May I point out that opium is a very natural product that could cause
you to stop noticing allergies for a while.
My crazy health food Nazi SiL claims that mega doses of vitamin C can
cure allergies.
She is under the impression that all natural products are automatically
good for you. Years ago she was pushing Celestial Seasonings teas. I
dared to suggest that you don't know what is in those herbal teas and
they might actually be toxins. She rejected that possibility, but a
just a few weeks later there was a news story about a woman who was
hospitalized after ODing on atropine. Seems that the compound was in one
of the mysterious herbs and flowers in the tea. Thinking that it is all
organize and therefore good for you, she was drinking 20-30 cups a day.
There are a lot of natural and organic compounds that are deadly.

I don't know about Vitamin C. When I moved to where I now live (upper Midwest) I suffered from allergies big time. First summer here was heck. I love this area, though, and a farmer told me to chew a little fresh honeycomb, 3/4-1inch square every day. Went through three honeycombs and quit. I never even really noticed that I was no longer tearing up and sneezing. It worked, though. No attacks.
I sure don't know the science; but I buy one honey comb per year, consume it over two or three weeks, and I have yet to have an attack again.
Gotta be local honey, though, because that contains the allergens in the area. Kind of a crude vaccination of sorts. I dunno, just know it worked well for me.
