BEST FOOD - BEST JUICE - ONION JUICE - BEST COUGH REMEDY - BEST INTESTINE CLEANSER - HELPS IN CONTROLLING DIABETES & URIC ACID

ONE MAJOR BENEFIT OF ONION JUICE IS GETTING RID OF EXTREME COUGH & CONGESTION DUE OLD COUGH...IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET RID OF COUGH SYRUPS TRY THIS.

FOR SMALL CHILDREN MIX 3-4 DROPS OF ONION JUICE WITH PURE BEE HONEY AS COUGH SYRUP.

 THIS I HAVE PERSONALLY USED & GOT RID OF COUGH SYRUPS.

THIS (JUICE OF ONE LARGE ONION JUST ONE ONION PLEASE NOTE) SHOULD BE TAKEN AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES AFTER DINNER & 20 MINUTES AFTER THIS TAKE A GLASS OF LUKE WARM WATER. NOTHING IS TO BE EATEN AFTER THIS, GO TO SLEEP.

ALSO ONION JUICE HELPS IN CLEANING YOUR CHOKED INTESTINES WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO FEELING LIGHT, HIGHER ENERGY LEVELS BECAUSE WHEN YOUR INTESTINES ARE CLEAN FOOD OR FUEL ABSORPTION INCREASES.

ONION JUICE ALSO HELPS TO CONTROL DIABETES & URIC ACID, THIS IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

THIS I CAME TO KNOW FROM A SENIOR DOCTOR WHO ALSO ADVISED NOT SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE FEARING LOSS OF REVENUE, BUT THE BENEFITS ARE SO GREAT I COULD NOT STOP MY SELF SHARING WITH THE WORLD.
