*      Laraine  was  first  introduced  to  Kombucha  in  1993  aBer  a  friend  gave   her  a  baby  culture  to  make  at  home.      *    She  was  diagnosed  with  a  rare  and  aggressive  form  of  breast  cancer,   known  for  moving  quickly  to  the  lymph  nodes  and  bones.     *    The  doctors  could  not  give  Laraine  even  a  year  to  live,  yet  aBer  being   tested  again,  to  everyone’s  surprise,  the  cancerous  cells  had  not   metastasized.      *      When  asked  what  she  was  doing,  she  replied:  “Drinking  Kombucha   everyday!”     *        She  credits  Kombucha  to  keeping  her  strong  through  chemotherapy   and  radia&on  to  remove  the  cancerous  cells  and  aBer.     *      “  It  truly  is  one  of  nature’s  best  kept  secrets,  and  I  made  a   commitment  to  spread  the  word  of  Kombucha  to  all  those  near,  dear,   far,  and  wide,  in  the  hope  that  it  could  touch  other  people’s  lives  like  it   touched  mine.    I  am  proud  to  say  that  to  this  day,  I  remain  cancer-­‐free,   and  Kombucha  plays  a  major  role  in  my  life,  keeping  me  healthy,  happy,   and  strong.”      -­‐  Laraine
