I like social media for numerous reasons. One is the ability to get my business message across with the greatest of ease. Sometimes that means automated, sometimes personal. I make that decision when the right time comes. But I also like it because occasionally one runs into the right person at the right time. Here is an example. As I’ve mentioned on several of my recent blogs, I discovered a healthy herb known as kratom. When I first discovered it about five months ago, all I read was terrible stories of it being as horrible as heroin etc. But the more I read, the more these stories seemed “sponsored” or written by someone with a motive. Over the past several weeks I’ve been chatting with a brilliant young doctor who also has a pharmacy degree and is working on a PhD in chemistry. Of course anyone can say anything about themselves in social media, but most people are easy to research and he was telling the truth. Also I should have known by his amazing master of the English language, especially where it comes to medicine, pharmacology and chemistry he’s amazing, not to mention the original Latin terms of medical procedures, plants (plants were the healers in the early days of medicine). He had a lot of the answers I had about the plant kratom, an organic herb that was finally healing the chronic severe pain of which I’d been suffering for several years. The only other alternative (in my medical community) are dangerous pain-killing drugs. He was the first expert to assure me I made the right move in choosing kratom over those drugs. He also alerted me to the fact that I’m not as isolated a case as I might think. More on that later. I remembered “Reefer Madness” from 1935, now a comedy cult classic, but not so funny given that the government helped sponsor it when science discovered there was a healing alkaloid in it (TCH) and they needed time to make a medicine (to make some money). 65 years later they invented “Marinol” one of the most expensive and biggest loser drugs on the market. It did not and does not work (yet Big Pharma continues to sell it to chemo patients) at about $400+ per bottle in states where marijuana is not legal for medicine. As science learned from its mistakes, the single alkaloid TCH does not work well at all. The full spectrum plant with all its alkaloids are what makes it medicinal. The good Lord, God, Nature, Mother Earth or whatever your name for the gentle grace that grows from the ground to help heal humans already knew the right way to make it. It didn’t need lab scientists to improve it (obviously). So I decided to read the Wiki page on kratom and learned, as I suspected, it too, was being demonized and you can bet your bottom dollar for the same reason. Kratom has several strong healing alkaloids. It is part of the coffee family. It is less habit-forming than coffee, however. Nobody has ever overdosed or reportedly died from kratom. So why are so many people calling it dangerous? I was not alive in 1935 but I studied a good bit about how Hollywood and the media worked hard with the government to demonize it (we all saw “Reefer Madness”) which depicted pot-smokers as serial killers and rapists, and some of the most violent sociopaths alive. It was billed to be more addictive than heroin. I also remember when science discovered that alkaloids in St. John’s Wort could prevent and actually heal the symptoms of depression with little or no side effects compared to the old anti-depressants and newer SSRIs such as Paxil, Prozac etc. I know of the corrupt psychiatrist who did clinical trials on children showing that St. John’s Wort was worthless for depression. He was investigated and found to have embezzled millions of dollars, was tightly connected to Big Pharma and in the children’s clinical trials, all of the St. John’s Wort was placebo (no medical properties). Meanwhile people were being healed all over Germany and much of the rest of Europe on the benign harmless herb. Finally I did some personal research to find that (though just about any herb from oregano to some forms of mint are experimented with by recreational users. That does not mean to ban the herb or suddenly a “drug”. A drug is not a plant. It is a mixture of man-made chemicals and alkaloids from the plant, and more times than not, it is the chemicals that are the bigger issue. So who are the kratom users in the U.S. where it is legal in every state but Indiana (and I think teens cannot get it in Louisiana)? Police, lawyers, doctors, plumbers, Olympic swimmers, pharmacists, students and a whole lot of smart professionals who know better than to take prescribe opioid-based pain killers for intense chronic pain (which I have). Those working to demonize the herb and “turn it into a drug” are going to be highly disappointed when they find the typical kratom user is working in an office, raising a family, and generally a family man or woman or grandparent fighting arthritis, tendonitis, fibro and a myriad of other ailments. Why kratom? Because it works and it works well. It does not cloud the brain, and is very safe. Rick London is an outspoken activist of educating the public regarding natural healing plants vs drugs, spice etc. He has taken a great interest in kratom since he suffers from chronic severe pain and he says the number one kratom is at Kratom-K.com. He likes that (as of this writing) they offer a 10% discount off their already low prices when you type “Twitter” into the coupon code box at checkout. He is an author, songwriter, designer, and cartoonist. He is best known for his Google #1 ranked offbeat cartoons and funny gifts and tees.
