Amazing onions

I got this wonderful forward from a friend of mine. It is about the amazing preventive and curative properties of onion which I would like to share with you all. I am presenting it in this blog without editing the original (pardon for grammatical errors as I have not corrected any.

The Amazing Onion.
It is not Vege Tales... but Facts.
Wish I knew this earlier!!

A friend of mine told me a story about when he was a kid he was in the
hospital & nearly 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 & we are going to try it this winter.
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.
For flu cure:
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 is 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.
Onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague
years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.
One more thing, never store cut onions and consume the next day!

Trust you liked it.

Dear Coffeelover,

I await for your feedback. Not only onion, if you know about some other natural curatives also, you may share.

I am Indian, my hair dressors are Indian only.

Infact, in North India, people carry onions during daytime in summer for protection from sun stroke. Anyway natural cures have no side effects and so can be tried.
