How it all began:

Raised by spiritual parents as a vegetarian, his family are clean food advocates, drinking fresh juices and raw kombucha.

When GT was 15, his world came crashing down. His mother, Laraine Dave, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. The doctors found a tumor the size of a golf ball and assumed that it had already metastasized. Doctors determined the age of the tumor to be approximately 4 years; they immediately ordered bone marrow transplants for Laraine.

After further testing, the oncologists were amazed to discover that the tumor had NOT metastasized. Later investigation into Mrs. Dave’s lifestyle and dietary habits revealed that she had been drinking homemade Kombucha daily for two years prior. Her doctor encouraged her to have the traditional lumpectomy and chemo treatment—but also to continue drinking the Kombucha.

Laraine was give an 85% chance of recurrence. It has been 12 years and Mrs. Dave is still cancer-free. She faithfully consumes a delicious GT Dave’s bottle of Kombucha daily.

GT credits his mom’s good health today to her lifestyle, a positive attitude, and the alkalinizing effects of the Kombucha.

GT’s inspiration was the positive benefits the Kombucha had on his mother. Literally, “It touched my life,” he reminisces.

Not many teenagers find their calling in life and actually become a success so young. But GT eloquently states, “I felt inspired. Kombucha resonates with Food is Medicine.”

Going on, GT explains how he views the environment and our bodies. “Obesity, cancer, and candida are epidemics. We are bombarded by toxins. People have to pay attention, but they aren’t, at least not at the rate they need to be.”
