Re Peter's comments concerning pollen in comb honey, pollen in extracted
honey, and the 'benefits' of pollen for wind borne allergies.
I, for one, am allergic to a wide range of pollens. From May until
November. Not just ragweed.
I had considerably more symptoms before I started regular consumption of
comb honey and raw honey. So did my wife. I have two doctors who buy from
me because of their family's allergies, and both are certain of the benefits
re. reduction of symptoms.
I have also read this is nonsense as the human digestive system cannot break
down the outer coating of the pollen grain (chitin?).
I tell customers that all is know is that regular consumption of small
amounts of local pollen (in honey or otherwise) 'works'. I don't know how
it works, and for all I know it might be a placebo effect. But there is
absolutely no question, in my opinion, that it works. And that is what is
important.
