I'm not sure where to ask this, but am new to the forums here; I have purchased 2 LBs of Wakacon Fijian Kava from Amazon, and I've been searching the internet like mad about info on Kava. I've seen some acetone tests on this Kava from here in the forums and it looked orange-ish. Not really orange but definitely a tinge of orange. Shouldn't noble Kava strains have a yellow hue?? I'm still a little scared, and I noticed that it's been a while since the last acetone test for this vendor. I guess I am just a little apprehensive because I have experienced some side-effects such as nausea and diarrhea, so I'm not sure if this Kava has some bad stuff in it or is mixed with tudei or what...? I'm just looking for some reassurance from anyone who uses this product or has used it. I am thinking about doing my own acetone test but have none on hand at the moment. I've already gone through the first bag with mostly good results, have a bit of patchy skin on my right cheek and my lips are a tad chapped. Other than the nausea and diarrhea, I think I made too strong a brew and drank too much too quickly because I ended up throwing up violently and spend the rest of the day in bed. I used to binge drink alcohol a few years ago, and have since stopped, and do not consume alcohol on a regular basis. I'm still really afraid about the whole liver thing though, even after I've read a ton about it that says it's very rare. It's just natural to be apprehensive sometimes I suppose. I haven't had any severe side effects but just wondered if anyone else had consumed Wakacon Kava or has had an opportunity to perform a more recent acetone test. If I can get hold of some myself, I might decide to perform the test as well. Thanks for any advice, feedback, words of wisdom, etc you may have for me as I am looking for any and every bit of info I can get, especially on this particular vendor.
