| {This was Pierce Wednesday} |
We've been hit with the crud:(
So far it's just Pierce and hopefully it stays that way!
He has a temperature and the body aches.
I'm a freak about germs and feared this would hit us.
I saw this article on Facebook:
"Subject: Fw: Onions For Collecting The Flu Virus
ONION
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..
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 contracted 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"

So guess what we have laying around this house?!
You guessed it...onions!
Hope you're all staying healthy!
And if you've been struck with the crud also...STAY HOME!!
Keep those germs to yourself!!
Okay?! Okay!
Just dont leave it where kiddos can get to it. The onion is terribly poisonous. Feel better! Asher is a sicky too.
ReplyDeleteDid it work? I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteI think it's working! My son threw up Monday morning one time and then he was fine. We haven't had any other major germs here (knock on wood!).
DeleteI figure having onions laying around my house is not going to hurt us so it's worth a try!
