Congressional Testimony Congressional Hearing: Comprehensive Medical Care for Bioterrorism Exposure

By: H. Reg McDaniel, M.D.

On November 14, 2001, H. Reg McDaniel, M.D. was invited as an expert witness to appear before the United States House of Representatives, Committee on Government Reform. The investigation was entitled: Comprehensive Medical Care for Bioterrorism Exposure: Are we Making Evidence Based Decisions? What are the Research Needs?

This packet contains:

A brief introductory statement with exhibits that condense the submitted testimony and scientific data provided into a compact summary.

An expanded scientific data narrative with examples of experiments showing that glyconutrients boost the level of innate body defenses by enhancing the synthesis of cytokines that are designed to protect the body from all infectious agent.

A question and answer section with exhibits that emphasize the general health promoting capacity of micronutrients with an emphasis on the biochemistry of glyconutrients.

A basic science research proposal that is projected to demonstrate that glyconutrients will prevent and reverse damage from anthrax and small pox infections, as this group of micronutrients have in other experiments with virulent bacteria and viral agents. It is hypothesized that infectious agents designed for bioterrorism have been selected and developed to thwart mechanisms of the actions of pharmaceuticals, i.e. antibiotics. The micronutrient activated and enhanced innate defense and ameliorative mechanisms are totally different from the action of antibiotics. Thus, it may be feasible to neutralize decades and many millions of dollars spent on military research to make agents of bioterrorism. This may be achieved by using the micronutrient technology alone or in combination with antibiotics that have limited effectiveness, as evidenced by the recent deaths of individuals infected through the US Mail System.
