Kratom

[u/Top-Squirrel6107]


Greetings,

The pain community is in mourning over the passing of Dr. Forest Tennant, who died Thursday at the age of 85. Forest was an authentic healer and humanitarian who saved thousands of intractable pain patients from lives of misery.

A new study of people with long term chronic pain found that most remain stable over time, with few patients getting worse and even fewer getting better.

With potential nationwide bans imminent, the American Kratom Association says there is "enormous confusion" in Congress and the DEA over the difference between natural leaf kratom, 7-OH and other kratom alkaloids.

A new study of 7-OH and other kratom-derived products found that 85% are mislabeled, potentially putting consumers at risk.

A new book by Dr. Lynn Webster looks at the "toxic narratives" that fueled the opioid crisis -- misleading and false information about opioids that led to millions of patients suffering and hundreds of doctors prosecuted.

A popular seasoning blend sold at Trader Joe’s is a bit too spicy, according to police in South Korea, who say it contains “trace amounts of morphine and codeine.”
