Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the intersection of economics and public health with the launch of AshtonManual.org, a new educational platform dedicated to safe benzodiazepine tapering. The website aims to provide comprehensive guidance on the Ashton Manual, a gold standard protocol for benzodiazepine withdrawal, developed by the late Professor C. Heather Ashton. This resource is designed to support patients, families, and healthcare providers worldwide by offering clear, patient-friendly explanations of the tapering process, emphasizing a slow, individualized approach to minimize withdrawal symptoms.

AshtonManual.org also highlights the availability of Doctor Mark Leeds, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, who provides expert medical supervision for patients pursuing the Ashton Method. Through his concierge medical practice, Doctor Leeds offers both in-person and telemedicine consultations, ensuring personalized attention and support throughout the tapering process. His approach is built on the principles of the Ashton Manual, incorporating modern refinements like microtapering and liquid tapering techniques. For more information, visit AshtonManual.org.
