----- Hi Tom! Congrats on your speedy recovery and continued health.

Where abouts do you live? My hubby had the same thing........and our hospital was only one of a few I learned that does off pump. My husband had the Heart attack.....I drove him the hour to the hospital as we thought it was nothing serious.....dumb......I'll know better next time.....

However...my hubby had the emergency surgery @ 7 am and was in recovery by 11 am......and spent the night and went hime at noon the following day. To say I was dumbfounded is an understatement.....but...the surgeon said he was fine, and better to be home with "friendly bugs' than face the ones there...so I was very grateful for that.

Anyway.....you are the only other person I know who went home so fast:-) My hubby had a single also......altho I do not know if that really means any less pain from the entire ordeal.

His one year anniversary is coming up the end of April, and so far so good. He just turned 57 and has the energy of a healthy 30 year old. He was tiring alot in the year before the H.A.

Anyway.........

my hubby was given a med to stop coagulation,...can't think of the name of it....and he was put on niaspan, because he nor his family can tolorate statins. After a month or so, he went off the one med..and has stayed on the niacin, and is now trying policosanol. I feel real lucky that the doc was agreeable to have him on less meds. He does take supplements tho......and.....he kicked his tobacco habit many years ago. He now tried to do the treadmill faithfully at least 3 times a week. (45 minutes on a 3% grade @ almost 4mph.)

I try to encourage him in relaxation, stuff like that.......cuz his mind goes fast....he is already planning his every move for next week.

Anyway........hang in there........and much luck to you........

you will find much knowledge here and at the other group, supplements for a healthy heart.

If your hospital offers a rehab program...by all means go....it was the best thing my hubby ever did for himself.

Hi All, I had open heart surgery lasy week ( single bypass, mammary to LAD, off pump), spent a total of 54 hours in the hospital ( from the time I entered the building to the time I was wheeled out). Saw the surgeon today for a follow up and he says everything looks great.The cardiologist put me on lipitor about a week before surgery and also says a beta blocker might be a good idea.I', taking the lipitor,but would like to avoid all this crap quite frankly. I quit smoking 10 weeks ago, am watching my diet, as soon as I am able I will be doing more aggressive excercises, etc. now can someone recommend a place to go for information on alternatives to the lipitor and beta blockers????? Thank you in advanceTom

Hi Jillie,

Thank you for your reply and your husband and I seem to have

something in common especially from the thinking and planning ahead

standpoint!

I'm just confused over the beta blocker suggestion. I definitely

don't have high blood pressure ( I average 110/70 most of the time),

pulse is at about 85.

But I'll hear him out as to why, the reasons etc assuming he gives

them to me and then tell him I need to think about it.

I've had a stent put in, was put on statins and hadbad reactions from high doses, 20mg Lipitor, then ayear later 10 mg Crestor. My cardiologist has filed anadverse reaction report, at least he said he was. Healso recommends Bisoprolol Fumarate, it lowers andstabilises the pulse.

You are so lucky to have a Dr that cares ! My Dr got in my face and denied that my damage was caused by the statins ! Of course I picked the wrong Dr, his field has been in research , and he is owned by the drug companies !

Leigh,

Thank you. What is CoQ10, where to get it, where to find more info

etc?

Lipitor is a statin right?

An update to this. Just recently I went in for another

angiogram, 3 years after the stent put in and 21

months after my last Crestor pill. Everything is

working fine, no blockages, the surgeon, Dr Hamburger

believe it or not, who did the stent originally said

keep doing what you are doing, you are in great shape.

He also said keep taking the statins. I laughed and

told him I'm not taking them, just red wine, some

exercise and now a low GI diet.

I've posted before but here it is again. Sciatica pain

in lower back, buttocks and thighs. Second time around

really bad, needed 2 crutches for 3 weeks, foot drop,

lack of balance, IOW nerve damage. I think the body

either robbed the myelin sheathing to get the

cholesterol it needed or denied it when it was needed

for repair, hence the effect on sciatic nerve. I still

have a slightly numb left foot 21 months after my last

Crestor pill.

Don't panic, what you're seeing is the usual progression

of Scoby growth. It sounds like it might be a strong grower,

sit back and watch your new pet. Don't stir it, I've never

heard anyone suggest you do that. Just give it food and

let it do its own thing. What a normal Scoby does, is to

try to cover the entire top layer of the liquid, and no matter

how wide the jar, or how little, it will still try to cover it.

