Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Can anyone refer me to info or articles that says that Kava Kava has been causing some serious liver damage? The latest rumor is that the FDA is considering pulling it off the market due to that, and it's a real issue for me, as I had hepatitis when I was a teen, so must pay attention to things that stress the liver. I currently use it as an anti-anxiety herb, and often take it daily 1-2 times. Tamara and the Zoo " Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Hi Tamara, I've been doing a bit of digging for you after hearing a couple of weeks ago that Kava Kava is being pulled off the shelves in the UK. Try this from last year's BMJ: http://bmj.com/cgi/content/full/322/7279/139 This article also cites some Medline articles but I haven't checked those out. Also: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_1718000/1718164.stm HTH - even if it isn't what you want to hear....( Love, light and peace, Sue " Do not judge your neighbour until you walk two moons in his moccasins " - Cheyenne proverb > > daniel dormer [tedorm58] > 06 January 2002 18:04 > Alt answers > Kava Kava and liver damage > > > Can anyone refer me to info or articles that says that Kava Kava has > been causing some serious liver damage?
