Got this from my friend Mary. LOL...funny...but definitely worth trying!!
I've also been told that if you have a fever, put a slice an onion on the
bottom of your feet, and put socks on to hold it in place. The next morning
when you wake up, the onion will have a yellow-brownish hue to it like it
was being cooked. Supposedly, the onion "draws out" the fever from your
body...Rena





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 house (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.

What do you have to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
