This is supposed to be a true story ...

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 couldnt 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.
Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on
onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What we do know: Onions are high in quercitin which promotes heart health. They are also high in beta-carotene and chromium. It is a very healthy food to eat. Putting slices in your socks or in your room does not do anything. Proven is the word you were looking for. I believe that there are ancient remedies and new homeopathic methods that work. Most of them, though, are just blurted out and repeated by people with no scientific review. Some are even harmful

So, this doctor had an electron microscope in 1919? It's the only way to see a virus, and had not been invented until 1931.

Flu virus wasn't discovered (at least by mainstream medicine) until 1930.

If onions cause virus to propagate through the air, don't you think that making your virus airborne would be irresponsible during an epidemic?

[RedImperator]

I can't tell if the person who posted that description is trying to troll people into making their homes and workplaces smell like onions, or just an imbecile.

A misuse of the word "immunity". You cannot be immune to something you have not been exposed to. You may be resistant to the illness, but not immune. Note the carefully chosen words "which could aid the fight against the flu".

An onion in a bowl cannot "filter out germs" unless all the air in the room is passed through the onion. Come on, please use a little common sense here and some rational thinking. Read the words and stop making logical leaps.

I have tried to include a link to GI foods on a message but the system would not allow it.

If you google GI foods you will find sites that list the foods with their GI index.

You don't need to the GI diet to lose weight but need to include low GI foods to manage blood sugar. Nuts would be good snacks as they contain good fats and are low GI.

I buy Nairn's oatcakes which I snack on if I feel hungry.

[SuperOrangerose]

Low GI foods are foods that are slowly released such as whole grains and oats.

High GI foods are released quickly and usually are high in sugar. These foods will send your blood sugar high and then there will be a sudden fall.

Porridge is a good breakfast or a wholegrain cereal that does not have a high sugar content.

You will find lists of foods on the internet and Anthony Worrall Thompson has written a recipe book based on the principle.

@SuperOrangerose i had a blood test a few months back and thyroid was checked and came back ok. he doesnt seem interested in looking into it anymore. it definitely isnt normal to be this underweight though, iv never met anyone with problem of eating but not gaining weight- everyone just thinks i dont eat enough.
