As we are told to wash our hands for the duration of a hearty ‘Happy Birthday” and to stay close to home if at all possible, I am not sure it will make a difference.
I remember several years back a very adventurous friend of mine from the States was resolute on taking her trip to Asia at the heart of the SARS outbreak, saying that she would rather realise her dream to travel to the destination than be afraid of the outcome. I really admired her for that and she was of course perfectly safe.
The Covid-19 virus is a virtually unpredictable and unfamiliar virus that seems to attack the elderly and more infirm of our species. Perhaps this is why there is a chill running through the country and our government as we try to contain it.
Allways use a tissue and dispose of carefully
But if you can cast your minds or at least your history books back to the Plague of the 16th Century, you may begin to understand how remarkable it was when four robbers survived, even having been in direct contact with the bodies of those who had died with the deadly disease as they raided their graves and bodies. But they put it down to a secret remedy.
I met up with another friend again recently who swears by this ancient remedy, and is even more determined to carry it around with him with the threat of this virus. He comes into contact with people all the time, and has so far been exonerated from flu and virus infections for several years since he has been inhaling the preparation.
Things to look out for
The Four Thieves remedy originated from Marseilles around 1760 when these four vagabonds were arrested and traded in their secret cure and prevention of the disease that was wiping out a nation. Yes, that’s right they did a deal with the government (or the devil) to get themselves a reprieve from being beheaded.
So how effective is the essence? I suspect that it is 90 percent self-belief that you won’t get it and 10 percent the actual remedy itself. But that is my own interpretation, and as in all old wife’s tales or herbal remedies, I do believe there is an element of truth in all of them – with the exception perhaps of bloodletting!!
The original recipe hung in the Museum of Paris in 1937 and is said to be a copy of the recipe displayed on the walls of Marseilles at the time of the Plague:
The Four Thieves remedy
Take three pints of strong white wine vinegar, add a handful of each of wormwood, meadowsweet, wild marjoram and sage, fifty cloves, two ounces of campanula roots, two ounces of angelic, rosemary and horehound and three large measures of camphor. Place the mixture in a container for fifteen days, strain and express then bottle. Use by rubbing it on the hands, ears and temples from time to time when approaching a plague victim.
Another recipe called for dried rosemary, dried sage flowers, dried lavender flowers, fresh rue, camphor dissolved in spirit, sliced garlic, bruised cloves, and distilled wine vinegar.
Anti-bacterial and anti-viral modern-day solutions
Four thieves vinegar include various herbs that typically include sage, lavender, thyme, and rosemary, along with garlic. Additional herbs sometimes include rue, mint, and wormwood. It has become traditional to use four herbs in the recipe—one for each thief, though earlier recipes often have a dozen herbs or more. It is still sold in Provence. In Italy a mixture called “seven thieves’ vinegar” is sold as a smelling salt, though its ingredients appear to be the same as in four thieves’ mixtures.
Modern day version
But in our modern day, we can buy it here on Amazon as an aromatherapy preparation, and as a result of the recent directive, I am now going out armed with both Four Thieves essential oil and a good hand gel, as I would like to take a tip from my courageous American friend, who was adventure lead and didn’t allow anything to deter her from living her life.
After all, when your number is up …… and I am a great fatalist and a believer in the Law of Attraction which has served me really well for many many years.

by Dee | Feb 20, 2020 | Featured, SHARON BURBRIDGE CELEBRITY NUMEROLOGIST
When I was introduced to Sharon Burbridge I had already been told that I would be impressed, but was not prepared for her endless psychic abilities and willingness to share guidance based upon her supreme insights.
Celebrity Psychic Sharon Burbridge
I was introduced to her by a friend, actress Debbie Arnold who described her as an ‘inspiration’. We met up at the legendary Joe Allen’s in Covent Garden, and I was blown away with the modest generosity of spirit of this lovely lady. She sported a fabulous tan having recently returned from Spain, and her entire look was far more glamorous than I had envisaged, but without the ego that usually goes with it.
Sharon is more than a clairvoyant, she saw her first apparition at the age of 7. ‘Mum worried about me at that time, she told me I had an imaginary friend, and played it down about spirits as my mum has always been very psychic and intuitive and seen many spirits herself but never used her gift.’
But it was something that would not go away and Sharon continued to see spirits, including her Nan after her passing, until she was studying articles at a law firm, but quickly realised being a solicitor was not the future she had in mind.
‘I knew it was a different type of life calling, a mission to use my psychic gifts for the greater good, to help people’.
The rest is history as she gave up her law studies and threw herself into learning about Astrology and Numerology as she felt she wanted a scientific dimension to her spiritual work as an ‘empath’.
Sharon explained that when she reads cards she is immediately connected with images relating to the person and the subject matter which puts her into a league of her own.
She has had many triumphant moments throughout her career spanning over three decades, from predicting relationships to someone’s impending success in business. A recent client has actually met the man of her dreams and is soon to marry him within the time frame predicted by Sharon. It is quite extraordinary how accurate she is.
One of Sharron’s first tarot readings was with the celebrity Mandy Smith, who was living nearby, followed by her family, which is when she began to realise her abilities and how she could really make a difference in people’s lives.
Sharon has now been part of a massive celebrity circle for many years, with confidentiality as a key element in her clientele. She has read within Royal circles too, and has had to sign the Official Secrets Act. Such are her talents and capabilities.
Quote from Soap royalty Michelle Collins
Sharon also acts as a mentor and guide with her readings, and is proud of the fact that with all of her predictions the majority have returned for a second time or more, out of the hundreds of thousands she has helped over the years.
Sharon has been married to her husband Nick for over thirty years and has two grown up children and two beautiful grandchildren.
