About Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Cancer, Weight Loss, High Blood Pressure: " In September of 1996 I had a growth removed from my lower left side of my back and October 1996 was diagnosed with "Cutaeneous B-cell Lymphoma. Twenty six new tumors grew after the removal of 1 and I received radiation on that spot while being told this is a very rare type of cancer that always returns and grows new tumors. "Usually within 10 years patients lose the battle. "Get your affairs in order and pull out all the stops, try anything, I can't even give you a prognosis" was what I was told.

After 3rd degree burns fon my back from radiation and obesity, hypertension, and other problems I began to use Kombucha tea , the "water cure" and took supplements-including dietary changes. I got tons of energy, lost weight and my blood pressure went down. Within 6 months (March of 1997) there was no sign of any cancer. Even the radiation poisoning cleared up. Now almost 8 years after diagnosis I am still cancer free.

My Kombucha was destroyed during a break in at my home (December 1997) so I stopped brewing my tea. Now overweight again and hypertensive I know I want Kombucha in my life agan and for the rest of my life. Delicious, nutricious, energizing, and in my case-life saving! ... A.J.B."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they know that some fungi are poisonous or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has ever died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over two millennium. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you were to huge amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This limited problem is easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
