I, too, have folks who seek out my 'local honey' for its effect on their
allergies. They insist it works. I say never underestimate the effectiveness
of placebos.
 
Along the same lines but different, I have a physician friend (non-customer)
who claims that if he eats honey and exercises shortly thereafter that he
gets winded far more than if he had not eaten honey. I believe he attributes
it to the allergenic effect of the pollen in the honey on his respiratory
system.
