I've just started poking around the literature on kombucha, used by many cultures for various ailments. One person noted that a "scaly skin lump" disappeared after topical application of the culture. Health food stores carry it as a bottled tea. It's possible to culture it at home. I've noticed general beneficial effects from drinking it--relaxation, etc. and 80 or 82% of respondents in a book about it reported improvement or getting rid of constipation, asthma, digestive troubles, and FLU, suggesting to me that there's an immune response involved.
Has anyone else on the Forum tried it, and if so what was your experience?

| Also, there has been testimony about getting rid of internal cancers with it. I gather it has to be taken long-term for cancer-- have read a couple of weeks on, then a week or two off. Haven't come across any particular dosage... Also, for those with candida, kombucha is made with yeast but a split yeast that is said to consume the candida yeasts. It's also made with a lot of sugar but the bottles you buy at a health food store list sugar content as 2 grams. I think the sugar is transformed in the culturing process. Just for the record when I said, "used by many culture for various ailments", I meant different human, not bacterial, cultures around the world! |
