Four Thieves Vinegar:

Antiviral, Germicide and Possible Alternative for

Flu  Shot

>      According to herbalist Kastner, " During the height of the

> plague in France in 1721, it was discovered that the homes of disease

> victims were being ransacked. At first, no effort was made to find the

> criminals, since all knew they were fools, soon to die of the plague.

>

>       As time went on, it became apparent that the thieves were continuing

> in their raids... and quite inexplicably, avoiding falling victim to the

> disease. Soon, they became highly sought -- not due to their crimes, but

> in an effort to learn their secret.

>

>       " When they were finally captured, they refused to speak, until a

> bargain was offered: remain silent and hang. Divulge the secret to their

> resistance to the deadly plague and walk away.

>       It seems that the mother of several of the boys was a midwife, and

> that this would change immediately if anyone learned the formula, so she

> swore her children to secrecy. Her sons saved their necks and shared the

> recipe for the disinfectant, which is still used in France to this day. "

>       Given the simple ingredients of Four Thieves Vinegar and with all

> the yammering about smallpox, bioterrorism diseases and flu vaccine shortages

> in the news these days, it seems prudent to me to prepare a home stock of

> this historical preventative for dread diseases. According to Kastner, the

> traditional recipe for Four Thieves Vinegar " makes a lot of sense,

> medicinally speaking. "
