Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi Jean. As your body ingests the pollen you develop antigens to the pollens so that when you are exposed you don't have the histamine reaction.

How does local honey help with allergies? I remember hearing this before but dont have info on it. I would love to know?ok thanks . jean>> As we get older, we don't make or absorb Vit. D as well as we once did. I'm taking 50,000 IU's once a week to help with autoimmune disease. When I ran out, my levels dropped like a rock from 66 to 37 in just a couple weeks. Vit. D is supposed to support your immune system without boosting it, which in my case could make me sicker. Before beginning a Vit. D supplement, you should have your Vit. D levels checked. I was at 33, which is barely in the bottom of the chart, when I was taking OTC supplements. Also use Vit. D enriched milk-alternatives, and it wasn't working. The big dose weekly turned me around. I've already noticed fewer sinus infections with my levels in the 60's compared to 33.> > I've used local honey for years, and have nearly lost my allergic response to Orange blossoms.> > CJ> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
