ONIONS...anyone?

Hi everyone,

Doesn't hurt to try.  Onions are cheap and easily available and most importantly, they are natural.

These testimonials sound pretty convincing.  
 
A  friend of mine told me a story about  how when he was a  kid he was in the hospital & near dying.  His grandmother came to the hospital & told a family member  to go buy her a large onion & a new  pair of white cotton socks.  She sliced the onion  open then put a slice on the bottom of each of  his feet  & put the white cotton socks on him.  In the   morning when he awoke they removed the socks.  The  slices of  onion were black & his fever was  gone.  The following story that  someone sent to me  might have some truth in it.

In  1919 when the flu killed 40   million people there was this Doctor that visited  the many  farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.  Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and  many died.  
 
The  doctor came upon this one  farmer and to his  surprise,  everyone was very  healthy.  When the doctor asked what  the farmer was doing that was different  the wife  replied  that she  had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms   of the home, (probably  only two rooms back then).  

The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if  he could have one of   the  onions and place it under the microscope.  She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in  the  onion.  It obviously absorbed  the bacteria,  therefore, keeping the family healthy.  
 
Now, I  heard this  story from my  hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees  were  coming down with the flu and so were many  of her  customers. The next year she placed several bowls with   onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick.  It must work..  (And no,  she  is not in  the onion  business.)
 
The moral of the story is, buy some  onions and place  them  in bowls around your home.  If  you  work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk  or even  on top somewhere.   Try it and see what  happens. We did it last year and we never  got the flu.
 
If this  helps you and your loved ones  from getting sick,  all  the  better.  If you do get the flu, it just might  be a mild   case..
 
Whatever, what have you to  lose?  Just a  few bucks  on  onions!!!!!! !!!!!!!!  
        
Now there is a P.S. to this for I sent it to a friend who regularly contributes material  to me on health issues. She  replied with this most  interesting experience about  onions:   
     
Well, thanks for the  reminder.  I  don't know about the farmers story...but, I do know that I contacted  pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then  place the  forked end into an empty jar...placing the jar next to the sick  patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning  from the germs...sure enough it  happened just like that...the  onion  was a mess and I began to feel better.
        
Another thing I read in the article was that onions and  garlic  placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They  have powerful antibacterial,  antiseptic  properties.
