A Leaf of Faith

All I'll say is I've been on kratom for over 2 years. I have stopped a few times to try out other methods to help my pain. I'm a disabled vet and because of my worries over the FDA that was why I had stopped those times. Be careful with these negative review this movie was great very informative. The ppl claiming the horrible withdrawal I'm not sure if they were coming of something else. Maybe they had bad Kratom that was mixed with opioids or it was in there minds. But the few times I stopped I never once experienced anything like what they are claiming. But of course I would not even stop drinking coffee related to Kratom by ths way cold Turkey. I would get bad headaches and be cranky!

I was so happily suprised to see "A Leaf of Faith" being streamed.

I was so impressed that this doc showed both of sides of the aisle. The informed and the grossly misinformed.

If you are a chronic pain sufferer and are most unfortunately taking chemically produced pain killers...do yourself a big favor and check this doc out.

Kratom is truly a gift from Mother Nature. There are millions of success stories out there, and I am one.

This documentary was so incredible. It shed light on so much of the true root of this terrible "opioid epidemic" we are facing today. Chris Bell interviews members of all sides of the Kratom argument and as a result is frankly, one of the least biased documentaries I have ever had the fortune of viewing.

As a chronic pain sufferer myself, I have tried every prescribed opiate known to man with a wide range of results. However, in the end, when the doctors cut me off of my pain medication, I was lead down a dark path to suffering and yes, suicide. I can't count the times I have spent in psychiatric hospitals as a result of my endless suffering that I very simply -WANTED TO END!

I have recently been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, along with scoliosis, herniated disk, sciatica, severe hip and also knee pain. I have been forced to go back to Suboxone clinics in order to somewhat alleviate the pain I was in, as no doctors were willing to hear me about my pain since around the 2013 mark. I have walked the line of suboxone clinics, expensive treatment, and feeling like I'll never get the relief I need.

Thanks to this documentary, I recently tried Kratom for myself, and can I just tell you that I have been off of the soul-draining suboxone medication for 72 hours now? That alone is mind boggling to me. It looks like a leaf, smells like a leaf and frankly tastes like a leaf. To me, therefore I'm calling it a LEAF! And what a reLEAF (haha) it has been to me and my poor husband who has had to care for his 32 year old sick wife for the past 3 years? Thank God for this medicine. This plant. This natural remedy.

I don't feel high, I don't feel edgy or irritable as I did whilst on Rx opiates. I feel calm, happy, content, and pain FREE! I can hold my dear son and laugh with him! I even went to the pool and swam today after not getting out of bed for weeks.

Please watch this documentary and educate yourselves. This documentary can and will save the lives of people you love. It can't hurt, so give it a try. Don't let big pharma and our government sway you!

Kris really put together a fantastic film. We in the Kratom community are fighting everyday to STOP this schedule 1 FDA ban. The FDA is pushing nothing but false Information and bogus claims about this plant. This documentary will open so many peoples eyes and help the world see how amazing Kratom is. So for that, we thank you! Regardless if you know what Kratom is or not, you should watch this video and learn about natural medicine. Somebody in your family or one of your friends can use this to help if they suffer from pain, anxiety, depression ETC.

KELLY Dunn, an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER on this film is the OWNER of Urban Ice the same company featured in this film - this feels like an infomercial.

A few thoughts: The doctor who's wife bought Kratom at a gas station, on the advice of a prostitute, said he knew nothing about Kratom, yet his wife took it while sitting in the car beside him. I question his judgment.

The counselor at Cliffside treatment facility said: If you're on opiates you are a slave, that drug is controlling you". This is a blanket statement and is NOT true for EVERYONE.

Also, the cost was not discussed. For most people who have chronic pain are on disability. Insurance does not cover kratom, so I doubt it would be a good choice for those with a limited income.

I have taken kratom and it's a hit and miss situation. I was told that this is a common complaint. Bottom line is, it comes from overseas -who really knows what you're going to get?

Something's wrong when you can buy alcohol, cigarettes and guns, which all have proven to be lethal. A woman has the right to get an abortion, yet it's a problem to make the choice to treat our pain in a way that is not harmful and gives us our life back. I for one want my right to choose.
