Is the Herb Kratom the Real Danger to America's Health?

Should Kratom be the Forbidden Leaf?Why do plants need to prove their innocence, even though people have been using them safely for a thousand years?Synthetic chemicals with a few weeks' track record of not appreciably damaging rat livers get waved through the FDA turnstile, having paid their licensing fee.The TV has tried to portray Kratom as something unsavory, but the same thing could be done with wine -- high-class Sonoma winery or Bowery bum drinking MD 20/20? Which image is the unadulterated truth about this leaf?All kinds of people use kratom -- and the vast majority are hardworking, upright people who prefer kratom to opioid painkillers, benzos, muscle relaxers, etc. Kratom lets them function w/o impairment.Why are we avoiding the obvious cause behind so many puzzling phenomena: Autism, School Shootings, the rise in Alzheimer's, and ADHD?We studiously ignore the elephant in the room, while some herb gets tarred and feathered in the press...for WHAT? For being mildly euphoric?Beer, wine, and cocktails are mildly euphoric, unless you keep drinking and they make you behave stupidly. How is that any different than kratom?But we tried to ban alcohol and it just made things worse -- Sorry, I forgot!When are the people of the United States going to stop being herded like sheep into doing things that give our money to big corporations, like Big Pharma?This could be a tipping point in the unquestioned dominance ofmedicine by the pharmaceutical, high-tech faction. There is a growing resistance by the most intelligent sector of the populace -- choosing organic, non-GMO food, refusing vaccinations for themselves and their children, preferring nutritional herbal, and TCM remedies. In general, not buying the standard crap that pharmaceuticals represent the most advanced pinnacle of medicine.And now, there is this herb that soothes pain, anxiety, depression, and more -- and yet, all the Media can talk about is how dangerous it is to the children and the addiction potential to adults. How stupid!The Media has an undisclosed conflict of interest: They are speaking for their biggest advertiser (Big Pharma). Have you ever seen the TV media run an expose of the children who get paralyzed by the vaccines for flu and HPV? Of course not -- and you won't.I am 65 years old and have watched this country's health suffer over the years. When I was in grade school we never thought about bringing a gun to school and killing our schoolmates. The craziness in our schools has only developed since they began drugging our children for made-up disorders likeand Oppositional Defiant Disorder and the like.We need to stop letting the TV news reporters do our thinking for us. They have an undisclosed agenda -- to support their big, corrupt sponsor and put down anything which naturally leads us back to health, like vitamins, non-GMO foods, and herbs -- such as Kratom.Kratom is only a threat to Big Pharmaceutical company profits. That's what all this propaganda on TV is all about.Kratom is legal now and it should stay legal. Tax it, if you must, but science needs to recognize the medical potential this herb has for improving the health of this nation. Big Pharma has had their chance.
