Re: lyme disease & kombucha

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I used to make and sell Kombucha and some people bought it for their daughter

who had Lymes, it was the one of the things that really helped her. It didn't

cure Lymes but it helped her with symptoms.

I double it is the Kombucha that is aggravating your Lymes unless you are

drinking it very sweet, the sugar could feed bacteria. Or I suppose it could be

a herx, try cutting back on the KT for awhile and adding more water.

Hope the flare up passes soon .

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

There is an easy way to measure sugar content. Homebrewers use an instrument

called a hydrometer that measures specific gravity. You measure at the beginning

of the brew with a know amount of sugar, then you can measure at any time and

get an accurate idea of how much sugar is left. A good hydrometer will set you

back 5 or 10 bucks. - Woody

Here is some info you might find helpful.

" Peripheral Neuropathy: If you suffer from burning, pain, numbness or itching in

your legs and feet caused by peripheral neuropathy, alpha lipoic acid may ease

your symptoms. This condition can be caused by diabetes and other conditions,

such as Lyme disease, alcoholism, shingles, thyroid disease and kidney failure.

Certain injuries can also cause the above symptoms, as well as nutritional

deficiencies and chemotherapy. "

A host of other diseases and conditions can also be alleviated or eliminated by

the use of alpha lipoic acid, too.
