Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Debbie, I had never heard this- I’ll have to read more on it. I drive about an hour southwest to an apiary for honey. -----Original Message----- From: Deborah M Emholtz Hello, I had heard many years ago regarding honey that for it to be of the best benefit for us, we need to get our honey within a certain mile radius of where we live.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Very good point, Debbie. I thought of something like that but didn't get it into words so elloquently! Supposedly San Texas is the worst place on earth to live if one has allergies and if one is lucky enough not to have them, just wait, they're comin'! I can attest to that, but since I have erradicated sugar from my household and started raw milk I have been cured! Seriously cured! Nonetheless, I would still ike some fresh raw honey.......Does anyone know of a honey source in my area? thanks. ~wren > > Hello, > I had heard many years ago regarding honey that for it to be of the best > benefit for us, we need to get our honey within a certain mile radius of > where we live.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Yes, I have heard this a lot. The reason for it is that honey from local sources contains local pollen, which you are ingesting if you ingest local honey. This exposes you to the pollens (just like allergy shots) and helps you build immunities to them.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Next time I go to the apiary I’ll pick up some pollen. I would think that where I go is local enough. Last time there I bought 10# of honey in the jar and 6 honey combs so I won’t need to go for awhile unless I do some baking with it J -----Original Message----- From: Dady · Yes, I have heard this a lot.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 That's always been my understanding, and have heard from an allergist whom confirmed this.
