It is unbelievable to me that a progressive facility like the Mayo Clinic would come out with their recent article against Kratom. Every single source they cite is undocumented opinion not supported with any scientific fact at all. Even the CDC has come out in favor of Kratom. There has been not one single instance of un-contaminated kratom overdose. I wonder which lobbyist visited Mayo on behalf of the FDA. In my opinion the campaign to demonize, illegalize, synthesize and then capitalize on Kratom is obvious.

I agree. I did watch "Leaf Of Faith" on Netflix regarding Kratom as recommended by another member. I believe that maybe the big campaign against Kratom is because it works. Pharmaceutical companies would lose so much money if people started to ditch their prescribed medications and replace them with Kratom. Within the next couple years it will probably be sold by Pfizer, LOL. The healthcare world is about making money and not so much about helping patients. I was told this by one person over the phone. Healthy patients don't bring in the money. Doctors, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, etc. need "sick" patients. Sorry if this offends anyone. It's just my opinion after my doctors ignored what the main problem was for 16 years and now nerve compression of the cauda equina is causing a bunch of permanent nerve damage. I'm bedridden, only leave the house for doctor appts., and am totally dependent on my husband. I'm only 44 and shouldn't be living like this.
