Sickness Reigns Supreme

And so I got sick. Not really sick, but I feel a tickle in the throat. I’ve been drinking an f-ton of kombucha lately from my experiments, so frankly I’m not so sure now about the immune boosting properties. I mean, i’ve heard of people not getting sick for years at a time on this stuff. But why not me? Granted, I’ve gotten sick more times this winter season than I have in the last 5 years combined simply because I took a job working in a tiny room with numerous germ-ridden children. But still, why not me? I’m doing the usual gargling with my horrid concoction of ACV, honey, cayenne, and water. And I’m taking elderberry extract like it’s going out of style. Perhaps I’d be much worse off if not for the kombucha? Am I not fermenting it long enough? My research suggests that it takes 7 days at least to get the immune boosting properties, but if you’re constantly brewing (using more than 2 cups of the original liquid at a time, should it matter? Some of it has been in there for at least 7 days if not more at any given time I drink it. Maybe I’m drinking too little. Or maybe I’m drinking too much and my body is now populated with kombuchae from another universe. I did notice that my tongue was white yesterday. I panicked a little but realized it was just the yogurt I’d recently consumed. All is well in the world of tongue.
