Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanx Bev, It was organic, Starwest Botanicals. IÂ sometimes look at illness as an elimination, but I guess it was a high dose & maybe my liver thru out alot of junk at once.It was going away & I drank some new KT & it started up again.This is going to bum me out if I have become allergic !!! It is strangely located all around my right breast, like poison ivy. Subject: Re: Itchy in Cleveland To: original_kombucha Date: Friday, February 18, 2011, 8:22 PM Â Hi Margaret, I've read most of the posts to this list almost every day since 1995 and have never heard anyone describe such a reaction. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, just I don't remember seeing it. Some people have described itching but not so extensive an area. Could it be Shingles? Was the Licorice Certified Organic, if not, it could have had any number of toxic chemicals in or on it. Have you used licorice before? could you be allergic to it? In general licorice is dosed in small amounts for a short period of time. Could have just been too much all at once. Kombucha will extract a lot from whatever you put in it, several roots stalks of licorice is a large amount, perhaps too much? Glad to hear whatever it was is getting better. Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev > > > > > > 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! > > > > . > > > > To: original_kombucha > > From: cosmoandotis@ > > Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 06:45:31 +0000 > > Subject: What has Kombucha done for you lately? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > " Hear Ye Hear Ye!

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!!