So a quart jar will have a Scoby that covers the top of the

liquid in it, and a gallon will have one that desperately tries

to fill in the blanks, so to speak. After a couple of brewings,

this Scoby will make others and will be in itself a stronger,

thicker top of the brew Scoby.

Tomorrow or so, stick a straw in it, put your finger on the

top, then drop the liquid on your tongue. If it is still real

sweet, let it wait another day or so. Then check again.

Happy brewing.

greetings!am new to brewing and drinking but thankfully happened upon

this group.

received a scoby last week via the internet and thought i was to stir

as long as it was sinking.

after further research, stopped stirring on day 5 and am now on day

six.

my only activity is a thin short creamy line with a small circular

spread of film going outward along the watermark wall of the jar and

some " tendrils " formed on the bottom of my submerged scoby that have

come up to the surfaced and another little piece of separated creamy

tendrils at the top in another area-total of three different things

going on in three different areas.

also figured out during my research that i did not receive enough

starter tea to make up a 10th of a gallon and then over dosed my scoby

with organic distilled vinegar on the same day i stopped stirring.

smells like vinegar, looks like cloudy tea, seeing lots of bubbles yet

wondering if that line and small spread of film is mold.

should i sit tight and wait this out or is it time to panic and do

something else?

thanks! ><{{}} " >

so, i got a strong one eh? not sure how you were able to tell from what i said

but i recieve your words as truth.

because i split the orinigal scoby, there is actually two 1/2 gallon brews i

am working on. the other looks kinda milky from the top in one area so i guess

that is good too.

am wondering about the vinegar overdose.

thanks! lynn

Lynn what you're describing all sounds very normal (except the stirring,

but then you knew that, or, you do now ;)

> am wondering about the vinegar overdose.

Not a problem. Not an overdose. Vinegar is a friendly addition to KT

(unless it is live vinegar, in which case it might compete with the KT

organisms), but you stated you used organic distilled, so you have no problem.

It's also very normal for people to be very worried when they first start

brewing, but it sounds like you're all good.

Greetings, Faith-person! :-)

WOW, what a stirring experience! ;-)

I don't think it would have done your Kombucha any harm, but

on the other hand would have definitely thwarted the formation

of a new scoby/culture/pancaky-thing on top.

I expect you gathered, that a quiet 'leave alone' existence is

the happiest mode to be for the developing KT.

As you still have your old culture and the probably nicely developing

Kombucha Tea Tonic you should be fine for your next brew!

'Culture' is both the solid as well as the liquid, as the yeasts and

bacteria are distributed through it all, with the top being favoured

by the bacteria and the bottom of the jar by the yeasts ......

Your description sounds normal and that of an active brew. So don't

worry. You could now carefully try your brew with aid of a straw to

see whether the taste is coming up to the right acidity - I take it

you prefer it not too vinegary? ;-)

Especially with having added so much vinegar the film is most likely

a new scoby forming and NOT mold.

Mold is fuzzy and usually darkish.

Have a look at this:

http://www.happyherbalist.com/pictures.htm

So, my advice to you is:

1) Try.

2) If too acidic use for next KT (acidic KT is ideal as starter)

and dilute for drinking.

3) Don't panic, but go to 1) and take it from there. :-)

Warm Kombucha greetings!

Hi Margret, and welcome back! You have been sorely missed.

Lynn, thanks for the kind words, and glad to help.

Just to reiterate for Lynn and anyone else, because I had a private call

about this recently:

Mold is ALWAYS fuzzy. Always.

So if you think you have mold, wash and rinse your hands and reach out and

touch it. If it's fuzzy, sticking up off the surface like mold on a batch

of rice or pasta, then yeah it's mold. If your finger encounters

slickness, then it's just an irregularity in the SCOBY and it's ALL OK. It

doesn't matter how round the spot is or what color it is, the only thing

that will ALWAYS tell you is the fuzz factor.

Or so I understand.

I think the plant idea would be great and would like to know!

Also, there was a post by Ed I think, about the kombucha experiment

using an airator, which made a good tea, just without any new scoby

forming.

Great Question, Being a organic farmer, it is common to us to look at

the relationship between prey/predator. So whenever there is bacteria

or fungus that is out of balance we see it as a need to have the

predator fungus present to re-colonize the area with beneficial

bacteria and or fungus. So to answer the question about kombucha on

plants, its worth a try in combating the parasitic fungus and

absolutely won't harm the plant in any event.
