I believe matcha tea may act as a stimulant on the adrenals that may result in various symptoms however, kombucha tea seems to resolve this although it may take about seven months to manifest possitively.
It seems that kombucha has a very possitive effect on the adrenal/pancreas axis.

Hi, Green tea has theophylline which is a Vit B6 anatagonist. Green tea can destroy Vit B1 and B vitamins are water soluble. I took Green tea to prevent cancer, lose weight, antoxidant and heal my gut lining. IBS and diabetes are celiac things. It is alot easier to not eat dairy and grains (hurts celiac people) than to try to heal the gut lining with tea and other things. I stopped drinking tea once and I started to laugh again. I think it drained too many B vitamins out of me. I used to drink alot of it and I was always in the bathroom. I still drink tea but I have cut back on it..

Does this mean that if a Type 1 diabetic took a supplement that contains Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), his / her condition may improve or blood sugar numbers would go down?

New (?) fluoride-iodide theory. Japanese and other seaweed eating coastals get lots of iodine, like 100X more than the rest of us, I read. Fluoride displaces iodide. But if your getting lots of iodine - it would be less of a problem. If you're getting too little iodine - trouble brewing (brewing as in green tea). If you have reduced salt for hypertension or taking non-iodized salt or little salt, you may be getting way too little iodine. If drinking green tea for health benefits, maybe boost iodine! I take about 1000 - 2000 mcg/day = 1 - 2 mg/day, with more energy and no deleterious effects for maybe 1.5 years. Mostly from kelp. Have gone higher for months, no problem just more energy.

I am SO enjoying all the wonderful comments on the great benefits from green tea, and thank you all for them. I and my husband have tried for years to drink it, but it constipates us, since it has an astringent effect.

I would so appreciate help from Russ, from Dr. M., or anyone else who can help on how to brew the tea so that there's no constricting effect to it, as we really enjoy it, and we both certainly could use the anti-inflammatory effects.

Please HELP. Thanks in advance.

Friends,

Since 'arriving' at tasty green tea via Starbuck's powdered tea, i've been seeking an organic source of powdered green tea so I can VitaMix my own tasty conconctions at home.

I welcome comments about organic powdered green tea - AND sourcing it...I realize that it is 'processed,' but the mix of green tea with raw milk, and other liquids, is a delight....SANS Starbucks.

This is part of a transition I'm making to eating and purchasing on the principals set out by Sally Fallon/Westin A. Price Foundation as well as more info from Dr. Mercola AND inspiration from Michael Pollan (Ominivore's Dilemma).

PLEASE read this article about the very high levels of fluoride in various tea plants...especially green tea (and how it adversely affects the thyroid...and every other part of our bodies that poison/fluoride harms).

Here's an excerpt:

Tea is very high in fluoride content. Fluoride in tea is much higher than the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) set for fluoride in drinking water.

Tea leaves accumulate more fluoride (from pollution of soil and air) than any other edible plant (1,2,3). Fluoride content in tea has risen dramatically over the last 20 years, as has tea consumption (4).

Sadly, with the earth as saturated with chemical fluoride as it is, there's no way to tell the chemical poison from naturally occuring fluoride...but even naturally occuring fluoride cripples people in regions where it is prevalent.

Although green tea may have very many healing aspects, our world is so poisoned, that ingesting green tea is far more of a risk to health than many know.

Knowledge IS the key to health :)

I have added a boost to the green tea. Since tea helps to eliminate toxins, I also add a mixture of grape juice, canberry juice, and lemon juice. Along with a olive oil and fish oil in the diet, it helps to release and clean out all the toxins. Of course, you DO NOT use tap water to make this drink with.

I hope this isn't too off topic, but we've gone from tea to herbs, so I thought this might be a good place to ask this question. My daughter has a 3 week old infant, and has been totally unable to breastfeed for the past week. She had a terrible case of mastitis, with a fever of over 102. Then, her milk stopped coming in and she was forced to feed the baby a soy based formula. She is still trying to pump, with little success (1/4 of an oz after 20 min/side) and it is still very painful. She read that "Fenugreek" sometimes helps the milk supply, but that you have to take a lot of it. I believe she said 2 capsuls 3x/day. She said that it can cause the body to produce a scent similar to maple syrup. She wants so badly to nurse, and would like to try this. I told her I would ask the experts.. Dr. Mercola...Dr. Gussa...Russ...anyone else who might know: Is this herb safe? Is it effective in helping to produce milk? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.

Don’t you just love it when science finally “proves” what we have been saying all along?

Hears one: Science has proven Bloodroot cures cancer (and I am not talking about those stupid black salves with chloride of zinc in them that burn stuff off)

You can read about the research from the pharma guys at many places from this page. There are two different links of research and you could print a small book on it if you follow the links!

But guess what!! They don’t want to say anything publicly because they are refusing to do any thing about it. Why? Because they would have to synthesize the whole plant and since they can’t do that, they don’t care because they can’t patent it and make big money! They hide the info and hope nobody ever reads it BUT HERE IT IS BOYS AND GIRLS!

GERRRR!

Plant nutrients from dark green leafy sources have been used for optimum health in humans, and animals, as long as the species have existed.

Remove these essential nutrient, amino acids (many the body cannot produce on it's own), bioavailable vitamins, minerals, fiber, plant sterols, anit-inflammatories, etc. (the list is very long) and your health suffers.

Argumentation that these beneficial properties can be found in pills, capsules, gel caps, tinctures, glorified fruit juice (stripped, deionized, concentrated) based brands is generally DUBIOUS at best.

If the liquid(s) is indeed green, be it steeped from dry sources, or fresh sources, there is a better probability of benefit.

As like the good Dr. reminds us, IF the botanical itself is not somehow dumb downed, or cross contaminated, or the source of liquid it's being put into for proper utilization on dosage, for a specific person over a specific period of time, is not compromised.

It's generally easier being healthy when you use GREEN.
