Corynebacteria species are commonly found in nature's soil, water, plants, and food products. With exception to diphtheria, they can even be found in the mucosa and normal skin flora of humans and animals. Some species are known for their pathogenic effects in humans and other animals. Perhaps the most notable one is C. diphtheriae, which produces diphtheria toxin. There are a few other species that can cause disease, but they typically affect only those with immunocompromised systems.

The most notable human infection is diphtheria, caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It is an acute and contagious infection characterized by pseudomembranes of dead epithelial cells, white blood cells, red blood cells, and fibrin that form around the tonsils and back of the throat. It is an uncommon illness that tends to occur in school-aged children, the elderly, immunocompromised people, and those with prosthetic devices such as heart valves, shunts, or catheters. It can occasionally infect wounds, the vulva, the conjunctiva, and the middle ear. It can also be spread within a hospital.

Several species cause disease in animals, most commonlyC. pseudotuberculosis which causes caseous lymphadenitis. Some are also pathogenic in humans. Some attack healthy hosts, while others tend to attack the immunocompromised. The effects of infection include: granulomatous lymphadenopathy, pneumonitis, pharyngitis, skin infections, and endocarditis. Corynebacterial endocarditis is seen most frequently in patients with intravascular devices. C. tenuis is believed to cause trichomycosis palmellina and trichomycosis axillaris. C. striatum may cause axillary odor and C. minutissimum causes erythrasma (brown, scaly skin patches).

Non-pathogenic species of Corynebacterium are used for very important industrial applications. These include: the production of amino acids, nucleotides, and other nutritional factors; bioconversion of steroids; cheese aging; and production of enzymes. Some species produce metabolites similar to antibiotics, anti-tumor agents, etc. One of the most studied species is C. glutamicum, whose name refers to its ability to produce glutamic acid in aerobic conditions. It is used in the food industry as monosodium glutamate (MSG) in the production of soy sauce and yogurt.

Species of Corynebacterium have been used in the mass production of various amino acids including glutamic acid which is a popular food additive made at a rate of 1.5 million tons per year. The metabolic pathways of Corynebacterium have also been altered to produce lysine and threonine. So it is possible that you have one strain or another of this bacterial genus from the foods and supplements you take!

This Quantum Formula antidotes the various species in the Corynebacterium genus.

The natural habitat for Clostridium species are soil, water and the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. The Clostridium genus includes common free-living bacteria as well as important pathogens. Some of the main species and how you might be exposed to them include:

• C. botulinum, an organism that produces botulinum toxin in food can cause botulism. Honey sometimes contains spores of Clostridium botulinum. The toxin eventually paralyzes the infant's breathing muscles. This same toxin is known as "Botox" and is used cosmetically to paralyze facial muscles to reduce the signs of aging. It also has numerous therapeutic uses.
• C. difficile can flourish when other bacteria in the stomach are killed during antibiotic therapy, leading to pseudomembranous colitis (a cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea).
• C. perfringens cause a wide range of symptoms, from food poisoning to gas gangrene. It is responsible for enterotoxemia (also known as "overeating disease" or "pulpy kidney disease" even though it has nothing to do with overeating) in sheep and goats. C. perfringens also takes the place of yeast in the making of salt rising bread.
• C. tetani is the organism responsible for tetanus and lock jaw. The name is derived from "of a tension", referring to the tension (caused by tetanus) in the muscles.
• C. sordellii has been linked to the deaths of more than a dozen women after medical abortions.
• C. thermocellum can utilize lignocellulosic waste and generate ethanol, making it a possible candidate for use in the production of ethanol fuel.
• C. acetobutylicum is used to produce acetone and biobutanol for the production of gunpowder and TNT.

The toxic part of Clostridium is not the bacteria itself, but the toxins these bacteria produce. Seven types of neurotoxins have been identified in botulinum alone. Most of these toxins have been included in this remedy, so the need for this remedy may not always be for the bacteria itself, but for the toxins these bacteria produce. Many of these toxins are from commercial and industrial uses, so you may be exposed at a work place or from toxins released in the environment.

