Will the old ways of medicine still work in 2009?

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.
The Doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the Doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).
The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope.
She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion.
It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Do you know how many people will be unemployed in the flu vaccine business, if this gets out, and it worked? Actually, there is lots of sulphur in an onion.
My Dad always sautéed or fried a large frying pan full on onions when he was coming down with a cold, ate them up & went to bed, & he was better the next day!
That is probably why today I cannot stand the smell of fried onions, let alone eat them.
