To relieve hayfever, Dr. Jarvis, in his book "Vermont Folk Medicine", recommends raw, unfiltered, locally-produced wildflower honey. He recommends a tablespoon as a desert after meals. For very bad cases, he recommends chewing honey out of the honeycomb. His theory is plausible, since honey is made from pollen. Conceivably, it could have a vaccine-like effect. I do know it has helped me. I thought it was probably a placebo effect, until I recommended it to a VERY SKEPTICAL friend of mine, who got great relief. Since this remedy is cheap, pleasant and safe, why not try it? I'd like to hear if it works for other people. Frank Silbermann