This Quantum Formula antidotes the various species in the Clostridium genus as well as botulism toxin A-G, beta toxin, epsilon toxin, perfringens type C and D and other neurotoxins, lignocellulosic waste, ethanol, endoglucanase, etc.

This genus of bacteria contains just a few species which were originally thought to be part of the Chlamydia genus because their genetic coding is almost 95% similar. Each one is listed below, they are all able to cause diseases in humans.

• Chlamydophila pneumoniae is typically acquired by otherwise healthy people and is a form of community-acquired pneumonia. This atypical bacterium commonly causes pharyngitis, bronchitis and atypical pneumonia primarily in elderly and debilitated patients, but can infect healthy adults also. In addition to pneumonia, C. pneumoniae causes several other illnesses. These include: meningoencephalitis (infection and inflammation of the brain and meninges), arthritis, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart), and Guillain-Barré syndrome. C. pneumoniae infection increases adherence of macrophages to endothelial cells, commonly causing atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (arterial plaque). C. pneumoniae also infects and causes disease in Koalas, emerald tree boa, iguanas, chameleons, frogs, and turtles.
• Chlamydophila pecorum is a species that has been found to infect cattle, sheep and goats (ruminants), koalas (marsupials), and swine. In the koala, C. pecorum causes reproductive disease, infertility, and urinary tract disease. In other animals, C. pecorum has been associated with abortion, conjunctivitis, encephalomyelitis, enteritis, pneumonia, and polyarthritis. Minimal research has been done with humans, but it is known to infect humans also.
• Chlamydophila felis is a bacterium endemic among house cats worldwide, primarily causing inflammation of feline conjunctiva, rhinitis and respiratory problems. C. felis is often found in the stomach and reproductive tract. Human infections have also been reported. Various strains of this species are used as live vaccines for cats, which makes the cat contagious and it is possible for the owner to catch it.
• Chlamydophila psittaci is a lethal intracellular bacterial species that can cause endemic avian chlamydiosis and respiratory psittacosis in humans. Chlamydophila psittaci is transmitted by inhalation, contact or ingestion among birds and to mammals. Psittacosis in birds and in humans often starts with flu-like symptoms and becomes a life-threatening pneumonia, with additional symptoms that mimic typhoid fever. Many strains remain dormant in birds until activated under stress. Birds are excellent, highly mobile vectors for the distribution of chlamydial infection because they feed on, and have access to infected animals of all sorts. C. psittaci strains in birds infect mucosal epithelial cells and macrophages of the respiratory tract. Septicaemia eventually develops and the bacteria become localized in epithelial cells and macrophages of most organs, conjunctiva, and gastrointestinal tract. It can also be passed to the eggs. Any contact with birds can expose a person to this disease.
• Chlamydophila abortus is a species in Chlamydiae that causes abortion and fetal death in mammals, including humans. C. abortus is endemic among ruminants and has been associated with abortion in horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, pigs and humans. Infected females shed bacteria near the time of ovulation, so C. abortus is transmitted orally and sexually among mammals. C. abortus infection typically remains dormant until an animal aborts late in gestation or gives birth to a weak or dead fetus.
• Chlamydophila caviae is known to cause conjunctivitis, ocular inflammation and eye discharge. It is also possible to infect the genital tract of Guinea pigs with C. caviae and elicit a disease that is similar to human Chlamydia trachomatis infection. C. caviae infects primarily the mucosal epithelium and is not invasive. Research so far indicates it does not infect humans, but we put the antidote in our remedy anyway.

The natural habitat for Chlamydia is disputable. Some say it is the intestinal tract and others say it is the genitor-urinary tract. Either way, it is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI) worldwide. It is estimated that about 1 million individuals in the United States are infected with chlamydia. It is quite common for a person to have chlamydia and exhibit no symptoms at all. In fact, 75% of cases in women and 25% of cases in men exhibit no symptoms.

