Kava
Hi there! I know you've done a small blurb on Kava for anxiety, but requesting if you'd be willing to look at it more deeply? There's conflicting evidence about its potential negative effects on the liver. I'm noticing Kava bars opening up (with fun names like Kavasutra) and prepackaged drinks in the stores. I tried some at a kava bar and can attest that the effects were very similar to MDMA - but smaller and only lasting an hour at most. I'm wondering if it is as safe as these companies would have me believe. (Especially when I see the same bar serving Kratom). So, would you please help us understand if this is safe or if there are down sides to large doses per one evening done occasionally? Lots of appreciation, Juls
Nasal Rinse
I occasionally use a netty pot with a saline solution to relieve symptoms when sick, to perhaps reduce sickness when rinsing at the first indication of a cold, and to relieve seasonal allergies, all to good effect, I think. In light of your recent oral health episode, I wonder about the micro biome in the sinuses and nasal passages. Specifically the effects of nasal rinsing, especially what is used to rinse. More or less salt, temperature, baking soda, and highly diluted hydrogen peroxide. Does the science support nasal rinsing, and if so, what might be the better solutions or method to use?
CGM
What is the easiest one to get and is there any reason you would be denied getting one? I was told no in person once, because I didn't have diabetes..my blood work was prediabetic though. So not sure what the requirements are or if this was just a picky doctor maybe? I think it'd help a lot for my situation. Thanks a lot!
