Hypothetical Integrative Medical Strategies for the Prevention and Treatment of Bio-terrorism Incidents

Abstract

The authors present proposed hypothetical protocols addressing both the prevention and treatment of acute anthrax and smallpox, as may occur in relation to bio-terrorism events or incidents. The potential bene t of additional or 'integrative' modalities with conventional allopathic approaches is discussed, with speci c emphasis on applied medical nutrition and homeopathy. An in-depth discussion of the pathophysiology of inhalation anthrax and a unique approach to intervention based on seminal research by Hanna et al. is presented; the treatment protocol includes aggressive parenteral administration of N-acetyl cysteine and other nutriceutical antioxidants, as well as inhalation therapy with L-glutathione.
