My personal meaning about Ashton's site is (of course I did not read all things, so perhaps I could have overseen something):
-its very, very good that there is an institution with experience in bz withdrawal, which could be useful for many but not all persons.
-the site gives some commonly known things about bz's, but gives definitely not more worthy knowledge about bz's. I think everything should be based on serious research. According to a study it was observed that bz's can reverse impaired length of axons and dendrites in individuals after long distress
-the site is "built" to their duty, but I think Ashtons site could be more neutral, it seems for me only to give bad aspects of bz's and that could bz users make very anxious hearing about what "poison" (perhaps a bit over exaggerated) they eat. The site is perhaps too much generalized, too less differentiated. I dont know what my grandmother would think about this site - ninety years old (30y bz's), overall happy with perhaps diminished mood swings due to bz's driving with her car known routes to grandchilds. Perhaps I would make her anxious, but I dont know. I will not replace any pills with placebos to do interesting research.Regards
