Drinking Kombucha Tea Eliminated My Psoriatic Arthritis Symptoms

Hello GLP,

Long time lurker here posting for the first time. Anyway, I've had psoriasis since I was 12 (I'm 24 now). I started to get sore knees when I was approx. 16, and last October I developed debilitating joint pain all over my body (visit my blog here for all the details: [link to kannonkombucha.com] Coincidentally, after drinking kombucha tea my joint pains went away, and now I'm back to normal! I still have psoraisis on my scalp and other parts of my body, but this has decreased with the use of Denorex and Neutrogena T/gel shampoo, so it's hard to determine the impact kombucha tea might have had on the scalp psoriasis. However, I am utterly convinced that kombucha is the primary factor in the remission of my psoriatic arthritis symptoms.

If you are suffering from this condition, I highly recommend you try drinking kombucha tea for a week. You can find it at most grocery stores where I live (Safeway even has its own brand now). For healing purposes, I'd recommend GT's original ("alcoholic" version may be superior because it isn't pasteurized) because it is supposedly made of pure raw kombucha tea, and therefore has more beneficial probiotics and enzymes.

I drink about 1-2 cups of the stuff every other day. I haven't yet experimented with going without for an extended period of time to see if there's remission, but my body feels so good right now, I'd hate to change my routine.

Keep in mind, that I came to the conclusions I did after prolonged experimentation with some pretty radical diets and alternative treatments. I tried going vegan (except for oily fish), gluten free, nightshade free, diets zero omega 3 of omega 6 (forget which one it was, lol). Back in March/April on GLP, there was a thread that said drinking Borax dissolved in water had cured people of their symptoms. I desperately wanted this cure to work, but unfortunately it did not after trying it for three weeks (I didn't die either, like the haters said I would, so it might work for others, but I'd definitely recommend trying something like kombucha first before resorting to such desperate methods).

Kombucha also tastes pretty good (to me). I hated it at first (tastes like vinegar in the raw form), but the taste definitely grows on you, and there are sugary/fruit juice mixtures available if you don't like vinegar.

Anyway, my wip website www.kannonkombucha.com has more info. I made the site because I want to spread the word of the healing power of kombucha. But posting on GLP will definitely mean the info will reach more people, so I'm happy as long as this happens :).

Thanks! Hope you guys get something good from this!
