Kava Curious
I kept trying kava for over a week every day trying to get it to work and failing a lot to make it work. Well, after about 7-10 days I noticed my eyes felt like I couldn't keep them open and I had to keep blinking (dry eyes). I found a guy on here who said he gets it really bad and confirmed it was from kava. I stopped trying kava and after about 2-3 max they were 99% better. Then about a week later I was in the shower scrubbing and noticed all my skin on my torso and mid body looked all dry and peeling sort of like I got sub-burn. I was puzzled, but then remembered this may be dermopathy. I wasn't drinking kava anymore by over a week at this point, so it wasn't going to get worse.
I drank my kava from the makas free from GHK, so people who think the makas cause these side effects it isn't. The one thing I do suspect though is that it is the plant matter causes these side effects more than the kavalactones. That makes me think somehow using a finer filter may help. I filter all my kava with knee high nylons just like the GHK guy shows and well known out there. However, I notice that at the bottom of the kava there is a silt like matter that settles to the bottom. I suspect this is the plant matter would be causing the problem if that is the problem causing side effects at all.
I wonder because I know that kava has been made into pharmaceutical product in Deutschland and I don't think it has these side effects after only 10 days. And, I got very little effects, which is why I kept trying.
This makes me wonder if maybe a final pass with some kind of coffee filter may help, either paper or metal or other filter. That would be a good experiment to see if it is more the plant matter fine silt that I talked about that is causing the problem or if it is just some of the actives.
Your thoughts? Anyone know anything about the silt or a finer filter after the knee highs doing moi loi?
Thanks
