Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 Ann, I have made Kombucha tea for years. If you are going to make it yourself, then you need to purchase a book on making it. Making it from anything other than white sugar could be very dangerous. Anyway if you let it brew longer than usual, then most of the sugar is turned into vinegar. I think kombucha tea is a healthy drink with plenty of beneficial enzymes and nutrients, but I wouldn't be thinking that it would do a lot for cancer. Try ozone, liver cleanse, bowel cleanse, etc. Yaawa@... wrote: > From: Yaawa@... > > I have a question regarding Kombucha tea.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 The sugar is feeding the yeasts & bacteria in kombucha. If you brew it 2 weeks instead of one it will taste more vinegary & have less sugar. If you can still taste the sugar, brew it a little longer. Anecdotally, it has helped with cancers. jim Yaawa@... wrote: > From: Yaawa@... > > I have a question regarding Kombucha tea.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 I want to agree that kombucha should not be thought of as a cure for cancer, just that anything that helps your health, fights the cancer. jim Nichols wrote: > From: Nichols <nichols@...> > > Ann, > I have made Kombucha tea for years.

I found the book at Amazon.com that I have and it is under $6, so if you are still interested, just purchase the book or one of the many others that are listed. The book is written by Hobbs, L.

I have and continue to do bowel cleanse (schultze's) lever cleanse & parasite cleanse along with other disciplines. The recurring problem I have is depression because with all that I've done and still do my tumour continues to ever so slowly grow. I haven't tried ozone treatments yet due to reading too much about the possibility of it increasing cancer growth or spreading it. I don't need that.
