Reader Testimonials always tell the story, take a look at what Jeff Stoffel, a Verified Reader, had to say, “A game-changer for anyone struggling with benzodiazepine withdrawal. Dr. Leigh’s knowledge and compassion shine through every page.” .
Dr. David Rusen made these comments, “This book should be required reading for all medical practitioners. It can save their patients’ lives.”
During a recent interview, Dr. Leigh made these comments, “I took a benzodiazepine as prescribed. As it does in about 50-80% of the people who take one, it damaged my brain and nervous system. When I tried to get off the medication, doctors gave me bad advice and damaged me even more. But I stopped taking my benzos in June 2011.
I was disabled by BIND, benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction for a long time. As I healed, I decided to not return to my previous coaching career and instead, vowed to help people suffering from benzo withdrawal/BIND, as well as to help their caregivers, and to educate the healthcare community about benzodiazepine’s dangers and damages.”
