The body comprises of more bacteria than cells... We feed our cells nutrtion to maintain health - so how do we nourish our bacteria? Does the bacteria in fact feed our cells with light? Does this then preserve our life? So maybe when the original un-tainted elements of Light Air Fire Earth Water (Lafew) are kept in their original design and integrated with kombucha; the real preservation of bacteria is created through fermentation for our bodies - sustaining and supporting life - maybe the ancients got it right! The Earth and Earth’s sun have been around for ever, why aren’t we? There is a lot unexplained by science regarding Kombucha, the relationship between bacteria and Earth’s sun appears to hold the key to the magic of this ancient tea. Interestingly, science has given us this fact to ponder - bacteria when observed under a microscope simultaneoulsy 'responded' to the Sun’s release of solar flares; 8 minutes later, (at the speed of light) the Sun’s rays reach Earth. This means there is a type of communication happening between the Sun and the Earth, faster than the speed of light, with bacteria acting as a conduit? As bacteria support life, and has an ability to communicate with our body and cells; the real science may be a desire to discover, through ones own curiosity the connections through the experience of drinking this Elixir of Immortality.
