Health freedom for all
 


Kratom has helped me get my life back and reduce drastically the amount of opioids I was taking for my chronic pain. 
Chronic pain has taken over my life, my sleep, my mental and physical health. As soon as I woke up in the morning I was angry that I was still alive. Because of this pain I felt like a prisoner of war being tortured every single day. 
All I wanted was for my life to end so the pain could stop. I had planned several different ways of doing it, I was just waiting for my only child to finish school. 
I had lost my business, my home, my ability to work or even socialise, I lost my will to live and with it also my marriage. 
Then I was introduced to kratom. It changed my life again but this time for the better. I still have pain sometimes but I can at least work part time and see my family and friends. I’m so grateful to still be here for my daughter. If it wasn’t for kratom mine would have been a very different story. 
Please don’t take that choice away from people. It’s our right to have a say in what we put in our body. An age limit will be fair but not making it illegal!!
I don’t drink, smoke or gamble (which are all legal and truly damaging), yet if you take away my right to use kratom (or make it illegal) as a health supplement my life would have been over by now. This is a great supplement to use when used correctly. Much, much better than alcohol. 
It should be my choice what I put in my own body legally.
