Who here takes bee pollen?
I keep hearing people talk about the health benefits of taking local bee pollen. I have known eating local honey helps with allergies. Anybody know anything about this?

2. Well, the jury is out on the allergy benefits.
But bee pollen tastes good, generally, and has all sorts of good amino acids.

Don't look at it as a cure, but as just another food.

7. yeah, didn't work for me, but oregano oil does (in gelcaps, the liquid
is much too strong, trust me!)

3. I take Royal Jelly
and some promising news for those who take bee products, including honey: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4063377.stm

Honey and royal jelly could become part of the arsenal of weapons against cancer, researchers say.

6. oh lord not for 30 years
It certainly didn't help my allergies as advertised. At best, it did nothing and cost a ton to do it.

Some people have pollen allergies so for them it would be a terrible idea.
