Pt. Roberts, WA. ©1995 Providing Kombucha since 1995
The policies of the F.D.A. prevent us from stating that Kombucha cures any ailment. They require scientific studies be done before claims can be made. Studies cost many millions of dollars. The pharmaceutical industry which works closely with the F.D.A. is unwilling to conduct such studies on home cures. The F.D.A. does not conduct such studies.
Even two thousand years of positive anecdotal information about Kombucha is not good enough for the F.D.A. They will not allow us to state that Kombucha can cure any illnesses. We therefore do not make any such claim. . . So as to avoid getting nasty letters from them.
The many testimonials on our web site are from customers who believe the tea has cured them of various illnesses. They are not employed or have any association with Kombucha America other than being a customer.
Million of users currently enjoy this refreshing tea daily (reported by NBC Dateline) and thousands of Internet users rave about its health benefits.
Above images do not prove health benefits, they are however interesting to look at.
Recent medical news reports support the long held belief that Kombucha Tea may prevent cancer. I personally have had conversations with individuals who credit Kombucha tea for arresting their cancers. I have also talked to many people who say they know of others who say they also have been cured. This comment is not to imply that Kombucha is a cure for cancer, only that some believe that it has for themselves or for others.
Recent medical studies continue to confirm that those who drink black or green tea show a 60% to 75% decrease in various types of cancer possible due to the strong antioxidant properties of polyphenols found in tea as well as weak acids with antioxidant properties.

"Romanow, Medical Director of the Center for Sports Medicine of Profsport, performed studies on athletes that consumed Kombucha under very intensive stress during their training and competitive cycles. Romanow found that the athletes who consumed Kombucha had an increase in maximum performance capability, an increase in cardiac output, improved gastrointestinal function, and an improved sense of well being. As a result, Romanow stated that Kombucha most probably serves as a biostimulator with a broad range of activity, able to increase aerobic capacity and improve metabolic function."
"Kombucha was proven to have anti-microbial activity against a number of pathogenic organisms. The anti-microbial properties of the ferment were attributed to the acid content. Therefore, the prevention of pathogenic growth by the consumption of the fermented tea, Kombucha, may be important in aiding immunity and illness prevention. This effect could lead to better overall health. In addition a few clinical trials have shown that Kombucha can reduce pain, assist sleep, increase aerobic capacity, and improve metabolic function."
