I have been wanting to try kava kava again but this liver toxiticity thing is plaguing my mind. yes yes i know it was from a bad batch using non roots whatever, but another newer study has said:
So my question is would you know something didn't 'feel right' with your liver before things became irreparably damaged, provided you knew what to look for and were aware of the possibility of such issues going in? So like you could constantly be monitoring and pull the rip chord at the first sign of upset before causing permanent and irreversible damage?
It feels like any option in life you are constantly dicing with death and its only a matter of time before you catch a bullet.
Ive had it a few times now but only one offs. I have been searching for something mild and safe to take on and off on a semi regular/as required basis as a respite from the onslaught of life's letdowns and frustrations etc. So anything taken with any sort of regularity I want to be sure its safe so Im not 'building up' some kind of disease/permanent condition.
I have read reports about liver problems (for either K@ or kava) and it seems alarming how quick they reach a point of no return. Like a cpl of doses and next thing they know they need a transplant and/or die.new research shows that moulds such as alfatoxin forming during improper drying of the roots may be responsible for liver damage: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3269575/
