I used to get a cold every few money. If someone near me thought about getting a cold I would catch it from them. Since I added a daily spoon of honey to my diet I have only had one cold in five years. This despite flying all over the world and working long hours on average once every 1-2 months.
Even if this is placebic, for you it works. You've found the magic "pill" so to speak.
Many believe that they have the same relief from high doses of Vitamin C, or from Echinacia, Zinc, and other foods/minerals/herbs.
Honey is a mystery. The FDA may not even allow it to be classified as a "Food" if it were just discovered today, simply because the most they know about it is that it is similar to bee venom in chemical properties. It lasts forever, as Archeologists have found honey in Egyptian tombs, and it was still perfectly fine to ingest.
Perhaps you have stumbled on the cure, well, at least for you.
