Re: Really anemic since drinking KTcould it be the Black tea???

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Everyone is unique and no one thing is right for everyone.

This is the first time i have heard of anyone becoming anemic while drinking KT.

I have been reading the posts to this list almost daily, since 1995 however, I

could have missed one. Might be a good idea to check the archives which I also

will do.

Did you just start to drink black tea in addition to KT? I have also been

drinking both since 1994 and have no problem with anemia but as I said, everyone

is different.

I would suggest you pursue the anemia question further, while it may be from the

tea, there may be many other causes too.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

Thankyou Bev...

Yes I am searching for the cause for sure..as I too realize we are all so

different from each other... that is why I was hoping someone might know more

about

I never drank black tea before nor now.. I have never liked BLACK tea ever or

any other kind of tea for that matter except for HERB tea a few times... for yrs

I have only drank water all the time.

Only now am I drinking black tea in the kombucha only because it is how I make

the Kombucha(which I will add I luve the taste so much of the kombucha I

make... it is delicious, I let it sour more than my friends do as I luve the

stronger vinegar taste)

Also the kefir is excellent.. I also let it brew longer than others do..

delicious.

Can Kombucha ever be made with any kind of HERB TEA at all?

thanks so much for any help.

gratefully appreciated

Great... thanks so much

That gives me another idea maybe you know the answer to.

Do you know if I could use any kind of a " HERB " tea at all instead of black

green or white?

I have never heard of red tea, I will look it up.

I have just NEVER been a tea drink ever... I do not like tea, just nice clear

water is what I have drank all the time.

Must say I luve the Kombucha and kefir though but it is the vinegar taste I luve

so much...Delicious!!!

thanks

appreciate you taking time to reply

It can happen. With anything good that detox's our systems something has to be

used to help the detox. In my case, where I started drinking Kombucha, I would

get leg cramps , like charlie horses. I though it was potassium, but , it was

Magnesium. The charlie horses went away after supplimenting Magnesium , and

havent returned.

Im not saying it is Magnesium in your case though. We all have differant bodies,

and somehow Kombucha will let us know what we need too.

If, you think its anemia, try a high absorbing Iron suppliment and see if it

goes away.

Try switching tea flavors, mix green and black, white and green, pretty much any

combo, and see what works for you.

Thats the fun in Kombucha.

According to the link to the article below occasional tea drinker can suffer

anemia but consistent, long terms drinkers do not because their body adjust to

the tea. The article explains it better.

You should cut back for a while to allow your body to build up. You can also

start drinking beet kvass. Beets are a great source of absorable iron.

Very interesting... so maybe this anemia is for just a wee time???

I am open to new thoughts for sure..

Beets is one food I cannot eat because it constipates me.. weird hey!!!

But if I was to make what you call Beet Kyass.. what is that and how do you make

it???

thanks for all you shared

Wow this was interesting...

thanks for sharing

I have been getting leg cramps which I never have before... so to me that seemed

weird but I never thought it may be the KT

And just today my husband went and got some liquid minerals which I see has

magnesium in it.. to help me absorb the iron plus taking a few more things to

help me right now....

I also had my first batch of kefir water made with molasses and must say it is

the first time for over a week I have had a bit more energy and could get up and

walk around more.. NICE

thanks for sharing

Can a person put lemon juice and rind " right in the kombucha when it is brewing "

as well as other herbs besides just sweetened tea and scoby?

thanks so much for sharing

>

> I use Floradix Iron and Herbs for my monthly anemia and it works very well.

Yellow Dock is another herb you could take. I have taken it in tincture form and

had energy results within 15 minutes. I wonder about maybe even adding some iron

rich herbs in with your Kombucha?

Interesting... thanks

I just read also that beets are high in oxalic acid also... this is what it

says:http://www.magdahavas.com/pick-of-the-week-9-0-95-and-2-45-ghz-most-lethal-\

microwave-frequencies/

~~eet greens supply a goodly amount of calcium, but they also contain " oxalic

acid " , which will " leach " calcium from your system. Whenever I cook greens with

an oxalic acid content (beets, spinach, chard), I top the steaming hot dish with

cheese, which will preferentially " bind with the oxalic acid " , so I can retain

the healthful calcium.~~

I also found that " In general, the highest concentration of oxalic acid is found

in the " leaves " and the least in the roots.

So that is why black tea etc has so much in it... it is made from the leaves..

wow..(and I now know that the oxalic acid can also lead to anemia in some, which

I believe is what is causing it in me)

Seems there is always something one can eat with something else if there is an

effect because of it... very interesting stuff for sure..

I am going to try the beet Kvass... since I will NOT be eating them(beause it

is eating them that constipates me)

thanks so much

bless you...