Sharon and her husband Nick
But not all has been plain sailing for Sharon, and she has been faced with some challenging health issues, and has undergone chemotherapy. But forever the optimist, she feels it is part of her own journey as an ‘empath’, so that she can experience part of the pain of others to understand it.
Sharon’s focus is to help others, and she is also involved in a number of local charities herself. Her motto is to be kind, and give back whenever you can.
Quote from Soap royalty Debbie Arnold
Sharon is currently writing a book with affirmations, which she feels will help people on a daily basis. She continues with her readings and can take appointments by email. She will not disappoint, and I can personally guarantee if it is anything like a recent reading she did for me, it will blow you away, transform your life and ultimately enable you to move on.

When I spoke to the inimitable Jim Davidson in the wake of the tragic untimely death of Caroline Flack, it was evident that he was reflecting the truth in a way only someone with his intelligence and ultimate familiarity could comprehend.
Jim Davidson
Jim has been involved with a commendable charity Care After Combat for a number of years providing professional assistance for the care of the Veteran and their family. So as well as his own legendary recognition and experiences in television, he is also familiar with the aftermath of a major trauma or threat to life, and so the most qualified to speak on the subject.
Here is what Jim has to say:
‘It is with great sadness that we read about yet another “celebrity” taking their lives. I did not know Caroline Flack and I’ve never seen her on television. This would probably come as a shock to young ladies under the age of 40 to whom Caroline would’ve been a big star. Today I’ve been reading about Caroline’s tragic life. Although it wouldn’t seem tragic to people with normal lives or the families and friends of veterans taking their lives as well, it is nevertheless a sad story.. One that is, I’m afraid, all too predictable… In hindsight of course! so.. Let’s look back…
Caroline Flack
One day, someone invented the reality show. We all know reality shows are not real, but what they are, is a money making machine. It is no good having a high rated television show if all the money goes to the stars that appear in it. One can imagine that Morecambe and Wise got huge fees. I bet the producers were thinking,” how can we get these ratings without Morecambe and Wise?, then, we can keep all the money. Producers then made their own stars. Lads like Ant and Dec..who were not an act but were nice and could read the auto cue. They were cheap..they were also brilliant and confirmed what the producers thought. Ironically, now they cost ten time what Morecambe and Wise got paid.
First of all the reality show took the style of following round middle-aged men building houses, and then people selling houses.. Or cooking. Then we had cameras following the police, the Navy, the army. All these programs deliver great ratings and best of all, are cheap to make.
Big Brother
Then along came Big Brother. Not only was it cheap to make, the stars were the public. There was no money to be paid.. Not only that, the viewing public would phone up and pay their money. The people with the most votes, or should I say the people that make the TV company the most money… won. I’ve often wondered if anybody on the phone in shows has published how many votes were made?, and in fact were the winners chosen by the public or the producers? If I was a television producer I would not let the public choose who was going to be on my show next week.
When I did the Generation Game I would ask the audience to vote on their little clickers. They weren’t plugged in… The producer would pick.
The Generation Game
TV companies aim to attract viewers in the 18 to 35 bracket. These are described as people with disposable income.The TV companies then started promoting in house runners and researchers to become producers. Reality TV is produced by young women mostly. They know everything about fake tan and drawn on eyebrows. They deal with people who have no talent apart from being pleasing on the eye. Young producers know what the TV execs want…big ratings and watched by the disposable income mob!
Programs like love Island are really just spin-offs from Big Brother. Everyone is looking for the pot of gold.Love Island promotes vanity. It tells the young viewer that you can aspire to be like one of these people. you don’t need talent, If however you’ve got a bit of talent, do not have a six pack, or eyebrows like a ventriloquist doll, you can go and do X factor and sign your life away.
That seems to be a few tragedies linked to Love Island, and I’m not surprised.
Let me for a second talk about what I actually know about. My best friend and superstar Keith Emerson took his life.
I’ve often wondered why did it. In 1978 Emerson Lake and Palmer played to 88,000 people in the Olympic stadium in Montréal. In California they were top of the bill to a festival that attracted 250,000 people.
Keith Emerson
Like all good things, that came to an end, the band split up and Keith nursing a damage right hand started to struggle with the fact that ELP were not relevant any more.
I believe the Keith could not make the transition from what he was, to what he had become. He was loved by many, had a fantastic family, but, everybody has their demons. Keith had his, and we tragically lost a friend, father and genius…….
I deal with many veterans that cannot cope with not being who they were. 99% of veterans make the transition to being a civilian with no trouble at all. Some however find it unbearable and the demons start circling.
Let’s look at Love Island and compare.
The people that appear on it, have, in their eyes, and in the eyes of their peers, made it to the top. They have achieved fame, something they always dreamed of. They were “on the telly” the trouble is, when you do nothing to achieve fame, and that fame comes along instantly, you must be aware that it can vanish just as quickly. Who programs these contestants to understand this?
Long ago we lobbied the Ministry of Defence to start training soldiers sailors and airmen to prepare themselves for when they leave the forces. Is anyone helping these kids cope with what follows Love Island and the three month honeymoon period of being famous?
Care After Combat
The more I read about Caroline the sadder I become and the more I feel for these poor sods there are paraded around in the search of stardom… But the reality is, all they are doing is filling the pockets of the TV executives and providing false roll models for the millions of young people who aspire to be just like them….. That is the reality of the reality show.
Rest in peace Caroline… I believe although having great talent as a dancer and presenter, and by all accounts being witty an attractive person… You were dragged into this falsehood that Fame last forever..
I don’t think we should blame anybody for her tragic death we should pray for her family and friends and hope that their love for her will never die.. But let us not forget the millions who aspire to be part of the machine that some could say attributed to this tragedy.
” we made you………”
