I was diagnosed with cancer 4 yrs ago. I've been in remission for 2. I was unable to the opiates for pain. My body wouldn't tolerate it. I would constantly vomit. I found kratom and my pain was instantly received. It also helped with inflammation and strengthened my immune system. I'm not the only one. There are thousands this plant has helped. Also despite what I've heard you don't have to keep taking more tp get thr same relief. I've been on the same amount since I started using it.
