3. Bird Flu?

This quatrain, which talks of a worldwide plague may be in reference to the bird flu.

The great famine, which I sense approaching
will often turn (in various areas) then become worldwide.
It will be so vast and long lasting that (they) will grab
roots from the trees and children from the breast

Century 1, Quatrain 65.


This appears to predict a virus transmitted by bodily fluids. As an aside, Nostradamus also won wide acclaim for his plague-protecting potion of garlic and aloe; it may sound primitive, but garlic’s antibacterial properties have since been acknowledged while aloe is noted for the immunostimulatory properties that increase the immune system’s ability to fight infection and disease.

In another spectacular quatrain, Nostradamus talks of seeing the result of a great plague from an astronaut’s point of view.

A very great famine caused by a pestilent wave
Through a long rain the length of the Artic pole
Saarobryn one hundre leagues from the hemisphere
They will live without law; exempt from politics

(Century 6 – Quatrain 5)

This quatrain refers to a pestilent wave (disease) that can be viewed from the Artic pole from Saarobryn (an anagram for a space station) from one hundred leagues (about 300 miles up in the sky where space shuttles fly.)

Some people interpret Saarobryn to be an anagram for Sam Rayborn, the American senator who along with Senator Lyndon Johnson was instrumental in passing the bill that created NASA.
