I used to have a bad w:birch w:pollen w:allergy that seemed to just get worse as years went by. I did not have that allergy from birth, but it developed at some stage.

The theorem: In the Spring of 2000, I formulated and tested my theorem that by consuming some birch flowerings I can make the allergy go away, by telling it very loudly enough that you do not make any sense.

The method: I was living in Helsinki back then and every day when I passed a birch tree I would grab 2-3 flowering bunches and ate them with plenty of water, for the duration that they were present in the trees.

The taste: Like a carrot where from all sugar, water and orange color had been removed i.e. pretty bad

The end result: I have not had any birch pollen allergy starting from Spring 2001.

Birch trees are of the genus Betula. In Finland there are two primary species of birch w:Betula pubescens (w:fi:hieskoivu) and w:Betula pendula (w:fi:rauduskoivu). w:List of Betula species
