Is my KT Culturing a Sore Throat?

[Guest guest]

About a month ago, I got a pretty intense winter cold / sore throat. It took

about a week to pass. Then, two weeks later, I have what feels like the exact

same cold. My fiancee and I see to be perpetually sick lately. In general, we

both take great care of ourselves - mostly vegetarian diet, regular exercise,

all-natural lifestyle.

Is it likely that my KT is harboring " the winter cold " and re-infecting us? Or

are we just experiencing a series of unfortunate events?

Hi,

It is highly doubtful that Kombucha, being acidic as it is and having it's own

defenses, would harbor a cold virus. However toothbrushes, pillows, towels etc.

are quite apt to do that. You might want to replace or sterilize those items

and then see what happens.

You could also be passing it back and forth between you. After an infection we

may be immune for awhile but the length of time varies and then we are

susceptible to it again.

I hope you both feel better soon!

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

I have been learning about how the body detoxes or cleanses. One thing *they*

say happens is you might *re-live* conditions and illnesses you have had in the

past. Something about the body working it's way back through time both

physically and mentally and cleansing the remnants. That can bring up symptoms

you experienced from all kinds of things. So if you suffered from throat

problems, or colds/allergies the KT plus your clean diet, espcially if it is

relatively new, could be bringing those things out in the process of cleansing.

KT is a natural detoxing agent.*Google* cleansing reactions and cleansing

crisis-you will see a lot of really interesting info is available. Personally,

my skin broke out so I backed off a bit on the KT and added more water. My skin

cleared up. Also intestional distress which has plagued me as long as I can

remember, same thing. KT is an interesting tonic! I have noticed anytime I make

changes for better health there seems to be a time where things get worse, but

then get better! *They* say that as you keep getting healthier your body notices

that and knows you can handle more detoxing, and will do a bit at a time until

you are pretty stable.

Cheers!
