Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Yes, red onions are known to stimulate appetite, as do all spicy vegetables, including garlic and all members of the onion family and all spices. Generally, they're known to contain excitotoxins, which is why natural hygiene strongly advises against them across the board. They encourage us to overeat and can become carcinogenic if consumed continuously over many years. My grandfather used to tell me long ago that spices in general cause stomach cancer, but I was too young to know what he was talking about or pay attention. It was interesting to hear it from someone with a PhD in Economics who was a Professor Emeritus of Economics, especially since he didn't seem to live according to the knowledge. The demise of my other (paternal) grandfather, who I never met, since he died of stomach cancer when my father was age 7 in 1954, makes this assertion all the more intriguing. He was an immigrant from Rhoumania, much older than my paternal grandmother, and I doubt his diet was anything to celebrate. I've avoided buying any onions or garlic for the past year for the sake of gradually evolving toward a more natural-hygiene oriented approach. Since my 21-day hygienic fast a year ago, I've become far more sensitive to onions, garlic & most spices than I ever was in the past 20 years, which seems to underscore my body's desire to return to its natural regimen as Nature intended for the sake of self-preservation.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hello : Some Asian Indians/Hindus refer to onions, garlic, etc., as " tamasic, " which means that they are considered foods which stimulate and irritate the 3rd chakra (stomache area) and can cause the emotions to become more excitable. Other people believe that onions and garlic can cleanse the system. I think it's one of those things where you have to test and trust your digestive system. I used to love all kinds of onions, I can't eat them anymore...my stomache says it's one of the " no " foods...Blessings, Ashtarra starlightearthchild <starlightearthchild Oct 28, 2005 11:30 AM Red Onions Does anyone know if red onions increase appetite?
