Hi Henry. I really appreciate you always so openly and humbly sharing your thoughts and feelings on all aspects Kava here on the forum, as well as our past email chatter.
You have such experience and knowledge of kava, but I particularly appreciate your totally modest approach to sharing your thoughts and opinions. I think we are all really lucky to have you here as an excellent and reliable sounding board on so many different matters.
Just expressing some personal appreciation anyway which I don't think we do enough in this world, but that's a different matter haha.
So, on topic, your quote here, by any chance, are you referring to beneficial microorganisms for the digestive tract and intestinal flora? I'm very interested deep down on this aspect of kava and how it can possibly positively affect our healthy intestinal flora and to what extent it can work antimicrobially in the intestines.
To me it would be absolutely amazing to learn that kava when prepared properly without too hot water does actually impart beneficial and supportive bacteria into the intestines and if those would be bacterial strains capable of colonising the intestines even better vs transient ones like you get with certain probiotics such as "soil based organisms."
But also when you say "sterile", it seems equally likely to me that you are referring here ear to the possibility of harmful antimicrobial contamination, or at least the presence of of less desirable bacteria which could potentially be problematic for certain people with compromised immune systems.
This is a really big topic I think. I just wondered if you had any particular knowledge or thoughts about this? Sorry to ask of you when I know you are such a preoccupied man but your knowledge is so useful and fascinating to me and I really would like to learn a little more about this subject from a a person I trust has done a lot more learning and research and experience on kava than myself, still a green banana me lol!
Damn guys, I broke my big toe last night checking on our amazing organic, outdoor Autoflowers in the dark to make sure everything was spaced apart nicely and not encroached and I tripped on a flower pot and busted my left big toe.
It was agony all night I literally couldn't sleep despite my herbal and substance intake which should have made it possible to sleep through anything but it has felt remarkably better this evening although very swollen.
Hopefully won't be too bad and will recover fairly quickly but my mum also did a treatment earlier with an amazing device for anybody suffering any sort of pain or injury.
It is an infrared massaging tool all and the infrared is simply amazing at both anaesthetising the area applied and providing surprisingly long lasting pain killing effects like 12 to 24-hours literally after a sufficient application.
The infrared also actually directly and immediately stimulates the healing process of both soft and hard tissue you can literally feel it tingling and vibrating in the worst area after a certain time of treatment. So worth knowing about for those in pain and recovering from injuries I will leave a link below:
Amazon product
Now, this is the model we have have which I can vouch for and is very cheap but I'm not sure it is available on the American Amazon they have an alternative newer model which is probably better but I can't promise that but you may be able anybody interested to find this same model in the USA, if you are looking for something extra to help with severe pain and speed up injury recovery time generally I swear by this device and so cheap as well.
Anyone suffering with a bad back who has a treatment with this device it also has a massaging function which can work alongside the infrared and well it can take an incredibly sore and painful back to a state of glorious comfort and relief and also build strength which lasts again for 24-hours plus.
So one infrared treatment earlier took my foot from constant agony to Barely noticing any discomfort at all unless I step too hard on the toe for a second.
So
@Henry , appropriately I treated myself eventually to a 15 g Aluball double wash of your lovely Kelai kava tonight. Followed by a 17 gram, double wash Aluball of GHK M'oi.
Both very heady. I do love the Kelai. I stocked up on your Palarasul and Borogoru kava, plus others.
And some samples from elsewhere around as I appreciate a full range and spectrum for the contrast of what the Earth has to offer in beautiful plant medicines.
But I still keep itching to order some more Kelai from you lol, I just can't justify it at the moment but hopefully soon, it really is my "cup of kava!"
