Four
Thieves Vinegar
Herbal
lore has it that, while the Plague was raging in France a rash of burglaries of
plague victims' homes was discovered. No efforts was made, however, to
apprehend the thieves, as it was assumed what they would soon succumb to the
contagion in the homes they had robbed...
The
thieves carried on their crime spree for some time, and people begun to wonder
why they had not become ill and die. It was then that the authorities began to
pursue them... to discover the secret of their immunity of the Plague.
Once the
burglars had been apprehended, they struck a bargain with the authorities that
they should be set free in exchange to revealing the secret to their immunity
to the Plague.
It was
then that the four thieves revealed the herbal disinfectant formula that
rendered then immune to the Plague.
Current
theories suggest that the formula, now called "Four Thieves Vinegar",
may offer protection against fearsome possible threats, such as the flu,
smallpox and biological weapons, which concern us today. As all of its
ingredients are either strong anti-bacterial agents or have potent anti-viral
properties.
