    Default Fasting on Rejuvelac? Kombucha? Emer'gen-C?

    Would you do this? Could you? Would it be beneficial? Harmful?

    Arrow would avoid calcium carbonate

    I would fast on Kombucha. That is a great idea! Kombucha is so beneficial for you PLUS it curbs your appetite (helpful with fasting

    I would NOT fast on Emergen-C nor even drink Emergen-C because it contains carbonates, especially calcium carbonate.

    Calcium carbonate is a insoluble solid occurring naturally as chalk, limestone, marble, and calcite. Calcium carbonate is also a component of mollusk shells and stony corals.

    Calcium carbonate builds up in the body, causing kidney stones. Calcium carbonate can also cause gastritis.

    I used to drink Emergen-C too.. it gives you a bit of energy and is nice while traveling. Once I found out about calcium carbonate, I stopped drinking it. Have you ever seen limestone? That is what is building up in your body... thick white chalky substance.
    May we be blessed with the compassion to respect all that lives. :)

    I use Synergy to aid in my flora but I personally would not fast with Kombucha as being a major source of fluid and nutrients. It does contain trivial amounts of alcohol depending on fermentation and naturally occuring caffeine.

    I don't even care for MC myself but adore fruit/veggie fasting as it contains all the nutrients for rebuilding while you are cleansing, dotoxifying and rebuilidng/rejuvenating.

    So no, I would not use Kombucha --only as aid in flora.

    I would view Rejuvelac same as Kombucha sinc ethey are both feremented drinks

    Emergen-c is a powder? for colds?
