Cameron shares his all too familiar story of a young and healthy individual whose health, all of the sudden, seems to betray them. He dealt with brain fog, memory loss, depression, multiple chemical sensitivities, severe gut issues, seizures, extreme reactions to food and water, and debilitating fatigue. He had tried many different western and alternative medicine options. So many things promise to be the panacea but did not help. Once he tried treating multiple systems at once, he started to make progress. The use of Kava in combination with other therapies made the biggest difference. Kava has mild entheogenic effects similar to psilocybin. Kava promotes calm, focus, interconnectivity, mental clarity, and so much more. In many cultures it’s used as a community drink much like alcohol is in our culture. Kava is non-addictive and does not throw your body out of balance as alcohol does.
One of the biggest fears many people have about kava is the potential liver damage we hear about. Cameron covers the reasons why that is not an issue especially with the whole plant synergistically like it was traditionally meant to be used. Many people know that with CBD they react better when using a full spectrum product so it makes sense it would be the same with Kava.
