The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.... Throughout history, "tender loving care" has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing. ~Larry Dossey

Question of the day; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and brewing it, for thousands of years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of popular stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Energy, PMS, Multiple Sclerosis: "I went to buy some kefir grains.. and found this kombucha there. I had never heard of it, and after doing some research on the internet I decided to try it. Well. I made the first batch and poured me a 4 oz. glass and started to drink it. I did that for 3 days and than I got soooo tired. I could barely keep my eyeballs open. On the fourth day I had more energy than ever. I had been having a terrible time with my monthly period and thought I was starting to transition into pre menopause. I was bleeding 14 days out of 28 and felt horrible before and during. I had back aches, cramps and 2 kinds of horrible stool, one coming in and one going out. It was so bad. I was suffering basically 3 to 3 1/2 weeks out of 4 with it. I wanted to keep my periods because as long as you can keep them going, you can take in calcium, the minute they stop, your bones are in trouble. Anyways. I was so happy with the energy I had gotten from the kombucha and never even thought about my period. On the 28th day on the dot, I started. Not a single pms symptom! No bloating, no loose stool no tar stool no cramps no back ache no irritability, no crying jag. It just started and I was back to my old self. I was heavy the first day, dwindled down the second and stopped on third day. As far as stool can look good.. mine does. I could NOT BE MORE EXCITED about this Kombucha. The mistake I WON"T make is to stop drinking it because I feel good. I intend to make this the rest of my life!

My son was diagnosed with MS. He started having muscle spasticity... 2 days into drinking it, his legs started to feel better.. 4 days later, his sensations came back in his already damaged hands and his legs were back to 100%. His psoriasis disappeared, his skin looked beautiful. He is also a believer in Kombucha now too. This stuff is literally a miracle!... P.M.E."

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 poisonous. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

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

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

Nobody has died from drinking properly made 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 beverage 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 wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

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