Kava Curious
Many kava drinkers work for kava, also in the form of associations. Of course It gives results, but misinformation, myths, and false accusations still hold strong. We have knowledge, evidences, but we have small ranges. Meanwhile, misinformation has a very wide ranges. Even in the US, many people still believe that kava harms the liver. It is much worse in Europe, where the authorities that want to decide what people can consume and therefore decide on the lives of others believe it (or pretend to believe).
However, maybe we are able to fight myths in a new way. Reach a mass audience with simple messages. On billboards, on the radio, TV, Internet, maybe some leaflets, brochures. In all these materials, there should be a link to the foundation's website with the collected content and with links to scientific sources, etc.
This requires funds that the foundation could raise.
I know that the kava community doesn't have huge sums. However, maybe business, exporting countries as well as common kava drinkers can jointly donate amounts that allow for some activities.
Possible campaign content:
against the myths (certainly against bad for liver mith, optional other myths):
- no liver problems caused by drinking kava in many places around the world (USA, New Zeland, Oceania etc.)
- the position of the WHO
- kava safety compared to other herbs / supplements, idiosyncratic cases
- criticism of the alleged cases from Germany
- the loss in court of a german institution that accused kava of being harmful to the liver
and:
- how kava helps many people, changes their lives for better
- kava as an alternative to harmful and dangerous substances
- famous people drinking kava
