn't need weapons of mass destruction to do it like those American pansies and their Enola Gay). George Will, in his February 19th article of this year, revisits Nanking and the 300,000 murders achieved there with conventional means - door to door so to speak - in a matter of weeks. They distinguished themselves from the mediocre in killing by hand more people than died in the nuclear fires of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, with time thrown in for raping and torturing even small children. What fun the history of the modern world has turned out to be with national governments here to protects us all. It's amazing that anyone, much less the millions of patriotic sleep walkers who proudly call themselves citizens of the "great" nation states, can identify themselves with "their" government . "We've got to protect the American Way of Life from evil Saddam," says Bloodthirsty Joe-Bob. I haven't yet mentioned the endless cycle of African slaughters or the scores of political murders officially ruled suicides and dubbed by the incredulous as spontaneous Clinton type "Arkanicides", but those are other stories of "national history" so let's not get lost in Conspiracy theory territory.

Bioweapons and Government Terrorism
Why have we produced globally a number of groups of highly intelligent scientists who are happily churning out the new terrorizing flavor of the month - bioweapons? It is no surprise: we have entire societies built around large numbers of intelligent people producing nothing but politically powerful and economically useless "labor."

Why are we shocked by bioweapons and enraged at Saddam Hussein for daring to have the absolute smallest stockpiles/production capacity of this stuff of any power in the Middle East--far behind Syria, Iran, Egypt, and of course the heavyweight in mass destruction capability, Israel? Governments, which are by nature anti-economic and anti-individual, are the largest employers in every developed country on the planet regardless of which religion, doctrine, or side you are talking about. Huge organizations of people, in both western and eastern societies, produce no economic values and so must turn their energies to producing political ones. Politics today has nothing to do with the individual (except maybe to get him to submit to the group) so citizenship becomes lifelong civic training in the weakness of character required to produce things which are only valuable in manipulating various opposing groups. The fact that these groups switch back and forth a lot is irrelevant to the production of good political "value".

Outside of the muslim world, no one is upset that the US bankrolled and aided Saddam in the 80's during his ten year war with Iran when it was the modern Iranian hydra head of that historical nemesis, Persia, as the convenient enemy. Today the US allows Iranian air strikes through its no-fly zone into Iraq because Saddam is now an easiert target for scaring up votes by comparisons with Hitler. That was then, after all, and this is now. You cannot get in the way of the machine of political progress with historical facts or rational thinking - we have millions of people world-wide engaged in full time production of nothing but labor and material oriented towards political use rather than economic values. What do you expect these busy bodies to produce? Peace? It would put them out of work!

Lets not shock ourselves with lurid historical and current events in this article any more than necessary - that's the purview of television documentaries and Clinton press conferences. I'm here to stimulate the mind, not titillate the fear-ridden imagination.

This article is about antidotes. Yes, it is about antidotes to biological weapons. In particular, one very common antidote that the poorest mother can afford to protect her family and still have some left over to help her less prepared neighbors like the good citizen she was taught to be in civics classes at her "free," compulsory, state schools. In addition, the reader awakening to his own individual integrity and rational capacity may also find the seeds of much more subtle antidotes to the virulent philosophies which have been at epidemic levels throughout all of the 20th century and show no signs of abating.

I'm going to tell the story of a personal anecdote about a simple, obvious antidote to terrifying biological attacks of immense destructive potential. Perhaps the reader will be able to glimpse another, non-prescription, antidote to the infectious mindset spread by the global insanity of true believer citizenship by which the masses temporarily elevate their egos and lifestyles by their participation in the production of political "values" instead of economic ones.

Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide - plain water and an extra oxygen molecule, H202 - can stop much of the devastation of bioweapons. It is far and away the most overall effective anti-viral "antibiotic" known today in terms of cost and results. It costs pennies to produce, can be manufactured in huge quantities in little time, and is extraordinarily effective, as are various methods of using other compounds such as Ozone - which is plain air, 02 with an extra molecule of oxygen, 03 - both release activated, singlet oxygen into the body, O1.

