Autoimmune Diseases and Kombucha Tea

Just a quick post to provide a link to an article which many of you may find interesting.  I am not sure why type 2 diabetes (lower case intentionally!) was omitted from the article, however there is a lot of good info written in laymen's terms.   Just click on the Women's Health link below.

We don't suggest that Kombucha Tea is a panacea --- it actually does not cure anything per se; however, people (too numerous to count) have attested to the healing benefits of drinking the tea.  Kombucha Tea works by improving the immune system, which in turn helps the body to heal.  You can actually consider Kombucha Tea to be an adaptagen, for it goes to those areas of the body where it is most needed.  For this reason, results vary from person to person.  There seems to be a general consensus that Kombucha aids in reducing stress and providing energy, along with promoting sound, restful sleep.  Sleep is important if you are working on healing a specific medical condition.  Ample sleep (between 7 - 9 hours) assists the body in healing.  Kombucha Tea naturally helps the body to rest.   If you have not tried it yet, you can get it here:  GTS Synergy Raw Organic Kombucha

Remember - if you are in the New York City area and wish to attend a free workshop to learn how to make delicious Kombucha Tea at home, please send an email to kombuchacafe@gmail.com.  We also provide free SCOBY's so if you need one let us know.

Kombucha Tea Peps Up Annual Block Party

Last Saturday our block association held it's annual block party.  My husband and I ended up giving countless samples of our home-brewed Kombucha Tea to our friends and neighbors, of whom most of them said that they want to start home brewing themselves.  We always suggest that you purchase Kombucha Tea from a health food store or supermarket so you can taste the difference between the commercial brands and your own brew.  We also suggest that you begin consuming the tea regularly (my research has led me to sites which recommend around 16 oz./day) until your first batch is ready to consume.  You can purchase it here:

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented, probiotic beverage which is generally made from brewed black or green tea, sugar and healthy bacteria.   It can be brewed as a carbonated beverage and a non-carbonated beverage.  The key ingredients are the tea, sugar, vinegar (or starter tea) and the bacteria culture, commonly referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast).  

 

Kombucha is referred to as the “elixir of life” and “tea of immortality”.  It’s origin dates back thousands of years and to date there remains controversy over its actual origin.  Many people attest to the healing properties of Kombucha Tea.  Here at Kombucha Café, we are not medical doctors and make no claims or recommendations.  We personally drink Kombucha Tea daily and are sharing our personal experiences with you in respect to the many improvements in our overall health, energy, and reversal of life-threatening medical conditions.  Please do your own research and check with a licensed medical practitioner in all of your health endeavors.  That being said, enjoy our blog and we look forward to your questions and comments.

Here is an excellent source of information regarding Kombucha – this book will benefit both the novice and the seasoned brewer:

Feeling Great!

 After drinking Kombucha Tea daily for about six weeks now, I feel terrific!  The increased energy really comes in handy while multitasking, and despite the incredible energy levels, I am able to effortlessly fall asleep at night.

I would be remiss not to mention diet and exercise at this time.  Studies show that a healthy diet, along with a exercise routine greatly improves the state of one's health.  For those of you who have been following me, I have successfully recovered from Type 2 diabetes which I was diagnosed with in 2009.  I am completely medicine-free after needing 4 shots of insulin/day ( was prescribed Novolog and Lantus).  I will post my complete story for inspirational purposes in a future post.  In the meantime, know that diabetes mellitus is 100% reversible.  The key to remember for now is to avoid processed foods and refined sugars like the plague!
