Two weeks ago, a colleague in my office recently was diagnosed with H1N1, and the scary part was, I had a face to face discussion with him a day before that. Of course common-sense I thought, damn I would be next, the next day I took vaccination that cost me about RM75. A word of advice, if any of you plan to take the vaccination please ensure that it covers both Influenza A and H1N1-like strain. The old version of vaccine only covers Influenza A. Thank God, till now I am still free from it.
Well that is the modern approach of combating the virus, there is always a better and natural alternatives. One of them is the Big Red Onion!

A friend of mine said to try out by putting a couple of red onions in my house ( i.e living room, study room) and in the car. The power of the Onion, it absorbs the viruses and bacterias. There is a short tale about it too. In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people, there is a doctor who visited many farmers to see if he could help them fight the flu. Many farmers and their families have been infected and many died. The doctor was visiting a peasant family, and a surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what makes them different farmer, his wife replied that she had put the red onions that have been peeled in a dish in every room in the house, (maybe only two rooms at the time).
The doctor did not believe it and asked if he could have one of the red onion to see under a microscope. Farmer’s wife gave him one and when he did this, he discovered the flu virus in the red onion. This onion is clear absorb bacteria, therefore, keeping this family stay healthy.
If you search in the internet, you will find many articles related to the benefits of the Red Onions and its cousins! No more complaints of its pungent smell and our watery eyes each time peeling them, the benefits are tremendous!! let's all try it!
