    If you see
    strange/odd/new words about health/food,
    keep at least a mile from it.

    Do not be enticed by it.
    Instead, be repulsed by it.

    Don't need to know the 3Ks.
    But make sure you know the 1K -
    Karma - What goes around, comes around.


    Trading and health/food are very similar;

    trading - every now and then, there are new words/indicators.

    health/food - every now and then, there are new words

    I might give kratom a shot but kava seems pretty bad. Fly agaric is something I can pick myself and I know from my teenage years that kids used to trip on that. This was before it was ever a global phenomenon.

    1. For a newborn, every word is strange, new and odd.

    2. There is no karma.

    Funny thing about kratom is that it is banned in Indonesia where it is natural vegetation. Farmers have been chewing its leaves for decades for energy and pain management.

    Its taste is close to a catpoop rolled up in dogshit. It also doesn't mix very well in liquid. So taking it has its challenges. But its properties (energy, pain, relaxation) are quite unique. Big Pharma is working hard on banning it because who needs competition? It also can cause constipation, but that can be a desired effect for some...

    There was an excellent documentary on Kratom a couple of years ago on Netflix.

    Big pharma is pushing the heavy opiates hard. In the 80s it was Escobar, in the 2000s the role was taken over by American drug companies. Everyone heavily addicted to fentanyl, benzos and whatnot - all good stuff, at least for profit margins, not for much else.
