From what I have read, people in Australia have been using this a great deal, much more so than folks in the US. I'd trust numbers or warnings from them on this, but not the FDA. I honestly think they are just trying to ban another enjoyable herb.

Yes I have taken it, yes it works, and so does my liver still.

Anyone ever watch Endless Summer II?

Kava kava is widely used without liver disease

Certainly it should be used in moderation like any food or herb. And, yes, it works.

i'd rather take a nap or do something else. exersize is proven to work against stress and good in many ways. ppl think since herbs are natural they are safe just think how many natural things can kill ya. don't know the real side effects of kava right now so i'd rather not be the one to find out.

I tried Kava Kava, St. John's Wart, and Ginseng (not all at the same time). One of them made me not care about anything, one of them made me horny as hell, and one of them turned me red all of the time. I just can't remember which one (although I'm pretty sure Ginseng added the spice to my life).

Although I sound like I'm kidding, I'm totally serious about all of the above!
