Why does Kratom look so bad on paper?

[twindle]

When you look up side effects of Kratom, you're bombarded with negativity. Liver damage, hypogonadism, high prolactin levels, delusions, hallucinations, heavy metals, etc. The list of terrible things is endless.

And yet the people that use it think it's helping them with far less side effects than other alternatives. What's going on. Why does kratom look like such a terrible drug on paper?

A lot of info on side effects are outdated, misconstrued, or just plain made up. Same thing happened with weed, and kava to.

Have you looked at the side effects of ANY pharmaceutical? They are HORRENDOUS! It's just a realm of possible, most do not experience even 1% of the described side effects, humans vary greatly. If you read the side effects of anti depressant or opioid drugs, especially synthetic, it would make your skin crawl. However, their consumption would lead to nothing but addiction in 99% of people, but 1% might get hypogonadism or something weird like that, that is if the proper conditions are met. So, anything within the realm of possible is listed as a side effect, hence the elaborate amount of symptoms which 99% of people would NEVER experience by taking a given substance......

Propaganda also may play a role...

Kratom only causes liver problems for a very small percentage of people. Some people’s livers simply can’t metabolize it. For most people, however, it won’t harm the liver - and if you are one of the unlucky few who can’t metabolize it, the symptoms will show up early.

Haha um mainly bcuz the clowns like the F D A are a bunch of slanderous selfish sociopaths.
Most of “those” side effects are in fact made up!
Bunch of bullshit.
I just roll my eyes when someone says, “oh yeah well I heard Kratom is a drug, and ppl are overdosing on it”. Then I ask them where they heard such a thing and they will confirm about some Google Article. It’s such a joke it really is..
Propaganda at its finest!

Something (Kratom) that works so well, with realistically minimal side effects and produces profoundly beneficial properties and yet... so many lies to keep society away from something that ACTUALLY HELPS US.

Look around on this site, there are very little Posts regarding concerns or detrimental impacts.

At first I can totally understand why these “Lies” might confuse someone. Ive learned that no matter what even if the article is professionally written and from good source it can still be pure bullsh!t.

I’m glad you asked OP!

Nearly ALL mass media is based on lies because it is entirely owned by the corporate-government sector which dictates its policies to the mind dead zombies via stupefying mass media propaganda. People love it. What else is new?

The symptoms are pretty much the same for all liver diseases - fatigue, nausea, dark urine, and then finally yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice). With kratom use, if your liver can’t metabolize it, the symptoms will normally show up in 2 to 8 weeks. But from my understanding, this only affects a very small group of people whose livers can’t handle kratom.

All you have to do is look at WHO is writing the paper kraton looks bad on. Follow the money, i.e. is there incentive, financial or otherwise, to paint a bad picture of kratom (or whatever?) This works with anything in life. Require PROOF, which the people who demonize kratom are very sorely lacking.
