I'd really like to engage my wife with kava, but she has read enough to be scared of it. She's a doctor's kid from a medical family and is very suspect of anything that doesn't show irrefutable proof using well documented, well controlled double blind studies with large test populations.
How might I go building a case for kava and allaying her concerns? Either in refuting previous studies that have shown toxicity, or in providing substantial positive proof that toxicity is not common? These studies would have to be pretty high-falutin', and would need to be very recent to hold water for her.
Having such a resource would then be invaluable when introducing others to kava.
I could embark on a research project of my own, but I'm no doctor, biochemist or liver specialist. I don't want to spam her with 50 studies and say, "Read all these, and be enlightened" either.
Thoughts?
