Your energy comes from the food you eat and the liquids you drink.  It is broken down during the digestion process into energy-containing substances and passes into the blood stream.  The substances then circulate throughout your body and are picked up by cells.  In the cells, reactions occur that release the energy.  As the nutrients are used up chemical waste products are produced in the cells throughout the body and the liver.  Liquids end up in your 2 kidneys where filtering takes place, then on to the gall bladder for temporary storage.  The waste liquid is then periodically eliminated from the body as urine. 

We have a certain responsibility to keep our bodies in good health,
as far as it lies within our power to do so…as a loan from God.

Efficient processing in the urinary tract is critical to one’s good health and complications and disorders do occur.  Infection or inflammation of the small arteries inside the kidney is called artherosclerosis.  Scarring of the filtering tissue can occur and is very serious.  Hard deposits called kidney stones can form and move into the outflow tracts.  As anyone who has had the condition will tell you, this is very painful.  As they pass down the normal flow of urine is restricted.   

An estimated one third of men have some sort of prostate surgery. Another third experience some sort of prostate problems. We have a separate web page devoted to Prostate Disorders.

Hard stones can also form in the bladder (gall stones) or kidney stones can pass from the kidneys to the bladder.  This is also an extremely painful condition until the stone(s) are eliminated.

The bladder and kidneys can both be easily infected and both can develop cysts and tumors. 

Our NATURAL & ALTERNATIVE HEALING RESOURCE DIRECTORY provides information on great products and where to buy them that specifically target many of the conditions that affect "modern man" today.  Drinking Kombucha on a regular basis also may very well be the most important thing you can do to regain and maintain good health.

Let me tell you a little about a fermented tea remedy that is useful in creating a hostile environment for urinary tract infections.  It is also effective in preventing the development of stones, cysts and tumors in the urinary tract. 
 

This ain't yo mama's tea

Kombucha is an Oriental fermented tea remedy that can be traced back to 400 B.C. where it originated in what is known today as Korea.  It’s perfectly safe and has been used by Emperors, Czars and even an American President.  It was the 1980s and the President was being treated for Cancer.  He was having a problem with metastases (spreading of cancer cells).  A culture was brought in from Japan and Kombucha was incorporated into his treatment.  He survived and lived into his nineties. 

Today, over 500 million people world wide drink Kombucha on a regular basis.  It was introduced to the American public in 1993 and usage has steadily grown ever since.  It is estimated that today, over 3,000,000 Americans are regular users of Kombucha. 

The following properties are beneficial in maintaining a healthy urinary tract & the prevention of gall & kidney stones. 

Dr. Herrmann researched the aid of Kombucha in dissolving bladder stones. Kombucha was received 2 or 3 times daily over a period of several weeks. An increase in calcium and phosphate was recorded in the urine during this period. The stones gradually reduced in size and eventually discharged through the bladder without appreciable discomfort.

As we get older our pH levels tend to get more alkaline enabling more pathogens to survive and multiply, hence more infections and disease.  The pH of Kombucha is about the same as the stomach fluids are supposed to be.  Digestion is improved and stomach ailments are less likely to occur.  The substances moving into the blood stream are also less likely to contain infection causing pathogens. 

The fermentation process produces a variety of acids that are beneficial in breaking down the material that solidifies and causes stones.  Lactic acid is also produced which is successful in the expulsion and elimination of unfriendly bacteria that cause digestive problems. 

Kombucha contains friendly bacteria and beneficial yeasts (not to be confused with candida) that nourishes colon flora.  Acetylcholine benefits the body’s nervous system and choline normalizes blood pressure and prevents hypertension. 

Being stupid, isn't not knowing much, nor is it not wanting to know much.
Being stupid, is believing you know enough.

Americans have been clogging up their arteries, veins and organs including the liver, kidneys, pancreas and bladder for years.  It is estimated that adults consume 5 pounds of chemical additives each year that are put in our food to extend shelf life, make it taste better, look prettier etc.  Throw in the chemically altered fats we ingest when we eat foods prepared with cooking oils or spread globs of margarine on our bread or buns and your have a ticking time bomb in your digestive and urinary tract.

Medicine cures three tenths, diet cures seven tenths.
From China

Kombucha seems to be the biological equivalent of STP gas treatment, carburetor cleaner and radiator flush all rolled into one.  It took years for the gunk to build up and it won’t come out overnight.  Drinking Kombucha daily slowly works at the cellular level to pull these toxins out of your body.  Glucuronic acid (GA) then binds the toxins in the liver which are then eliminated in your urine.  Toxins bound by GA cannot be reabsorbed by the intestines or the urinary system.

All of these properties work together, to help you maintain healthy digestive and urinary tracts. 

An M.D. reports: I, myself, am a dialysis patient. I therefore drink only a little liquids. I started drinking a few mouthfuls of Kombucha at a time since it is such a good thirst quencher. To my great surprise my last checkup showed a considerable improvement in my creatinine and urea values

Kombucha by itself doesn't cure anything.
It simply nourishes at the cellular level so that your marvelous body can heal itself.
