Red Onions

Onions and Their Medicinal Miracles

Wow! I never knew this about ONIONS. I thought I would share this with my readers. Knowing this information could make the flu season more tolerable for you and your family. Please comment and let us know your thoughts.

In 1919 when the ‘flu killed 40 million people, there was a particular 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 the flu and many died.

The doctor came upon 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.

She gave him one which he placed under the microscope he found the ‘flu virus in the onion.

It had obviously absorbed the bacteria, there by keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my friend that owns a Beauty Shop 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 the Beauty Shop and, 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.

What have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!

Now there is a P.S. to this…

I sent this information to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues and she replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Farmer Jim, thanks for the reminder. I don’t know about the farmers story, but I do know that I contacted 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 and antiseptic properties.

This is the other note.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS

I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I don’t use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later.

Now with this info, I have changed my mind.will buy smaller onions in the future.

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family.

My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed – he’s one of the brothers.

Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula.

He’s even developed sauce formula for McDonald’s.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz.

During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise.

People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil.

Ed’s answer will surprise you.

He said that all commercially-made Mayo is completely safe.

“It doesn’t even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it’s not really necessary.” He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment.

He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the ‘victim’ last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?).

Ed says it’s not the mayonnaise (as long as it’s not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors.

It’s probably the onions, and if not the onions, it’s the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions.

You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. it’s not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It’s already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you. (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you’ll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you’re asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

 

So, how’s that for news? Take it for what you will.

I  know, “Farmer Jim’s” family, is going to be very careful about our onions from now on.

For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

Please remember it is dangerous to cut onion and use or cook the next day.

It becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

Pass this information on to all you love and care about.
