I can talk to Dr. Schmidt about it too since he is.. well, very involved with this development of the Codex and is close with Dr. Bittenbender in regards to the development of this Codex standard.

I tried to keep up with it for a while (around a year ago..?) and it kept getting edited back. It was literally impossible for me to keep it "accurate" but if we can have a group or people decide to form some sort of "cleanup organization" where each person has the duty of watching it for a day...

Whoa that is most definitely way too much moisture. Incidentally, the kava pictured in the photo (in the measuring spoon) is Solomon Islands... I know it's not spread out but it gives you some idea plus of course, you have all the experience with all the other kava so you probably know it's...

Well I've got both genes, well if you consider that i was conceived on kava :p I'm glad to hear you're getting the good effects and from such little amounts. Always makes me jealous to hear those things but you're the lucky one!

It sounds like when you started to actually feel things ("starting to experience it after about a month"), that was just the beginning of the reverse tolerance.. If you are down to only 2tbsps, you are truly a lightweight and @Vekta will be here soon shouting that he is the strongest...

@Blackcherry Firstly, I wouldn't trust Kona Kava for... well, anything. That being said, just check the French laws. http://www.loc.gov/law/help/guide/nations/france.php http://www.frenchlaw.com/criminal_law.htm http://www.law.georgetown.edu/library/research/guides/frenchlegalresearch.cfm...

Usually, dermopathy will present in that area (on your flanks) and then it might spread (even if you stop drinking kava) and then it will start to clear up in the order in appeared. That can all be avoided if you jump on it right now and get some AmLactin on that stuff!

Sorry guys, I guess I didn't take into account my tolerance (being able to tolerate them, not 'tolerance') to antihistamines. That being said, I still think that it's worth a shot at the end of the day since it can make you drowsy. The problem with topical creams is that they would only treat a...

It seems the best kava right now is definitely coming from Gourmet Hawaiian Kava. I'm sure Chris @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava will be willing to help set you up with what you want!

It's okay to drink noble kava every single day without any issue other than some dry skin which we call "kava dermopathy" which is totally harmless and can be very well treated, especially if caught soon. I think you might be misinterpreting reverse tolerance. What it means is that some people...

Also, they seem to be a "front" for "KONA KAVA" which everyone should avoid with a 10 foot pole right now... :rolleyes: Better to just get your kava from our wonderful vendors themselves! (y)

I would recommend very strongly against getting kava from amazon, eBay or the like

Unfortunately, I did some testing showing that GAIA Herbs' Kava Extract might not be noble. It is a tad bit pricey, but it is because he only gets a 50:1 yield on his extractions. So, for every 50 grams of root, he gets 1 gram of extract. Also, the supercritical extraction is not cheap, but it...

I just noticed this on their website in their description for "Vanuatu Isa/Tudei specialty kava" "Isa/Tudei is speculated to be "piper wichmanii" one of the original wild strains from Papua, New Guinea and Vanuatu." I don't know if you want to be getting that Emoticons that show my face when...

Might as well just go straight to a BSL-4 lab ;)

The vast majority of capsule companies use organic solvents for extraction which is not ideal, as they extract compounds in the root that water does not, and importantly, do not extract a very important compound in kava that helps protect the liver (glutathione). Also, there is the issue with...

Welcome! Just a word of caution but I have always expressed concern over kava that is sold through places like Amazon or ebay and the like and recently a member got a bad batch of kava from Amazon. At least we have a very simple test for testing kava for being tudei or noble, which you can...

Well, if you are willing to pay top dollar... http://www.lktlabs.com/products/Kawain-710-0.html then google "DIY Time Release Capsule" and you should come across a site that has some good information on how to do it...

Again, I don't want to speak for him but I think I can safely say that, basically, what he is working on is quantifying the levels of orange, yellow, etc in a given acetonic extract's supernatant. Therefore, with his work, he can get a "number" for the sample's "orange-ness", for instance.
