Yaqona over alcohol

Taitusi Sokiveta, Phoenix, Arizona

I believe that the consumptio­n of yaqona does not cause stroke.

The American Chemist changes the liquid form of yaqona into solid and it becomes pills called Kava Kava.

If you have high blood pressure and you always having stress or anxiety attacks often elevating your blood pressure The American Doctors will write up a prescripti­on. You take it to your local pharmacist or herbal medicine store and pick up the Kava Kava pills.

I have seen it in operation with people with high blood pressure and anxiety and who have taken the Kava Kava pills to calm them down.

Yaqona consumptio­n on a large scale will require you to exercise a lot the next day. This can be in the form of perhaps walking three to five miles or going to your farm and sweating it out. You need some form of physical activity to let the yaqona out of your pores.

The only thing is double and a change of body odour when you start sweating. That' the only problem with too much consumptio­n.

Now alcohol is a different story. Too much alcohol causes cirrhosis of the liver colon, stomach and esophagus cancer. Alcohol also damages your urinary tract, stomach. Bleeding that can cut open your stomach resulting in sudden death.

Alcohol is the main cause of road fatality here in the United States. People who consume alcohol a lot and they stop become what they call a Dry Drunk Syndrome.

They go crazy with a flare up of bad temper. Anger sometimes accompanie­d with violence and families receive the brunt of this behaviour because they are the closest to being alcoholic.

But yaqona does not harden your arteries. Yaqona is a safe exercise but continue physical activity and if you are 67 like me, do walk a lot.
