Here's a novel idea to fight the flu naturally without one stick! As long known, what we eat impacts our good health; using onions and garlic are known to boost our immune system.
CHISINAU, Moldova ?
Moldova's army is feeding its soldiers onions and garlic to help them ward off swine flu.
Defense Ministry chief doctor Col. Sergiu Vasislita says about 0.9 ounces (25 grams) of onions and 0.5 ounces (15 grams) of garlic will be added to each soldier's daily diet. That roughly corresponds to a small onion and a couple of garlic cloves.
Onion and garlic are traditional remedies in Moldova where they are widely believed to boost the immune system.
Vasislita said Thursday that the measure was taken after 24 soldiers fell sick with swine flu in the past two weeks. More than 1,000 Moldovans have swine flu with 90 new cases reported daily.
About 6,500 troops serve in the army of Moldova, a small former Soviet republic bordering Romania and Ukraine.

This is fine, as long as they are not required to continue this onion & garlic diet once they return home.
Yes garlic is one of natures best remedies to cure a cold. I had my sister inlaw eat a piece of a clove of garlic when she was feel bad from a col and she told me that after she did it she felt so much better after a day. It really works!

Garlic and onions are excellent for fighting nasty germs! So glad to hear this!
I eat raw garlic on bread or toss some in a serving of salad to have something to go with it. It’s very good.
