Default Let the ONION change your life

My new motto: Let the ONION change your life.

I accidentally stumbled upon an amazing way to improve my overall health and I think it will work for everyone. I sliced some onion and put it in a bowl. I placed one in the kitchen and one in the living room. I did this initially to absorb household odors. After a week I started to notice a huge change in my overall health. But I didn't know why. After 3 weeks I figured out it was the onion that had changed my life! I have had sleep issues for this entire Century. I have not been able to sleep through the night. I wake up anywhere from 4 - 7 times and all of a sudden I am sleeping solid every night. Sometimes 9 solid hours! At least 6 solid hours on most nights without waking up at all. No more nightmares either, and my body gets tired at a normal hour in the evenings. And I have more energy in the daytime because of the solid sleeping. Also I have been suffering from heartburn for many years and recently it had become a daily issue. Since I started this onion thing I haven't had a single heartburn issue. I recently added a third bowl in my bedroom. After 3 days I cut some fresh slices and it keeps the process going. Just to test my theory, I let the onion dry up for a few days and on those night's I didn't sleep as well. You only need a tiny amount of onion. It could be diced or peeled. Please, I want all of you to try this and let me know how it helps you. If it works for you then you can pass this info on to everyone you know.

Let the onion change your life!!!

I've heard this before. Especially if you're sick, to put a cut onion in your bedroom, and that it somehow absorbs all the germs. I've never tried it, but I've read about it for some time now...

I've known that EATING onions when you're ailing helps quite a bit...but, just leaving a chopped up onion in a bowl in the room is a recent revelation. (My 80+ year old mom, who is getting to be more of a hippie in her aging years that I was as a teenager, passed along an article about the chopped onion thing a couple of months ago) I've been sick for about the last 6 weeks and totally forgot about "the onion trick". Figures, now that I'm about 90% on the mend. Maybe I'll try it tonight and get rid of that 10% that is hanging on.

Thanks, Viv.

PS: when I first saw the title of this thread, I thought you were referring to the satire magazine "The Onion".

Just like Homer says, the onion can cure you of the flu. I haven't had the opportunity to try this because I haven't had the flu recently but in this case you are supposed to cut an onion in half and place half an onion in a bowl right next to your bed. In the morning the onion will have turned black and you will be well again.

I've never heard of the magazine you speak of and no one told me about my onion trick. I discovered it accidentally.
