'Bubos'... swellings at lymph nodes....
'Bubos'... swellings at lymph nodes.... ran rampant with the introduction of 'refined' sugar by the jew merchants..... which destroyed the immune systems of millions which had never dealt with the poison before, causing a plague.... and the name stuck. Bubonic plague. Black Death.
The plague is carried by insects, and weak immune systems allow the proliferation. Diets play a major part in all diseases.
The most infamous symptom of bubonic plague is an infection of the lymph glands (lymphadenitis), which become swollen and painful and are known as buboes. After being transmitted via the bite of an infected flea the Y. pestis bacteria become localized in an inflamed lymph node where they begin to colonize and reproduce. Buboes associated with the bubonic plague are commonly found in the armpits, upper femoral, groin and neck region. Acral gangrene (i.e. of the fingers, toes, lips and nose), is another common symptom.
Too much 'refined' sugar increased bubonic outbreaks:
1665 London swept by bubonic plague. It was noticed that people who lived without sugar escaped harm. Over 68,000 die.
Exacerbation of many infectious diseases, such as bubonic plague and tuberculosis, is closely related to refined sugar consumption. Refined sugar is not only main cause of diabetes, but also promotes cancer growth, tooth decay, and depression. People think cotton was the main cause for slave trade, but the raise of sugar consumption and demand was one of the major causes for increased slave trade, along with tobacco.
