I DIDN'T KNOW THIS. DID YOU?
Could be something to this !!
ONIONS ~ MAYONNAISE
PLEASE READ TOTHE END: IMPORTANT
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.. Try it and see what happens. We did it
last year and we never got the flu.
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:
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 it 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.
Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at
preventing us from getting colds and flu's and is the very reason we shouldn't
eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.
LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS
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
quintessential 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.
Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.
Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion 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.
Please pass this on to all you love and care.
