Real Natural Remedy for Allergies

If you have allergies, I feel for you!  My allergies get really bad in the springtime, usually second week of May.  Some people get them bad right around this time before it gets cold.  I have tried everything over the counter for allergies, and for some reason, NOTHING works.  I have tried Claritin, Sudafed, Nasal Sprays, done an allergy test at the doctor, etc.  The drugs usually get me dried up, don't feel great, maybe it stops the symptoms for about 1 hour, but then after that, the dripping begins again.

I don't just have sniffles and I can pat it down with tissue paper.  I drip like a faucet!  I have itchy eyes and pretty much am useless to do anything since I have to constantly attend to my symptoms.  I have been looking for a natural solution, and think I have now found it.

To fight allergies, eat LOCALLY grown honey.  The key is locally grown to where you live.  The bees will gather the pollen from your surrounding plants into the honey, and bits of pollen act like a natural drug - helping your body build up an immunity to the flower and tree pollen in your local area.  I just discovered this amazing concept for fighting allergies, and it has some amazing affects!

What was a complete surprise in honey adventure is just HOW GOOD real, local honey tastes!!  My first spoonful instantly brought me back to 5th grade...  The taste of the honey was like the honey we used to buy at the grocery store growing up.  My mom would put this honey on grapefruit halves.  Extremely fragrant, extremely smooth.

This honey comes from Naperville, Illinois, and is completely locally harvested from fields in Naperville/Aurora.  I know the main beekeeper so I know that this honey is for sure, local and the real deal.

OMG GMOs!

Just came across this video: Pando House Rock: OMG GMOs!  It's kind of a cute way to share the story on why GMOs were started by big food corporations, but ultimately, GMO crops can't be the solution to solving world hunger.  The nutritional value of GMO crops are just not proven and the results so far as we look across the USA, Americans have access to so much food, yet they are starving for the nutritional value that they need, and obesity is the result from what I am calling the 'GMO starvation'.

This summer, we did a little experiment, and the results were scary.  We tried growing crops by a field that was sprayed with pesticides for the corn on the field.  I have walked through this corn field, and nothing grows on the field except for this pesticide resistant GMO crop.  Not even one tuff of grass - just dirt and corn (the pesticides kill everything else).  We planted some of our precious non-GMO squash seeds a few feet away from the field.  The squash plants started to grow in early summer, but right after the fields got the pesticide, all the squash plants started to grow stunted, none flowered, and none developed fruit.  The squash plant looked like it was dieing from non-natural causes (it didn't look like it was dried out by no water or yellow from no sun).  It looked mutated and stunted.  If this is what pesticides are doing to real, natural plants, then my question is, what is it doing to our bodies??!!  And, think about the GMO crop that seems to thrive with the pesticides, what is it really?!  I can't believe this is what food corporations are calling food.

It's this kind of stuff that gets me riled up.
