The biggest reason I started
making my own Anti-Plague
was due to the cost of the prepared product. Back when I was buying
Anti-Plague I could only afford to get a 4 oz. bottle. This usually
wasn’t enough to get me well, so I would end up going back to the herb
shop a couple of times to buy more. When I was taking classes at The School
of Natural Healing I talked some friends into making a 4 gallon batch of Anti-Plague and
splitting it. I was sold after that because ours tasted just as bad as
the store bought and worked just as good! This is a big project, but
once you do it you realize if you can make Anti-Plague you can make
anything! 
The second reason that I like to make my own extracts and syrup is so that you can use the herbs you want in them. Herb companies are no longer able to produce any internal formulas with comfrey in it and I want my family to have the comfrey because it is an amazing herb! The photo is the comfrey that is growing in my yard.
Dr. Christopher’s Anti-Plague Formula
Using 4 oz. as a part will make a little under a gallon. If you are buying one Anti-Plague kit it uses 4 oz. as a part. Plan on the following:
8 parts apple cider vinegar - 32 oz.
5 parts glycerine - 20 oz.
5 parts honey - 20 oz.
2 parts garlic juice, fresh - 8 oz
2 parts comfrey root concentrate - 8oz
1 part wormwood concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part lobelia leaf concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part marshmallow root concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part white oak bark concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part black walnut bark concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part mullein leaf concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part scullcap leaf concentrate - 4 oz.
1 part uva ursi, hydrangea or gravel root concentrate - 4 oz.
I start on Monday making the garlic/apple cider vinegar and finish up on Saturday with combining everything.
First make the garlic juice. I can get 8 oz. of garlic juice out of a pound of garlic when using my Green Star Juicer. Other juicers will likely need more garlic to get that much juice. Add garlic juice and pulp to the vinegar and shake 2-3 times a day for 4 - 5 days to get the rest of the goodness out of the pulp. Note that it often turns green looking, I don’t know why but most people tell me this happens. With all the Anti-Plague I have used over the years it hasn’t killed me!
If you don’t have a juicer use this alternative method: for the example of parts above amount use 2 1/2 lbs. of garlic - peel, blend in blender with vinegar (do not liquify). Let set for 4 - 5 days, shaking several times per day.
To make the concentrates:
Each concentrate should be made individually. Use only stainless steel or glass pots. Start by soaking the herb in enough distilled water to cover it for four hours and over night if it is a root. After soaking add more distilled water so that the total added equals 16 oz. water per 4 oz. of herb. Mullein is quite fluffy and you will end up adding a lot more water to it, and after the soaking you may need to add more water to some of the herbs as well, since it will have soaked it up. This is ok, just keep following the directions.
The
recipe calls for fresh comfrey if you have it. My mom taught
me to scrape off the black outer root because is quite bitter, so you
see me here scraping it off! Just part of the fun! Still soak it
overnight since it is a root.
Simmer
the herbs on very low heat in a covered pan or double boiler for thirty
minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes and then strain the liquid into a clean
pan, squeezing all of the liquid out of the herb. I like to use a
potato ricer for this. Next put the liquid into a double boiler or on
very low heat uncovered and simmown to one-er it dfourth of the
original volume (4 oz.) Go ahead and add a bit of distilled water
if you reduced it too far. Only after all the ingredients have been prepared should the liquids be mixed. It takes me 2 days to get the concentrates made. I do some on Thursday and the others on Friday, then I refrigerate the concentrates until they are ready to mix. Be sure they are all the same temperature before combining.
On Saturday I squeeze out the garlic from the vinegar, make sure there is a total of 40 oz., if not then add more apple cider vinegar to make bring it up to 40 oz. combined ACV/garlic juice. Add the honey, glycerine and liquid herbs to the ACV/garlic juice and mix well. Bottle and label and keep in a cool place. I keep mine in the back of the fridge so they are out of the way but at a controlled temperature. Dr. Christopher talks about it being good for ten years or more and I have used ten year old Anti-Plague and it works! Now you know how I make it!
If this sounds like too much work
for you we have Dr. Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune
Formula available in 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz, or Western Botanicals Immu-Defense
available in 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz as well as capsules. I have found that
when I get sick I need a full 16 oz. bottle to get well. I like to keep
at least 2 large bottles per person on hand. About the herbs in Anti-Plague
