Thanks for this, Steve! How interesting! Will have to pass this on to my son, 
Mike, as he is asthmatic! not much triggers him to have problems, pet dander, 
allergens, etc. this, as well as garlic, might really kick in and help! good 
article!

  Onions

  Studies have shown that, like garlic, onions and onion extracts decrease 
blood lipid 
  levels, prevent clot formation, and lower blood pressure.  Studies have also 
revealed that 
  onions have a significant effect in lowering blood sugar levels.  Throughout 
history,  
  onions have also been used to treat asthma.  Their action in asthma is mostly 
due to their 
  ability to inhibit the production of compounds that cause the bronchial 
muscle to spasm, 
  which then causes the muscle to relax.

   Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
