"Then your feet are pollen; your hands are pollen; your body is pollen; your mind is pollen; your voice is pollen. The trail is beautiful. Be still.' " 28 The helpful crone and fairy godmother is a familiar feature of European fairy lore; in Christian saints' legends the role is commonly played by the Virgin. The Virgin by her intercession can win the mercy of the Father. Spider Woman with her web can control the movements of the Sun. The hero who has come under the protection of the Cosmic Mother cannot be harmed." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"CC Pollen If you exercise regularly and intensely, you may require relatively high-carb energy bars. CC pollen makes Almond-Date, Cinnamon-Apple, and Peanut-Raisin Buzz Bars, which are among the best-tasting energy bars sold. The principal sweetener in these bars is honey, and they also contain small amounts of bee pollen harvested in southern Arizona. Many health food stores and Web sites sell Buzz Bars.

"Pollen, Pets, and Pests pollen, animal dander, and insect antigens all create allergies for many people. pollen enters from outside the house, usually through open windows or when you bring in cut flowers. To control the pollen count in your house, keep windows closed in late evening and between 4 A.M. and 10 A.M. spring through fall. This is when pollen activity is the greatest. pollen count is highest in the country. The seashore and high mountains have the least pollen. An allergy to pets can develop at any time, even if the same pet has lived with you for years." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.)

"Some food and pollen combinations are responsible for oral allergy. For example, birch pollens may bring out allergies to almonds, anise, apples, apricots, beans, caraway, carrots, celery, cherries, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, green peppers, hazelnuts, kiwi, lentils, nectarines, parsley, parsnips, peaches, peanuts, pears, plums, potatoes, sunflower seeds, tomatoes and walnuts.

"At certain times when pollen is at its peak, people may develop allergies to foods - particularly fruits, vegetables and nuts. If the food is cooked, it destroys some of the allergy provoking components. Some food and pollen combinations are responsible for oral allergy. For example, birch pollens may bring out allergies to almonds, anise, apples, apricots, beans, caraway, carrots, celery, cherries, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, green peppers, hazelnuts, kiwi, lentils, nectarines, parsley, parsnips, peaches, peanuts, pears, plums, potatoes, sunflower seeds, tomatoes and walnuts." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Ragweed pollen accounts for about 75 percent of the hay fever in the United States. Other significant pollens inducing hay fever include various grass and tree pollens. If the hay fever develops in the spring it is usually due to tree pollens; if it develops in the summer, grass and weed pollens are usually the culprits. Many studies indicate that food allergies play an important role in asthma and hay fever.1 Adverse reactions to food may be immediate or delayed." - Michael T.

"Grass Pollens In 1994, Commission E recommended a preparation for the treatment of BPH whose active ingredient is a complex extract of 92 % rye pollen (Secale cereale), 5 % timothy pollen (Phleum pratense) and 3 % corn pollen (Zea mays). The herbs are extracted with a water and acetone mixture, yielding a product with an herb-to-extract ration of 2.5:1. This extract has been the subject of numerous pharmacologic studies." - volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel, Rational Phytotherapy: A Reference Guide for Physicians and Pharmacists (Get the book.)

"Nearly 75 percent of the hay fever incidences in the United States are a result of ragweed pollen. Other causative factors may include feathers, animal hair, dust and pollen from flowering plants, trees and grasses, and food allergens or sensitivities. Symptoms of hay fever may include sneezing, itchy eyes, headaches, nervous irritability, and a watery discharge from the nose and eyes. The best treatment for allergies is to avoid the offending allergen whenever possible." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"It's your body's overreaction to pollen that brings on the runny eyes, sneezing, and wheezing." To stop this allergic reaction without drugs and uncomfortable side effects, Rajan is feeding people honey. Not just any kind of honey, but honey from local flowers full of local pollen. "Your immune system is trained not to attack anything ingested by mouth," Rajan explains. Eat the pollen-laced honey, he believes, and you tell your immune system this pollen is not bad for you. Then when you breathe in the same type of pollen later, your immune system recognizes and accepts it." - the Editors of FC&A Medical Publishing, Eat and Heal (Foods That Can Prevent or Cure Many Common Ailments) (Get the book.)

