I have been using kombucha and kefir for almost a year. I gave my dad some kombucha and he has said he has noticed a difference in his over all well being. There is a ton of information on the net.

 

I am generally healthy so I cannot say I have noticed a marked difference but I can say that I have not had a cold this winter which is a first as long as I can remember. I am 46.

Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following:

1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire.

2. If you are pregnant, consult your physician before using any natural

remedy.

3. The Constitution guarantees you the right to be your own physician

and to

prescribe for your own health.

We are not medical doctors although MDs are welcome to post here as

long as

they behave themselves.

Any opinions put forth by the list members are exactly that, and any

person

following the advice of anyone posting here does so at their own risk.

It is up to you to educate yourself. By accepting advice or products

from list members, you are agreeing to

be fully responsible for your own health, and hold the List Owner and

members free of any liability.

Julie, generally, almost all reports on the internet

regarding kombucha is positive. There are a few who report

acidosis as well as dire warnings of death. Reported by an

Iowa newspaper. That specific incident was investigated by

the FDA and the CDC and found no connection to kombucha.

There is also the FDA warns not to ferment kombucha in lead

vessels. (DUH!!!)

On acidosis, on the face would seem a real threat - except

kombucha tea (pH ~3.0) is actually a alkaline forming food.

According to Department of Food Science Cornell University

The anti-microbial activity observed in kombucha tea (KT) is

significant against the tested gram positive and gram

negative pathogenic organisms.

http://www.happyherbalist.com/analysis_of_kombucha.htm

However there exist the possible of mold growing in the

culture (also reported by the FDA) for pictures of mold

growing in kombucha see

http://www.happyherbalist.com/pictures.htm

 

There are common side affects most often associated with a

healing crisis, which resolve quickly especially with

increasing pure water intake to assist the body in flushing

out the toxins being released.

 

There may be an actual allergic reaction to KT usually for

those that are allergic to vinegar.

 

In my experience kombucha is very safe and works well for

most people. I do not recommend KT for pregnant or nursing

mothers, or for babies under he age of 2.

 

I do not recommend KT for those on coumdan, or blood

thinners, as it appears to increase the effectiveness of

those drugs too much. Although some people have reported no

ill affects from that combination.

 

I urge caution for those that have hypo-tension. As KT -

with average less than 1/2 of 1% alcohol may induce the

feeling of light headiness or a " buzz " as if drinking

alcohol. Some report actually feel faint. This may actually

indicate a pre-existing severe dehydration state.

 

All said and done, KT is a safe powerful healthy drink.

Just my opinion here but I found kombucha to not really do anything

either but then again, most of the herbs I used havent seemed to help in

what they are " claimed " to help in. Makes me a bit sceptical on the

herbal aspect unfortunatley being the believer in nature that I am.

Dear Deana,

 

I have heard this now and again from friends or acquaintances in the past. 1 for 1 they each had a diet that needed serious fixing. A diet insufficient in proper nutrition would also cause all of the effects you mentioned with your kids as well as negate any assimilation you could detect from herbs. You need to have stronger remedies when farther from ideal health. Have you requested Doc's CD yet? It is free you know.

 

Sincerely,

Awesome. So if you want me input on it. Your body needs a full cleansing as well as some good nutrition. Juicing veggies and fruits helps this greatly.
