What has Kombucha done for you lately?

[Guest guest]

" Hear Ye Hear Ye! " I am proposing a tell all and issuing the *challenge* to all

members that would like to share what benefits they reap from the drinking, the

process and the sharing of this wonderful elixer!

I will start this off with my most outstanding acheivement so far IMHO!!.

I have been able to stop drinking alcohol. Yeah!

I realized I had an issue with alcohol some time ago and had stopped drinking

several times only to begin again in social situations which would always grow

to drinking daily again in no time flat.

I just could not stay sober and I really wanted to.

While still drinking alcohol, I started brewing kombucha.

I really liked it but could not afford to buy it.

I had no thought of it helping me get sober or helping me to remain sober, I

just enjoyed it!

After brewing for a while I decided to stop drinking again.

I realized after some time I did not desire or crave alcohol anymore. I asked

myself what I was doing differently.

I was drinking KT daily!

For me, sobriety is nothing short of a miracle! I started drinking at age 13 and

am now 46. I did not drink in excess this entire time, but as of late it had

become the norm. I did not like myself, the things I did and said. I felt

terrible all the time, and looked worse!!

I became sober and have stayed sober and I credit this success to kombucha as it

is the only thing I did differently from the times before.

I take bottles with me everywhere! When I am in a social situations, peoples

homes and even to restaurants so I don't feel empty handed. It is fizzy and

wonderful and so far no one has minded my bringing my own beverage, even to bars

when I go with my hubbie and friends. I drink it at home much the same way I

used to drink beer. I used to reach for a beer if I was stressed, now I pop the

top on a refreshing invigorating fizzy beverage and don't have to feel guilty!!

I have even successfully brewed a decaf so I can drink it in the evenings

without sleeplessness.

I love having this group of friends with everyone sharing and helping and

generally being awesome!! Thanks to all!!

So " Tag, Your it! " What has KT done for you lately?

Cheers!

when in vacation in Acapulco almost 20 years ago I poison myself with food ,

it was very bad. I was loosing conciousness many times. When I came back home, I

went to different hospitals, saw many doctors, they coudn't find anything and

the symptoms lasted for almost a year , I read many books on diseases and I

tried many thing, nothing did until I heard about kombucha in a local natural

health journal. The symptoms stoped in two days!

I " had " a really BAD, arthritic or gouty big toe... it was VERY painful.. hurt

to walk.. to touch it with a sheet.. NOW It barely hurts! I can walk with out

pain! I had noticed that it was barely hurting anymore.. I don't have health

insurance & had gone to my doc to see if I could get something for the

inflammation. I did get a prescription but it made my stomach bleed & had to

get off the meds. Anyway I noticed it wasnt hurting as much or hardly at all &

the only thing that I had done differently was to drink kombucha & kefir! I

love my kombucha! People at work think I am CRAZY LOL with all my fermenting &

experimenting! I LOVE IT!

I started drinking kombucha knowing nothing about it except that it is a tonic.

I loved the taste and was drinking eight ounces a day of store-bought (and going

broke at $4.00 per bottle) when I realized after about a week that I was getting

the best nights' sleep I'd had in years, maybe in my whole life.

To stay afloat financially, I started brewing my own, with the result that I was

drinking more per day. After awhile, I noticed that the frequent stomachaches

I'd had for years were gone, that my outlook on life was brighter (probably due

to lack of candidiasis), and that I was able to eat small amounts of foods I had

been intolerant of, like dairy, nuts and (most importantly!) chocolate, without

ill effects.

In a discovery similar to yours, , I noticed that I didn't need coffee

anymore. I didn't crave it, and I didn't 'need' it to wake up in the morning.

The benefit which took me most by surprise, however, was an increase in my

libido. I won't go into the details, but suffice it to say that my husband was

thrilled. I told him it was the result of drinking kombucha, and now he is a

loyal supporter of the brew.

Thank you, Kombucha!

I started drinking kombucha knowing nothing about it except that it is a tonic.

I loved the taste and was drinking eight ounces a day of store-bought (and going

broke at $4.00 per bottle) when I realized after about a week that I was getting

the best nights' sleep I'd had in years, maybe in my whole life.

To stay afloat financially, I started brewing my own, with the result that I was

drinking more per day. After awhile, I noticed that the frequent stomachaches

I'd had for years were gone, that my outlook on life was brighter (probably due

to lack of candidiasis), and that I was able to eat small amounts of foods I had

been intolerant of, like dairy, nuts and (most importantly!) chocolate, without

ill effects.

In a discovery similar to yours, , I noticed that I didn't need coffee

anymore. I didn't crave it, and I didn't 'need' it to wake up in the morning.

The benefit which took me most by surprise, however, was an increase in my

libido. I won't go into the details, but suffice it to say that my husband was

thrilled. I told him it was the result of drinking kombucha, and now he is a

loyal supporter of the brew.

Thank you, Kombucha!

Personally I started drinking it because I had two gout attacks and after

taking 2000mg of ibuprofen every 8 hrs, over a weekend, just to kill the

pain I decided I needed something to strengthen my kidneys so they would

filter the uric acid and undo any damage I might have caused by taking so

much ibuprofen.

I started slowly on home brewed KT drinking about 12 oz per day but quickly

ramped up to 3-4 times that amount. After about a week of the higher amounts

I could feel the gout being pulled out of the big toe I had the attacks in,

but then I could feel, to a lesser degree my other big toe being cleaned as

well. I have never since that time had another gout again. I actually

stopped drinking it for a while out of shear laziness but have recently

dipped into my bottled reserve. It is a fine beverage for sure with great

health benefits.

fizzy and wonderful and so far no one has minded my bringing my own

beverage, even to bars when I go with my hubbie and friends. I drink it at

home much the same way I used to drink beer. I used to reach for a beer if I

was stressed, now I pop the top on a refreshing invigorating fizzy beverage

and don't have to feel guilty!! I have even successfully brewed a decaf so I

can drink it in the evenings without sleeplessness.
