Kava keeps me going.
I guess this question should really be directed towards @Mrbinx69 - you seem like a really good nutritional guru. I've had ongoing hip pain and nothing has worked for it - from acupuncture to chiropractic to stretching to NSAIDS (which I found I can't take!) So today I went to a holistic practitioner. She did some nice gentle manipulations which felt really good and then started muscle testing for food sensitivities, emotional issues etc. Now, I'm very open-minded about this kind of stuff and she did confirm what a doctor had told me was going on with my hip and sacrum area. She also correctly identified some other stuff that I'd recently had tested - thryoid, vitamin d levels - and previous anxiety issues. So we tested my current supplements - most of them I was sensitive to and shouldn't take, and herbs that would help heal my body. The one "supplement" I forgot to take with me was my kava. Maybe I didn't want to find out I was sensitive to it and shouldn't take it!! Anyway, she says my body is full of fungus (ugh) and all manner of bad stuff that needs de-toxing. Question is - do you think I should give kava a break for a while? There's a lot of food I have to avoid for at least a month and then gradually introduce, and I'm on a regimen of 5 herbal supplements. Oh and one supplement that contains St John's Wort. Oh, and she also thinks I don't have enough acid to digest food properly. Which I would say was correct.
I suppose really I should just suck it up and stop the kava for a month too. But if someone says - oh yea, I had that problem too and continued with kava, then I'd be happy. Alcohol and chocolate is on the list of things to avoid too. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH
