There’s even reports of potential benefits of kratom (a plant from S.E. Asia, that’s become popular in the US over the past 5 years) where it contains compounds similar to chloroquine, naturally occurring and has been proven to have some immunostimulant properties. Not to hint that it could be some sort of ‘cure all’, but at this point everything should be on the table; thankfully that seems to be Trump’s attitude as well.
Edit: As a commenter below accurately pointed out, please do not misread this as an endorsement for kratom. It can have many downsides and negative impacts for people who may think it’s harmless just because it’s a naturally occurring leaf. It can be very addictive, and no one should even consider trying it without consulting a medical professional first, much less in the midst of what’s happening now. Trust your doctors, nurses, etc, do not trust an internet stranger under any circumstances.
Correct, I’m very aware and fine with its downsides, but it’s worth it for everyone else to see, as I didn’t intend to encourage anyone to consider kratom especially without consulting a medical profession. You are right, it can be highly addictive. Physical withdrawal symptoms, although not as bad as a lot of other things, it is something anyone considering it should be very aware of. I appreciate you pointing that out, I should’ve mentioned it’s not extremely well studied and is for the most part, unregulated in this country, I should edit my comment above. Mainly, I just wanted to convey how this administration seems to be open to anything that shows promise as long as it’s safe. Thanks again for adding to that.
I believe you may be making the mistake of believing those with addictive genes experience things like you or I. I can smoke a pack a day for a month and quit cold turkey with no issue. I can use meth, oxy, and heroin with similar "quitability". It's not because of my superior will, it's just genetics.
For evidence, you need only look at the opioid epidemic among 40 year old middle class soccer moms, and while many became addicted, most did not. It wasn't by chance that the rate of addiction roughly equaled the expected distribution of addictive genes.

Be very careful kratom is highly addictive. took it for anxiety for a few months from time to time because of a friend's recommendation.
I eat well and lift but holy shit the slippery slope. Took me weeks to feel normal after cold turkey.
Found out later it uses the same receptors as strong opiates.
Be very fucking careful offering this advice
