Kratom is the only thing that helps

I have been suffering pain and nausea from chronic pancreatitis for 7 years. I have tried every prescription drug available with little to no relief. Kratom tinctures and dried leaf powder have been the first thing in about 2 years that have given me relief. It’s not easy but I’m still trying to hold down a job as a computer tech working for the state of Alabama. I’m sick and barely able to move more days than not. Kratom is the first thing that gave me relief without the confusion and brain fog of narcotics. I can say with certainty it doesn’t make you high like morphine or Oxycontin. It leaves you much more alert but still lets you sleep.

Kratom helps me with depression and pain

I am a 35 year old Paralegal and mother of 3 kids. I have actively taken Kratom for over 2 years now. I had a full hysterectomy when I was 28 which put me into early menopause and it seemed from there depression set in. Juggling 3 kids and a full time job all the while going through menopause was a living hell. Doctor’s had prescribed anti-depressants which either never worked or made me a complete zombie. Then I discovered Kratom and I though why not I will give it a try. Kratom keeps me balanced and rational during this rough patch that I am going through and is also very effective when it comes to aches and pain. It has changed my life tremendously and being a natural research fanatic due to my job, I have conducted my own research and can tell you that from what I have discovered, no one has ever overdosed nor died on Kratom alone. I want to thank you for protecting this wonderful plant and hope that this testimonial aids in the fight to keep Kratom legal.

Helps with my struggles with depression

I have struggled with depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia for years. I discovered kratom about two months ago and honestly this herb has been more helpful than my prescription antidepressants. I cannot believe there are people who spread lies and want this wonderful herb to be banned. I am very happy you guys are involved in the fight to keep kratom legal and I would like to do whatever I can to help.

A Life Enhancement

I’ve suffered from anxiety and OCD since I was a kid, and I recently had a 3 month long ‘episode’. I was depressed, anxious, and had little to no motivation.

Then I came upon the natural herb known as kratom. I decided to try it. Long story short, I have been using it for three months every single day and have completely wiped out my anxiety. You do the math.

I feel more focused. I feel more motivated. I feel happier. I am more productive. I have even started a profitable business in the last couple months–and a good deal of credit goes to kratom.

And guess what? Not one single side effect. Not one. If used properly, tolerance is not an issue, and neither is addiction. I went on vacation for two weeks and stopped taking it. Nothing even resembling ‘withdrawal’.

Kratom is a plant. It is not debilitating. In fact, it enhances your life and helps you improve yourself. No impairment like alcohol, no laziness and sloth like marijuana. Kratom is absolutely a safe and effective herb.
