Always good advice and I'll add that if you see a new doc who ask what you
are taking, that you also put the herbals on the list. I avoided kava for
the reasons you stated.

May I suggest that anyone thinking of taking any of this stuff consult with
their doctors first?  Either one of these two substances can interact with
any
prescription meds you're taking and could be dangerous.  I stopped taking
Kava
a year ago because my neurologist said my meds would make it dangerous to my
kidneys and also dope me up too much.  So be careful of herbal and other
supplements.