The three Chlamydia species include: Chlamydia trachomatis (a human pathogen), Chlamydia suis (affects swine), and Chlamydia muridarum (affects mice and hamsters).

Chlamydia can be transmitted via vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and can be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.

C. trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen (i.e. the bacterium lives within human cells) and can cause numerous diseases in both men and women. Both sexes can experience urethritis, proctitis (rectal disease and bleeding), trachoma, and infertility.

The bacterium can cause genital discharge, prostatitis and epididymitis in men.

The bacterium can cause cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, and acute or chronic pelvic pain in women.

C. trachomatis is also an important neonatal pathogen, it can lead to infections of the eye (trachoma) and pulmonary complications. Chlamydia trachomatis is the single most important infectious agent associated with blindness. Approximately 600 million people worldwide suffer with C. trachomatis eye infections and 20 million are blinded as a result of the infection.

The natural habitat for Campylobacter is the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, birds and reptiles. It causes an infection known as Campylobacteriosis. Campylobacter is now recognized as one of the main causes of bacterial foodborne disease in many developed countries. At least a dozen species of Campylobacter have been implicated in human disease, with C. jejuni and C. coli the most common. C. fetus is a cause of spontaneous abortions in cattle and sheep, as well as an opportunistic pathogen in humans.

The common types of transmission are fecal-oral, ingestion of contaminated food or water, and the eating of raw meat. It produces an inflammatory, sometimes bloody, diarrhea, periodontitis or dysentery syndrome, mostly including cramps, fever and pain. The infection is usually self-limiting and symptoms typically last for five to seven days.

The sites of tissue injury include the jejunum, the ileum, and the colon. Most strains of C jejuni produce a toxin that hinders the cells from dividing and activating the immune system. This helps the bacteria to evade the immune system and survive for a limited time in the cells. The organism produces diffuse, bloody, edematous, and exudative enteritis (inflammation of small intestine). In a small number of cases, the infection may be associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (extreme kidney stress) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (blood clots) through a poorly understood mechanism. Gastrointestinal perforation from extreme, prolonged diarrhea is a rare complication of ileal infection, but if extreme internal pain is experienced, seek emergency medical attention as this bacteria can lead to Guillain-Barre Syndrome and paralysis.

The illness is CONTAGIOUS, and children must be kept at home until they have been clear of symptoms for at least two days. Good hygiene is important to avoid contracting the illness or spreading it to others.

Soil and water are considered the main habitats for Brucella. Many mammals can be infected or carry Brucella. B. melitensis infects goats and sheep, B. abortus infects cattle, B. suis infects pigs (culture of suis in photo), B. ovis infects sheep. Recently new species were discovered. In marine mammals (B. pinnipedialis and B. ceti ), in the common vole Microtus arvalis (B. microti ), and even in a breast implant (B. inopinata ). One unnamed strain has been isolated from a baboon. It is found in North American elk, bison and caribou, so this bacteria remains equal opportunity between mammals.

Brucella is the cause of brucellosis. It is transmitted by ingesting infected food, direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols. Transmission from human to human, for example through sexual intercourse or from mother to child is rare, but possible. The disease is characterized by acute undulating fever, headache, night sweats, fatigue and anorexia. Common symptoms in certain animals include spontaneous abortions, retention of after-birth, arthritic joints, infected genitals, lymphatic system and intervertebral discs.

Human brucellosis is not considered a contagious disease. People become infected by contact with fluids from infected animals (sheep, cattle or pigs) or derived food products like unpasteurized milk and cheese. Brucellosis is often considered an occupational disease because of a higher incidence in people working with animals (slaughterhouse cases). The real worldwide incidence of brucellosis is unknown because there is a low level of surveillance and reporting in Brucella endemic areas. Contact with body fluids and aborted fetus' is one of the most common ways of becoming infected.

Brucella became the first known agent weaponized by the United States. The biological weapons program was said to have been discontinued in 1972 because mortality rate of the M33 cluster bombs tested were not high enough. It was then considered an incapacitating agent.

