I have stated this before. but I work with many sick people and I have been doing the onion thing for weeks and have been warding off the bug!! I know this onion remedy works cause I have not been sick.

I've got the flu right now, not sure if its the SF or not, but I'm feeling terrible nonetheless. I havent felt right for a couple days, but it seems to have flourished inside me, and now I feel terrible, and for some reason my poop is basically green water... Thats a first for me. Never had green a green #2.


Anyway, I'm gonna chop up a couple onions and stick them in my humidifyer and see how I feel in the morning.

I eat a lot of raw foods, no meats, and a lot of water and veges (i make soup with a pot of water and drink it all hehe). I think it helps keep me strong , b.c prior to this H1N1 i have never been sick for more than 3 days out of the year and only very mild colds. I caught h1n1-I self diagosed b.c I was around my family members whom were sick the day b4 i caught their illness-they were diagnosed so I just assumed (I hate doctors ever since one put my fractured bones back in place while i was awake -yuck). but there's always a possibility i have something else...just unlikely..I never caught a high fever and my battle with it seemed less intense. I think b.c of what I ate (no sugars, raw and cooked veges, tons of water-onions in the mix too sometimes lol). It lasted weeks-the longest ive ever been sick since I've been a child. I still have fluid in my lungs that I'm getting out-but I still didn't have it as bad as my family members (they took meds so were cured quicker-just had it more intense)...sorry rambling lol. I just think food is important-I didn't need meds at all my diet keeps my body able to fight. Animals are fed with a lot of anti oxidants, taht are said to lower our responce to meds for infections-I don't eat meat and often wonder if I am better off with fighting infections than som eppl (I'm not saying eating meat is wrong, just an observation). I don't think I even would have caught this, but i foolishly kissed my baby nephew on the lips (and he was sick -poor kid-he's great now tho)
sorry for any typos. late here so tired lol

Take Airborne, put lots of cinnamon on your toast, nutmeg in your coffee and crushed red pepper on your pizza!

I saw earlier that white onions were what the OP used but does it matter if you use red or yellow or green onions? Is there a difference? I'm not sick but this sounds like something to keep in mind. Thanks OP.

Mmmm, now I am hungry hehe. I am not partial to coffee, but love cinnamon , red peppers are yummy! I enjoy red an dgreen peppers on my pizza and in my vege subs =D thanks for the tips!

On the naural remedy front, i know a lot of people have bad things to say about colloidal silver use, understandable as if not done right things can mess up.. but after over a year of myself, partner and son taking it, we get colds and flu that last hours instead of days to weeks like others around us, and its always a great deal more tame than the sickness that hits them..

just thought i would add that in lol

What is the best way to prepare the onions? Best way to eat it? And do "Onion Pills" work the same?

Thanks for letting me know about this onion remedy, I will remember this.

I started drinking a glass of water with a squeeze of lime about five years ago, and I haven't been sick since. I used to get the flu every year it came around, but not now. I used to take vitamin C tablets, but they just weren't effective.

The lime is also alkaline, which surprised me to learn. It seems that lime should help reduce your bodies acidic levels, which from what I have heard, is what causes cancer.

One thing to be careful about, get some tongs, because the lime will start to mess with your finger nails after awhile.

Elder Berry - Great for fighting flu and colds. Old house wives cure that.

Funnily enough last time i was in our local health food shop, i asked about the swine flue and what people were taking to combat it naturally. The lady showed me a medicine which is elderberry extract and said it was their most popular seller.

Well I am flued now, first night, fast onset, I will do the onion (hope I have one as I used a bunch last week).

I worked in a health food store for years I tried it all - I would say OREGANO OIL
and GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT or GSE have been the BEST by far. I know the GSE
is DISGUSTINGLY bitter twenty drops to a glass and it still gags (most people), but I will say that stuff will knock out any sore throat (has been recognized as the most anti (anything) compound in nature, including anti taste bud). Oregano OIL is fantastic too, but "somebody" is pulling it off the market, campaign style...

Looking for an onion ------- NOW

Thanks CX

edit - onion in water by the bed...

I woke up this morning with a bad cold....2nd one in 2 months, I rarely get them but not this season.

Well I was miserable, sneezing every 30 seconds. I went up peeled and cut up an onion. Put it in a little water and boiled it sniffing the steam.

I am the most onion cure all skeptic on here I think.

Well it cleared my sinuses, I havent sneezed once. I've lost about a gallon of snot in the process, but my nose isnt running and I feel better within 30 minutes.

I think it just cleared me out, the whole house smells like onion. If I feel better this afternoon I'll post back.

Yes it has made a difference, but we will see how long it lasts. Im still marinating in onion fumes right now.
