Advantages and disadvantages of Onions

In 1919, flu killed 40 million people.

A doctor visited the many farmers who had the attack to see if he could help them combat the flu.

Many of the farmers & their family had contracted the flu and many died.

However, the doctor came upon one farmer whose family was healthy and nobody in the house contracted the flu.

The doctor asked the farmer what he was doing that was different from the others.

The farmer's wife replied that she put an unpeeled onion in a dish and placed them in all the rooms in their house.

The doctor thought that could have been the cure so he asked for one of those onions.

As he placed it under the microscope, he found the flu virus in the onion. The onions obviously absorbed all the bacteria and thereby kept the family healthy.

Now, I sent this story to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

She said ' Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story but, I do know that I myself got pneumonia and became very ill. 

From my previous knowledge about onions, I  cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to myself over night.

By the morning, I began to feel better while the onion became black.'

Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe the onions that we ate earlier are to blame.

*Onions ABSORB BACTERIA* and that is the reason why they are so good at preventing us from getting *colds & flu*

And for that very reason we should NOT eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has *been cut open.*

*Left over onions are poisonous*

When food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is whether the 'victim'  ate *ONIONS* and where those onions came from. 

Most probably the *ONIONS,* are the cause.

*Onions are huge magnets* for bacteria, especially uncooked ones.

*Never ever keep a portion of sliced onion over a period of time and thereafter use it to prepare food. It's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and placed it in your refrigerator. It is still poisonous*

Also, do not give onions to dogs. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

*Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to save it to cook with the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night - as it creates toxic bacteria which causes adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.*

Let as many as possible people know this.

-Apple cider vinegar: we wet a cotton in this vinegar and we adhere it to the affected zone with a gaza during the night, we repeat until eliminating the wart.

A small solution for your memory problems!

Memory problems are becoming increasingly common, and medication seems to be the only way to fix it. Have you ever wondered how you could naturally treat memory problems?

“We wanted to build on our previous research that indicated rosemary aroma improved long-term memory and mental arithmetic. In this study we focused on prospective memory, which involves the ability to remember events that will occur in the future and to remember to complete tasks at particular times this is critical for everyday functioning,” said Dr. Mark Moss, one of the study conductors.

A series of tests were performed including one where the test subjects were placed into a room with a diffuser filled with four drops of Rosemary essential oil. After the amount of time, the subjects were asked to perform certain tasks including one where they were instructed to find certain objects and hand said objects over to instructors at a certain time. The results showed that the subjects placed into the rosemary scented room performed on the prospective memory tasks than the placebo group.

“These findings may have implications for treating individuals with memory impairments. It supports our previous research indicating that the aroma of rosemary essential oil can enhance cognitive functioning in healthy adults, here extending to the ability to remember events and to complete tasks in the future. Remembering when and where to go and for what reasons underpins everything we do, and we all suffer minor failings that can be frustrating and sometimes dangerous. Further research is needed to investigate if this treatment is useful for older adults who have experienced memory decline.”

Rosemary breaks down acetylcholine, a chemical found in the brain. This potentially allows nerve cells to communicate better with one another,

Rosemary has been linked to memory throughout history. Shakespeare said it best in Hamlet,” There’s rosemary that’s for remembrance: pray, love, remember.” It is also said that the Tudor house Of England believed Rosemary to enhance memory.
