Taking a break from Kombucha?

[Guest guest]

I've been drinking Kombucha tea continuously since 1995 and it was

such a blessing to me healthwise. I only saw the doctor for routine

check ups. No prescription drugs no problems at all. I went

overseas 2 years ago and took the culture with me but on my return

to Canada, I was a bit careless and forgot the SCOBY in London. As

a result I didn't drink any kombucha tea from September 2005 until I

recently joined this group, bought a starter kit and started

drinking again for about 2 weeks now. During the short break that I

took from the tea I noticed that I had so many health problems;

acne, psoriasis, low energy levels, fatigue, hair loss and for the

first time in many years, the flu. I therefore decided that I was

never going to take a break from the tea again. However I just read

an article from growyouthful.com which advises taking a break from

the stuff and I quote: " Over a period of several years, or in very

high doses, KT can be quite hard on your liver. Give KT a break for

a month or two each year. After many years of drinking it, take an

even longer break " . That's not good news for me. Anyone else of the

same opinion? I would love to here what others have to say about

this.
