Kratom
Kratom is a plant of much controversy and debate. A tree indigenous to Southeast Asia that clearly provides beneficial effects, yet it seems that the governments of these areas are doing their best to eradicate. Probably because its existence cuts through their profits and income from the trade of opiate derivatives which is a multibillion dollar business.
People have been chewing kratom leaves for years. Those with a deeper knowledge and understanding of its properties speak of a natural substance that lifts moods, stimulates the body, can be used in chronic pain management, can be used as an antidiarrheal and can even be used against premature ejaculation in sexual intercourse, among other things. For them, and those that have searched a little deeper into Kratom, it is beyond comprehension why the legislation bodies are doing their best to restrict and ban, while at the same time permit the free sale of alcohol and tobacco when clearly Kratom is a far less dangerous substance.
The book "Kratom" is written in an attempt to clarify the mysteries involved, clear out the misconceptions and present the true and established facts. Facts that say that it is a beneficial plant as long as it's use is kept on an occasional and controlled manner and as along as some precautions like not driving and not using any heavy equipment while under its influence and not using it if you are a pregnant woman are kept.
It would appear that the controversy in the western world has resulted from the sale of mislabeled products that are not actually Kratom, or from attempts to mix it with other substances in order to circumvent the legal status of certain countries. The result is the same. Kratom has been blamed for side effects it does not provide unless it is consumed in such huge quantities that would make any substance lose its benefits and become dangerous.
All the above been said, "Kratom" should not be conceived as an attempt to persuade people to break the law. The contents are purely informational and attempt to present the facts. It is also meant to present how to properly prepare and consume Kratom in order to enjoy the benefits and how much has been documented to be a safe quantity. The rest is up to the reader.

Great Concise Book for Beginners
Although I would like to see a book with more research, at this point there is so little scientific research done on Kratom, we have mostly stories from Kratom users to depend on. With that said, this little book on Kratom and its uses is well written, concise,and contains everything a person new to the use of Kratom could need. As someone who uses it for pain from Fibromyalgia and severe back issues, I found it quite useful, and I still refer to it after two years of continually using Kratom, not only for pain, but to wean me off the use of Fentenyl, that I was on for over ten years. If you want to use Kratom for a chronic pain problem, or for helping in mood relief, and definitely for opiate withdrawal, I highly recommend this book as a first step in informing yourself about Kratom and how it may be used.

Interesting book.
The author has written a good book, he has set out the facts, leaving the reader to make up his own mind as to decide whether to go ahead, and what quanties and how often to consume. A highly intelligent book allowing intelligent readers to make up their own minds.
