by Dr. Len Horowitz and Dr. Sabina Devita Back in the days of the Black plague, and last century's devastating influenza epidemic, a significant percentage of people survived. Even with the more recent Ebola virus outbreaks, this ideal biological weapon kills nine-out-of-ten people within three weeks of infection. Yet, ten percent survive. The question is, "Why?" What makes survivors of biological attacks different from deceased victims is their natural constitution and solid immunity. Modern science teaches that you can, in fact, enhance both. For instance, the health and function of your DNA critically depends on water hydration, particularly of special Clustered Water molecules that fuel the double helix's electrical potential for optimal cell function and longevity. For more information about Clustered Water, see the online store at http://www.healingcelebrations.com. Likewise, your immunity can be naturally bolstered myriad ways. A great example of one natural, God-given, and Bible recommended, antibiotic ideally used to resist the plagues of yesteryear, and today, including biological weapons attacks such as Anthrax and smallpox, is essential oils. Did you know that during the great plague in Europe in 1413, a small band of thieves were captured in Marseilles, France, and charged with robbing the dead and dying bubonic plague victims? Although this "Black Death" (Pasteurella pestis) was highly contagious, not one of this morbid band of thieves ever contracted the disease. The king, eager to protect himself and the Royal family, demanded to know how the thieves had avoided the plague. Related by blood to a lineage of apothecaries, the thieves were familiar with a combination of specific plant oils that when rubbed over their bodies, protected them from contracting this most feared and deadly disease. They rubbed a concoction that included clove, rosemary, and cinnamon on their hands, ears and temples. This same formulation found in the Royal English Archives is available today from Young Living Essential Oils called the "Thieves" oil blend. Ancient scriptures are filled with references to aromatic oils. In fact, 188 references to oils are made in the Bible. Frankincense, myrrh, spikenard, and cassia are repeatedly mentioned throughout the Old and New Testaments used for anointing and healing. Dr. Jean Valnet, one of the world's foremost authorities on the therapeutic uses of these oils, points out that the powerful medicinal value of essential oils were known for centuries and were considered more valuable than gold and prized for healing and anointing. We, therefore, highly encourage the purchase and use of natural essential oils that have been developed for life-saving applications by naturopathic physician and humanitarian, Dr. Gary Young. During a recent meeting, Dr. Young presented his concerns and suggestions regarding the need to prepare for biological warfare in the United States in the aftermath of recent terrorist attacks and the retaliatory bombing in Afghanistan. Here, in summary, are our recommendations: Since we believe that the current global crisis likewise reflects warfare taking place on at least six other spiritual dimensions, we urge devout prayer and meditation for protection, peace, and global healing at this critical time. We believe that the power of prayer and fasting can make a huge different in accomplishing these outcomes. With this objective in mind, and heart, we will be joining Dr. Young, and thousands of others, in fasting every Wednesday. Water and juice fasts are recommended.   Recommended Essential Oil Formulas The following oil formulas, and their indications for usage, are urgently recommended at this time: Gathering — lends electromagnetic (i.e., spiritual) support and helps us overcome the bombardment of chaotic energy that alters our focus and pulls us off the path toward higher achievements.
