Kombucha America - Page 4 - Illnesses possibly helped by Kombucha Tea

Recent medical news reports support the long held belief that Kombucha Tea may prevent cancer Read disclaimer. I personally have had conversations with individuals who credit Kombucha tea for arresting their cancers. I have also talked to many people who say they know of others who say they also have been cured. This comment is not to imply that Kombucha is a cure for cancer, only that some believe that it has for themselves or for others.

Recent medical studies continue to confirm that those who drink black or green tea show a 60% to 75% decrease in various types of cancer possible due to the strong antioxidant properties of polyphenols found in tea as well as weak acids with antioxidant properties.

Testimonial - Arthritis, Wrinkles, Gray Hair, Hair Growth: I have been brewing and drinking Kombucha for nine months with amazing results, like those wild testimonials in the literature; facial wrinkles (I'm 60) filled in, gray hair turned back to normal; I sleep better, bowel function is better. . . My husband had been taking prescription painkillers for arthritis and the medicine gave him ulcers. So I figured, why not try this wonder elixir? After a couple of weeks my husband's pain eased up and he has not had to take painkillers since. Plus hair is growing back on his bald spot. Now that's something we hadn't even expected!

Testimonial - Inflammatory Bowel Disease: I had Inflammatory Bowel Disease for ten years. I tried many alternatives but did any more than help with the symptoms. I was forced to maintain a very strict diet or suffer the consequences. Even with the strict diet, I was experiencing intestinal bleeding every day.

Between two and four weeks after starting to drink Kombucha tea daily, all symptoms disappeared. I have now enjoyed 18 months of absolute health, and I am very much enjoying eating whatever I please with no adverse results. My doctor recently said he could see no sign that I had ever had the disease.

I thank God every day for Kombucha, and highly recommend it. Please feel free to use this quote anonymously. I feel obligated to share my experience. . . BP

Glucuronic acid (debated}, or its precursors are also present in Kombucha Tea, this acid is a metabolite that is produced by a healthy liver and aids in the detoxification of the body. By drinking Kombucha Tea daily you may help prevent your body tissues from absorbing all the toxins and poisons found in our industrial environment that may be making you ill.

Many health benefits that have been reported by others from drinking Kombucha Tea (read many testimonials), most are likely due to its cleansing, detoxifying and acidifying effects. The health and healing benefits of this remarkable "living" tea are varied and may also vary from person to person. The tea has been purported to be of "possible" help for the many conditions seen on the right of this page Read disclaimer.

The policies of the F.D.A. prevent us from stating that Kombucha cures any ailment. They require scientific studies be done before claims can be made. Studies cost many millions of dollars. The pharmaceutical industry which works closely with the F.D.A. is unwilling to conduct such studies on home cures. The F.D.A. does not conduct such studies.

Even two thousand years of positive anecdotal information about Kombucha is not good enough for the F.D.A. They will not allow us to state that Kombucha can cure any illnesses. We therefore do not make any such claim. . . So as to avoid getting nasty letters from them.

The many testimonials on our web site are from customers who believe the tea has cured them of various illnesses. They are not employed or have any association with Kombucha America other than being a customer.

"Romanow, Medical Director of the Center for Sports Medicine of Profsport, performed studies on athletes that consumed Kombucha under very intensive stress during their training and competitive cycles. Romanow found that the athletes who consumed Kombucha had an increase in maximum performance capability, an increase in cardiac output, improved gastrointestinal function, and an improved sense of well being. As a result, Romanow stated that Kombucha most probably serves as a biostimulator with a broad range of activity, able to increase aerobic capacity and improve metabolic function."

"Kombucha was proven to have anti-microbial activity against a number of pathogenic organisms. The anti-microbial properties of the ferment were attributed to the acid content. Therefore, the prevention of pathogenic growth by the consumption of the fermented tea, Kombucha, may be important in aiding immunity and illness prevention. This effect could lead to better overall health. In addition a few clinical trials have shown that Kombucha can reduce pain, assist sleep, increase aerobic capacity, and improve metabolic function."
