do people not realize that you need your liver if you want to live? I've taken care of a man dying of alcoholic cirrhosis and it is a GRUESOME way to die

It is extremely effective for anxiety if you can get past the taste. But it tastes so bad the idea of drinking it gives me a panic attack.

What am I doing here :
I watched a video where someone was talking to a kava expert about the history of kava use and kavalactones, and I think they said that in places like Vanuatu and Fiji, half the population drinks kava almost every day, while the other half doesn't. And just about no one has shown signs of liver damage. It only became a concern when we tried making supplements and extracting specific kavalactones and using them in concentrations beyond what you'd usually consume from the brew.

Do you have a video on fenugreek you can link me to? I am curious what is ACTUALLY proven about it through peer reviewed studies.

This is so random but could you make a video about CYP2D6? My doctor told me I lack that enzyme and I just know it makes medicine work weird but that’s it 😭

can you please make a video on Gabaxodol? Its a synthetic derivative of muscimol from some of the amanita mushroom species. though it never left clinical trials because of the hallucinogenic side effects.I feel that if it were to have been FDA approved it would have been much safer and possibly more effective than Ambien and zopiclone.

kava is an interesting substance. My ex wife who worked in herbs said that the issue with liver damage was a brief blip when companies were trying to isolate the main active ingredient in kava... and apparently that does really bad things to ones liver. It does taste terrible. I use it in capsule form. It is potent, but not in the way alcohol or other substances are. It relaxes the muscles through the body and creates a calm. That's different from a high.

I used to drink it for my anxiety. It helped a little but not that much. Tastes like a cross between tumeric powder and ginger mixed in muddy water that also makes your mouth feel numb. Effects were kinda over rated tbh.

I'd bet that the small percentage of people who have reported liver damage from kava are current or previous chronic alcoholics with compromised livers. At the least, current or previous heavy drinkers

Cavala, too short for it to really be used medicinally in my opinion like it might work to help to take you out of a panic attack, but it’s just too short lasting

I've seen a similar thing happen with pot for some people where the first time or the first few sometimes It doesn't feel like anything but after a couple sessions it suddenly hits and from then on it always does, then normal tolerances applies. is there any actual reason for this or it's just people understanding the "high"? have you heard about it?

Just cause the video is so inconsistent and son conservative about how long Kava has been in use for, I wanted to say that it was spread by humans through Oceania by the Lapita culture whose presence spans from 1600-500 BCE. Its use likely goes back 3600-2500 years.
