Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Does anyone know what a good herbal stimulant might be to replace coffee in the morning? I do need something for a jumpstart.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yerba Matte is what works for me. I drink it in a better format than just alone though, although I used to drink it alone. It has what is a mirror image of caffeine in it (not caffeine). I can send you a few tea bags of a formula that I drink every morning if you like. Write me privately. I sweeten it with Stevia.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Try Kombucha tea (AKA Manchurian tea). There's at least one on this. Also google search to learn about it. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I looked for info on this tea and found http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/PPI/UnconventionalTherapies/KombuchaManchurianTeaMoGuF\ ungoJapon.htm Summary Due to the lack of scientific evidence, the general consensus of medical and scientific communities is to not recommend the use of kombucha tea. (Monson) Reports of severe toxicity resulting from the ingestion of kombucha tea would suggest that ingestion of the tea is potentially dangerous and cannot, therefore, be recommended. Description / Source / Components Kombucha tea contains various bacterial/yeast colonies, metabolites, B-vitamins, and up to 1.5% alcohol. (Monson) (Anonymous 1995) Kombucha is a drink made by growing the " kombucha mushroom " (a symbiotic mixture of yeast and bacteria) in sugared black tea. (Monson) (Anonymous 1995) The " kombucha mushroom " looks like a slippery, rubbery, brownish-gray " pancake " floating on top of the sugared tea. The tea tastes like sour cider. (Monson) (Wigod) (Webb) This one tells who should not drink it. http://www.kombuchatea.co.uk/who-should-not-drink-kombucha.asp It appears there were a couple of deaths in iowa in 1995 but these people were culturing their own. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00039742.htm http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/xmas98/phan/phan.html http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=651 Kadee --- Joseph Toman <joseph_toman wrote: > Do you have a site for Kombucha tea?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 You'll get a lot of arguement pro-KT from this group: http://health.original_kombucha/ I find the tea quite good. It is suggested for some to start out very slowly and to watch for detox effects, gradually building up to drinking more. We (wife & I) drink it at will and so far can't make enough to last between batches. Here's a few links to explore: Kombucha tea links: http://w3.trib.com/~kombu/ http://www.kombu.de/hoopla.htm http://www.rifetechnology.com/kombucha.htm http://fungi.com/info/articles/blob.html http://w3.trib.com/~kombu/FAQ/homeFAQ.html Best.
