I tried honey for reducing my allergy symptoms, but it didn't seem to have much effect either way.

Honey contains a significant amount of protein, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium and dietary fiber. It does also contain trace amounts of many vitamins but it's not a significant source. I'm not sure how long you could survive off honey but the basic human needs (protein for muscles, carbohydrates for energy and sodium for many things) are met. http://www44.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=honey

I know that the spartans used to make their youth live on honey exclusively for a month as a part of agoge training.

By my math, taking into consideration 8 hours for sleep, 700 oz a day comes down to .6481 oz per minute, or 38.8889 oz per hour. As stated prior that honey contains little water, if this honey is taken with water, I don't see it being that far fetched to consume that much honey a day if that's all you have to subsist on. The more likely restriction is having that much honey available to you for any prolonged period of time. Just playing devil's advocate.

By the way, according to Wikipedia's info, in order to get the 60g of protein a human male needs per day you would have to eat 5.46 GALLONS of honey PER DAY.
(60g protein divded by 0.3g protein = 200 x 3.5oz (0.3g protein per 3.5oz honey) = 700oz divided by 128oz per gallon = 5.46 GALLONS.
I'd like to see you try to consume that much honey in one day.

when pt. are admitted to the hospital and can't eat for some reason we pump liquid sugar (dextrose) in to their veins. people can last on dextrose for a long time…they get skinny as hell but they are alive…I'de imagine its the same for huoney taken p.o.(eaten).

I recently moved to a new area and as soon as grass season hit I had terrible allergies which I'd never experienced in my native area. I took a friends advice to try local honey with much success. My sinus pain went down almost immediately. The trick is not to take too much because you're essentially giving yourself small doses of what it is that you're allergic to. Just like a vaccine.
