Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I have struggled with infertility for two years now (I'm also older...almost 39) and started drinking K. Tea primarily to help me get pg. In the meantime, after learning about so many benefits, I am now drinking for other reasons too! It is my understanding that the more alkaline our bodies are, the better the chances of conceiving. Is this true? Thanks in advance to all who answer.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hello, I don't know about alkalinity, but I have heard from other List members that KT did help them get pregnant. Does Kombucha cause the body to be more alkaline? > > I have struggled with infertility for two years now (I'm also > older...almost 39) and started drinking K. Tea primarily to help me > get pg.

Have you tried that as well with the KT? Do you know your reason for infertility, for example is it polycystic ovarian syndrome? If so there is so much on the web about how to overcome it and I am just wondering if you have tried that as well? However, I bet KT would improve your chances, but you should also seek out other things as well. Kellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 By the way, did you know that the reason expectant mothers get stretch marks is due to a lack of Vitamin C? Go to the Klenner section at www.doctoryourself.com Kombucha helps you absorb vitamins, including Vitamin C. However, it would be best to take it as vinegar because sugar is a similar molecule to Vitamin C and when they compete to enter our cells, guess who wins?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi Jaqueline, In one of my various books that actually happens to be a homebrewing book there is a paragraph titled " Mead, Honeymoons and Love " Apparently Mead (aka Honeywine) developed quite a reputation in the old days for it's ability to increase the chances of bearing *sons...* This is apparently backed up by scientific experiments with *animals..* They found that they can increase the chances of bearing females or males based by altering the ph of the body one way or the other. Blood sugar levels do affect ph, alcohol affects blood sugar, and of course so does sugar. So it seems that body ph has more to with determining the *gender *of the newborn rather than fertility in general. It does'nt say what type of ph encourages what gender or how drinking Mead affects the bodies ph, just that it can help the chances of having a boy(s). I believe that KT is alkalizing regarding it's affects on the body. But this is disputed at times.. Lemons are alkalizing for example, they are acidic themselves, but they have an alkalizing effect on the body, I think it's because they have a high calcium content if I recall correctly. There are likely some herbal preparations that might assist with your fertility, but I am not aware of what they might be, with the crazy things that happen with commercial fertility drugs (like having suptuplets) I wouldn't go any further than herbs, and other natural treatments. Minimizing stress, positive visualization and simply trusting that you will become pregnant could be a good base for stimulating your fertility but this is just a personal theory regarding manifestation of a desired reality, woooh, deep I know, the body does respond to that sort of thing though.. Take Care, Mom to be.. Beau > > I have struggled with infertility for two years now (I'm also > older...almost 39) and started drinking K. Tea primarily to help me > get pg.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I had a spell of infertility, docs could find no reason for it from testing. Wasn't until I started on a quality Vit E 2X a day and taking folic acid that I started having baby after baby KT should sure help!! Also wonder if a natural progesterone cream might help as well, good stuff. Malinda Re: Does Kombucha cause the body to be more alkaline?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 >I don't know about alkalinity, but I have heard from other List members that KT did help them get pregnant. - Must be in the ferment. I've heard that beer works too. But,all seriousness aside; Akalinity enables many bodily processes to function normally. But there is some confusion re: KT and alkalinity. KT Is acidic but does NOt lead to acidity in the body. But it is NOT alkalining either. IT IS NEUTRAL. However, it is an adaptogen so will lower stress reactions and perhaps lead the body to a healthier state and nudge you toward alkalizing diet, such as more raw fruits and vegetables. rusty Does Kombucha cause the body to be more alkaline? > > I have struggled with infertility for two years now (I'm also > older...almost 39) and started drinking K.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 If that were the case, then Siberian Ginseng would have the same effect because it too is an adaptogen. I don't the fact that KT is an adaptogen is the answer. KT has a known beneficial effect on the glandular system. Traditional cultures used to understand that you must improve your diet to be fertile and have healthy children; those who drink KT and take other measures are coming back to that realization.
