Re: benefits of kombucha vs kefir

July 6, 2011

Hi Sassy artist!

I personally make and consume three litres of Kombucha, a month and six litres

of water kefir, a week. They have both helped me a lot. Kombucha is the heavy

artillery, whereas, water kefir forms the supporting forces. I usually pour in a

glass of water mostly water kefir with a slight percentage of kombucha; so I

consume them mixed. Either one has properties the other one does not. Water

Kefir has many useful microbes to offer as an addition to Kombucha's astounding

powerful acids!

Be well

I gave some milk kefir grains to the lady who gave me a scoby and she said that

she could see the health benefits in consuming the kefir within a month...so

there is one testimony.

I read an article stating that milk kefir is healthier than yogurt because it

contained the right kinds of lactic acids and something about that holding the

key to life. It was a highly technical article and a bit over my head but after

reading it I walked away from yogurt forever. Now all I drink / eat is kefir

instead of yogurt and milk.

> I have been doing kombucha for a few years (very successfully, thanks to many

of you helping me through my early days!) and am interested in starting kefir

now. What are the differences in benefits? Or should I just stick to my K-tea

and not worry about kefir? Kombucha literally changed my life, as I had been in

chronic pain for 8 years before I started drinking it. Within 2 weeks the pain

was less and in less than 2 months I was pain-free. So I will NEVER switch.

Just wondering if supplementing with kefir will give added benefits.

as I understand the milk kefir may not multiply in the other 'milk' products.

I have an update t to add to this for today. I have to start first by saying

that I have known the benefits of occasionally taking coconut oil on an empty

stomach in the morning. This would always produce strong die-off pain which

meant it was effective to pass parasites and pathogens within a few minutes of

taking it. It has always been violent each time I would do this, but it did not

scare me. I knew what was happening. I decided to take a dose this morning, my

second one this year. I am pleasantly surprised that I did not have any result

at all. I am not sure of what produced the continual cleansing of my body of

pathogens, but I will list what I have been doing in the last few months.

Kombucha, Kefir, Iodine, Japanese Pine Needle Oil and I am wearing magnets every

day since May 14.

I am still discouraged that the ones I feel are still not touched by these

newest things I have incorporated into my health regimen. But I am encouraged by

the idea that there are no more " cycles " of eggs to work through. And there are

more things I am seeing, because I have lost weight and my nails are growing.

Nail growth is slow, but any growth means something is working better now.
