I orderedMUD/WTR's sleep product, called :rest which contains organic rooibos tea extract, a spice blend (including turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg, and clove), and adaptogens like valerian root, passionflower, ashwagandha, and chamomile extracts, along with turkey tail and reishi mushrooms. This combination is designed to help promote calm and recovery.
I mixed the MUD/WTR REST concoction one hour before bedtime on the evening of December 23. About an hour later I began feeling a very strange and scary sensation throughout the core of my being – one that I never felt before. What happened next is a bit of a blur but I do remember feelings of disorientation, nausea, confusion, vertigo, almost complete lack of balance, and fright that I could pass out anytime.
I live alone and had no one to help me and even if I knew where my phone was, I could not have called an ambulance. The sensations began increasing exponentially so I somehow staggered to my bedroom and flopped onto my bed. Then I passed out afraid that I might be dying. Hours later, I woke up: rook spinning, nauseous, vomiting, but thankful I was still alive. I laid in my bed for hours until the symptoms began to subside. I still had lingering symptoms on Christmas Day.
The MUD/WTR, founder, and CEO, SHANE HEATH, should take the money he puts towards psychedelic research and put it towards extensive research on his own products.
On the MUD/WTR site there are articles about psychedelics. One is titled “talking to kids about psychedelics” and the other is, “healing traumatic brain injuries with psychedelics.” I’ve contacted an attorney and will be taking a telehealth psych evaluation to determine if I may be having any lasting psychological effects from this trauma.
When my mind was clear enough, I reported my experience to a “concierge“ at MUD/WTR.
I received a response stating that my purchase will be refunded, which was done quickly, and I was asked to take a photo of the lot number on the bottom of the can of powder.
The next day I got a message from another “concierge“ asking me to take a survey on how I feel about MUD/WTR. I couldn’t believe it. It was like nothing ever happened.
I suggest anyone interested to go on MUD/WTR’s site and read the shamelessly pretentious promotions. “We’re all family“. A kind of cult vernacular that should’ve been a warning to me. but I thought I would at least give it a try. What a mistake.
