Plant Medicine and Spondylosis:
Brandon Belgard, a plumber from California who began to have back problems after sports injuries and car accidents as a young man. Later he was diagnosed with degenerative spinal disease called spondylosis; but found relief through medicinal herbs like Kratom which has been used by him for the past five years . We also talk about other plant-based remedies that IKE using: corydalis (a kind of herb), acuamma & chuchuhusi – two plants related closely in some way
