Dear New Ones,

You will enjoy your wonderful new experience.

Go slow, Drink only two ounces a day to start. I never had any side effects. The

first hour after my first four ounces of KT, I could walk faster with my gout.

Find out early if your new scoby is acetic-acid based like the old home-brew or

lactic-

acid based as the ones they get from a store-bought bottle of Kombucha Tea.

You are likely to get more visible results if you drink from the old home-brew

or if you yourself are older.

I am elderly and have many visible rsults from drinking KT since the Blizzard of

96.

I believe that Kombucha has kept me younger than I would have been without it.

However, in the past almost eight years since, I tunred 80, I have experienced

certain changes which I think are hereditary.

I drank gallons of milk but have shrunk from 5 ft. 4 in. to under 4 ft. 10 in.

which is the upper limits of dwarfs.

My perfect teeth from the hard water of Kansas have broken off, and I find I

have a crooked dowager's hump. My mother and grand-mother each shrunk a head

from osteoporosis, which I am coming to believe is hereditary.

I have taken almost every supplement you could think of, including omega-3's and

1000 mgs of Calcium and 500 mgs. of Magnesium almost daily.

I stayed looking magically young when I weighed 210 pounds. Now I weigh only 130

pounds and look like your typical skinny, elderly lady with a walker.

Yet I still believe in and drink Kombucha Tea. I don't believe it ruined my

teeth, but I probably should have rinsed my mouth after drinking it just as a

precaution.

I do believe that Kombucha Tea helps keep us young and and me still here at my

age.

A I always say,

Kombucha like LOve,

" Makes those young whom age doth chill,

" And whom it finds young, keeps young still. "

You newbies will find out sooner or later if that be true as I still think it

is.

Blessings on you all. LOve. MArge.

Dear Marjorie,

I have been reading a lot about iodine deficiencies and hypothyroidism

and joined several of the relevant groups on . Your symptoms

sound a lot like that. I could send links if you are interested. Or

maybe it has nothing to do with it.
