In his early twenties, TRU KAVA co-founder Cameron George developed a severe autoimmune/nervous system condition that rendered him temporarily disabled and unable to work or function at any level without assistance.  The condition had also led him to develop an array of debilitating symptoms, such as overwhelming chronic fatigue, severe cognitive deficits, constant anxiety, insomnia, and convulsions that inhibited his ability to recover at any degree.

This eventually led him to discover the amazing medicinal benefits of "true" KAVA, a powerful plant-based anxiety reducing nootropic drink from islands in the south pacific. After beginning to experiment with kava himself, Cameron soon realized the therapeutic effects of this plant medicine can be nothing short of miraculous when the right material is sourced. Cameron later became the co-founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around kava within the mass market.
