Kratom vs ineffective pharmaceutical drugs for UC
 

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis in 1992, four years after serving in the US Air Force leaving with an honorable discharge under the Graham Rudman amendment. The Drs I saw over the next 26 years had me on everything from sulphur drugs, Prednisone and finally biologics to try and find a cure. These had many side effects which were negative and some like Prednisone just made life miserable. When increasing the biologic dosage to twice the suggested dosage didn't work, My Dr took me off the medication and was contemplating another course of treatment. At this time I chose to try an alternative method of treatment including kratom and other natural herbs to alleviate my UC symptoms. To my surprise and and thankful relief kratom worked better for me than any prescribed meds with little to no side effects. Keep kratom legal it's helping to keep many people with difficult health conditions functioning and productive ?? thank you and God bless ??
