Kombucha Tea

I read the Mayo Clinic article cited above, NO benefit. Avoid using. Can have adverse effects.

That's good enough for me.

Finally, a voice of reason :) . Like you, I also read before putting trendy stuff in my body. You never know what it's doing to your liver, kidneys, etc, until it's too late unless you research. Also, the Mayo Clinic Dr. Weir, and NBC all caution against homemade Kombucha above all else because of the bad bacteria that can grow if you miss one little sanitary precaution. No thanks. I'd rather eat a nutritional diet. It's cheaper, healthier, and tastes better.
 

They were talking about the many benefits of magnesium on another board that I am on. So I thought I would take some and see if I benefitted. I asked my doctor first. He said try it and see if it helps. I took it for about three weeks and started having severe heart palpitations. The only thing I was doing differently was taking the magnesium. I Googled magnesium and it said that too much of it can cause heart problems. I stopped it and after a week or so, my heart went back to normal.

I think I'll stay away from miracle treatments from now on.
 
My daughter's mother-in-law died at age 60 from ovarian cancer (or was it the uterus) 2 years ago because she watched Dr. Oz who said rub Vitamin in E oil all over your skin and to use it as a treatment for dry hair. She got toxic shock from using too much. She told me, before she died, that her cancer was from putting on too much Vitamin E. She lived for about 6 months after finding out. I think she said she had a skin problem and was only rubbing it all over her neck.

Believe NOTHING Dr. Oz says.
 
I don't believe anything anyone says when it comes to doing something foreign to my body including prescription medication and supplements…ESPECIALLY prescription meds and supplements! I was told by my doctor last year that I needed expensive high blood pressure meds and Statins. I said no way and she said if you don't you'll die. I came straight home after my appointment and read in several reputable places that you should get a plaque calcium scan first. I had a score of 0 (meaning absolutely no plaque in my arteries). My doctor and a few other doctors all agreed that I should not be on heart meds. Instead I changed my diet and swim everyday. One year later I'm as healthy as a teenager.

That's great, Lara! I take a prescription antihistamine and a calcium/D pill. Otherwise, try to eat healthy, and workout a lot, and my cholesterol and glucose are always good.
 
Ameriscot, you're doing great. It shows in your travel photos…especially your bike rides. I saw on the news last week that calcium is in question now as to how much we need. It's always something isn't it.

P.S. well maybe I exaggerated the teenager part a little :rolleyes::). That was so long ago I forget how good I felt back then. But this one year transformation has kept me not just alive but having a good quality of life.
