Cameron George, my guest on today's podcast, is a researcher, writer, entrepreneur and the founder of a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety and education around kava within the mass market. TRU KAVA is focused on developing scalable user-friendly products that deliver the full therapeutic action of the traditional kava drink, which is the only form has been highly prized in South Pacific islands for over 3000 years.
Cameron's formula, known as TRU KAVA, is a new patented form of traditional kava and is currently the only mass user-ready kava product on the market that has these subtle psychedelic effects on the mind. Additionally, absolutely no pesticides or industrial chemicals are used at any step of their process. Each batch of kava root is independent lab tested to ensure that it meets all of the previously mentioned quality and safety standards. All of their products are refined and packaged in ready to use very palatable forms, making them extremely versatile and easy for anyone to use.
In this episode, you'll discover:
-Cameron's personal slice of hell suffered at the hands of benzodiazepines (benzos)...
-Why kava kava is not kava in its purest form...
-Concerns about the effects of kava on the liver...

And much more!
