Anthrax:

Its Homeopathic and
Conventional Management
- from Chapter 11

There are about a dozen and a half already or potentially weaponized biological agents that can be used against civilians or in military combat. They include bacteria, viruses, tick-borne agents, or various isolated microbial toxins.

In this and the next chapter, however, we will examine in greater detail only the two major and most likely agents for biological assaults - anthrax and smallpox.

Homeopathic methods and experience presented in these chapters can be extrapolated and applied with certain modifications in the management of other biological entities. Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium, Bacillus anthracis.

Anthrax occurs most commonly in wild and domestic animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes, and other herbivores), but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or their tissue.

Anthrax is most common in agricultural regions, especially in South and Central America, southern and eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. When anthrax affects humans, it is usually caused by an occupational exposure to infected animals or their products.

Workers who are exposed to dead animals and animal products from other countries where anthrax is more common may become infected with Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax in wild animals has occurred in the United States.
