I don't know about the farmer's story, but I do know that I contracted pneumonia and, needless to say, I was very ill. I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion, put one end on a fork and then place the forked end 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.
Thanks for this article. It brought back memories of when my oldest son used to get colds all the time when he was little. This lady told me to cut an onion and rub it on his chest. The onion turned very black and my son soon felt better.
A friend of mine told me a story about how when he was a kid he was in the hospital & near dying. His Italian grandmother came to the hospital & told a family member to go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white cotton socks. She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom of each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In the morning when he awoke they removed the socks. The slices of onion were black & his fever was gone.
If someone I just met wanted me to give up my dog whom I've had for almost 12 years, who's been with me 24/7 by my side, it would just be wrong. I could not do that to her. My dog goes into deep depression if I am gone. She wouldn't make it with out me.
Now the cat, that's a different story. It lives outside. I would give it away in a heartbeat. It's all black and a sweet cat. The cat and I do not have a bond like me and the dog. I have only had the cat for just over a year and it's always outside.
To give away the dog would be like giving away one of my kids.
Thanks for understanding. I've got to get to sleep now.
It is not a concept of the dog being more important than a human. Humans are more important than animals.
The concept here is that I am content here with just me and my dog. I am not co-dependant. I do not need to have another person here to make me who I am. I am comfortable being alone with the dog for company.
I have not been on a date in over 9 years. I am content. My dog is here so that I am not lonely. We share lots of things together. She is fun and she never complains. I don't have to pick up after her or do her laundry. She doesn't argue with me or treat me badly. She prays!
Sure, I would like a companion to do things with, share life's opportunities with, but with my OCD, he can't come strolling in here and mess up my world. Perhaps I am difficult? Perhaps there is no match for me? I won't settle for just any man. He's a rare breed and hard to find.
I've been around enough to know what I don't want. If I must live out the rest of my days without humans, I shall. I am extremely picky, you must understand. My dog can deal with me. You may not be able to.
You are killing me here! I can't see thru the tears from laughing so hard!!!
I can not remember the last time I have laughed so uncontrolably hard. I've lost it!!!
Hang on, let me regain my composure.
Well, I married a man once who had a bible in his truck, so what the heck The cat's not a problem at all. I love cats! My dog loves cats. I have a cat too.
I guess that it would be like Our house, is a very very very fine house, with 2 cats in the yard. Life used to be so hard. Now everything is easy cos of you. I'll light the fire while you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today...
I refused to take a job if my dog could not come. The dog has been around much longer. The dog is faithful. The dog does not give me a hard time or backtalk.
I do not have a lover. If one came along, he and the dog would have to get along or the man goes. It's just that simple. I would not get deep into a relationship with a man who could not be around my dog, so we won't have this problem.
I have had my little dog for almost 12 years. She was in the passenger seat truckin with me for 11 of those years. We have a bond. If I leave the house, she will not eat or drink until I return. She is the best dog in the whole wide world and I tell her that every day. I love her and she loves me. If I cry tears, she licks them from my cheeks.
Sorry, I will never give up my dog for a man, even a good man.
Gary, where on earth do you come up with this threat????
How in the world could this story suggest that Russian people are stupid????
The mayor is really doing this. They really are controlling the weather!!
It's BRILLIANT!!!
I have just never heard of this being done before. Never gave it any thought, really.
When I was a kid, in Florida, airplanes used to drop dry ice into the clouds to make it rain on the everglades, when they were on fire.
I'm a little confused about spraying dry ice to prevent the snow, mentioned in this article. How can you use it to make it rain and to make it not snow? Does anyone know?
You have not been insulted here so knock it off. Also, I commend you for the nice behavior you have exhibited since the name change.
Hi there lovely! We have never met. They call me HL Thank you for posting!
Yes, I agree, the love of money has ruined our Doctors. It wasn't so very long ago our Doctors made house calls and they didn't mind if they did not get paid. They did it cos they cared about people and they valued life.
Recently I posted a link in one of my threads, to a video on Psychotic drugs and the racket the Doctors, FDA and Pharmaceutical companies have going on. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend watching when you have the time.
Ah, you've noticed that too! I have seen commercials where they list the side-effects for the advertised drug and they are worse than what you would be treated for. I think to myself... Who would want to take it???
Who cares if the pharmaceutical companies have to provide a list of the Doctors who promote their products?
Fact is, they've got a racket going on. If you've ever wondered why your drugs cost so much that you have to have insurance to afford them, this is why. $3.7 Million!!! They could have gave out meds for FREE and saved money!
And now our government will force we the people to keep them in business, giving them more customers, guaranteed!
These Doctors made more money during the summer months, advertising, than many of you make all year! They are drug dealers!!!
They are murderers! Turning humans into Toxic waste dumps by filling them full of these Hazardous Materials.
And they think that what they are doing is "just fine".
