Nostradamus was a very influencional person during Europe's great plague. Nostradamus was born in France in the year 1503 from a family of "Christianized Jews". He was taught a wide range of things such as math, philosophy, Greek, Celestial Science and interestingly Hebrew, from both of his grandfathers, one of which had lived most of his life as a "Jew". Nostradamus went to the University of Montpellier to study medicine where he received the license to practice. During this period there was an outbreak of the plague

From the evidence we can clearly see that Nostradamus was a man of his time and also a man of the future.

in Europe, and Nostradamus left the university to help the victims. Nostradamus became well known due to his successful treatment of the bubonic plague, which was unorthodox at the time, which didn't earn him praise from his colleagues. His innovative cure consisted of cleanliness and vitamin C. The first thing he would do when he entered a village was to have all the corpses removed from the streets. He then prescribed for his patients plenty of fresh air (which was not encouraged at the time), unpolluted water and his "Rose Pills" which consisted of rose pedals, saw dust form green cypress, iris, cloves, calamus, and lign-alos. One of the treatments he did not allow was "bleeding" (which was extremely popular at the time and was used to cure everything from a minor cold to the Great Plague). He was successful in healing people where which there seemed to be no cure. In 1537, a plague struck Agen which, at the time he was living with his wife children. He began to treat the people of Agen but his family got the plague and could not help them and they tragically died.

Nostradamus knelt as the boy crossed the street. The boy asked why are you knelling to me, Nostradamus replied that he must kneel before his holiness. Felis Peretti became Pope Sixtus V in 1585, some twenty years after Nostradamus died. After this point Nostradamus begin to write his prediction of the future on paper but due to the inquisitions at the time he had to hide, or code, his visions (like Leonardo Davinche) in order to avoid being charged with witch craft. Appropriately Nostradamus predicted his death and secretly left. Nostradamus saved many peoples lives during the time of the great plague.

He saved many people from the plague with his original remedies. France took note of this and granted him a life time pension which was unthinkable for a doctor to receive. Nostradamus successfully wrote about his future and our past from his eyes. He saw visions King Henry, Napoleon, JFK, Hitler, and many more. In detail he wrote many prophecies of great people perishing. Now it is up to us to believe, or not believe in Nostrodamus's predictions of the future. The evidence of the past stands for itself. Yet in his day it was unthinkable to contempl
