I received this from my brother and it sounds interesting. Not sure if it would work but it certainly will not hurt anyone. Here it is:

Subject: wanted to share this with you! take care
A friend of mine told me a story about how when he was a kid he was in the hospital & near 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 this this winter. If we survive, we'll check in in the Spring!
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.
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..
Whatever, what have you to
lose? Just a few bucks on onions! !
Now there is a P. S. to
this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes
material to me on health issues. She replied with this most
interesting experience about onions:
Weldon,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, antiseptic properties.