"Quick Facts: According to researchers at the Institute of Apiculture^ Taranov, Russia: "Honeybee pollen is the richest source of vitamins found in nature in a single food. Even if bee pollen had none of its other vital ingredients, its content of rutin alone would justify taking at least 1 teaspoon daily for strengthening capillaries. pollen is extremely rich in rutin and may have the highest content of any source, plus it provides a high content of the nucleics RNA \(ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"If you have hay fever, then inhaling certain pollen molecules sets off a chemical chain reaction in your body. You experience the effects of that reaction as a runny nose and watery, itchy eyes. There is nothing inherently wrong with your body chemistry. It is working perfectly, responding to protect your body from the allergen, which it considers to be a foreign substance. What is wrong is the information your body is processing. Your body somehow mistook harmless pollen molecules for harmful invaders, and your immune system mounted a defense." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"The hard, almost indestructible pollen of the plants survived. Under a microscope, pollen can be identified and matched to plant pollen that still exists. What botanists found was pollen from plants that are all used as medicines today. Some of the pollen came from yarrow, a tall plant with feathery fernlike leaves and small white flowers. It is known throughout Europe as a "heal-all" plant and is still used in Iraq as a poultice for healing wounds. The marshmal-low is used as a poultice for bruises and muscle aches, and as a soothing gargle for sore throats." - Peggy Thomas, Medicines From Nature (Get the book.)

"Entomophile—pollen that is gathered by bees, which contains a small amount of Gymnophile (air carried) pollen. Taking Bee pollen by mouth has helped allergy sufferers to develop an immunity from pollen in the air. Caution: when taking pollen for this reason, it is important to start with very tiny amounts.

"Clark handed over the precious artifact and its matrix to a young Cambridge botanist friend, Harry Godwin, one of the first scientists to specialize in fossil pollen analysis. Godwin and his wife Margaret assigned the antler-point peat to what pollen experts called the Boreal phase, when oak forests first spread northward into northern Europe in about 7500 B.C.1 The famous Leman and Ower spear point dramatizes the extraordinary changes in the North Atlantic world over the past fifteen thousand years." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Causes The cause is erroneously said by so-called experts to be pollen. Of course, they mean to say it is caused by a dysfunctional immune system and triggered by the different pollens that are present at different times of year. This means the time that you are affected depends on the pollen to which you are allergic. Other factors which can aggravate the situation are the weather and the air quality. Treatment The traditional drug route of Antihistamines, and even sometimes steroids, is not satisfactory, as it does not deal with the cause, and they all have side effects." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"Other raw plant foods that excite the sex impulse are: avocados, olives, raw organic olive oil, raw dulse (seaweed), pollen (pollen from the male date palm tree is an aphrodisiac for women), onions, garlic and hot peppers (the yogis of India have long-known that spicy foods excite the sexual passions). By eating significantly more of all these foods, males will see a major increase in sperm count and females will experience a greater sex drive. (Eat organic food only. Pesticides, when absorbed into the body, end up in the sexual fluids; they decrease sexual vitality and cause sterility." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"Determine possible allergies to food, pollen, clothing detergent, and semen for recurrent cases. • Determine possible infection with other organisms for recurrent cases. • Increase intake of acidophilus yogurt and/or take supplemental lactobacillus supplements, especially when using antibiotics. • Vaginal estrogen may be necessary to maintain an acidic vaginal environment in postmenopausal women. • In cases of relapse, take boric acid and lactobacillus vaginally for 1 to 2 weeks, plus lactobacillus orally for 2 to 6 months." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"It can be triggered by different kinds of pollen throughout the seasons: tree pollens in spring, grass and weed pollens in summer, and ragweed pollen in the fall. Pets, molds, mildew and fungus, dust, and cigarette smoke are common household allergens that can cause symptoms similar to those of hay fever. Airborne allergies are not only irritating (and occasionally debilitating) but are also a long-term drain to the immune system, because the body is in a constant low-grade state of attack on the allergen (s). This makes the allergic person also more susceptible to infections in general." - Robyn Landis, Herbal Defense (Get the book.)

"Overactive Th-2 immunity results in too many attacks on substances that don't need to be attacked, including pollen, and common foods, such as milk and wheat. The final result, of course, is allergy. Allergy then triggers inflammation, as the body fights to free itself from presumed invaders. When the inflammation strikes the airways, asthma can occur. This imbalance in the immune system, combined with widespread inflammation, is the main reason that there is now an epidemic of asthma and allergies. We are a Th-2 skewed society. It's just one more result of too much toxicity." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Research shows that it's not their fur but their saliva that contains allergens, including pollen picked up outside on their paws. When cats groom themselves, they spread allergens from their saliva onto their fur. So, the cleaner your cat keeps himself, the more you'll need to wash him. Llthough herbalists and doctors won't go so far as to claim that ginkgo tea (from ginkgo bilo-ba leaves) can cure asthma outright, when used regularly it has been shown to help patients cut down on prescribed medication." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)
