Keep this medicine!
 

I am a strong advocate for the Kratom leaf and the medicinal purposes it has. I have Myositis, IBM, of which there is no cure and just as frightening, no treatment. I deal with chronic and acute pain daily. I lose muscle mass percentage on top of that pain and inflammation rules my world. I have been on prescription pain medication and was not feeling well after some time using them. I had to be tapered off because of the addictive attributes of the medication. I can across Kratom leaf strains and have found relief. I use it for the days I'm unable to get out of bed and also to help with the depression and anxiety brought on by my medical conditions. I support this medicine for the thousands upon thousands of people it helps and very many close friends who it has changed their life. It is a safe and effective way towards a road to a healthier and happier life for many and should be considered an advancement towards healthcare. Learn more about it, meet those who can testify to it's effectiveness, and give a voice to those who no one ever listens to; the sufferers who are standing back up for their health, despite doctors giving us no options.
