One drink I am thinking about is a sweet rice milk fermented with the water kefir grains.
Well, Ill tell ya if half of the health claims they make about this stuff is true I should be like a super hero in about two months. Fire proof, bullet proof. capable of flight.
I'll just drop quote here.
Scientists and doctors today are mystified by the
proliferation of new viruses—not only the deadly
AIDS virus but the whole gamut of human viruses
that seem to be associated with everything from
chronic fatigue to cancer and arthritis. They are
equally mystified by recent increases in the incidence
of intestinal parasites and pathogenic yeasts,
even among those whose sanitary practices are
faultless. Could it be that in abandoning the
ancient practice of lacto-fermentation and in our
insistence on a diet in which everything has been
pasteurized, we have compromised the health of
our intestinal flora and made ourselves vulnerable
to legions of pathogenic microorganisms? If so,
the cure for these diseases will be found not in vaccinations,
drugs or antibiotics but in a restored
partnership with the many varieties of lactobacilli,
our symbionts of the microscopic world.
