Kratom saves lives
 

My name is Jeanine and I suffer with chronic pain. I was in a car accident in my early 20's that changed my life forever. I went to the best doctors who perscibed opioids and I took them for 18yrs. For 18yrs I struggled with the physical and emotional ups and downs of taking those drugs but without them I was un able to function. I stopped taking opioids 8yrs ago and only take Kratom. Kratom has saved my life. I have no problem not taking it the days I don't need it and I can be productive on the days I do need to take it. Without Kratom I believe opioids would have eventually destroyed my marriage and my career. Because of Kratom I can work and live my life. I don't know what I would do if I had to go back on opioids. Please educate yourself. This is a safe product that has given many people their lives back.