Do you know why they put burn victims and pop star Michael Jackson into hyperberic chambers? Because burn victims don't die from burns: they usually die first from sepsis due to bacterial infection. The hyperberic chamber produces a high atmospheric pressure into which they pump extra oxygen which gets forced by the high pressure into the tissues of the burn victim. Much of it breaks down into its components of singlet oxygen killing the bacteria and viruses before they have a chance to multiply in the open burn sores. All harmful bacteria and viruses are unable to live in a high oxygen environment. The Science of it boils down to the fact that activated free electrons from singlet oxygen bond to the bacteria and viruses in a chemical reaction that strips them of their own electrons and they die. Sunlight and other forms of radiation (unbound electrons) also kill these microbes which is why most bio-attacks are planned for night-time and are more effective in cities where atmospheric oxygen levels are lower due to dust and pollution.

There is plenty of research behind how oxygen works in the body -- much more scientifically explained than my simple and general explanation. But not much is publicized about it outside of emergency medicine such as burn units and what are considered "quack" venues such as the "alternative medicine" crowd. Why? Oxygen is ubiquitous and cannot be patented by drug companies and thus doesn't hold any interest to government agencies like the FDA either - they always follow the money.

Hydrogen Peroxide, which can be diluted in water and taken as a beverage internally, is mass produced by chemical factories world-wide as an inexpensive commodity. Some farmers even mix it in their irrigation systems to keep harmful bacteria levels down in the soil and on their crops allowing the helpful microbes and organism to flourish.

Would you drink hydrogen peroxide without a prescription? You can't get one. It's not FDA approved. Not much suprise there: my father is a Yale Med. School and NIH trained neurologist, and he - along with several other professionals queried when I happened to stumble upon this substance in my post-college-drop-out travels - claimed that hydrogen peroxide is a poison when taken internally. Yes, at the wrong concentrations, it definitely is poisonous- fire is also a poison to the human body at the wrong concentrations, but we have built whole industries and an entire civilization around its benefits. Despite the dire claim of my original authority figure and a brilliant doctor, I proceeded to ingest very large amounts of hydrogen peroxide over several months (and continue to do so from time to time for the last 8 years) by diluting 35% food grade H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) in plain water.

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, 35% H202, is the stuff they put in "aseptic packaging": those little juice boxes which you puncture with a straw to drink from, in order to keep them from spoiling and to provide a shelf life to perishable liquids without refrigeration. The results to me personally, after many years of very high dosages, were not poisoning, illness, or death but rather a flooding of the body with higher levels of active oxygen and a corresponding increase in every healthy chemical reaction therein.

Singlet oxygen is what your body produces to burn food for energy, destroy pathogens, etc. in your body when you breath. You breath in stable O2, regular air oxygen, and your body uses enzymes to break it down into two singlet oxygen molecules which are highly reactive in two ways which give both life and death. The first way, life, is the chemical process by which energy is produced by your body -- burning food. The second, death, is the process by which your body uses singlet oxygen to kill and burn up pathogens, toxins, and other harmful substances in your body so the left over burned up waste particles can be effectively transported out of the body by your lymph system, an if necessary, treated by "antioxidant" vitamins and nutrients .

"Anti- oxidant" is a funny term that highlights the life/death duality of oxygen. Antioxidants are nutrients that your body uses to clean up the toxins and "free radicals" produced by harmful microbes as well as other harmful stuff in your body such as leaky blood cells. Copper and iron, for instance, are a minerals that react badly, under the wrong circumstances, with oxygen in your body. If you have a damaged blood cell that is leaking copper or iron then your body has to use "antioxidants" such as vitamin C to clean up the toxic reaction before the chemical reaction gets out of hand and causes damage to cells in the neighborhood. This makes sense if you think about all those bronze statues of national bastards -excuse me, heroes - such as Lenin and Lincoln that turn green because the copper in them reacts with the oxygen in the air. Your body is the most marvellous chemical labratory/factory that universe has shown us.

No Need to Call the Medical Mafia
The fear by the myopic establishment is that taking highly unstable hydrogen peroxide into your body will cause the "free radical" oxygen to kill healthy cells instead of harmful ones. H202 is very unstable and breaks down into water and activated singlet oxygen, O1, very quickly in the body. This fear seems a little ridiculous to me since your body already has a mechanism for controlling this process as it uses free radical oxygen every minute of your existence in this life/death cycle. If we didn't have those controls we'd be methane breathers not oxygen breathers. So I went ahead and swallowed lots of it.

