Don't know if this actually works or if there is scientific fact to back it up,
but you never know...and it can't hurt to give it a try.

FLU

In 1919, when the flu killed 40 million people, there was a Doctor who 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 one farmer and his family, 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 each of 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 to place under a microscope. She gave him one and when he did, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the virus, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in Arizona. 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 prevents 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!!!!!
I DIDN'T CHECK WITH SNOPES,, OR ANY THING, JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BEINTERESTING!!
