Byldzje, (btw, how does one pronounce your name in English?)--

I take thyroid hormones (Synthroid type) and it has not produced any

problem. I had been drinking it several months and had my tests and there

was no change to warrant medication adjustment. I'm hoping this year there

may be a need for reduction of meds.

otoh, I got some neighbors started drinking/brewing KT, and Larry was

taking the blood thinner following heart surgery for irregular heart beat

(he's in his late 50s). He began drinking KT (probably a pint a day) and a

week or two later went in for testing. His Protime (sp?) test, which

measures how thin the blood is, was up to 3.7, when it should be at 2.0

(this is in the USA, other countries may have different scales). The doc

(his general internist) asked what he was taking, and he told him kombucha

tonic. The doc's office said they actually recommend people not drink KT

while taking coumadin.

HOWEVER, a nurse in the actual heart surgeon-specialist's office a few

weeks later, suggested that he might stop the coumadin and simply drink the

KT. He decided not to because he was planning to travel and couldn't be

sure he would have an adequate supply of KT on the road. He's now

medically released from the coumadin and is enjoying KT immensely.

People here have said that KT regulates the blood to balance, regardless of

the problem. Also, that people have found their blood pressure

reducing. Given the fact that I've been blessed with much greater energy

that continues to improve (and I have fibromyalgia, so I'm *quite* aware of

the change), and that people have reduced their weight, I can easily see

just on the macro physical scale how it could have that effect.

That's what I know. My opinion is that people should drink KT if they are

sick. Some people say that extensive cleansing of the body should occur

first (in the form of herbal/diet/colonics), others say that people

shouldn't be on pharmaceuticals at all if they are drinking KT-- there are

a lot of opinions. I personally believe that KT is given by Creator so

that we poor humanoids (and some of our companion beasts) may have

ultra-nutrition available to us that is low-cost, enjoyable, and easily made.

If people are ill, they should start at just a tablespoon a day, diluted

with 2-3 times as much water, taken with a meal. Dividing the dose into

two is also a good idea. At that level, nothing is going to happen that

will be out of control. Taken with meals, KT is a digestif, and the first

place most sick people need help is in digesting food and assimilating its

nutrients. And that is the first thing that KT does for the body.

KT is not a drug, it is a food. A glorious food. It provides the body

with the building blocks to create health. The body chooses, according to

need, how to utilize these building blocks. That is why it is a food

rather than a drug.

Dear ,

Thank you very much for your long and honest answer to my question. I'll get

my husband to read it and let him decide for himself whether he wants to try

KT or not. Personaly I feel that IF he does, he should be sure to have some

extra medical check-ups. He suffers from cardiomyopathy (failure of the

heart muscle) that is said to be irreversible and most times progressive. He

is actually doing very well right now, his doctors are amazed about it. Two

years ago his heart was only working for 55%, he wasn't able to walk more

than 200 meters. Now it's back to 90% and he is working fulltime again,

doing serious garden work, taking the dogs for long walks etc etc. He is on

loads of medication and they are all very carefully balanced to work

together. That is why we are so very careful not to do anything to interfere

with that. He is only 53 yet....

An other problem with him using KT could be the fact that you need to drink

al lot of water. He is on a restricted amount of drinking fluids.

Byldzje is not my name (I'm called Johanna. In the US I would be called

Joan), but it is the name of my studio. I am a visual artist. It's a Frisian

word meaning " little image " . It's also a verb meaning " to form " (as in being

educated), " to give form to " etc. And it also means " to sparkle " .

In English the " y " sounds like " ee " in bee only half as long. The " e " sounds

like " u " in guts.

Oh and Frisian is the language that's been spoken in the utter nord-west of

the Netherlands, that's where I live.

In case you are interested in fine arts you'r welcome to visit my website.

I'm afraid text is all Dutch, but it has lots of pictures.
