KRATOM AS AN OPIUM SUBSTITUTE - INTERVIEW WITH DR. CHRISTOPHER MCCURDY

Dr. Mercola Interviews Professor of Medicinal Chemistry Christopher McCurdy who is a Top World Expert on Kratom - April 22nd, 2022

With opioid overdose being the No. 1 cause of death of Americans under the age of 50, it's quite clear we need safer alternatives to pain management. Rampant opioid addiction is so significant it has even led to a decline in life expectancy in the U.S.
---
Kratom has been used as a traditional medicine in Thailand and Malaysia for centuries, primarily to boost energy. It also has a long history of use as an opium substitute and to wean off opium.
Kratom contains corynantheine alkaloids such as mitragynine, which interacts with opioid receptors, adrenergic receptors, serotonin receptors, dopamine receptors and adenosine receptors.
---
While the alkaloids in kratom bind to opioid receptors, animal trials suggest the abuse potential of kratom is very low.
---
A compound found in dried kratom leaves, 7-hydroxymitragynine is known to be a fast-acting full opioid agonist that substitutes directly for morphine and can be habit-forming. This compound does not appear to be present in detectable amounts in fresh extracts, so using tea from fresh leaves and/or extracts may be a way to circumvent its addiction potential.
