The Black Death that decimated populations in Europe and elsewhere during the middle of the 14th century may not have been a blindly indiscriminate killer, as some experts have believed.

My Comment:

Here's the key part of the story...

"DeWitte analyzed skeletons unearthed from the East Smithfield cemetery in London, dug especially for plague victims and excavated in the 1980s, for bone and teeth abnormalities that would show that people had health problems before they died of plague.

She found such abnormalities in many skeletons, suggesting these people had experienced malnutrition, iron deficiencies and infections well before succumbing to the Black Death."

This is the same with most "deadly" diseases like the flu and many of the other diseases that the medical community likes to scare us into getting vaccinations for. In general, if you are healthy and are not depleted in any nutrients, like Vitamin D, and you have a healthy gut (plenty of good bacteria), your body is quite capable of fighting off "deadly" diseases.
