Lynne...

Throughout the years I have had cultures that come back negative for yeast

and some that come back positive. Have no idea how to explain that.

<PRE>i think you do have an idea how to explain that....we are all being ripped

off..sorry to say...as far as all of these products(and i've tried them all)

the only thing that make's any kind of difference with my body is psyllium

husk's(not powder) 2x a day,my eliminations are better than ever, also

exercise...i know this sounds to simple to be true and most of you will be

looking for that magic bottle of pills or herbs thats going to eliminate all

of your problems overnight, for years to come,but your just making these

con-artists doctors, ect. rich.

Diane,

One of my (idiot) Dr.'s told me that some cultures come back positive even

theough there is no yeast infection because we all have the bacteria in our

bodies all the time anyway.

I don't know.

Thanks.

Hi Patty, I would be a bit concerned about the vials leaking into the cloth.

It could be that the whole thing has become contaminated. You can start with

less starter but it will take longer for the brewing process OR you could start

with maybe a half of gallon for your first brew. Did you get a SCOBY with

those vials?

It is much better to start with a mushroom or SCOBY but you can start it

without one. I wish you lived closer, I would get you started but I am S. Cali.

I

am sure there is someone in your area. I remember someone near you helping

someone else get started. I will try to find the post.

Did you say vials?

Patty,

I am sorry but we have been through this vial thing with another list

member. As far as I know she never had anything develop from them. And

didn't get a batch going until she got a scoby from another list member.

Patty,

My best advice is for you to wrap them repack them and send them back

and ask for a refund. Then if no one on list can send you one, get in

touch with Ed Kasper, and buy a scoby from him. I have had his cultures

and they are excellent, and reliable scobys.

Hmmm, why is it that that figures?sigh.

Well one person has offered which I turned down not to be rude but because I

thought I had it already. Well hopefully that person or another in the Houston

area will come through for me. What a pain.

Patty,

Please sweetie, don't let this get you down, Kombucha will make it all

worth while. It will come altogether for you in no time. Just be patient

and take one step at a time. And think of how lucky you are that as a

member of this list you found out about this. Think of the people who

get those vials and try to make a health beverage with it and are

perhaps drinking god knows what. Or walk away thinking that all this

they heard about Kombucha is nothing more than lies. Not knowing of

course that they didn't get kombucha at all. So chin up dearheart,

pretty soon you'll be chanting chin-chin:) Companies like that are a

disgrace to the kombucha community, but there is nothing we can do about

it except to hope that people find out about them eventually and seek

other means of getting cultures.

I agree re: Ed Kasper the happy herbalist is how i got started. My original came

through an ebay purchase but it didn't do well

[Guest guest]

I am going to include the web page addy of where I bought the culture from. I

must say that I am a little disappointed to learn that they sold me something

that in likelihood will not work. I guess I am lucky that so much of the

culture spilled so I went to the list to ask for info. It will save me time

this way. Dang, I wish that it was not so. I like to trust.

I did go to Whole Foods so that I could buy some ready made and get started. I

also have a very very sick cat on it. This cat by all rights will die. I am

just hoping for a miracle. She is the one with the virus. I am the one with

cancer and I am also hoping for a miracle for myself.
