This is from an email I received, and believe would help us all:
Comment: Onions – I read years ago to put onions in a room after you paint to get rid of the fumes.
And it worked so the comments below might have truth.
PS My grandfather died from the Swine Flu. Passed on Oct 18, 1918 - My grandmother Helen (daughter -Mary). My mother was born in February 1, 1919 and amazing she was baptized the same day she was born. Guess they thought she won’t survive-my mom lived to age of 87 years old.
What do you think????
Good old time remedy...
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 families 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 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 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 in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:
Weldon, 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.

Selenium and vitamin E are synergistic and the two together are stronger than the sum of the
equal parts. Selenium slows down aging and hardening of tissues through oxidation. Males
seem to have a greater need for this mineral. Nearly half of the total supply in the body is
concentrated in the testicles and in the seminal ducts adjacent to the prostate gland.
Selenium is useful in keeping youthful elasticity in tissues. It alleviates hot flushes and
menopausal distress. It also helps in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. This mineral is
found in Brewer’s yeast, garlic,onions, tomatoes, eggs, milk and sea food. There is no official
dietary allowance for selenium but, 50 to 100 mg. is considered adequate. Deficiency of this
mineral can cause premature loss of stamina.
They are also said to help fight heart disease, kidney stones, arteriosclerosis, and cooked onions help relieve arthritis.
Fresh juices of garlic , onions, radish and tomatoes also contain antibiotic substances.
Great post!
