Onion Theory .
A friend of mine told me a story about when he was a kid he was in the
hospital & nearly dying. His Italian grandmother came to the hospital &
told a family member to go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white
cotton socks. She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom
of each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In the morning
when he awoke they removed the
socks. The slices of onion were black & his fever was gone.
The following story that someone sent to me might have some truth
in it & we are going to try it this winter.
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 couldn't 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. !!!!!! !!!!!!!!
I contracted 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, 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. Ed 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.. He says 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 (the author) am
going to be very careful about my 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 onions
and try to use it to 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.
