Re: New here with question on Kava

Try to put KavaKava in Google for a search.

I found it not to be effective anyway when I

tried it....

so probably no loss!

Hi all,I have a 14 yr old with severe autism and being 14, we're dealing with puberty. He's having horrible mood swings and the frustration for him is intense at times. I've been giving him a valerian/passion flower/skullcap/hops/chamomile combo and it helps some. I bought some Kava at the HFS-the label says "promotes peaceful relaxation, reduces stress & frustration" and that just seemed like a dream come true. But when I got home, I saw the warning label about the FDA and a potential risk of rare but severe liver injury and not for persons under 18 yrs of age. I tried to find more info on this but haven't been able to.Does anyone know why the FDA felt it was necessary to decide this?Why is it not for persons under 18? He's about 5'2" and weights maybe 100 lbs. The capsules are from Pharma Kava and 60 mg.(I have been using tinctures but they seemed to be becoming less effective and I was getting worried about the alcohol).I would like to know what happened to who that made the FDA decide we needed this on the label. Who had liver damage and how was it determined that Kava was the cause?Thanks,AnnI am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.It has removed 93 spam emails to date.Paying users do not have this message in their emails.Try SPAMfighter for free now!

Hey Suzie,

Yea, I saw a few other familiar names. His diet is good, no meds. I

started him on a new enzyme that can give an initial reaction. I

think between that, puberty and non verbal autism-he's having a hard

time. I cut back on the enzymes(I'll just go slower on those. His

meltdowns are more intense and I'm just looking for something to take

the edge off till it passes.

Glad to hook up again,

Ann
