My wife Lee and I had just hiked North Mountain in Hot Springs National Park and were at the paved street. My feet were sore from boots that have never fit perfectly due to my feet swelling from the edema of my second heart attack just a few months earlier. We were halfway across the street to start to tackle Hot Springs Mountain (the one with the tower) when next thing I knew I was in mid-air and headed down to a lower level of the mountain. That was my fourth fall within a year, but my first bloody one with aching bones that, for all I knew, were broken. Lee rushed me to the ER room at National Park Hospital after I limped home losing blood all the way. I guess we could have called an ambulance (as we had our cell phones and they could track us)…and in retrospect I suppose The NSA knew exactly where the bodily damage was, but we didn’t think of that at the time. Surely The NSA knew the drugs my neighborhood pharmacy was dispensing. I wonder if they knew they weren’t working. The ER couldn’t find broken bones but some ugly sprains and hairline fractures so they prescribed some heavy duty opioid pain meds and 6 weeks of physical therapy. The pain meds made me forget about the pain for the most part, but there was a downside. They also gave me severe nausea and quit working after a few weeks. Luckily the physical therapy did help rebuild the strength in my leg and I began wearing an ankle supports which worked, but made it very difficult to walk in my boots, given the usual swelling from heart disease. So I quit wearing the ankle supports, and gave up on the pain meds. Let me take us back over the years. The above damage occurred when I was about 56 years old. By the time I was 56, I’d done a lot more damage to that to my body which involved taking and teaching martial arts, running two marathons, two (not one but two) small plane crash landings, and flying through a windshield pre-seatbelt days as my Dodge Superbee 383 eight barrel flipped several times (I was a big fan of racing the ¼ mile track with the “Christmas Tree Lights”. My first heart attack at age 47, was decidedly worse than my second and until 2006 or so I had the worst case of sleep apnea the ear, nose and throat surgeon had ever seen. It was so bad in fact the CPAP and other methods were ruled out. A rare surgery was done that took out all blockages and also opened up my respiratory system. Post-op was the most painful thing I’d ever experienced. Top that off with the fact that it was in Little Rock, I live in Hot Springs, and they forgot to send my liquid pain medicines with me (I could not swallow anything solid). They worked it out about 8 hours later. 8 of the longest hours of my life. Before that I had a vagus nerve stimulator planted right below the skin inside my chest for living a lifetime without a functioning vagus nerve, the longest nerve in the body. The consequence of a dysfunctional vagus nerve can mimic depression etc. So I had “depression” all my life and the stigma attached. As it turns out, I did not have depression or any other mental illness. And I almost forgot right before the sleep apnea surgery, a gastroenterologist cut me wide open to save me from a busted appendix. Even with books, I never created a good appendix so this should not have been a big surprise. The pain was unbearable for about two weeks. But it was nothing as bad as the dental issues that lasted for about five years in which no dentist could diagnose, and I finally did by finding all the symptoms on the Internet. I had neuralgia which was affecting my gums. Given all the aforementioned painful experiences, one might right off neuralgia. But neuralgia turned out to be the worst of them all. It was unrelenting and intense. As one neurologist explained it, “Neurology is by far the most excruciating experience anyone might have”. I agree. Pain meds did not work. I was pretty much on my own with neuralgia. There was “a chance” that surgery could work, but only a chance. And it could make it worse. No thank you. I bring up this “organ recital” because, not all, but many of the medical visits that occurred could have been prevented by my switching to a raw or mostly raw vegan diet, and a powerful natural herb called kratom. I started on the vegan diet about two years ago. I’m not at 100% raw, but I am at about 80% raw and about 96% organic, and mostly fresh produce (veggies and fruits). I add legumes, soy, seeds, etc. Lee makes an amazing fresh organic smoothie each morning. It makes the ideal breakfast. Once I got past all the “scare articles” regarding kratom, I decided to order some after about 10 other “allegedly powerful” herbs didn’t help, or helped about in the same league as aspirin or similar OTC products. In other words, more pain. Kratom is in the coffee family. It is good for a lot of things from high blood pressure to protecting the heart, to boosting the immune system. But what it has done for me is what no pain med could even think of doing (and that includes opioids that have been given intravenously), followed up by tablet form (some of the strongest opioids). It gave me a reprieve from the nonstop intense chronic horrendous pain of the neuralgia and the consequences of all the accidents over the years that has turned into everything from tendonitis to carpal tunnel to pains that feel like fibromyalgia (though I’m told males don’t often get that), but the pain is the same. Just a few grams of kratom powder and the pain is 95-99% gone (and at times it must be 100% gone because I find myself completing chores and errands that were impossible before). There was a time after my third major surgery, Lee was taking me to the ER sometimes as much as once per week (all pain-related), including a large kidney stone that the hospital missed, but Lee caught on the blown up X-ray. So before kratom and veganism I had to have surgery, lithotripsy and a catheter; all of which could probably have been prevented on a vegan diet; and if not, relieved post-surgery by kratom instead of dangerous opiate drugs. Kratom is in the coffee family and there are numerous strains. The “white vein leaf” strains tend to be more energetic (like its cousin coffee). I like Maeng da Supreme from Thailand but White Sumatra is excellent with morning coffee. Without kratom the unbearable pain is usually worse upon waking up or going to sleep. At bedtime I choose an Indonesian strain such as Borneo Red Vein or Bali Supreme (Red). Most of Indonesian kratom is grown in Borneo (but still called Bali). And most of it lasts 2-4 hours as a pain reliever. Green Malay (or Green-Vein Malaysian) is “neutral”; in other words is not any more sedating than energetic and is known to have some of the highest analgesic qualities (and can last up to eight hours or so). Some people take large amounts of kratom “for recreational purposes”. I am told it has a euphoric effect at 10-40grams at one sitting. I do not recommend that; though nobody has ever died from it, one can experience nausea and throw up. But if taking it as an ideal analgesic that works (when aspirin or prescription pain meds won’t), there can be no potent pain reliever than kratom (at 2-5 grams per dose). Kratom extract is “a different story” and I don’t take it or really consider it for medicinal uses (due to its additional chemical composition). Don’t let me stop you, if that is your preferences. I felt safer with the pure organic leaf, as I’ve researched it for a long time, as I have other organic medicinal herbs, and find it to be quite safe and more importantly very effective. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick London is an outspoken advocate to keep kratom legal (which it is in 48 states in the U.S.). He spends many hours educating the public that it is not a spice, and not a drug, but a medicinal herb with very few if any side effects.
