This is a lie. No one has died from drinking kombucha, and it's believed

that no one has ever gotten sick either. So it's not like, oh well, only

2 people have died so I guess the risks are reasonable. NO ONE HAS

DIED. The risk is solely of increased health and well-being.

[warning: begin soapbox]

The perpetuation of the myth that people have died is just part of the

demonization of kombucha, part of the ongoing campaign against alternative

health practices because they can't be controlled and profited from by the

medical-industrial complex.

In case people haven't noticed, Western Medicine is not really about

preventing disease, it's about holding people hostage and enslaving them to

the system. Not to say that very important and good things don't happen in

Western medicine, of course they do, and I have benefited thereby,

myself. But Western MEdicine does not do preventative medicine or holistic

health support, and whatever it does do well, it doesn't admit what it

doesn't do well. It does not admit its limitations.

And, it doesn't admit that industrialization is poisoning humans and is the

cause of much suffering. For instance, the American Cancer Society

continues to say that breast cancer is a disease that cannot be prevented,

yet we frequently hear about new aspects of industrialized society that

cause it. In fact, the American Cancer Society says the only thing proved

to cause cancer is radiation. This is where the need for " proof " becomes

absurd, with the profiteers defining " proof " ever more finely so that they

are never required to do anything about it.

Hospitals host fast-food joints like Mac's, and serve Coke to

desperately ill patients in their beds. To me that is indicative of the

serious problems with Western Medicine.

My point being, people need to learn to sharply question the " research "

showing KT to be unhealthy. Any such " research " serves an agenda and has

nothing to do with the actual effects of KT. To step outside the Western

Medical box requires one to think for oneself and validate alternatives for

oneself. Not an easy task in a world in which individuals are

systematically robbed of their own truth and self-validation, but a

necessary task.

[end soapbox]

Many people drink a quart every day, others drink even more, and some drink

a lot less. I find the amount I drink varies according to desire and

supply, but I like a quart a day in general.

From in the UK. Conviced KT brewer & drinker.

I have been watching your emails from the UK for some weeks now, and was very

interested to read your letter and your attitude to " western medecine, "

I have long been concerned at the lack of truth in the various diktats

disseminated by all governments. I find as I grwo older my level of cynicism

becomes stronger. There is no doubt that the establishment here in the UK do not

support any form of holistic or natural medicine. I believe precisely for the

reasons you state, no profits and no control. I realsie the drug companies

doproduce huge benefits for everyone. But it is also apparent that governments

are encouraging drug companies intheir duplicity towards the population. Too

many drugs are producing horrific side effects, which are not publicised until

serious, often lethal consequences are apparent.

The level of daily KT intake here is suggested as 3 wine glasses per day, no

where the levels spoken of by your various email friends. I am unable to know

the " correct " quantity to take, I guess until one feels the intake has become

too much or side effects start to show, I simply don't know, but would be

interested to learn. One thing I am convinced of is that is very, very

beneficial.

I intend to ask my own doctor, who is a good friend as well as doctor, so I

believe I shall get an unbiased answer.

I wish you all a very happy christmas, and extended happy brewing.

Hi ,

My primary caregiver is a naturopathic doctor/acupuncturist who is amazing.

However, he admits he has some discomfort with kombucha. I didn't ask him

what his discomfort is, I keep meaning to, but I don't see him very often

because I'm so much better than a few years ago when I saw him

often. Anyway all I'm saying is, just because you respect and have

affection for your friend the doctor, doesn't mean the person will have an

educated view on kombucha. It takes research and commitment to know the

truth. I'm planning to take my doc a bottle of bubbly KT at some point.
