A nice story about a doctor goes online that in 1919, a period in which easy to die even with the simple flu, discovered by chance, and not for personal studies, the beneficial effect of onions on influenza viruses.



This elusive doctor found himself passing through a farmer's house, where, to his great and immense surprise, he found that everyone in the family was very healthy. Since there is always a lot to learn, the doctor asked, but why are you always all right and there is never a disease? The farmer, out of pure courtesy, did not send the doctor to the town but explained the reason for it. Well, here in the family we are all healthy, my wife has simply put an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the house as a shield to influenza viruses.
