TREATMENT FOR DYSENTERY
The bacillus subtilis was discovered by the Nazi German medical corps in
1941, toward the end of their African campaign. At the time, the German
military victory was at its height. But the German high command became
genuinely alarmed when hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers in North Africa
suddenly began dying every week. Oddly, the Nazi soldiers weren't dying
because of British General Montgomery's retaliatory bombs and shrapnel, but
instead, they were dying of uncontrollable dysentery.
Of course, the Germans were aware that dysentery was caused by pathogenic (i
.e. disease-causing) bacteria from local food and water sources. But in
those days, there were no antibiotics. Sulfur was already on the market, but
only in a topical non-ingestible form. So with no medication available with
which to stop the plague of dysentery, the Nazis quickly began looking for
other means to help their dying soldiers.
The German high command immediately sent out a contingent of scientists,
physicians, chemists, biochemists, bacteriologists and other experts to help
solve the problem. With typical German circumspection, these top experts
reasoned that there must be a natural way to counteract the deadly bacteria
causing the dysentery because, if there wasn't, the millions of Arabs living
in the region would have been dead long ago.
Therefore, the Germans' first step was to closely scrutinize the native
Arabs, and see whether or not they were affected by dysentery. What they
discovered was that the Arabs also caught dysentery, but at the first sign
of diarrhea [the #1 symptom of dysentery --- Ed.] the Arabs would do
something quite incredible: They would immediately begin following around a
horse or camel until it would drop its dung. Then, the affected Arab would
pick up the warm dung droppings, and quickly gulp them down! This strange
procedure effectively eliminated the dysentery almost overnight.
Once the good hygienic Germans finally recovered from the shock of seeing
the Arab natives gulping down warm camel dung, they quickly realized that
there must be something in the dung that somehow counteracted the harmful
bacteria that caused the dysentery. They questioned the Arabs, who told them
that they had no idea why it worked, but that their fathers had always done
so, as had their forefathers, and it had always worked. The only caveat was
that the camel or horse dung had to be ingested while still warm and fresh,
because it had no effect on the dysentery if ingested cold.
So the Nazis began carefully examining fresh camel and horse dung. What they
discovered was that it was teeming with a powerful bacterial microorganism
which later came to be called Bacillus subtilis. This bacteria, it turned
out, is so strong that it practically cannibalizes all harmful
microorganisms in the human body --- particularly pathogenic bacteria like
the virulent strain which was causing dysentery in the German troops.
Within a very short time, the Nazis began producing hundreds and thousands
of gallons of active Bacillus subtilis cultures for their troops to ingest.
And bingo, no more dysentery! Soon afterwards, the Germans even discovered
the process by which the Bacillus subtilis cultures could be dried and
placed into easily ingestible capsules. From that time forward, the
resourceful Germans had no more problems with losing troops from dysentery.
Still Benefiting Health-Savvy Individuals
For many years afterwards, cultures of Bacillus subtilis were sold worldwide
as a medicinal product (sold in the U.S. and Mexico, for example, under the
brand name Bacti-Subtil) rapidly becoming the world's leading treatment for
dysentery and other intestinal problems. Unfortunately for Americans, this
popular bacterial supplement that cures intestinal infections began losing
favor in the late 1950's and 1960's, upon the advent of synthetic
antibiotics which were heavily touted by the giant pharmaceutical companies
as "wonder drugs," even though they cost five times as much as Bacti-Subtil,
and took three times longer to accomplish the same results.
Nonetheless, Bacillus subtilis remains one of the most potent and beneficial
of all health-promoting and immune-stimulating bacteria. According to
clinical studies documented in the medical research report,
IMMUNOSTIMULATION BY BACILLUS SUBTILIS PREPARATIONS, by micro-biologist J.
Harmann, the cell wall components of ingested Bacillus Subtilis are able to
activate nearly all systems of the human immune defense,
