“Honey for sale. Good for allergies.”
NYC rooftop honey
Now, I doubt very seriously if he thought that up on his own. More likely, the honey supplier put a bee in his ear. Well, no matter, the flashing sign put a bee in my ear! I did a quick health inventory right there on the spot and that’s when I made the connection. A half quart of honey later I was feeling better!
Of course, this was no proof. So, I stopped eating it…got worse…and started eating it and got better. That’s where I am as I peck out this article. I confess that more personal research on my part is needed before I put a nail in it, but it is promising!
Information on the World Wide Wait is sparse. Except for one lone scientist at some college or the other who claims that fructose has the same incidence of allergy alleviation as honey most of the rest of the claims are anecdotal. (Is there any test-tee out there who can’t tell the difference between Karo syrup and honey?? Give me a break!) However, chances are good that you know someone who swears by bee pollen. It continues to be a good seller, so there must be something to it.
I’m not alone, however, in postulating that the best help comes from locally grown honey. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that local honey contains the richest source of ingredients for your local allergies. For example, no help may be obtained if you are ingesting honey rich in stinkweed pollen if you have never been exposed to a stinkweed blossoms. All you are likely to get is a honey high and all the other beneficial effects claimed for the tasty elixir.
The accepted theory of allergy immunization is that when you are given minute amounts of what you are allergic to, you build up your natural defenses. This doesn’t make a dab of sense to most people, but it works, never the less. Local honey contains minute amounts of what makes you sniffle, ache, or suffer pollen induced grouchiness.
