Kefir has cure some friend of mine successfully. Kefir as standard diabetic diet is recommended.
Since taking kefir my severe reflux has disappeared.
What is the difference between Milk Kefir and Water Kefir are the health the same for both
Should you wait to take kefir until after you have finished your antibiotics I noticed it says it clears out the antibiotics out of your system.
How often do you take kefir and what amount ?
I love Kefir, it makes me feel good- makes my stomach feel good, and I feel calmer, happier, more energetic. Anytime- first thing in morning, after work, before a work-out, before bed.
about 250ml Per day is a good amount to stick to.
I have a friend that has HPV, could Kefir possibly cure HPV?
My LDL level has dropped after consuming for 3 months, only a small amount everyday. I feel more energetic than before, better bowel movement.
Kefir helped IBS and yeast overgrowth. I had severe IBS and I couldnt go anywhere in the mornings because I lived near my bathroom. I had yellow stools that burned terribly. I think it was yeast. I cut out all sugar for 2 months and took fungal defense by garden of life. And I pumped the KEFIR. I couldn’t tolerate any probiotics before. I can now. I am thankful I got to the bottom of my problem….Kefir helped me in a big big way! I take 2 cups a day now…..
Can kefir helps in insomnia and what is the best time to take? Can it also treat freckles? I have to travel for four days once a month, and when I travel I won’t be able to do my normal kefir, how do I keep the kefir grain? Will the kefir grain still grow?
Since drinking a glass of kefir a day, the debilitating psoriasis on my hands has healed completely.
I like Kefir drinks. How much can we drinks daily. If we did not put in fridge, how long can we keep it. Will it go bad in tropical weather which is hot.

Hi Giselle,
First of all, I love and am grateful for your website. It’s wonderful!
I haven’t seen you focus much on the benefits of kefir to prevent osteoporosis. I started using kefir for this reason having heard from more than one source about it’s usefulness for this. Do you know something that discounts this?
Dr Perricone’s website, among others, has some great info. Here’s a quote: “Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin found in foods such as yogurt and kefir will stimulate new bone growth while preventing further breakdown of existing bone tissue, lactoferrin enhances both the growth and the activity of osteoblasts (the cells that build bone), and reduces the rate of bone cell death by 50 to 70 percent and decreases the development of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone.”
I’d love to hear your comment about this.
Thanks!
Very informative article
just lovin the way i feel
Kefir yogurt cures and prevents reocurrence of canker and cold sore. It cures hemorrhoids. It cures and prevents allergy to peanuts.If you have one of these problems, you should try kefir.
because nutrients only work in the body for short periods of time i add a days worth of several like tomato paste and tumeric and many others and then sip every four hours this is very extremely benefical i call it gods goodie sometimes i call it fixer elixer and other times best buzz
My grandson has ADHD and is on meds for it. They have helped him some but now he has Treits from the meds. He is only 9 years old and I’m so worried about him. When he was born he had yeast really bad to the point he lost his finger nails. They came back but I feel it all has to do with yeast. Will the kefir help with this? And can you take the kefir with fruit?
i have always had what you call a white coated tongue,,,,no matter what i did it didnt go away,,,looking it up on computer, it said it was where i had candidas which made my body unbalenced,,,,after taking kefir, i now have a pink tongue…i am really excited about this stuff
i have to add one more thing that i found out,,,,usually i lose alot of hair when i pick it out after washing,,,the last couple times since i have been on it,,,i have very little hair coming out in my hands and pic now….this stuff is becoming my best friend!
I have been drinking kefir for over 2 years now and love it. I used to be a gum bleeder but ever since drinking kefir my gums don’t bleed. My dentist was so impressed with my kids husbands and my gums that he started his whole staff on it. It does amaze me that so many people in the medical field have never heard of it.
I also run a daycare and have gotten some of my parents on board with it. The children who have it daily are very rarely sick with an average of two minor colds a year, the ones who don’t take it seem to be sick all the time with up to 10 colds/flues a year or more. I wish all the parents would get on board for a healthy child is a happy child.
I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WATER KEFIR HAS TO DO WITH THE HEALING OF HEPATITS SPECIALLY HEPATITS B AND THE C4 ONE
Hi Diana, I think you should purchase this book and follow the insturction” Dr. Campbell-McBride’s book Gut and Psychology Syndrome ” You will see tremendous results. The kefir will work, but he needs to be on the correct diet. Magnesiun Chloride, Vitamin C, zinc and Iodine will help.
I just started drinking raw kefir. I actually didn’t like it at first but now I enjoy the sour fizzy yogurty goodness.
You can use Magnesium Chloride for irregular heart beat.
Hi I have not tried Kefir yet but would really like to. I have an intolerance to cows milk specifically the casein in milk which is the protein component of it, this eliminates all dairy products from my diet. I am unable to digest it. Can I still take Kefir? I have a terrible stomach it is always upset, gas, and bloating I just don’t know what to do? Please help.
Thanks Rosie
Rosie,
Kefir may help depending on your milk source and what it is in the milk that you are intolerant of.
For some it is the lactose (sugar) which does break down in Kefir, The longer it ferments the less lactose it will have and the sourer the taste.
Others are intolerant of A1 casein found in Holstein (hybrid) cows. Jersey, Guernsey cows and goat milk have A2 not A1. Have you tried goat milk?
Believe it or not milk kefir make everything easier and my life better even with my t-lgl leukemia (an indolent not life threatening type of leukemia with low grade malignacy, most dangerous can be prove the lowering of immune system that caused by that and the low count of red cells). Consuming kefir everyday for 4 months my rbc is raised 5 whole units (from 20 to 25 and still going, even three lines of treatments mtx, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide didn’t achive anything close to that), feel much better, sleep better, no infections (that’s a big deal in my condition), my visits to WC regulised; 2 everyday, no stress, no gum desease (leukemias cause severe gum problems), no bad breath, my skin looks healthy, my pale colour dissapeared, i even go to gym 3-4 days per week and with goji berries these 2 working miracles on me. One year with first line therapies made me feel miserable and no remission achieved, 5 months with kefir and goji berries and i feel you know like a normal man. Good luck people, that thing works for sure…
is kefir good for type 1 diabetes?
