micronized + crohns question

[Deleted User01]

@jones-in_j. The GHK Micronized is advertised as having the Makas removed from their Noble Kava. Those are the coarse hard fibers that are normally removed when straining Kava Powder. My point being that those fibers can be a source of irritation if not removed. Chris at GHK has told us that up to 50 percent of those fibers are removed prior to processing. So you are getting a dose of pure Kavalactone Laden Kava with extraneous MAKAS removed. In any event, a dose can be a teaspoon up to a tablespoon. I would start with little doses and gauge how your GI system reacts to it.

You guys are awrsome for all the responses

I think I may try first woth micronized thru pantyhose and see how it goes

If effects are good ill stick with it, if not after a few times ill try toss n wash and see how my stomach likes (or more likely doesnt like) it

Fijian strainers still let a lot of sediment in.
WAKACON has a strainer that is kick ass, and gets out all that sediment.
I do the blend and strain, then knead method and use the WAKACON strainer. Works great!
Being you have Crohns, that's is the way I would prepare.
And your best bet is PK's extract, it has absolutely no GI side effects that Ive found.

Do I HAVE to havea blender to use sir kavalots method to make the syrup? Im assuming thoroughly shaking/stirring it probably wouldn't work?...

Any way you can agitate and piss off the kava will work. Shaking YES, stirring well not so much. Some people put there kava in a mason jar and shake the shit out of it.

 

[jones-in_j]

Ok cool... I still havent bought any kava yet, due to the uncertainty of how itll sit on my stomach and the urgency right now to stock up on (that other thing) before its banned, since it helps my crohns soooo much

But I look forward to being able to afford at least a little when tax time comes

And cool, shaking it is!

you don't have any problems with ɯoʇɐɹʞ ?
I found it to often produce some of the deepest nausea I've ever felt...and frequent usage ties your colon in a knot.

 

[jones-in_j]

Dude, I poop 10-15 times a day without it cuz my crohns disease. My stomach hurts ALL day every day, damm near

With it I poop once in the morning and SOMETIMES once at night... and my stomach neved bothers me, presumably due to its pain relieving AND anti inflammatory properties

Its seriously changed my life

And the government wants to fuck my life over real bad by making me not have it. Its wrong on so many levels

If and when it becomes illegal, im seriously giving up on the world.

 

[sɥɐʞɐs]

They should really leave these useful plants alone...there's an endless array of plants out there that are literally poisonous, that they don't care about. But I guess you're a perfect example of them achieving their goal. When they make ɯoʇɐɹʞ illegal, they will be taking something you consider a life saver from you...and leaving with this option:
Buy our pharmaceutical opiates and achieve the same goal, but now we profit and you get a stronger addiction.

 

[jones-in_j]

Exactly. I hate the government so bad. They are so corrupt, dirty and fucked up. The lowest of the low in this country wears a suit and tie and brandishes a briefcase as his weapon of choice

 

[endwatcher]

Disarm and SEDATE.
They would much rather you take a range of addictive "other things" so they have a life long customer "Voting" them in office.

Jones, have you ever done a Detox cleanse and Fast?
and have you tried other herbs or naturopathic means?

Bula

 

[jones-in_j]

No. I want to though. A lady at work is suoposed to bring me contact info for her natural doc who does stuff like that, last I saw her she forgot the number so hopefully todah

 

[jones-in_j]

So an update on this, which I posted elsewhere here but its relevanr to this thread too, and adding one piece of info...

Just got some kava from Ghk, I must say, the owner of this site is the fucking *man*, thank you soooo much dude, no idea how grateful I am

Last night I had between 4-6 tablespoons of the instant makea; or whatever the one with a similar spelling is

the effects were impressive to me! I got a little nauceous for part of it, but that was my fault because I just chugged it, adding 1-2 tabespoons each time I wanted to bump it up, if I did 1-1.5 less tabespoons I think it would a been perfect

The only thing that sucks is I do indeed have more dihahrea (from my crohns) this morning, which I expected, and its not overwhelmingly worse to where im gonna miss work

So unfortunately because of this, kava will definitely not be an every day kind of thing for me

But I enjoyed it a LOT, and with k-----, the dihahrea is very manageable

I will, without a doubt, be ordering some more in the very near future, once ive tried the other varietys I have

Thank you sooopo much to the owner <3

@jones-in_j thanks for the update. Looks like you can handle a little instant. If you sip it nice and easy you might even be able to manage your side effects.

 

[jones-in_j]

Everyone said my doses were really big on the instant. .. and I believe it, the first night especially I was pretty out there haha, that kava was no joke. ... so in light of that, amd most importantly, not wanting to run out of $80 worth of kava in a week, im sticking with 2 tabespoons a night preferably... 4 tops

Once I enjoy something I like to do it every day though lol.... definitely see a patern forming... but im not complaining [emoji12] [emoji106]

This time im doing it along with my aromatherapy instead of to replace it. .. like that one commercial for whatever one says it.... im "expecting great things", lol

 

[Deleted User01]

jones-in_j, let us know how you sleep with the instant. When I do Kava, I look forward to going to bed because I know it will be sweeettttttt.

 

[jones-in_j]

I drink so much water during the day I end up having to get up to piss regardless, but yea I sleep amazingly aside from that, which In hindsight I have no idea why I mentioned it haha
