Kava and its Toxic effects -scientific studies Dr Pramil, MD, MS, FACP

[@bigglesharrumpher4139]

Using the correct kava roots eliminates any liver toxicity. Unscrupulous sellers would use the toxic part of the plant and sell it as real kava, hence the original issue. Once normal testing and packaging protocols are introduced, as in Australia , recently, the kava was cleared for import. Australia is VERY wary about things like possible liver toxicity, as is the USA, so there is very little chance of such liver toxicity issues. Put it this way - ALCOHOL is WAY more dangerous for you and your liver. Funny how it is still allowed to be sold!

Not a clear review of the research on Kava, the European liver damage cases seem to point at extraction process, poor quality raw materials, and use of variety not permitted. The statistics of adverse effects are extremely low, especially if compared to acetaminophen, cause of liver damage in the USA.

Was the variety not permitted the tudei kava?

This is an absurd, out of date video by an individual who is not up to date about traditional kava beverage. In 2020 the Kava Standards were published within Codex alimentarius "safe food" of the World Health Organization and UN FAO. Based largely on the WHO 2016 report which concluded noble kava beverage is safe. The liver issue was addressed and has been shown to be false (for aqueous noble kava beverage) scientifically and in a German court.

THANKS FOR THE COMMENT. We Follow Scientific literature and This is purely based on scientific studies. Every drug every medicine including alternative medicine have some complications. They may be rare and public needs to know

[@ChemicalEnhancement]

I appreciate the backup!

[@ChemicalEnhancement]

@@researchmd I'm sorry for cussing and sounding argumentative. I'm a fan of people being informed of even rare risks, but this video is misleading to someone who hasn't done the research themselves.

[@Liggy]

Haha dude kava is dangerous for some

[@razadaza9651]

Just keep away from this, I still see what this does to people, not good..

[@necrogenesis1981]

How are euphoria and sedation considered complications? Everyone wants to feel good.

Kava has good effects but in my experience: *Bad rashes *increased anxiety after the effects wear off Positives * feel happy go-lucky without being drunk or high * feel better at conversation * feel warm and fuzzy, can also make me feel energetic

I started taking small doses of kava daily almost two months ago, and now I'm suffering from a severe rash, swollen lymph nodes in the back of my neck, and mild headaches. It took a couple weeks for the rash to come on. Initially I thought it was a new soap that I was trying causing the rash. I put creams on it and the rash almost went away, but this week the rash has flared up all over my body, and my face is slightly puffy. It has to be the kava. It's the only change I've made in my life recently. I'm really bummed about it, because I really liked the effects, at first. But now the negatives outweigh the benefits 😞.

Exactly the same over here. But it took only two weeks.. I was aware about people having skin rashes from kava. Never expected this after only 2 weeks. It started suddenly 3 days ago. Upper body. I quitted inmediatly. Hoping Its gone soon cause I'm going hiking. Heat intensifies the itchiness. I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck. Thinking the worst cause I was't aware about that part. My kava was noble kava from the new Zealand kava society.

[@patrickrankin4476]

Review any other medications that might have interaction with Kava as that is usually the cause except for a very few who are genetically sensitive.

[@Alex-yb2pq]

Me 3. Drinking Kava was nice effects but makes me itchy and rashes.

[@Followyourpassions]

​@@patrickrankin4476nope, allergic reaction.

[@Followyourpassions]

@@Alex-yb2pq yep, my second allergy reaction was a lot worse. Just to be sure I tried kava again. Well, I'm sure now 😂. Sad, kava was good for my anxiety.

[@allym.8310]

I have been drinking it and now i’m feeling nauseous for almost 2 weeks. I need help in treatments for this side eeffect. Please reply

[@researchmd]

Kindly consult your doctor for any medical questions. Thank you

[@Liggy]

Out of date info from a 2016 report. Haha good one 😅 are u a kava addict or something

[@RosalindR-l6q]

This is fantastic, watching my hives and inflammation dissolve every day until it all disappeared was definitely appeasing, I went with what I mentioned and after 20 days my urticaria disappeared. I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and now my skin is as smooth and healthy as it has ever been!
