Yes. The zeolite in liquid zeolite is unaffected by temperatures under approximately 900°F (480°C).

Yes, if for any reason you do not want to take it in capsules, you may pull out the content and mix it with water, juice, or yogurt.

Tea is a drink made by infusing leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis, or Thea sinensis) in hot water. The name 'tea' is also used to refer to the leaves themselves; and it is also the name of a mid- to late-afternoon meal in the British Isles and associated countries, at which tea (the drink) is served along with various foods.

The caffeine content in tea averages about 1/3 the amount found in equal liquid quantities of coffee, about 28-44 mg of caffeine per cup. It is only a myth that green and white teas have less caffeine. The leaves contain the same amount of caffeine but you tend to brew green teas for a shorter period of time and this will lessen the amount of caffeine that ends up in the brew.

There's a lot of folklore and literature about the health benefits of tea. This is unfortunate, because tea is toxic and addictive. I advise against all tea, including herbal, black, oolong, and green. Herbal tea is not really tea, but a brew of herbs, which supposedly are beneficial, but actually are quite toxic. Black, oolong, and green tea all come from the same plant. Black tea has more caffeine; green tea has more antioxidants; and oolong tea is intermediate between black tea and green tea.

True "teas" come from the dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, the tea plant, from which black, oolong, green and white teas are produced. Products labeled as "tea" without the herbal designation must contain Camellia Sinensis. Herbal teas or tisanes do not contain Camellia Sinensis and usually have no caffeine.

Now commonly referred to as Red Tea, "Rooibos", or "red bush" is a South African herb that is a widely drunk beverage in South Africa and in other countries.

In response to the query about the carbohydrate content of Kombucha, the following was found in Christopher Hobbs book: In tea made with 1 cup of sugar to 3 quarts of water, fermented for 7 days -- there are about 4 grams of sugar in a 3-1/2 oz. glass. That's about a teaspoon or 16 calories. The analysis was done by a certified food lab. A test done by Kappa Labs in Miami Florida, for John M. Novar of "Kombucha Power" was as follows:

There have been some reports stating that bottled Kombucha has remained viable for up to one year, as long as it is kept in the refrigerator, or another type of cold storage. If not kept in cool, the microörganisms will not survive, although many of the other components found in the ferment will remain stable.

Kombucha Tea can become toxic if it becomes contaminated by pathogenic moulds or bacteria, such as C. botulism. However, these organisms will not grow in an acidic medium below pH 4.

Although heating will destroy the enzymes, microörganisms and some of the vitamins which are found in Kombucha Tea, many of the other components remain stable.

No. It doesn't appear to make any difference. Kombucha can be fermented in full daylight, total darkness, or anywhere in-between. Some people living in far Northern climates such as Alaska, have reported very good results when fermenting their Kombucha Tea in full morning and afternoon sunshine during the winter months.

Some people only drink 4 ounces once or twice daily others are drinking 30 ounces or more per day without any ill effects.

The amount will vary, depending on growing conditions and amount of sugar used. Usually less than .5% on up to 1.5%.

Clean cotton muslin, cheese-cloth, unbleached paper coffee filters, fine plastic strainers, or anything of this nature will work equally well.

Michael Roussin, Director of the Kombucha Consumer Research Group ™ says: "Until today (4 Jan 1996), I would have recommended that Kombucha not be given to pre-puberty children. The reasons are iffy, and propounded in several books and papers, but the basis for those iffy suggestions are not valid, therefore, the suggestions are not valid either. In short, there is no reason (except concerns about caffeine) not to give Kombucha to children.

No. It was previously believed Kombucha ferment contained heparin (a compound found especially in liver that slows the clotting of blood and is used medically), however, according to recent scientific research reported by Michael R. Roussin, Director of the Kombucha Consumer Research Group ™, there is no heparin found in Kombucha. No. It was thought previously that Kombucha ferment contained heparin (a blood thinner).

This is done to prevent air-borne contaminants from getting into your fermenting container and contaminating the contents. Never use a solid lid, (the bacteria and yeast are aerobic--need oxygen to survive) use only a tightly woven cloth, disposable unbleached paper coffee filter, unbleached paper toweling or similar material held closely to the edges of the container with a rubber band.

The price of any particular tea is determined by many factors, the most important of which boil down to the care and skill with which the leaves are cultivated and processed and the rarity of and demand for the finished product. The highest grades of tea are invariably limited to very small quantities (sometimes no more than a few pounds per year) and can sell for many hundreds, even thousands of dollars per pound.

All tea comes from the same plant, but that is where the similarity ends. The many different classifications and varieties of tea are produced through differences in cultivation, harvesting and processing. Teas from different regions have different flavors, as do teas picked at different times of the year.

mentioned above, it does no good to try to make good tea last longer than one should reasonably expect. This simply allows good tea to become not-so-good tea, but proper storage will definitely help preserve it as fresh as possible as long as possible. Tea has many enemies, the most significant of which are: light, air, moisture, odors, and, of course, time.

If you have never heard of compost tea, it is best described as a liquid soil conditioner for your garden and lawn. For the organic gardener, it is just one more way to utilize the compost harvested from your compost bin , compost tumbler or worm compost bin.

New Haven, Conn. - A treatment for polycystic kidney disease(PKD), a leading cause of fatal kidney failure worldwide, has been identified by a research team led by Yale biochemist Craig Crews, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Over 12 million people worldwide suffer from PKD, a genetic disorder that causes uncontrolled growth of cells lining tubules in the kidneys, and results in the formation of many, large fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys.

Alfalfa tea is a kind of Spring tonic for roses to help them to get off to a good start. It is made by putting three quarts of alfalfa pellets,(the kind without molasses), into a 33 gallon garbage can with a good lid. You will need the good lid to deal with the foul aroma that will come out of that can after a few days. After the mixture has fermented for about a week, it is ready to be poured around the base of your rose bushes.
