Our world is often overshadowed by stories of struggle, but there are countless unsung heroes whose compassion and determination light the way for others. One such inspiring tale involves the remarkable friendship between two individuals—one, a kind and caring former super athlete, and the other, a friend in desperate need of support. Together, these friends embarked on a journey toward better health, wellness, and freedom from the grip of addiction.
Our athlete is our very own Danny Way, former competitive super star skateboarder whose passion and care saved his friend's life with the aid of an all-natural, high quality medicinal botanical commonly known as kratom.
Danny's Compassionate Mission
Danny’s own life has been full of formidable battles with injury, fast paced life, nonstop pressure, and all other chaos of a competitive lifestyle. Seeing firsthand the toll that pain and recovery took on his body and mind, Danny developed a deep sense of empathy for others facing similar struggles. This empathy became a guiding force when he noticed his close friend grappling with chronic pain and the devastating effects of substance dependence.
Legally prescribed opioids, while often prescribed for legitimate medical reasons, can quickly lead to dependency and a cascade of health issues, including death. Illegally obtained medications and substances on top of this, compound and escalate the problems instantly and detrimentally. Danny recalls seeing his amazing friend, once vibrant and full of life, now a mere shell of himself, weighed down by the physical and emotional toll of addiction. Danny has always led with his big heart and he knew he had to step in to help—not with judgment, but with unwavering support and understanding.
Pure, High Quality Kratom: A Natural Ally
Danny has previously been very vocal about his own injury and recovery journey and how on that journey he discovered kratom, a tool that helped him find his health and wellness and his way back out of darkness. Kratom comes from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree native to Southeast Asia. Kratom has been studied for its potential to provide occasional relief from pain, naturally boost energy, and promote a sense of well-being.† Kratom has been used for centuries as a traditional and effective remedy. For Danny, kratom's potential as a natural alternative for managing pain and alleviating withdrawal symptoms associated with substance dependency were two key standout factors.
Having previously gone through this journey himself Danny was now an expert. He does not take any topic lightly, but dives in fully to make sure he learns all there is to know and only believes in the best of the best. Danny had previously researched tirelessly, consulted reputable sources and sought out the highest quality kratom available. He learned about the importance of purity, proper dosing, and responsible usage. He also previously tested kratom on himself. He was successful in his own mission and came back from his own serious injuries. Not only that, but he found a like-minded company ETHA Natural Botanicals that, like himself, only believed in the best. Manufacturing the best quality kratom products and to make the overall kratom industry better. Like Danny, ETHA is based out of Southern California and manufacturers pure, highest quality kratom products that strive to change people’s lives for the better and in many cases give people their lives back. Danny partnered with ETHA Natural Botanicals to create his own kratom company Element 115 Botanicals (E115). And now, armed with this knowledge and the proper tools Danny wasted no time introducing his friend to kratom as part of a broader plan to reclaim health and wellness.
Journey of Healing and Hope
The road to recovery was not without its challenges, but the bond between friends and Danny’s unwavering passion and dedication made all the difference. Danny’s encouragement and firsthand understanding of the physical and emotional struggles created a safe space for his friend to open up and embrace the journey.
Kratom became a vital tool in the recovery process. It helped manage the physical pain that had initially led to substance use and later abuse, while also easing the withdrawal symptoms that often make it difficult to break free from the addiction. Paired with lifestyle changes such as exercise, a nutritious diet, and mindfulness practices, kratom served as a steppingstone toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Time passed and the transformation was profound, as Danny’s friend began to regain energy, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. The fog of dependency lifted, revealing the vibrant personality that had been overshadowed for far too long. Every step forward was a testament to the power of friendship, resilience, and the human spirit. Danny helped his friend get his life back. Danny has since helped several friends with a similar protocol. Now, he wants to share it with the world.

For those considering kratom as part of their own journey, it’s essential to approach it with care and responsibility. Consulting with knowledgeable professionals, sourcing high-quality products, and understanding proper usage are all crucial steps. Do your research and rely on those you trust. Danny once was quoted as saying: “Seeing so many people battling addiction hit close to home for me, so I set out to find a a way to help and make an impact.” Kratom is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but when used thoughtfully, it can be a powerful ally in the pursuit of wellness.

Steppingstone from Addiction to an All-Natural Alternative
It is important to note that we at E115 understand and acknowledge all the controversy surrounding 7-OH products, on account of their being alkaloid metabolites (not truly an all-natural) product, as well as a product with a potential for abuse, tolerance buildup and even addiction. Danny’s mission and our mission, however, is rooted in harm reduction and recovery support. Many individuals struggling with substance abuse and addiction need a structured transition away from such potentially abusive substances. E115 offers a steppingstone to help them regain control. This is why Danny created his “Recovery Kit”, to offer these individuals a guided plan of action to slowly ween off the dangerous substances with the help of alkaloid metabolites like 7-OH tablets and as quickly as possible, depending on the individual, transition completely to all-natural whole leaf kratom solution.
Danny’s Approach: A Carefully Designed Regimen:
Week 1
E115 7-OH and/or M-PSeudo Mega Mints (depends on an individual's unique needs
Replace current addictive substances with E115 7-OH or M-Pseudo Mega Mints, alkaloid metabolites. As soon as possible (this will vary drastically from individual to individual), begin incorporating E115 Kratom Extract Super Mints or E115 Kratom Extract Elixirs, more natural options.
***Please note, individual needs, extent of prior substance use, and other physical and emotional factors will vary the duration and dosage usage here.
Week 2
E115 Kratom Extract Super Mints and Elixirs
Completely stop taking E115 7-OH or M-Pseudo Mega Mints. Only take E115 Kratom Extract Super Mints or Elixirs.
Week 3
E115 Regular Kratom Extract Mints and Hyper Drive Kratom Extract Tablets
Focus shifts toward reducing the overall intake of mitragynine. Transition away from E115 Kratom Extract Super Mints and Elixirs and take regular E115 Kratom Extract Mints and/or E115 Hyper Drive Kratom Extract Tablets instead.
Week 4
E115 Whole-Leaf Kratom Tablets and Powders
Now is the time to transition away from kratom extracts and use whole-leaf kratom. Start taking E115 Whole-Leaf Kratom Tablets and/or Powders. The goal is to only take whole-leaf kratom products.
This method and suggested regimen provides a gradual, sustainable path towards managing health and wellness with all-natural solutions, prioritizing both effectiveness and long-term well-being. Please note, that each individual is different and therefore the process will never be the same. Dosage and transition times depend on each individual's exposure to substances, unique physical needs and am array of other factors. While four weeks will work for some individuals, for others the process may take shorter or longer. Please do not give up, stay focused, stay strong and we are here for you if you have questions and concerns.
