Butte La Rose et Les Entourage

Bonjour!
This is a message I found on Facebook to share. My advice is to give it a try. It might sound silly but then we need to do silly things now and then. There are plenty of old remedies that come from as far back as the dinosaur days. Who is to say this does not work if we don’t try. The worst that can happen would be to have smelly feet.
I have read this and I believe it. I’ll try this about raw onions on the bottom of the feet to take away an illness. I’ve done research on the internet about onions and what I found I’ve written that in the early 1900s when it was discovered having raw onions around the house prevented the family from catching flu. Worked for me! Well here is another challenge on onions.
The woman wrote like this:
“So last night Evan (11) was keeping everyone awake with his cough. I got up, went to the kitchen and sliced a purple make-me-cry onion, at 3 a.m. I got some snug socks and put it on the bottom of his feet. To boost my own immunity, I decided to try this too. During the rest of the night, I started feeling good. I mean really good! I felt tingly, like my blood was being cleansed. It was so cool!
“This works in 2 ways. 1.) Onions are known to absorb toxins. In fact, during the days of the Plague in England, folks would keep chopped onions around to absorb toxins and clean the air. This helped protect them, against getting the plague.
“NEVER SAVE AN ONION. It will absorb all the toxins in the air of your refrigerator. Eat that and you eat the toxins. Instead: Chop your leftover onion, put it on a plate and keep it in your kitchen as a natural air purifier. I do this all the time! If someone is ill, place a chopped onion on the night stand, next to the bed. They’ll be better in the morning. I placed the remaining onion, next to Evan last night.
“Onions are toxin absorbers. Thus why they are great internal mops for the body! Eat plenty of onions! 2.) The onion and garlic families are anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. Placing them on the bottom of the foot gives them access to your internal organs through meridians in your body. The onion can be directly delivered. Transdermal delivery (on the skin) is one of the best delivery mechanisms, as it will bypass the stomach acids and go directly into the blood. The bottom of the feet and the forearm are great places to put high powered foods and essential oils into the body. Sliced garlic on the bottom of the feet will work nicely too.’’

I’m passing it on so y’all please let me know what your results are. What can we possibly lose? I will no longer store onions in the fridge! And don’t walk on carpet with raw onions in your socks! Joke!
Sally Angelle wrote a real nice article titled “Henderson levee memories.” Check it out on Teche News and the Breaux Bridge Banner.
Thanks to friends who share their fresh vegetables and figs with those of us who do not have green thumbs or can’t succeed in the garden. About the road work at Lake Fausse Point going south, my information source said the crawfish season is closed for now. No new news on that till then.
Mais ca c’est something.
