One reader wrote of an earlier edition ("Benzo Land: How Doctors and Drug Companies Enslave You"): “Tells me I am not alone, and is certain to tell many, many, many more that they too are not alone. Your article will define for them their secrets. It will put words to what they do not understand about what is happening to them: the forgetfulness, etc... You have found the words. Those words are a light in the darkness that is Benzo Land when one builds there. Thank you.”
