According to a spokesman for the National Center for Disease Control, a diet high in antioxidants may bolster the body's own defenses against germ warfare. Right after the horrific events of 9/11 Americans were confronted with yet another threat to their lives - the distribution of anthrax spores through the mail. As I watched reports of these events unfolding on television, I became interested in an interview that was being conducted with a physician from the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC). He offered some very important advice as to how we can protect ourselves from such attacks. He claimed that a diet high in antioxidants can bolster the body's own defense against biological weapons.
Naturally, as a supplier of powerful antioxidants formulas, this statement caught my attention. Unfortunately, however, I was not prepared for the moment and I did not write down or remember the physician's name. Looking for an article on this subject, I thoroughly researched the NCDC website but could not find a single one. I did find some interesting statistics on survival rates of those who are affected by different biological diseases. The question is why do some people survive these attacks when others die? Could it be true that a more powerful immune system will help against such attacks while those who are immune compromised have little or no chance for survival? This is what the good doctor seemed to be saying in his television interview. It is also something that makes good common sense.
In 1918 to 1919 an influenza pandemic caused widespread societal isruption and placed enormous burdens on both the healthcare system and the civil infrastructure. Yet even though there were thousands of deaths it is important to note that case-fatality rates only ranged from 1.9% to 5%. This means that 95 to 98% of all infected actually survived the infection. Obviously those with impaired immune systems could not survive as those with better equipped immune systems did. The West Nile Virus - a disease which is transmitted by mosquitoes - parallels the fatality rates of influenza. Hundreds of people were recently infected with this virus, but only the elderly and others with impaired immune systems did not survive.
Unfortunately, being infected by smallpox or anthrax would require a much more powerful immune system in order to survive. The case-fatality rate for smallpox would approximate 30% while untreated anthrax would exceed 80%. To survive an attack of one of these substances it is obvious that one's immune system should be greater than the norm. In addition to taking antioxidants, it is my belief that one should take immune enhancing supplements and detoxifiers as well to fully augment antioxidant therapy. Keep in mind that these supplements should not be used to replace standard treatments such as vaccines or antibiotics. The problem with standard treatment, however, is that symptoms of these infections do not arise until after an incubation period. Standard treatments can arrive too late. Therefore, in these dangerous times it is better to have the immune system fully prepared for any and all situations.
Biological weapons can be delivered surreptitiously into food, water, by aerosol or it can be transmitted by insects. One can be infected without knowing it. Such was the case with the anthrax fatalities right after 9/11. Once the symptoms appeared it was too late in some cases. A greater immune system will not only help one survive such an attack, but the incubation period of the disease could also be delayed thereby giving one a longer time to receive a vaccine, antibiotic or other standard treatment. Symptoms and degree of infection may also be diminished which may help standard treatment to be more effective in cases where it is administered after the appearance of symptoms.
