Blah, blah.... here is the take away, go to a local farm market and buy "local" honey. Make sure it came from your area and not far away. The bees made the honey from the very same stuff you are allergic too and that is important. No sense getting honey made from pollen 100 miles away, because you might be allergic to that pollen, or it might not help cure you.
Now, take the honey and eat or drink (diluted in tea, coffee, hot water, etc) a tablespoon full 4 times a day. After about 2 weeks, you will notice a significant improvement. After a month, you might be cured of allergies. The idea here is to consume in small doses (think along the lines of a smallpox shot) the very thing you are allergic too and your body learns how to handle the pollen without producing something to fight against it.
I did that over 16 years ago and still remain allergy free. Once in a great while, my eyes might burn a little, but then I hit the honey for a few days and it doesn't come back.
Get a good sized jar of honey (about $25), it's cheaper than medication and far healthier for you.

This results in deeper sleep and better recovery, and it eliminates waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom...

im also using the honey mixed with milk and yogurt as a post training Carb/Protein recovery shake..
