Kratom & The Immune system

Can long term use of Kratom affect your immune system? I noticed when I add alcohol usage I catch all kinds of viruses. Shingles in 2021. Tonsillitis in 2022 and most recently a prolonged cold or flu. Like clockwork, illness seems to come after heavy or continuous days of alcohol consumption. I have all the flu, pneumonia, COVID vaccines. Definitely not a coincidence. I’m going to take some time off from Kratom dosing for awhile to see if I can build up my immune system. Waddya think? Thanks

Finding kratom in Cozumel Mexico

Hi Joey. Just curious if you have any knowledge on where one might find Kratom to purchase in Cozumel. I’m on a cruise ship docked here and I could run out before I get back home. I did my research and it is legal in Mexico. Any suggestions on where to locate it? I’m thinking about finding a local head shop. I doubt a pharmacy would have kratom. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Have you tried the Krabot Flavored Stick Packs?

Have you tried the Nutraspec Kratom stick packs from Krabot? Im going to do a little traveling this weekend and I ordered some and looking foreword to trying it. Im going to be coming off of my taper tomorrow and was wondering if you can compare how many grams of regular Kratom equals to one of these stick packs. Since my tolerance should be lower I don't want to chug a glass of this stuff and get hit too hard.

Taper off extracts UGG!

hOW THE HECK DO i DO THIS?? I want to get my "feels" back. I feel like I'm living for K and it's making me very unhappy. I was at 4-5 opms caps per day, down to 2 caps and 2 alk 40 tabs per day. I'm not sure where to go from here? I know I just need get off the extracts and back to just powder but man getting there is HARD! And what do you think the ratio comparing opms gold to alk 40 tabs is? Like 2 tabs would equal 1 opms cap? I'm just trying to plan my taper. Can you help me? I am a paid member ;) Thanks J!

Amount of Kratom

I found Kratom approximately 1 year ago, at our local smoke shop. Dude recommended I start off with 10 capsules. I did, and have been increasing. With that said, ordered from Tusk, now onto Kabot , which is the best! So thank you for that! I take the capsules in the am, with coffee… I usually take 10-15 . What’s your thoughts on the amount? I’m maybe getting a little concerned, but I’ve been watching you, and trying to figure out if I’m on the high end, or low??? Thanks for sharing! Love ya

Do you include Stem & Vein in your Kratom Journal?

During tapering down to reduce tolerance, when taking a half dose of Kratom and the other half dose of Stem & Vein do you log only the amount of Kratom taken or do you log the total amount of both Kratom and Stem & Vein? For example if you usually take a dose of 3 grams of Kratom but to taper down and reduce your tolerance you start taking 1.5 grams of Kratom and 1.5 grams of Stem & Vein, would you log in your journal that you took 3 grams or just 1.5 grams? After reading your books and watching your videos on Stem & Vein since you mention it has totally different alkaloids would it be wise to not count it as Kratom grams taken for that serving/day? Maybe even have a separate journal for Stem & Vein all together?

Nootropic Nose Spray

Watched a video of your from a year or more ago. It was a nose spray that you said was your second favorite nootropic. Odd that you never bring it up anymore and wondering why or if you had a change of heart.

Kava & Norco

I am anticipating a knee replacement in a couple of weeks. I know that you have said not to mix opiates with Kratom but what about Kava? Could I use a little Kava while I am on Norco for a couple weeks after the surgery.

Panic attacks & Kratom?

My question is Has anyone else had panic attacks while taking Kratom? For some reason, me and my brother when we take Kratom we either feel really calm but focused or super panicky and super high feeling. I took it the other night, then woke up in the middle night with the worse panic attack I’ve had to date. I kept forgetting what was happening, but I was also super groggy and loopy. I drove myself to the ER cause I thought I literally “broke my brain.” It felt like a mix of panic, depersonalization and almost like a blacking out feeling? I was really confused cause it’s provided me so many benefits then other times this happens and it’s the complete opposite effect. I felt like I didn’t know what was happening. I did take 5mg of melatonin so I could fall asleep 2 hours after consuming Kratom. I took 3 x 750mg white Borneo but I’ve taken the red ones as well and still have had the same reaction to it. I basically threw all my Kratom out cause I was so terrified. This is probably the 3-4th panic attack I’ve had while taking Kratom. I have had similar panic attacks with other drugs and do have a history of them. Also, any advice to be able to take Kratom without this happening ? It does wonders for me for focusing and being alert as I am normally extremely tired and lethargic.

Agmatine Advice

Hi Joey, I've seen your video on agmatine and I'm currently using this as I'm trying to get off Phenibut which is causing a big hell for me but I'm getting there slowly. My question is: Does agmatine have to be taken 30min before your kratom dose to work or don't it matter as I take agmatine morning and night everyday with my phenibut but was wondering would it still be amplifying the effects throughout the day regardless. Im waiting for my kratom to arrive again so yet to test it out but thought to ask. Cheers mate
