MissionInvisible User ID: 1800004 United States 01/14/2013 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I may have seen this on another thread, but I have also seen it circulating around Facebook...the benefits of using onions to absorb virus and bacteria around the house. It makes sense to me, I haven't tried it, but maybe some others on here have! Quoting: MissionInvisible There are mixed reviews going around the internet about it...basically cutting up an onion and placing it around the house as the compounds in it attract virus's, after experiments performed, many of the onions had flu virus in them (this is why is not good to cut an onion and eat it days later). May be worth a shot! It don't work...Tried onions in my socks for 2 days...suppose to draw it out but all I have got is burned up feet... ohh... :( sorry! I have not tried it so I was just throwing it out there! I take vitamin D along with using certain essential oils (Thieves oil) to help fight off any colds/virus's I start to come down with! I had not heard of putting them on your feet, just around the house to absorb the airborne bugs :) |

torunafter User ID: 26140139 United States 01/14/2013 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you tried colloidol silver? That stuff kills all sorts of nasties. You should be able to find it at health food store. And If you want to get your mouth really clean, gargle some coconut oil for 20 minutes. Also take at least 10,000 IU of Vitamin D everyday... Vit D might be a big reason why there's less flu in the summer. You'll get over it, you're body is strong by design. |

CrazyMama73 User ID: 32027874 Canada 01/14/2013 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am not sure if you have tried this , but I swear it has helped prevent my family from getting it, as you can use it as a preventative. However once struck with the flu you increase your dosage. Take ELDERBERRY Syrup or tincture. There are over the counter elderberry syrups you can get, mainly health food stores carry them, or if you ever do have dried/fresh elderberries you can make it yourself. It really focuses on clearing up any respiratory issues you may have, it also can naturally reduce fevers and it is an immune booster. I am not promoting any specific Brand of over the counter Elderberry syrup, but a few brands that I have tried, when not able to make my own was "SURO" or "Sambucol". I make my own since it can become rather expensive , but at this state it would pay itself off! Wishing you all the best with a speedy recovery! |

Continue doing this, dipping a new section of the rag in baking soda, and washing the tongue to get rid of all the bacteria that has been sitting on your tongue. Wash the washcloth as soon as you can, don't really want it sitting around. If you don't take care of this one little problem, every time you swallow you are carrying that bacteria into your system. So wash your tongue as often as it takes. Will also kill bacteria on teeth and help make your mouth alkaline. |
