November rolled in and we really did have some nice weather.. 74 is NICE! Three days later it was in the 20's with some winter storm warnings. Talk about shock to the systems. It was like we just were not ready. What happened.. well I went and got a winter haircut and did some shopping out of town. I wore a mask.. no one else did. In the several places I went I was guarded to give people plenty of space. Did that work?
NOPE.. I came home and three days later I was testing for COVID. The first test was negative. I was still leery of it because of my symptoms. I saw on TIK TOK that people were using RED and YELLOW onions as a preventative for virus and infections. I am NOT a onion lover never have been. I don't mind cooking with them but NOT using them raw. So the idea of placing them RAW sliced on a plate in a room where I am really was not that great to me.
I sliced the red one up and used two slices on a plate and put it UNDER my bed. YES I DID. I wanted to see what would happen. Onions are rich in L-tryptophan they help you sleep better and I had heard breathe better too. So I tried it. WHAT did I have to lose? I rarely sleep over 3 hours without waking up. FIVE hours later I woke up.. I was shocked. OH my it was surprising. I went back to sleep after a bathroom break and slept more. I got almost 8 hours of sleep. Something I RARELY get. Besides the smell the sleep was wonderful. It lingered for awhile yes.. but I put the onion away.
There are so many homeopathic things that we are not aware of. Things that in our past that people without any drugs used. I remember my grandmother making syrup with onions and honey. It was for a sore throat. If it worked back then I guess it works now too. So that experiment led me to go to the store and buy more yellow and red onions. RED for sickness and sleep and yellow as a preventative air cleaner and less germs etc. I learned it was worth at least trying to keep me well over the wintertime. There is so much flu and virus going around. With our shots and habits nothing can keep us 100% safe but it's worth trying. The experiment goes on.
I passed my sleep apnea testing. Dr said no need to come back unless there is a problem. Well that was a relief. I know with my lungs having asthma all my life they are not as strong as they were before I had Covid. The next step is to see a pulmonologist and see what shape they are in. It never ends. As we age things break down and need some tweaking I guess. Well that's the update for me.. hope you all are staying healthy and...
