HUGE and great news for the American Kratom Society. If you're ignorant on the beauty of this plant, please go to te AKS website and read the science.
WHY did he resign? Answer after quote:
>That was unexpected, including by the FDA, apparently.
>FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb resigned today, an administration official tells The Washington Post, adding that Gottlieb will relinquish the office in one month.
>Unlike many people who leave the Trump administration, the resignation wasn’t sought or expected, reports the Post, which notes Gottlieb has recently hired senior staff and has been actively and aggressively diving into new initiatives.
(((GOTLIEB))) had a major financial interest in a company that developed a synthetic Kratom. However, it would never be a viable product as long as the natural plant was available. SO, (((GOTLIEB))) used his position at the FDA to pressure the DEA to ban Kratom! It got ugly. They started holding shipments, doing all kinds of squirrely things to vendors, and harassing people. The nationwide ban effort failed. Then (((GOTLIEB))) using fake and junk science started pressuring the states to ban it individually. He's been a very very busy beaver.
I've used Ktom for years now for intractable pain, it is the only thing that gives me zero side effects but total pain relief. This plant is a member of the coffee family, it is NOT an opiod. I cannot take opiods at all, and in y case long term use of prescription drugs would have either made me an addict or ruined my organs.
6 years, same dose twice a day (1 tsp) and an additional dose if things are horrible. I was genuinely horrified that (((GOTLIEB))) was going to get away with it. The AKS has grown huge as more and more Americans switch from harmful NASAIDs and opiods.
I sincerely hope that when POTUS appoints a new FDA head, he makes it clear to them to leave our plant medicines alone! I am currently having more success on a "natural" chemo than a friend is on that poison shit. They know…my friend's treatment is going to be over a million plus, mine? Maybe 60 bucks total. SRSLY.
Please don't make me into a felon for merely using a plant that gives me amazing pain relief with ZERO side effects. (((GOTLIEB))) wanted to make it schedule 1….a felony. Overnight that corrupt selfish piece of shit wanted to change me from a regular law abiding citizen into a felon…over coffee plant leaf.
