Common cold, Influenza,
Bronchitis & Pneumonia.
All of these conditions are infections of the upper
respiratory tract caused by viruses which are impervious to synthetic antibiotics. The
patient's immune system plays a large role in determining whether the body will fight off
such infections.
Both the common cold and the "flu" are highly
contagious because they can be spread easily by coughing and sneezing. Although both a
cold or flu is rarely fatal by themselves, they do make the patient more susceptible to
bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus trouble.
The growing population of individuals with chronic lung
diseases primarily due to smoking and immunosuppressive drugs has contributed to further
increases of chronic bronchitis and serious pneumonias, which have very high mortality
rates.53
It is most important therefore to boost the immune
system to prevent the cold or flu from developing into something more significant. It will
also reduce the severity and duration of the symptoms.
Exposure to a disease-causing microorganism does not
always cause infections in the body and result in symptoms. The immune system plays a
major role in determining whether the body will fight off infection.
Upon the very first sign of cold or flu symptoms
(watery nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, watery red eyes, general malaise) - or if
individuals in close contact exhibit such signs - the patient should begin the recommended
daily dosage of Factor Twelve: Opti-cillin and continue for the full ten day period until
the entire vial has been depleted. This will assist the immune system in destroying such
viruses and clear the infection before the on-set of disease.
Studies have linked malnutrition to viruses. Scientists
have recently found the first direct evidence that viruses can mutate and become deadly
because of nutritional deficiencies in the hosts they infect.54 If the
nutritional status of the infected person proves to affect other disease-causing viruses
it may turn out to be a factor in the evolution of more deadly forms of influenza,
hepatitis and meningitis.55
It is recommended that Factor One: Bio-Immunizer be incorporated into the patient's nutrition program during viral exposure. Patients with a
compromised or depressed immune system subject to chronic colds and upper respiratory
infections should consider taking Factor One: Bio-Immunizer as a preventative on a
consistent basis.
If the patient is experiencing an advanced stage of a
cold or flu attack, Factor Nine: Liverzyne may be incorporated into the natural antibiotic
regime noting precautions.
Bladder and Urinary Tract
Infection
Bladder and urinary infections are usually caused by E. coli bacteria
resulting in cystitis, an inflammation of the bladder.
Twenty-one percent of women have urinary infections at
least once a year which may be uncomfortable or extremely painful and thirty-seven percent
of women with no history of urinary infection will have one within 10 years.56
Symptoms are characterized by an urgent desire to empty
the bladder. Urination is typically frequent and painful, such as a burning sensation and
the urine may appear cloudy.
Recent clinical data suggests that ampicillin, trimethoprim, and
trimetho-sulfamethoxazole, now used as first line treatment of acute
cystitis, may not be acceptable choices for therapy much longer.57
It is imperative that patients experiencing the first
signs of a urinary tract infection begin dosing with Factor Twelve: Opti-cillin and
immediately incorporate Factor Eleven: CranPlex into their daily supplement regime.
Ear Infections, There are three
types of earache:
1) External otitis (swimmer's ear) is an infection of
the external ear canal with itching, discharge or burning pain;
2) Acute otitis media (also known as bacterial otitis
media) is an infection of the middle ear and usually preceded by an upper respiratory
infection or allergy; and
3) Chronic otitis media (also known as serious otitis
media) refers to a constant swelling of the middle ear.
A number of studies have confirmed that there are no
significant differences in the clinical course of acute otitis media when conventional
treatments are compared with placebos except that children not receiving antibiotics had
fewer recurrences than those who did receive antibiotics.58
In fact, subsequent studies revealed that children with
chronic otitis media who took amoxicillin experienced 2 to 6 times more recurrent ear
infections as compared to those on placebo.59
Upon the first signs of ear infection, the patient
should begin the recommended daily dosage of Factor Twelve: Opti-cillin and continue for
the full ten day cycle until the entire vial has been depleted.
For prevention of reoccurring ear infections, the vast
majority of patients with recurrent ear infections improved after removing food allergens
from their diets.60
Fungal Skin Infections
Candida albicans is the most common form of yeast-like
fungus. When it infects the oral cavity, it is called thrush. When it infects the vagina,
it results in vaginitis. Athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch also develop as a result
of a fungal infection. Moist red patches anywhere on the body often indicate an infection
by fungal or, in some cases, staph bacteria.
A depressed immune function is a leading cause of most
fungal infections. At the on-set of a fungal infection begin dosing with Factor Twelve:
Opti-cillin for the full 10 day cycle and consider using Factor One: Bio-Immunizer as a
preventative. (Women should consider Factor Ten: Femtrac)
Food Poisoning and 'Traveler's
Diarrhea'
Food poisoning occurs when a person consumes food
containing harmful bacteria. Each year more than two million Americans report illnesses
that have been traced to foods that were eaten. And this is just the tip of the
iceberg!
Up to 275 million of the cases of diarrhea reported annually are directly related to foods
eaten.61
Cryptosporidium bacterium in the Milwaukee water supply
sickened an estimated 403,000 and sent about 4,400 to the hospital.62 Another
microbe, known as cyclospora, is suspected to have made more than 1,000 people sick in 11
states.63 Not a week goes by that the media does not report an outbreak of food
poisoning somewhere in the United States, usually caused by salmonella, Staphylococcus
aureus, or E. coli bacterium. In fact, each year hundreds of thou-sands of Americans get
sick with salmonella poisoning caused by a strain that is resistant to five antibiotics!64
Symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting,
and cramps. If the patient suspects food poisoning, he should begin the recommended dosage
of Factor Twelve: Opti-cillin and continue for the full cycle until the vial is depleted.
For those planning to travel to a foreign country or an
area of poor water quality or sanitation, the prophylactic use of Factor Twelve:
Opti-cillin 5 days prior to, during, and 5 days following visiting, may be useful.
Herpes simplex HSV-1 and HSV-2
Herpes simplex is a recurrent viral infection of the
skin or mucous membranes. After entering the body, the virus never leaves. it can only be
kept under control so it will not break out in painful fluid-filled blisters that form
around the mouth and/or genitals. Cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1
(HSV-1) while genital herpes are caused by the type 2 virus (HSV-2).
After initial infection - via direct contact with
contaminated saliva, skin discharge, or sexual fluids - the sores appear two to seven days
after exposure.
Recurrent eruptions are common and usually follow minor
infections, trauma, emotional stress, or poor dietary habits.65
Current estimates indicate that 20 to 40 percent of the
U.S. population have recurrent herpes infections.66
Not everyone exposed to HSV develops the disease.
Persistent infections are seen in immunosuppressed individuals. The cell-mediated immune
system is perhaps the major factor in determining the outcome of herpes exposure.
Immediately upon the onset of cold sores and/or genital
blisters, the patient should begin Factor Twelve: Opti-cillin in the recommended dosage
until vial has been depleted.
