Odor may play a role with both garlic and onions. "Maybe they just kept people distant from each other, making it harder to transmit the virus," says William Schaffner, chairman of preventative medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He offers his own classic flu remedy from his Swiss-German heritage: "You go to bed in a four-poster bed. You put a hat on one of the posts and drink Schnapps, and when you see two hats, you are no longer bothered by symptoms of influenza."

ElectricUniverse:
Did you not read the article? They are making a mockery of home remedies, and of websites like ATS....

I certainly did read the article. E-Z, don't shoot the messenger.
Maybe some of the sheeple who click on the link will dig a little deeper into the ATS post and the many other posts on here and open their eyes.

As you know not everyone takes MSM as gospel.

I don't think this is good for ATS at all. All it does is show the average reader that people here are into alternative cures. To us that might not be such a bad idea. But they're putting us in a false light...and saying that what people are doing are wrong... etc. Then again, it's WSJ so what do you expect?

"There is no scientific evidence that any herbal, homeopathic or other folk remedies have any benefit against influenza," the CDC says
