Got a call today from an associate, Chengguo Xing, America's most fervent pro-Kava researcher based out of the University of Minnesota.
We discusses the outdated FDA warning on kava, and it's crippling effect on our entire industry from grower to retailer, from Vanuatu to Boston.
We talked about the National Institute of Health grant his team is part of, his years of effort to get the upper echelon of the scientific community interested in furthering Kava research and the unsubstantial liver damage connection. No one in the country knows exactly how the liver is damaged and Chengguo's new research project is to take on this Herculean task on.
I thanked him for his past clinical research. His team proved that kava helps reduce colon cancer cells.
He called for our help in determining what the Kava Industry is worth in dollars per year in the US. so that the right people can see the numbers and approve the new project at hand.
His ears perked when we discussed some stats.
7 years ago when we started our little farmer's market table, there was one kava bar in the US in south Florida and the latest number heard is there are now 11 in South Florida alone!
Here is the task at hand, and we need your help team Kava Lounge!
Find the names, emails and phone numbers of as many kava vendors, kava bar owners, kava farms, retailers, wholesalers, kava tincture/pill manufacturers and anyone else involved in the kava industry, from farming to retail and everything in between.
If you find a name, copy the entire list previous to your post, add the name and then click post.
This way all the information stays in a list.
What happens next? Chengguo thru the University of Minnesota gets Confidential Non Disclosure Agreements with everyone, and starts to build the kava pie in dollars.
If someone refuses to cooperate, they get a phone call from me to better explain the situation. He loved the idea.
He needs solid data to get funds for a new project so we'll help in anyway.
My favorite quote for the Kava industry today has been the same for years now.
JFK's "The Rising Tide Floats All Boats"
Ladies and Gents who are good at searching for stuff online and potential internet detectives; the people of the South Pacific and the people who love kava worldwide need this tide to rise, and it's 'fda warning' shadow to disappear forever. So please help if you care.
Sincerely and with aloha,
Adil Ghiasi