I lived. It wasn't a miracle. I didn't start a clinic, a shrine for pilgrimages, or go on a TV talk show. It was simple biochemistryself-treatment that even this college dropout could understand. I happily went on with perfect health to pursue my "higher calling" - entrepreneurial money grubbing. I had no desire to take my knowledge and become a "healer." Even making money off it didn't appeal to me because I'd have been sure to attract the attention of the medical Mafia - the FDA.

You may think I have no credentials nor any real Science behind the descriptions I just gave nor could I get a real scientist to take them seriously. You are right. But frankly I'm not interested in what you, or anyone else, scientist or not, thinks on this subject - positive or negative. Health is the ultimate in personal topics. It is completely non-political, non-social, and totally individual. Every person must make their own judgements about their own bodies and only they have to live with the consequences. No matter how hard I try or Hillary promotes me with her health-speak, it truly is impossible for me to "feel your pain."

Unless I am unconscious or the prisoner of a slave state the only person who decides what treatments go into my body is me - the experts are allowed to voice an opinion and do what I hire them to do, but I'm the one gambling with life or death if their opinions are wrong. I'm the only one who has to live in my body; the doctors are often very intelligent people but they all head for the golf course when they leave the room. I'm stuck with the consequences. I decided long ago I'd rather live with the consequences of my own errors rather than those of someone, no matter how highly trained, who is licensed by the government. Governments are by nature reactive not proactive. From an early age I've always wanted to live well - not merely get government approval in reacting badly to the consequences of living poorly.

I have nearly a decade of study and far more importantly, personal experience with this substance, hydrogen peroxide (oxygen) - at levels that I was told would poison or kill me if I proceeded with them. Many hours were wasted during my naive youth attempting to get doctors, many of whom I'd grown up around all my life, and other intelligent people to look into the incredibly powerful uses of singlet oxygen in fighting disease. Today I only comment when its relevant to an interesting topic such as biowarfare. It's relatively hopeless to get the "experts" to show real interest without many years of slowly expanding the horizons of indoctrinized training. My father is finally starting to see the light after 8 years of my consistency on the subject, but he is a rare genius, relatively open minded, and has persevered through enough setbacks in pursuit of knowledge not to be overly afflicted with doctoral egomania. (He is currently producing remarkable results using high doses of certain "alternative" vitamins and amino acids in reversing the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease with patients in his practice in the midwest of the United States.)

Now for my anecdotal story about hydrogen peroxide and its use on one particularly resilient form of bio-attack on the human body. Scientists hate anecdotal evidence, and I don't blame them, it's totally unscientific.

About 12 years ago, unbeknownst to her, a good friend of mine contracted Hepatitis C, the form of hepatitis which is supposedly incurable but treatable - you always have it once you are infected. The official line: you can survive with this virus but it gradually destroys your liver and you have to alter your lifestyle dramatically to prevent deadly infections and further liver damage. She had it for more than a decade before finally being diagnosed. She was also informed that she had Epstein Barr and about 25 other virus which her weakened liver and immune system had allowed to take hold.

After a liver biopsy she was determined to have barely more than a third of her liver left in healthy function after years of hosting this and other viruses - much like severe alchoholics. (In case you don't know what a biopsy is - this is when they stick a big needle into whichever organ is afflicted, in her case the liver, and extract out a piece of your organ - very painful process as the nerves or the tissues surrounding the sick organ are highly sensitized - so they can examine the cells and tissues.) The diagnosis was not good: incurable viral infection which had years to take hold.

