Buy and use the strongest, most pungent, organic onions grown, and as close to where you live as possible. Our bodies acclimate to our environments and the highest medicinal benefit comes from natural products, grown, raised or produced in your local area. Thus, local natural or organic honey, onions, even meat, are best for our health.

 Take a medium size pungent onion and extract its juice and drink it first thing in the morning. One medium size onion is normally sufficient to fill a Turkish tea glass or shot glass. It is normal to burn a little when going down and it will also tend to upset your stomach for several minutes. The worse your reaction, the more you need the treatment - so be strong in your conviction to continue. 

If you find it impossible to keep the onion juice down try placing a small amount of natural unprocessed honey in a shot glass of warm water. Drink half before taking the onion juice and half after. This should ease the difficulty and help keep the onion juice down. If at all possible do not resort to this method -- Drink it straight.

If that does not work, try mixing fresh organic apple juice with the onion juice. You will still need to drink the same volume of onion juice but a fifty fifty mixture of apple juice really helps it go down easy. There are no studies indicating that straight onion juice is better than mixing it with honey or apple juice, but logic would dictate that the more concentrated the juice, the better the treatment. Many people will not be able to handle straight onion juice, so these alternatives are offered to help you get the benefits without as much suffering.