Keeping the body alkaline is very important at preventing this group of bacteria from growing. Orally ingest aluminum free baking soda, ½ teaspoon in a few ounces of cold water every couple of hours.

This Quantum Formula antidotes the various species in the Brucella genus, as well as apoptosis, O-polysaccharides, TNF-alpha mechanism, virBoperon, DnaK chaperones, nikA transport, ureolysis, ammonia, erythritol.

Borrelia species cause borreliosis, a zoonotic, vector-borne disease transmitted primarily by ticks and some by lice, depending on the species. Of the 36 known species of Borrelia, 12 of these species are known to cause Lyme disease or borreliosis and are transmitted by ticks. Its natural habitat is the tick, louse or other insect and then the victim who gets infected with it.

Borrelia recurrentis causes Relapsing Fever and is transmitted by the human body louse; no other animal reservoir of B. recurrentis is known. Lice that feed on infected humans acquire the Borrelia organisms that then multiply in the stomach of the louse. When an infected louse feeds on an uninfected human, the organism gains access when the person crushes the louse or scratches the area where the louse is feeding. B. recurrentis infects the person via mucous membranes and then invades the bloodstream.

Other tick-borne relapsing infections are acquired from other species, such as Borrelia hermsii or Borrelia parkeri or Borrelia miyamotoi, which can be spread from rodents, and serve as a reservoir for the infection, via a tick vector. Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia recurrentis cause very similar diseases. However, the disease associated with Borrelia hermsii has more relapses and is responsible for more fatalities, while the disease caused by B. recurrentis has longer febrile and afebrile intervals and a longer incubation period.

The most common Borrelia species are those that cause Lyme disease, now considered a modern epidemic, officially said to be a "biosafety level 2" disease. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks belonging to a few species of hard ticks. Early symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic circular skin rash called erythema migrans (see photo). Many cases of Lyme disease are never noticed or experience the erythema migrans, also known as the target rash.

Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart, and central nervous system. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms can be treated, especially if the illness is treated early. Delayed or inadequate treatment can lead to the more serious symptoms, which can be disabling and difficult to treat. Matter of fact, Lyme disease is considered by some experts to be the world's greatest silent pandemic. Silent only because so many people are sick with a form of undiagnosed Lyme disease and pandemic because it literally affects more people on earth than any other disease ever has. Some believe Lyme disease was genetically modified and used as one of the very first population control mechanisms in the 1960's and 1970's. See Lyme Disease in the Symptom/Disease section for more information.

The natural habitat for Bordatella is the epithelial cells of the respiratory system. The most thoroughly researched of the Bordetella species are B. bronchiseptica, B. pertussis and B. parapertussis. Of the Bordatella genus, these are the species that cause respiratory diseases, primarily pertussis, often called whooping cough. Considered CONTAGIOUS!

Symptoms are initially mild, then develop into severe coughing fits which produce the namesake high-pitched "whoop" sound in infected babies and children when they inhale air after coughing. The coughing stage lasts for approximately six weeks before subsiding. In some countries, this disease is called the 100 days' cough or cough of 100 days. The classic symptoms of pertussis are a paroxysmal cough, inspiratory whoop, and vomiting after coughing. The cough from pertussis has been documented to cause subconjunctival hemorrhages, rib fractures, urinary incontinence, hernias, post-cough fainting, and vertebral artery dissection.

The incubation period is typically seven to ten days in infants or young children, after which there are usually mild respiratory symptoms, mild coughing, sneezing, or runny nose. This is known as the catarrhal stage. After one to two weeks, the coughing typically develops into uncontrollable fits, each with five to ten forceful coughs, followed by a high-pitched "whoop" sound in younger children, or a gasping sound in older children, as the patient struggles to breathe in afterwards (paroxysmal stage). Fits can occur out of nowhere or can be triggered by yawning, stretching, laughing, eating or yelling. They usually occur in groups, with multiple episodes every hour around the clock.

