Re[2]: Re: How much kombucha is it safe to drink in a day?

[Guest guest]

AMEN to that V!

Well stated. I get so sick of the double standards. " Their " drugs kill

hundreds of thousands, and nothing gets done about it, but let one person get

a belly ache from a natural alternative and watch the s*** fly and bans be

made and items confiscated off the shelf in the name of " protecting the public "

sheesh, give me a break. The only thing they are protecting is their own

purses.

Yes I drink tons of KT every single day now that I have my cultures again and

loving every minute of it.

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.
