As Prescribed: a documentary film by Holly Hardman

For over fifty years, doctors have been prescribing benzodiazepines. The drugs bear well-known names: Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan. They are commonly thought of as safe, helping to take the edge off or give a better night's sleep. As Prescribed, however, documents a strikingly different narrative. Through personal accounts and investigating mounting evidence, the film reveals the errant medical culture that promotes them. The result is the story of an epidemic that is devastating lives globally.

​Benzodiazepine Healing -- Let There Be Light

​Through bleary eyes I write this message.

This week I am on a 5-day juice fast of freshly-squeezed grapefruit and orange juice. Cont'd.