Merk paid $3.7 million to more than 1,000 health professionals this summer
updated 2:24 p.m. CT, Mon., Oct . 19, 2009 TRENTON, N.J. - Merck & Co. paid doctors and nurses a total of $3.7 million this summer to give talks to colleagues about the drugmaker's products and other health topics, Merck disclosed Monday.
Amid growing criticism of industry influence over which treatments doctors choose for their patients, the company posted a database on its Web site listing speaking fees paid to 1,078 doctors, researchers, nurses and other health professionals. It covers July through September, and Merck — the second major drugmaker to disclose payments to doctors — plans to update it regularly.
"There's been a tremendous amount of misunderstanding" about the relationship between industry and doctors, said Dr. Richard Pasternak, Merck's head of scientific affairs. "This shines a light on it."
The 1,078 speakers gave a total of 2,493 talks and were paid $1,548 on average. The top earner got $22,693, and dozens of doctors received more than $10,000.
"We think what we're doing is just fine," Pasternak told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview.
'A step in the right direction' Califf said disclosing payments to physicians is "a step in the right direction," but that medical schools and professional medical societies should take a bigger role in teaching doctors about new products.
Dr. Steven Nissen, head of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic and an industry critic, said disclosures aren't enough.
"They don't pay this kind of money unless they're getting marketing out of it," he said, adding that paid speakers "become an employee and an agent of the pharmaceutical industry."
Paul wrote this in his early relationship with God. He was going thru the period of tug-a-war, putting death to the flesh and its desire, becoming a more spiritual being.
There does come a time, if you seek God with all of your heart, that you do overcome this struggle. You become one with God. You know the thoughts, plans and purposes of His heart, as he shares them with you as you meet with Him in the secret place. You are now intimate with Him and are a mature spiritual being.
When this level is achieved, you realize that there is no right or wrong. Only circumstances which give you choices, which determine the outcome of that specific situation. If you turn to Him for direction in every situation and circumstance, He will lead you. Sometimes, we are allowed to make a decision which others may believe is "wrong", but in fact, we must be led down that path, as an experience that we may trust Him to carry us thru it, that we may be overcomers and walk in Victory.
If we were "perfect" all of the time and never made "mistakes", we would not grow spiritually.
Therefore, there is no right or wrong, only paths to teach us.
Don’t obsess over right and wrong decisions. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.
If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another. This isn’t a correct assumption because the universe is flexible- it adapts to every decision you make. Right and wrong are only mental constructs.
Go beyond risks. You can go beyond risks by knowing that there is infinite intelligence at work in the hidden dimension of your life. At the level of this intelligence your choices are always supported. The point of looking at risks would be to see if your course of action is reasonable. People who can assess their choices at the deeper level of awareness are aligning themselves with infinite intelligence, and thus they have a greater chance for success than does someone who crunches the numbers.
It is hard to let go when you don’t know if you have made the right choice in the first place. Doubt lingers and ties us to the past. It is important not to make critical decisions when you are in doubt.
The universe supports actions once they are begun, which is the same as saying that once you take a direction, you are setting a mechanism in motion that is very hard to reverse. When you are in doubt, however, you put the universe on hold for a while. It favors no particular direction.
Keep in mind that you are the choice-maker, which means that who you are is far more than any single choice you have ever made or ever will make.

I eat mostly fruits and veggies, organic, locally grown.
I juice a lot.
I also eat lots of fiber to keep things flowing smoothly thru the intestinal trac. When we eat, our digested foods pass thru here and nutrients are absorbed thru the intestinal wall into the passing blood cells. Clogs cause major problems! Good sources of fiber are whole grains found in breads, nuts, beans and fruits.
I read labels! Those preservatives are deadly toxins!!! Do not purchase items that contain them.
I eat at home most of the time, preparing my own food. Restaurant foods are loaded with harmful chemicals and will gladly supply you with extra MSG!
I take supplements. Soil today has lost much of it's nutritional source. Even veggies from the garden are not nearly as nutritious as in years gone by.
DETOX! DETOX! DETOX! It is imperative that we cleans harmful toxins from our bodies! There are many ways to do this. Steam baths, Hot showers, Drink LOTS of uncontaminated WATER! I get mine from a nearby spring. Water will flush toxins from your body and provide minerals to feed and maintain healthy blood cells. Drink lemon water.
Just as preventative maintenance keeps machinery running smooth and functional, we should do the same for our bodies.
The air we breathe is full of toxins, so detox regularly.
Also... AVOID PRESCRIPTION DRUGS!!! They are CHEMICALS! DO NOT put Chemicals into an Organic Body!!!
Ladies, this includes Beauty Aids, make up, soaps and lotions, shampoos, etc. Read labels!
Read and Learn! Do searches on the Net to gain knowledge and know what is safe and what is TOXIC!
