The only two you mentioned I haven’t taken are dandelion and artichoke. —To be honest I thought I could have leaky gut or candida. As far as liver/gut... I agree with you on that. And the longer you’ve been sick, the longer it takes to get better. I’ll be 58 in a couple of months so...
Anyway I’m staying with kombucha for the long haul. It’s one thing when the doctors can help you, something else when you have to do it on your own.
-And if you decide to give it a try, I wish you the best.

Gauging it for health is difficult but I think it’s helped me heal a little. —I guess I was looking for a way to try to detoxify. (Some people fast, and I tried that, went 4 and a half days on water... but I don’t know, I just wanted to feel better).
—I know the article’s about weight, and some have said it helped with that, but I guess you won’t know until you try. It’ll at least be a way to get good probiotics if nothing else.

It’s pretty expensive to buy from the store... something like $3.50 for 16oz, and some of it’s been pasturized so it’s not the best for probiotics.
I bought GT’s kombucha original (it’s not flavored) and poured it into a gallon glass jar along with black caffeinated tea and let it sit for about three or four weeks. It should start to form a pellicle.
Continuous brew is great. After you get a good live brew, you can let it sit for a couple of weeks on a gallon, or 10 days on a half gallon before putting it in the fridge for drinking. Flavor it with whatever you like. (sprite, orange juice, strawberries, or water).
-The longer you let it ferment, the more acidic it gets. You don’t have to worry about your stomach acid killing the probiotics.

“It’s the end of the service,” Kelly remembers, “and he gives an altar call, because my dad was a pastor. And I hear the Lord say, ‘Have you had enough?’ And I was like, ‘God, you know, I have nothing. I’m almost 30 years old. I have no degree. I have no friends. I have a mound of debt. I have nothing. And I’ve been through all of these things. And then I heard him say, ‘If you follow me, I will make beauty from ashes.’”
“[They] opened Scripture with me and said, ‘This is what the Bible says about you. This is who you really are. You’re not unlovable or unwanted, or you’re not full of shame or broken. You’re not dead. You’re not those things. You are beloved. And He sent his Son for you.’”
