Comments by "Den M" (@denm6893) on "Kratom: Healing Herb or Dangerous Drug?" video.
@Jorge Ramos everything is dangerous taken in high amounts for long periods of time. How dare people take something natural versus big pharma crap. With your attacks and obvious little info about kratom you DO sound dumb. Don't act like you know anything about addicts until you walk a mile in their shoes. Taken in small amounts, I've had zero withdrawals after taken kratom for years. I was an addict for 18 years.

@Jorge Ramos bottom line, stop spewing nonsense while insulting others and fueling a fire that kratom is bad while it helps so many people. Abuse any substance and you'll get undesirable effects. Period.

@harmonymomentofbeing5753 well said

Yep, big pharma needs to step back and let nature help where it can.

@retusbotanical your constant spamming of your website makes me uncomfortable and will never order from you. You add nothing to conversation and seem shady as hell.
4
@retusbotanical since all you do is spam do you actually have a website or is everything through Facebook? Shady as hell. For those looking for a good vendor, try phytoextractum. Legit and in the states.

Proof? Alcohol is proven to cause liver damage. Pharmaceutical pain killers are proven to destroy the liver and kidneys, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and naproxen sodium is proven to hurt the liver and kidneys but can you actually show proof with a peer reviewed study to show how dangerous this "horrific" plant is or are you just another misinformed individual spewing MSM nonsense about a substance that big pharma hates???

Anglo Saxon 100 percent agreed. He's probably got his own vices but bashes others while justifying his own nonsense.

@Jorge Ramos how long on the blues? Sorry bro but withdrawals are only happening if your taking a lot of kratom so keep trying. The problem with the addicts mindset is that you have no accountability in that your abusing said substance. I follow strict rules while using kratom which I did not using pharmaceuticals. Not that I don't believe you but I don't believe you Mr cold turkey...it's crazy, I don't abuse kratom and I don't notice anything when I don't take it.

@Jorge Ramos I've never understood those that can't have a conversation without acting like a child. Grow up man. You tell me to piss off then comment again, lol. Im sure some have minimal withdrawals but thats my point, very minimal and not the dangerous drug you originally blasted about. You behave like an addict to be honest, I used to be one. Also, you posted about being on blues but then say you don't want to put your buisness on here, seriously?

You should try talking with your doctor before spewing rhetorical nonsense and assumptions. I guess I should feel lucky that my blood work has been fine the past 8 years while taking kratom responsibly? You have zero evidence of what you're claiming without even posting how many grams and what product you are using. There are some dirty kratom vendors out there and also people who abuse it should expect side affects that aren't pleasant.

Phytoextractum has been my vendor for years. Great quality, solid consistency and fair pricing. Website explains all strains in detail and they always respond to emails quickly. They are also located in America so there is no shady over seas transactions.

@MEMEMEMEMELOL you sound absolutely ridiculous
2
Not judging as everyone is different but anyone who literally had to go back on opiods to get off kratom has some serious brain chemistry off or ABUSED the hell out of it trying to get high like they were when taking opiods. I can't feel sorry for people that do stupid shit.

I hear all the claims of how bad kratom is, the withdrawals were horrible, stay away! Yet every person who makes these claims fail to say how much kratom they were taking, the brand of kratom, are they mixing in other drugs like drinking alcohol while taking kratom, still on prescription pills while taking kratom, so much info left out but has no problem telling everyone how bad kratom is. If you really want to help others, BE TRANSPERANT while making claims. Not saying anyone hasn't had bad experiences but give the entire story.

@anthonyramirez1856 Thanks man. This clown comes on the attack of others saying nonsense then gets butthurt when someone disagrees with him. Typical of an addict, unwilling and unable to have a conversation. I know, I used to be one. If people want to say kratom is a replacement drug then they are just idiots with zero knowledge on addictions. I guess I'm replacing my DOC with coffee and advil too!!🤣🤣🤣

Well said. I've been using kratom for many years with no side effects or withdrawals. The people on here saying they suffered horrible withdrawals are the ones that abuse the heck out of it.

