hello, just wanted to share what i have read a weeks ago that onion is good for the health, chop it and put in a glass,put in your bedroom, living room or any place you wanted. it prevents spreading of virus of influenza or sickness. I'm not really good of explaining but i tried this and i think it is effective. about cactus to prevent much radiation put that living cactus near your computer. hope it will help .. thank you.

I have never heard this, I tend to go on spurts with eating onion. I love frying it up with spinach, and other veggies. I have never tried cactus before though.

You do not need to chop the onion, just cut it in 2 pieces and place a part next to your bed. I doubt it will prevent to spread the virus. As I understand it will keep your nose open. Btw onions, garlic are very healthy and also clean your blood, are good for the heart and help you to loose fat. Enough rest and drinking will cure any influenza.

I Don't know what scientific explanation this have , though it is like a myth but many are practicing it , some even used onion as medicine to fever. They do it by cutting the peeled onion into halves then placing one part inside the socks believing that it can take out fever the following day. I haven't tried it also , i don't know if its true or not but surely i will give this a try ! I guess the most important and truest practice to prevent spread of viruses and bacteria is to practice aseptic technique at home . Which means , every now you must wash your hands , soap it When coughing one must cover her nose , Clean and disinfect the house . Good hygiene must be practiced. Increase intake of fruits and vegetables . If you have all these , guess no need to believe in the hearsays .

I have heard this about an onion, and know people that actually swear by it. Many times I sometimes thing even though the smell is strong we need something like this where I work. It might help with some of the illness and Bad strong odors that are lingering around there. Wouldn't hurt since everyone is always sick for some reason.
