Kombucha Beneficial Fungus Fights Cancer

Let's first describe the appearance of a Kombucha Mushroom, also known as the

Manchurian Mushroom. It does not resemble a mushroom, because it is not a

mushroom, but only popularly called one. It actually is a unique beneficial

fungus that has been benefiting man for the last two thousand years.

 

When grown in a glass container it resembles a light brownish pancake floating

on the surface of the tea that it is grown in. Its diameter varies according to

the surface area of the liquid tea upon which it forms and its thickness will

also vary dependent upon the length of time it is left to grow in the tea. It is

usually about 1/8 to ½ inch thick.

 

 

 

 

This very beneficial fungus is composed of a symbiotic partnership of Bacterium

Zylinum and yeast cells of the genus Saccharomyces and other friendly symbitoes.

The " mushroom " is fast growing (7 days) and turns the tea in which it grows into

radical proteins, beneficial enzymes and vitamins that work to quickly clean and

detoxify the blood of those who drink the tea. The tea when properly brewed

becomes a thirst quenching ice cold drink that tastes and bubbles like champagne

when fresh, and tastes and smells like a refreshing apple-wine cider when

refrigerated. It will quickly become a favorite drink. It is DELICIOUS and you

will enjoy it much more than any of the more popular and less healthy drinks

found in one's refrigerator.

 

 

 

 

CONDITIONS HELPED

 

 

Three million users currently enjoy this refreshing tea daily (reported by NBC

Dateline) and thousands of Internet users rave about its health benefits.

 

 

 

 

 

Recent medical news reports support the long held belief that Kombucha Tea may

prevent cancer. There have also been reports that Kombucha Tea has cured cancer

in some patients. Recent medical studies continue to confirm that those who

drink black or green tea show a 60% to 75% decrease in various types of cancer

possible due to the strong antioxidant properties of polyphenols found in tea as

well as weak acids with antioxidant properties. I personally have had

conversations with individuals who credit Kombucha tea for arresting their

cancers.

 

Glucuronic acid is also present in Kombucha Tea, this acid is a metabolite that

is produced by a healthy liver and aids in the detoxification of the body. By

drinking Kombucha Tea daily you will help prevent your body tissues from

absorbing all the toxins and poisons found in our industrial environment that

may be making you ill.

 

Many health benefits that have been reported by others from drinking Kombucha

Tea (see testimonials ), most are likely due to its cleansing, detoxifying and

acidifying effects. The health and healing benefits of this remarkable " living "

tea are varied and may also vary from person to person. The tea has been

reported to help the following conditions:

Above is only a partial list of the benefits reportedly seen from the

consumption of the tea.

 

 

" Romanow, Medical Director of the Center for Sports Medicine of Profsport,

performed studies on athletes that consumed Kombucha under very intensive stress

during their training and competitive cycles. Romanow found that the athletes

who consumed Kombucha had an increase in maximum performance capability, an

increase in cardiac output, improved gastrointestinal function, and an improved

sense of well being. As a result, Romanow stated that Kombucha most probably

serves as a biostimulator with a broad range of activity, able to increase

aerobic capacity and improve metabolic function. "

 

" Kombucha was proven to have anti-microbial activity against a number of

pathogenic organisms. The anti-microbial properties of the ferment were

attributed to the acid content. Therefore, the prevention of pathogenic growth

by the consumption of the fermented tea, Kombucha, may be important in aiding

immunity and illness prevention. This effect could lead to better overall

health. In addition a few clinical trials have shown that Kombucha can reduce

pain, assist sleep, increase aerobic capacity, and improve metabolic function. "
