You poor one. My mother also gave me "onion juice" when I got a cold, but there was one big difference: The onions were cooked with tons of rocked candy. I have to admit that it was my favorite medicine.
Maybe you should try that recipe to cure your onion juice trauma ;)
I used to get a lot of sinus infections, to remedy this, I drank for an extended period of my life cooled "onion juice" (onion + water + honey, cooked for ~1h). My whole family was disgusted by it, but I somehow enjoyed it.
