Sorry for the repeating last post-it seems though that I'm the only one here excited about kratom. So we decided to stay with microdoses now= 1-2 caps. To make sure we do not get addicted we usually take it 5-6 times a week with 1 week /a month w/o kratom. We have not taken it for the last week with no problems--what's more its effect on dulling pain STAYED. So it may be taken only AS NEEDED

Organic Kratom (red vein) is a great alternative to opiates. My mother had a total knee replacement. She used opiates for the first few postop days, then switched to the kratom with excellent results.
