It's great but maybe not for cancer
I love the stuff and have been an advocate for years. I have given away hundreds, maybe even thousands of them. Virtually everyone that didn't kill it still uses it to this day. You can use different types of tea for different effects and flavors. I contribute my fertility to drinking it everyday for years. I had previously been told by doctors that I wouldn't be able to make babies. My business partner started drinking it about six months after I did. He was 38 and had grey hair and had lost some pep, he also had never made babies. Within three months of daily use, his hair began to turn more brown, he also slept less. After a year, you could barely see any grey at all. After about 18 months, his girlfriend of 11 years got pregnant, unplanned. He drinks several glasses a day, he looks five years younger than when he started drinking and has two kids and the energy to keep up with them.

As far as drinking with cancer. I don't. Too much sugar. I have used the "mushroom" itself to treat severely dry skin. It's one of the most amazing things. Just put a piece on your skin for a few hours and it will feel like babies skin for days. I know some hippie girls that put the whole thing on their face and they look 18 all the time and their in their 30's.

I would definitely recommend one for your family and limited doses for you

What is Kombucha tea? What are the health benefits of Kombucha tea?
Answer
from Brent A. Bauer, M.D.
Long popular in other countries, Kombucha tea is gaining popularity in the United States. Although frequently referred to as a mushroom, which it resembles, Kombucha is not a mushroom — it's a colony of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha tea is made by adding the colony to sugar and black or green tea and allowing the mix to ferment. The resulting liquid contains vinegar, B vitamins and a number of other chemical compounds. Kombucha tea is commonly prepared by taking a starter sample from an existing culture and growing a new colony in a fresh jar. Health benefits attributed to Kombucha tea include stimulating the immune system, preventing cancer, and improving digestion and liver function.

As with any dietary supplement, it's critical to do your homework before considering using Kombucha tea. First, determine the level of evidence supporting the health claims. In this case, Kombucha tea's benefits are based on personal reports, and lab and animal studies. To date, there hasn't been a single human trial reported in a major medical journal. This doesn't mean that Kombucha tea can't possibly have health benefits; it just means that at this time there's no direct evidence that it provides the benefits it's reported to have.

The next question is whether there have been any reports of harm or illness caused by the product. In the case of Kombucha tea, there are reports of adverse effects such as stomach upset and allergic reactions. More worrying are the reports of toxic reactions and metabolic acidosis. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration cautions that the risk of contamination is high because Kombucha tea is often brewed in homes under nonsterile conditions. Lead poisoning also may be a risk if ceramic pots are used for brewing — the acids in the tea may leach lead from the ceramic glaze.

In short, there's not good evidence that Kombucha tea delivers on its health claims. At the same time, several cases of harm have been reported. Therefore, until definitive studies quantify the risks and benefits of Kombucha tea, it's prudent to avoid it.