In what her doctors were telling her would now be her former life, she had been the physical trainer - with a stunning physique and wonderful buoyant personality - for a billionaire entrepreneur. Struggling to continue working but vastly reduced in energy and clients, she was getting desperate for solutions. Although I am not a doctor nor in any kind of health practice, I am known amongst my friends to have very strong views on the subject of health and the treatment of disease. She came me to me very scared and depressed. Was there anything she could do to maintain the lifestyle she loved? What could I tell her to make her feel better about dealing with this terrible assualt from nature?
Reality Happens

I told her that she was f--ked. Extremely crude, horribly insensitive and abrasive as my answer was at the time; nevertheless, I knew it was the right one. In life.... reality happens. Ignore reality and you are going to get carried out of the game one way another, probably in an extremely unpleasant fashion. Face up to the facts and you have a very good chance of controlling your own destiny and living they way you choose - a free, thinking individual. Not a hapless lemming at the mercy of what others and their political machinations choose for you as you join the madness of popular thought which in good times lead to happenings like our current manic stock market bubble followed by bad times which lead to all things described above about the 20th Century of Murder.

I told her that she was going to get f--ked by the medical establishment who don't have a clue about disease in general, but who would intimidate her with endless jargon loaded minutiae and use their status as government and popularly approved "experts" to pressure her into appeasement at every turn. "Just do as I say, its all FDA approved, so I can get to the golf course for tee time."

I told her that she was also going to get f--ked by the alternative medicine crowd because she wouldn't know who to believe or to trust amongst a bunch of want-to-be's who are more interested in replacing the current allopathic authorities as the new "experts" and FDA do-gooders in charge of the "public trust" than they are in just stating the truth - which would be far more beneficial. The uncertainty of the conflicting and/or hopeless messages from these government liscenced and self-proclaimed "experts" would prevent her from the only course of action which would help her: namely, a self-directed, long term commitment to simple powerful methods of empowering her body to eradicate the virus from her blood and tissues. I suggested that very few peole have the courage to think for themselves or the discipline to sustain a solitary opinion when under intense pressure. (how do you think it was possible for "normal" middle class Germans to believe that "the Jew" was out to get them and therefore were just like cockroaches to be exterminated?) I informed her that if she allowed herself to drift with the "normal" societal current, which - in most cases but particularly this one - was completely ignorant - that she would live a broken life both physically and mentally - wracked both by pain and fear.

Not very positive am I? She didn't like my answer much either and nearly ended our friendship. Caught up in fear and the Hillary-speak mentality of her "right" to health, she wanted others to be responsible for her even if only to make her comfortable while the incurable infection takes it course. The great American mass pyschology of appeasement and "caring."

She wanted the "magic pill" and the authority figures to come in make the decisions. I persisted in asserting that there was no magic pill but after a few years, if she seized control of her own life, that she could be better than ever before. Every other authority in her life was telling her that she was incurable and had to change her lifestyle to one of appeasement to this disease or she would die. This is an incredibly active woman who didn't relish the prospect of a lifestyle revolving around "managing" her incurable disease. My message from day one, and everyday we spoke together thereafter: despite the small amount of liver still functioning I believed she was totally capable of becoming a better person, physically and mentally, than ever before. I asserted to her that there is a seed of greater benefit in every adversity and that this was her opportunity to prove it to herself when the pressure was on. I proclaimed repeatedly that she didn't have to settle for "management" of the disease.

Naturally she responded at first as if I were nuts, but she still sought my company because I was the only person who wasn't weasling out of the personal risks by saying "it might work" or "maybe there's a chance" or "its hopeless". I said she would have to become one of the very few individuals who actually thinks for herself. She could be better than ever in at most five years, but without a fundamental philisophical shift that life would continue in progressive misery.

Would you spend five years standing alone, ignoring the well meaning advice of your family and the mandates of highly trained doctors in order to keep your own counsel? It wasn't easy for her, but she began to listen to this message and to take responsibility for herself despite many depressing setbacks where it appeared from the blood work that she was getting worse. This is often normal... when your body gets energy (oxygen and nutrients) to fight disease, it takes your body's clean up systems a while to catch up with all the work your body is doing with its new found energy in areas that aren't directly related to the major disease - eventually the body settles in to attack the major disease from a stronger foundation which it was busy shoring up initially.

During these depressing set backs she often attacked me as "undermining" her by tricking her into ignoring the doctors (who had basically given up on her anyway). She called me crazy and questioned how I dared to have my own opinion against "everyone?" Who did I think I was to presume to build up her hopes when I wasn't a doctor? How dare I, totally untrained with no credentials, a college drop-out, tell her that she could live normally again when she should be concentrating on trying to "adjust" to a new lifestyle? What made me think I could stand alone, with zero corraboration, and tell her these things when everyone else, all with government liscenses and hundreds of reasonable patients, were telling her to just try to make herself more comfortable? It took her many weeks of coming to grips with the fear based socialization and the authority worship we are all inculcated with from birth but finally, she decided, that she would do whatever it took to get healthy while accepting total responsibility that if it didn't work the failure was hers alone. For the first time in her life she discovered true individuality and the deep strength of personal integrity.

