Starting situation: 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.

How I cured my birch pollen allergy in 2000

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 Inner East 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. This is called w:allergen immunotherapy, though I cannot know if consuming only pollen will do the trick or is there something else in the flowerings that is needed too for the allergy to call it quits.

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

Contains a side-effect: Occasionally I had perceptions like I was having a slight fever, but the allergy symptoms did not become worse from the consumption of the flowers.

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

  Don't fear the frosty birches, in addition to "allergens" they also contain the cure for the allergy against its pollen when Spring comes