Don't take kratom to get "high", if that's your purpose then get help. Quality kratom in small amounts can help with so many things including making pain manageable. Its knuckle heads trying to get high thats giving kratom a bad name, abusing the hell out of it and ending up in the hospital. Don't listen to anyone who tells you to take an entire teaspoon, thats ridiculous. Start with 2 grams or 2cc depending where you live. Thats all you need if you have quality kratom. Get a scale so you can accurately dose. Stay out of smoke shops. Find a good online vendor and stick with them. Many out there, I've had great luck with phytoextractum.

Try sweet tea as well, for me its the easiest way to take it. I prefer Milo's sweet tea, it masks the kratom taste quite a bit.

@GenghisCohen257 curious, how much kratom were you taking on a daily basis to require detox and how long of a detox? Im asking generally, not trying to diminish or criticize. Everyone is different but its comments like these that the forces who want to ban kratom hold onto. Its nice to have info associated with claims good or bad. I also think purity/consistency of quality kratom versus bad kratom play a roll. Anyway, glad your feeling better man as any withdrawals suck.
1
@GenghisCohen257 it's the irresponsible ones that ruin it for everyone else. I keep reading your posts about how you suffered, kratom is bad but you still haven't said how much you used to take?

I was a tramadol addict for 18 years. You could be experiencing lingering issues from the tramadol to be honest. It took years for my stomach to get back to somewhat normal. I've been using kratom, 2-3 grams a dose and it hasn't bothered my stomach. I would find a good online vendor to source quality kratom, who knows whats in the cheaper/tobacco store kratoms. I've used phytoextractum for years, hope that helps.

@lillianwisdom8298 I had to get professional help at a rehab center. Unfortunately kratom didn't help much with the tramadol withdrawals as the anti depressant nature of tramadol was excruciating. I tried several times but in the end I was blessed that my family came together to pay for a rehab. I was taking up to 2500 milligrams a day for many years, the doctors couldn't believe my body hadn't shut down yet but I was close. People joke about tramadol but its a very nasty 2-sided drug that consumed me. If you can't kick tramadol with kratom then please my friend, get help. If there's anything else I can help with please ask, I'll check this page daily.

@lillianwisdom8298 I've only ever ordered phytoextractum, its been quality since day one and I prefer white strains. I've tried other brands from friends but nothing compared in my opinion.

@GenghisCohen257 Then there's the answer, you abused it, period. You don't sound belligerent and you can't hurt my feelings. I was an addict for 18 years. You were up to 3 ounces a day and wonder why you had withdrawals yet you come on here blasting kratom when most of us respect it and have no side effects when not taking it. Sorry if I sound belligerent but I can't feel sorry for anyone who does stupid shit then proceeds to tell everyone how dangerous kratom is. I didn't blame the drugs for my addiction or horrible withdrawals, I blamed myself.

@Jorge Ramos replaced my DOC? You sound like a child man. Your talking all over the place now you act like you know me? You have no clue little man. I was a man who knew he had a problem and got help. I don't abuse anything including kratom which is why I never have withdrawals unlike yourself. Just reading through your sentences shows your still an addict with spats of manic attacks. Again, don't abuse your kratom, you won't have withdrawals. It's simple. Kratom saves lives and big pharma destroys them while laughing all the way to the bank.

@anthonyramirez1856 thank you for helping others, the staff I met in recovery were absolutely god sends. It takes a special type of person to dedicate years of helping others. I'm with you, God has put great things in the earth to help all his children. Prayers sent for your son as well! God bless you brother.

@Jorge Ramos How about we just agree to disagree man. Life is way too short to argue in difference of beliefs.

@jayurias2022 look up phytoextractum, its a great retailer. They won't ship to states that have made kratom illegal so I'm not sure where your city lies. In some states you drive to different counties to purchase kratom but it's best to avoid smoke shops and find a trusted online vendor.