She had learned what holocaust victim Victor Frankl learned from watching who survived, including himself, versus who died in Nazi Germany. In the book he wrote afterwards, Man's Search For Meaning, Frankl describes the philosophy which kept him - through unspeakable torture - thinking positive and therefore looking for escape and life while others simply gave up and died. He says, "Everything can be taken from a man but the last of the human freedoms, the right to choose one's own attitude in any given set of circumstances, the right to choose one's own way." My friend decided to choose her own way and embarked on a 2-year odyssey of various treatments mostly revolving around hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and other oxygen therapies, and immune boosting intravenous vitamin treatments and a few other things to support those therapies. She began to get better, and she also got a new understanding of her self as a self-reliant individual (what Ayn Rand called an egoist).

I never directly participated in providing treatments or even "dispensing advice" other than stating, when she asked, what I would do if it was me dealing with her consequences. I didn't pretend I could be the "expert" for her where others had given up hope. I simply faced the facts and told her these as I saw them: she had a viral infection (actually many) and all virus are incapable of living in a high oxygen environment. Flood your body with oxygen and you reverse the low oxygen state in your body which allowed the viruses to take hold in the first place. If you keep it up long enough you can undo decades of neglect and harm to your body as well as ward off severe present attacks. I consistently asserted the biochemical message that if she gave herself the chance to overcome decades of neglect by consistently following through for at least a year that she would be better than ever - a new person. I told her this on many days of visits to her apartment when she could barely move without tremendous pain from her liver, when she couldn't keep down food, and her blood work came back with skyrocketing counts saying that the infection was getting worse not better. She persevered through much ego searching and physical endurance improved steadily, with many major set backs from a short term perspective, until she was finally back at work and starting a new business.

She emailed me two weeks ago to tell me that she had a final biopsy and blood test that had come up completely negative -- totally virus free. This was not mind over matter. It had nothing to do with "finding your inner healing power" or any other such mysticisms. It was plain and simple biology. Flooding your body with oxygen and the right kinds of vitamins and nutrients. Isn't it obvious that this is how your body functions? It is to me. Your body uses oxygen and nutrients to live while a deficiency of these causes gradual reduction in its health (kind of like fabian socialism where altruism gradual destroys all liberty in a society) and total deficiency of these causes death. It is obvious and hence gets very little attention from the "experts." What's the point in being an expert if it's obvious? Doesn't something obvious automatically obviate the need for experts at all? Wouldn't that mean a corresponding reduction in funding for the FDA? We can't have that. Who will defend the poor and make sure charlaton's aren't selling them snake-oxygen? It's ego and fear that make biological diseases incurable.

Would you rather be Nuked or Anthraxed?
The above anecdote merely provides a lesson about the effectiveness of one antidote to biological agents such as bacteria and viruses. Hydrogen peroxide will work on small pox, black death, anthrax, etc. as well as it does on Hepatitis C (which in the story above had a decade to take hold). Such bio-agents are the mass produced products of the far more virulent epidemic that is proving harder to root out: the mass employment in the political shops of governments worldwide by otherwise intelligent individuals who could make a living producing economically valuable stuff if there wasn't such a big demand and a large store of tribute and mafia protection money (taxes) for producing things with only political value. Oxygen is a potent and very prevalent antidote to bacteria and viruses - both physical threats. The other weapons of mass destruction such as nukes, are less treatable and the antidote is no antidote - not to produce or use them in the first place. Prevention is a much tougher because the antidotes to the virulent philosophies which spawn these threats are much more subtle than keeping a $10 bottle of 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide in your fridge.

