Microbes in Cancer history The following chronology was compiled with help from Rosina Fasching, Dr. Alan Cantwell, and my own research. Some of it can be found in Fasching's book on Kombucha tea(see biblio at end). Also a good faq on this tea can be found at http://www.sease.com/kombucha/faqs/faqc.html with links to other sources of info. See Dr. Cantwell's book: AIDS, the Mystery and the Solution, ch.17, The Cancer Microbe. This chronology is far from complete, and lacks many references, which we will pull up from our files and with the continued assistance of our friends at OHSU, and at a future time post to the RCRS web site. Please feel free to add or expand.

For those who've been following my posts, may recall that this is a normal byproduct of metabolization of nitrilosides. The web site noted above contains many interesting observations of the utility of glucuronic acid in detoxification processes. --- Bibliography Tea Fungus Kombucha - The Natural Remedy and its Significance in Cases of Cancer and other Metabolic Diseases by Rosina Fasching ISBN 3-85068-231-5 Published by W.
