Why Consume Probiotics like Kefir and Kombucha?

Probiotics, the giver of life, are microflora that live all around us.   The common types of microflora are bacteria, yeast and molds. Some of these like, dairy kefir and water kefir grains, are beneficial to the human body we call these probiotics. These probiotic microscopic organisms (microflora) help the body build long-lasting immunity to a host of illnesses and diseases, including allergies, irritable bowels, viruses, bacterial infections, and yes, cancer! No vaccination or prescription medicine in the world could ever come close to this safe and beneficial way of balancing the body's billions of microbes. Probiotics not only help create this balance but also helps maintain it for years and years, hence the name probiotic, which means "for life."
This all natural way of supplementing your defense system is vital in today's frightening, non-nutritional jungle of toxic food and medicine. Many people, especially in the United States, are surrounded by bad influences, through our food, environment, and lifestyle.

Probiotic Cultures, Like Kefir Grains Helps Prevent Damage Before it Occurs…

Probiotic cultures not only prevent damage from being done to our cells, they strengthen our immune system and beat down cancer cells before they ever have a chance of multiplying. Probiotics weaken mutagenic activity, so your good cells keep winning the battles, and most importantly, the DNA war. Adding probiotic to your body isn’t hard, just eat! Culturing your own or buying ‘living’ raw foods is the best and cheapest way to get probiotic into your body.
The majorities of microbes in the intestine are not harmful, but rather play an important role in normal growth and development, but when the pH balance is off , especially in the intestines, major problems begin doing "structural" damage to our system, and reinforcement is often needed, above and beyond a healthy diet. Also, probiotics can be used to counter the over-consumption of antibiotics so typical in the average American diet, which is often chocked full of non-organic meats and dairy products that come from animals shot up with varying forms of antibiotics. Antibiotics and trace chemicals are also prominent in municipal drinking water, because it's "too expensive" for cities to filter them out.

Eliminate Fear and Learn about
Your Inner Ecosystem

Just as Earth and Mother Nature have a delicate balance which needs to be maintained, our bodies have their own "inner ecosystem," which is like having a rainforest in your digestive track. When your ecosystem is balanced, your intestines are teeming with beneficial bacteria and micro flora to keep your immune system strong.
However, in the USA, we are told that bacteria and yeast means sickness or disease and are marketed anti-bacterial products for cleaning and washing the hands. The fact is just the opposite in that we would die without a healthy intestinal flora.
Consuming traditional probiotics, like yogurt, ones native to the human digestive tract encourages the production of antibodies, which in turn protects the system from allergies, infections (viral, fungal and bacterial), IBS, and sometimes cancer. In fact, probiotics build defense against disease by enabling your body to build a natural defense, unlike vaccinations. Vaccines are now often crossbred viruses, bacterial strands, mixed up with aluminum and formaldehyde, which shock the system into a panic type of reaction, which is a form of "wild guess" methodology for establishing only short term immunity at best.
Populating your "gut" with beneficial micro flora may help to improve your skin, maintain a healthy weight, and provide energy and overall well-being. Many people who have never heard of probiotics or don't understand their function may be "turned off" to the concept if educated improperly at first.

Benefits of a Healthy Gut

The second someone reads a typical probiotic label or description reading something like, "Over 6 billion bacteria in each tablet," it seems overwhelming, and some consumers might set the product back on the shelf, but at that point, they are selling themselves short of a healthy gut.
Start incorporating healthy beneficial bacteria and yeast into you diet and see the difference. We have many traditional food starter cultures to choose from. We have many dairy type cultures including kefir grains and vegan cultures, too! Not into milk based food, try our water grains or make your own ginger brew. You can see more about each culture type on our main web site or go to our secure store and order at anytime.
