Hi Sally, small world. When I first began growing and using the kombucha mushrooms people said not to mix CS with kombucha as the CS will kill it. Which it does. Then you read books on kombucha -like Günther Franks and they say to add alcohol to the pressed extract of the kombucha mushrooms ! And claim that it still has all the medicinal benefits ! Most of the commercial vendors of kombucha extract add alcohol to their products and a great many people claim health benefits. My preference is to keep the kombucha a live food but if one wanted the benefits that alcohol provide (stopping the fermentation and no unsightly mess in the bottle) than one should add CS instead of alcohol. One would then gain the benefits of both.
I thought about selling my kombucha extract with CS. BUT the FDA has already cited my site in regards to CS where I stated that CS may be applied topically. The FDA insisted that when one offers CS as a mineral supplement it MUST BE taken internally. So I was obliged to comply and changed wordings and suggestions. I used to tell people to use CS topically and to follow up with a laser pointing pen (red LED) for disorders on the skin and a lot of people reported really great success on tough cases. BTW, kombucha (well aged) works very well on the skin as well and another good along with CS. Presently I still have the links on my site to join this list, but the FDA also stated that where I sell products (FDA specific stated CS and Ginseng in my case) and even though I do not make any medicinal claims yet have links to other sites that do, then the FDA considers that link as part of my label...and therefore I was making the medical claim.

She had been taking CS, but usually ended up going to Dr. and getting expensive antibiotics with uncomfortable side effects. Upon hearing of Brooks Bradley's Gatorade (the real stuff) 2 parts with 1 part 10ppm CS, twice a day, she has had NO recurrence--Praise God! This was almo! st a year ago--I recommend this to everyone taking CS. Purchasing Gatorade by the gallon on sale makes it very economical and even though Audrey is on a salt-free diet, this gives her NO problem. Check my Site & let me know if I can be of help.
