About Us

My name is Dave Bregger and my Wife is Nancy and our younger Son is Jeff. We lost our beloved oldest Son, and Jeff’s best friend, Dan August 29, 2021.  His cause of death was the combined toxic effects of Mitragynine (over the counter name is KRATOM) and diphenhydramine (active ingredient in Benadryl and many over the counter sleep aids.) We believe he was looking for a safe natural way to deal with his anxiety.

My son died in Colorado where Kratom is sold in vape stores, convenience stores and even Gas stations.  These products are being sold in many cases with no dosing instructions and/or warnings about its use.  As of late I have seen manufactures using the majority of the backs of their products with disclaimers and nothing about potential dangers.

One lobbying group warns that symptoms of overdose including: “becoming delusional, hallucinations, vomiting, and passing out.  If you are alone and experiencing these symptoms call 911″… This is exactly how my son died except they left out the final “symptom”… death.  My son was alone so exactly when was he supposed to call 911… when he was delusional, when he was hallucinating, when he was vomiting, or when he passed out??

Despite what many web sites will tell you (most that are selling the substance) that it is safe and effective for all kinds of things from anxiety to helping get off opioids, pain and many more. Kratom is marketed as a nutritional supplement among many other safe sounding names but make no mistake… it is a dangerous, deadly and highly addictive DRUG.
