This video made me the MOST HATED man in the Kratom community 😡 they did not take my reasoned criticism well! But there is some reason for optimism, in 2020 we finally got A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study on Kratom and Pain Tolerance - a collaboration between Yale School of Medicine and a Malaysian university. The study involved just a 1-day inpatient stay and 26 male subjects, but it's a good start. And in 2024, we've got a quantum more of too-little-too-late science done Kratom, a clinical trial of 12 Americans was completed.

Especially when it comes to Kratom, as I say in the video, wherever the financial incentives create moral hazard, you need to look for evidence of quality.
