I am a 53 year old man, married to the same woman for 25 years, same job for 26 years, two successful children in college.  I have taken kratom for 12 years, to help with anxiety in the way no medicine helped. I lead a very normal life,

but anxiety meds did not allow the same freedom. I have tried several and was lethargic, gained weight etc. Only kratom allowed me to function as normal.  I have had blood tests every 120 days for each of those 12 years and those tests have shown no ill results.  I have to have tests because of the triglyceride medicine I am on. 

I read these claims about Kratom being dangerous and I become frustrated because these stories are coming from people who do not take it and who know nothing about it. Anyone claimed to have died from kratom also had other drugs in their system they were abusing. The same claims can be made about Tylenol and most every item one can ingest but it’s not true! One could never accidently overdose on kratom because of the amount required. You would need to ingest a kg or dry powder. Anyone who takes Kratom knows you would never be able to do that.  These are lies cooked up by the pharm industry because people like me who use kratom do not give money to them for their drugs. The medicines I was prescribed were way more addictive and turned me into a zombie so I couldn’t work or interact with others. 

Kratom saved me. Please do not do this!