Despite the current media blitz on bio-agents by Preston and others during this run up to the next gulf war, bioweapons are much less dangerous to the prepared individual than chemical or nuclear weapons. Bioweapons, once released, do have cures - it is true believing ignorance that makes bioweapons such a tremendous threat - which they are! Because ignorance is pandemic! The prepared individual may very well survive the initial bio-attack only to get killed in the ensuing panic of the masses. Chemical and nuclear weapons have no cure once they are released - they annihilate every living thing in their immediate zone totally indiscriminately. I am not nearly as afraid of bioweapons as I am of nuclear or chemical attacks. I know that I have a very real chance of individually surviving even a direct bio-attack using a simple substance and the knowledge of how my body works biochemically. Probably I'll come out after the attack actually better off, more healthy, than before the attack. Obviously there is little chance I'd survive a nuclear attack at all and not much hope of surviving a direct chemical attack - with zero chance of being in better health.

Oxygen is all over Earth, the blue planet. But by far the easiest way to administer high doses of activated oxygen to large numbers of people in the event of an attack, as well as to yourself if the "emergency authorities" are unaware of the method or are unwilling or unable to give it you, is to mix 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide into pure water - distilled is best but any water that doesn't have a high iron content is fine - and drink it on an empty stomach. Hydrogen peroxide is produced in mass quantities by large and some small chemical manufacturers all over the world. It is used in many industrial processes and on the consumer level is used in sizable quantities for treating swimming pools.

To be used for healing purposes in the human body it must be heavily diluted and without additives--- thus making it an extremely viable antidote to bio-weapon attack even in a big city like NY. The easiest and still highly effective delivery method is a small quantity (counted in drops) of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water taken on an empty stomach. It can also be injected intravenously as well inhaled (in the form of ozone, not hydrogen peroxide) or even rubbed directly into the skin by mixing it in an aqueous gel such as aloe vera gel. It could be dropped into neighborhoods in 55 gallon drums from helicopters with a single sheet of paper giving instructions on how to take it. Enough hydrogen peroxide to sustain all of NYC could be flown in on jets and helicopters in a matter of hours and enough to sustain the entire United States or all of Europe could be manufactured overnight and distributed in a matter of days.

The current government sponsored "emergency planning" by that wonderful agency of truth, justice, and the American way, FEMA, is to distribute Antibiotics . Antibiotics are only marginally effective against viruses that are specifically engineered by your neighborhood military bioengineer to be Antibiotic resistent. Preston goes into the woeful inadequacy of this approach in his article sited below for those who doubt they'll have the political connections to get a "ration." The more cynical may simply assume that FEMA is more likely to be wasting its time trying to figure out how to get away with using "controlled" bio-agents on recalcitrants who won't give up their guns in the big "emergency' to come when they start going door to door with the collection truck in the name of peace, harmony, and the Brady bunch.

I don't have any books to sell so or votes to buy or a plan for total control of society so I don't care about generating a big fear campaign about how nothing can be done and we are all at the mercy of terrorists. Let me put it this way -- any virus attack that can be treated with Antibiotics can be better treated with oxygen therapies and almost without cost by hydrogen peroxide which costs only pennies per gallon to produce. Don't wait for FEMA's grand plan, national bio-attack insurance, or the passage of the Universal Right to Antibiotics Act. Anyone who begins treating themselves with high doses of H202, immediately and repeatedly, upon learning of a bio-attack would stand a good chance of surviving and coming out stronger. Many people who received late treatment would probably still survive. Couple the flooding of your body with oxygen via H202 and the shielding of a gas mask and you will come out OK in a bio-attack barring any fatal mistakes. No survivalist's underground bunker in the backyard is complete without an AK-47, ammo, gas mask, dried food, bottled water, and a couple of $10 bottles of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. I live in Costa Rica, far from ground zero, which doesn't even have a military to piss off the terrorists - so I just keep mine in the refrigerator.

Doc Holliday is not a government licensed physician. He has only one patient - himself. He is not an activist or a scientist or even a real journalist. He cannot be reached for comment on this story because he is involved only in living life to maximum positive effect not in organizing political movements or educating the public. If you are interested in oxygen therapies there are plenty of serious researchers, scientist, and journalists who are documenting the use of oxygen. Do a search on oxygen therapy, ozone, hyperberic chambers, and hydrogen peroxide. You'll get all the information you need to look into the subject.
