I followed up a reference on drinking tea to dissolve kidney stones and came to the following about kombucha.
(quote) This 2000 year old tea is made using a extraordinary mushroom* that is placed into a batch of regular sugary tea. The tea then begins to ferment and in about 7 days it is ready to drink. During that same 7 day period a second mushroom grows within the tea, this new mushroom is used to make your next batch of tea. Each time you make a batch of tea a new mushroom is produced. Because of this quick reproductive cycle of the Kombucha you can make an endless supply of this incredible tea for FREE ! (unquote)
If anyone has a comment about making kombucha tea or use of tea to dissolve kidney stones, I would be interested to read it. bookburn
