It may be that they are each loaded with a host of beneficial nutrients or their particular acid / alkaline balancing abilities as espoused by western medical doctors like Dr Rudolph Sklenar or Dr Robert Barefoot. Or a deeper often misunderstood theories of homeopathy (Homotoxicology) and Traditional Chinese Medicine,  yin yang theory that predates western Acid Alkaline theory by thousands of years.  
 
As a pro biotic: Acidic kombucha, pH 2-3.5 aids the Stomach (both in the TCM and western sense) in the breakdown and digestion of food ingested.  Beneficial bacteria and yeasts, that comprise the Live K-T or Pressed Extract (as opposed to pasteurized, neutralized, alcoholic or dead kombucha) compete with and help remove (suppress) harmful bacteria, yeast, and parasites. (Probably why Candia sufferers can drink K-T). Then due to the synergism of the stomach acids and kombucha, the transformed alkaline kombucha pH 7+, aids the Spleen (function in TCM), intestines, gall bladder and pancreas (function in western speak) in metabolizing and distributing that digest throughout the body. Thus kombucha truly holistically balances and harmonizes the body.