Transmission occurs by direct contact, or via respiratory aerosol droplets, or fomites. Bacteria initially adhere to ciliated epithelial cells in the nasopharynx. The initial catarrhal phase of infection produces symptoms similar to those of the common cold and during this period, large numbers of bacteria can be recovered from the pharynx. Next the bacteria proliferate and spread further into the respiratory tract, where the secretion of toxins causes ciliostasis and facilitates the entry of bacteria to tracheal/bronchial ciliated cells.

B. bronchiseptica causes several diseases in other mammals, including kennel cough and atrophic rhinitis in dogs and pigs. B. bronchiseptica rarely infects healthy humans though disease in immunocompromised patients has been reported. Other members of the genus cause similar diseases in other mammals, and in birds (B. hinzii, B. avium).

Dr. DeHaan does NOT believe the DPT vaccine (or any vaccine) is the best treatment or prevention for possible signs of Bordatella. There is generally an alternative to antibiotics and vaccinations. If symptoms of whooping cough are present, use this remedy along with the Cough remedy (symptom section). Use a spoonful of pure, raw honey as a cough syrup as often as needed. If used in its raw form it is also antibacterial. Another great home remedy to take (get ingredients from your local health food store) is 1 teaspoon of Fenugreek seeds, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger root, with a dash of honey. Bring all of these to a boil and then sip it through the day as your daily herbal tonic. Make a new batch and repeat each day as long as needed.

This Quantum Formula antidotes the various species in the Bordatella genus, as well as pertussis toxin[subunit2,3,4,5], protein adhesions [filamentous haemaglutinin, pertactin, fimbriae, AB5-type exotoxin, ciliostasis], tracheal cytotoxin peptidoglycan, adenylate cyclase toxin, adenosine triphosphate, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, calcium influx, phosphorylating and flagellin gene.

The natural habitat for bacillus is officially considered the soil. It has even been named as "normal flora" of the soil. However, the spores seem to live happily in a variety of sources, and they thrive under some pretty adverse conditions. This remedy is of significance on many levels. Bacillus is the genre of bacteria where the deadly Anthrax is found. While this remedy is designed to antidote anthracis (the cause of anthrax) and all of the species in the Bacillus genre, it is even more effective for one of the following bacterial strains and the toxins produced / harvested from them:

• B. amyloliquefaciensis and the antibiotic protein barnase harvested from it as well as alpha amylase used in starch hydrolysis, the protease subtilisin used with detergents, and the BamH1 restriction enzyme used in DNA research.
• A portion of the B. thuringiensis genome was incorporated into corn (and cotton) crops. The resulting GMOs are therefore resistant to some insect pests. This remedy is often used as a GMO detox.
• B. thuringiensis is an insect pathogen so is sometimes used as a biological pesticide, also used as insecticides and genetically modified crops.
• B. coagulans can be found in food spoilage of highly acidic, tomato based products.
• B. cereus, which causes a foodborne illness (food poisoning) similar to that of Staphylococcus. It is the cause of "Fried Rice Syndrome," as the bacteria is classically contracted from fried rice dishes that have been sitting at room temperature for hours (such as at a buffet). Certain strains are used as probiotics, so a contaminated supplement might have introduced this to your system. Toxicity of this bacteria can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It is also known to cause chronic skin infections.
• The notable anthracis and all of its toxic forms is also included. Three forms of anthrax disease are recognized based on their form of inoculation. Cutaneous, the most common form (95%), causes a localized inflammatory black necrotic lesion (eschar). Pulmonary, highly fatal and characterized by sudden massive chest edema followed by cardiovascular shock. Gastrointestinal, rare but also fatal (causes death to 25%) type results from ingestion of spores

PREVENTION: It has been noted that resistance to the B. anthracis bacteria can be achieved by drinking polyphenols, such as found in black tea. This does not counteract the spores, so it works more as a preventative agent than a treatment option. Tea must be consumed without milk.
