PLAGUE FORMULA


Several years ago, I became aware of a “Plague Formula” recipe.  From what I understand, something similar to this potent formula may have been used during the Middle Ages in Europe to strengthen one’s immune system and help resist dying from The Bubonic Plague.

This particular formula, developed by Dr. Richard Schulze, is as follows:

1 large white onion
2 large bulb garlic
            1 large ginger root as long as your hand
6-8 inch horseradish root
2 large handfuls habenero peppers or hottest available
1-2 large containers of raw apple cider vinegar       

1. Put all vegetables in blender.   
2. Cover vegetables with vinegar.  Blend 1-2 minutes until mashed. 
3. Pour mash into glass jars ¾ full. Cover to top of jar with vinegar.  Apply lid. 
4. Leave on counter and shake 3 times a day for 2 weeks or longer. 
5. Strain though cheese cloth and store in dark glass bottles in a cool place.
6. Dosage: 1 T. in a glass of water or juice, several times a day.

As you probably know, the Plague was caused by bacteria which spread to humans by bites from the fleas of infected rats.  My husband said that with all those ingredients just the smell of it is enough to keep anything away! 

However, it isn’t the smell that creates its effectiveness.  It actually works within the body to boost the immune system. 

According to Dr. Schulze, fresh garlic and onions have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-parasitic properties.  The other ingredients also have properties that contribute to its effectiveness.  But it has to be ingested into the body for it to work.  It “comes alongside” the body’s own bacteria-fighting capabilities to overcome the ill effects of the bacteria.  (Dr. Schulze's Plague Formula)

My friend, Andrea, recently shared with me an insight she had while reading about a plague in the Bible: a plague of a different nature—the plague of sin.  She expressed it this way, “Sin has a plague-like, and death-producing, effect.” 

I pondered that thought.

How true this is! When we are constantly exposed to situations in life that are contrary to what God teaches in the Bible, we begin to lose our sensitivity to them.  The continual exposure to the lifestyle of those who don’t honor God begins to dilute our sense of right and wrong.  We can, without awareness of it, be drawn into embracing a lifestyle that is dishonoring to God.  Such is the condition—not only of our own society, but of the world.

The infectious ‘bacteria’ of self-gratification, self-exaltation, and power has replaced the healthy lifestyle of submission and service to God.  We’ve been infected by the worldview of our society.  Self has replaced God.  We’ve become captivated by this allure of ‘self-actualization’ and have been drawn into its web. 

And so, by virtue of constant exposure, we’ve caught the disease.  We’ve become victims of the plague.  We need a Plague Formula!

            One heart full of desire to know God intimately and accurately
            One soul yielded to the cleansing power of Jesus Christ
One mind full of willingness to follow God’s instructions and commands
Two eyes searching for wisdom as for hidden treasure
Two ears full of attentiveness to that wisdom
One soul willing to yield to the beauty of serving the Living God

Instructions:
1. Carefully incorporate these ingredients into your life so as to walk in integrity
    by the power of God.
2. Practice the above ingredients daily. 
3. Mix them gently with constant prayer.
4. Resist, through the power of this formula, the pull of the world to exalt and
    gratify the desires of Self.

Complete application of this formula will strengthen the spiritual immune system and enable the user to escape the threat of spiritual death brought on by the Plague of Self.
