Garlic and bubonic plague (aka Black Death)

[Guest guest]

Erica, I have no idea to what research you refer, but the bubonic plague of

1348-1349 and subsequent waves (dubbed the " Black Death " by historians)

wiped out at least half the population of Europe. It was neither caused by a

garlic deficiency nor cured by garlic. That is truly nonsense ... and we're

into the historian's world a bit, one of my specialties.

thank God. I totally researched it for a book I wrote on living

I read an entire book on the history of garlic, Elchanan. It told

the story of 3 robbers who were robbing the dead. They were brought

into court. The judge said, " If you can tell me how you managed to

steal from the dead (plague) bodies without getting it, you can go

free " , or along those lines. They drank garlic brine from around

their necks.

 

Also, it talked about the age-old remedy for venomous snake-bites,

namely rattlers. It is common knowledge among snake-handlers (middle-

esat, etc) that when you chew a clove of garlic and mix it with the

enzymes in your saliva (to " activate " it), you can stick it in the

snakebite and it will ward off infection. Been used for

centuries.....
