Hi Bob, this is the best video I have seen in a long time. I can use your advice and thank you for it very much! I am a label-reader too and people in the stores wonder sometimes what hidden story I find on the labels. Too bad the FDA is so fare away from our needs that it is almost not needed at all or even dangerous for us consumer. Why are the companies allowed to lie to us and screw us around with double-talk or meaningless phrases about the contents of their product?

[@neighborbob3043]

Hi Klaus, thanks for the kind words! Yes, the FDA has been bought and paid for long ago! Just look at their relationship with Evil Monsanto for proof of that! Yes, that is good to be a label reader, it helps a lot in staying alive in this otherwise toxic food environment that we have let our Government create.

I am so frustrated my Psyc Doc, says food coloring, mercury, ect doesn't contribute to my issues as he sits drinking a diet coke. I want him to prescribe a compounded liquid valium with No dyes, flavorings as I sm tapering from clonazepam (orange pills..Red and yellow dye plus corn starch no doubt gmo, and sodium laurel sulfate) Also argues Benzodiazepines are not brain damaging. Also puts no stock in the Ashton Manual for benzo withdrawl. Thinks Im over reacting and its NOT dangerous that I have been on Benzo's snd AD over 30 years! I am so angry! Your info is spot on.

[@neighborbob3043]

Sounds like you need to find a new Doc? LOL! That is one thing I liked about the Valium. The ten mg tabs were blue, so I never took those. The 5 mg was yellow, some I did Ok with, but depended on what company made the Valium. Then the 2 mg tabs were white which was the best for me.

[@jo-penford]

im living this hell as well after 25yrs. my Dr also scoffs in my face, as to the internal hell im in now. I hope that one day they will have to answer to their refusal to listen. Perhaps a higher power will ensure they live like we are for a month to see what its like for us.

I had a Brother in law that passed away like five years ago at 60 years old. He used to drink ton's of diet coke with Aspartame. He ended up with a very rare form of terminal cancer called Kidney Angiosarcoma. I think he was like the twenty fifth person in the world to get it. I will always 100% believe that is was from the Aspartame. As I stated in the vid I believe, that my Dad had about like eighty five of the 92 signs of Aspartame poisoning twenty years ago, as he used to drink Diet Coke all day while fishing in the sun with my late Brother in law. I got Dad to stop drinking it back then and all but like two symptoms went away and he is still alive today at age ninety one and counting! : )

Emergency doses were .25mg in half... so somewhere around ( .12mg ) for times when I thought I was going to die. I didn't feel good between emergency doses (except immediately after taking) and 14 days after each dose KINDLING withdrawals. So,,, ok for now?😐?. Changing diet🙃 , trying to get my weight up, rest, rest, walk dog, exercise, pools , cold, warm water, loving self spiritually, and family / societal awareness and appreciation of others struggles = not a superior empath, but just way better understanding and appreciation of other people, no matter how awful some people can be...

[@Mike-Irons]

A portion of drug withdrawal is malnutrition symptoms. If you can minimize those symptoms you can make withdrawal easier, anything u can do to make it easier the better. Before u start ur detox, spend a few weeks pumping your body full of nutrients, naturally through food and supplements. Don't wait till ur detoxing to start pumping up on vitamins. Prepare your body early. Things that u can do to make recovery faster starts well before you start detox.

[@neighborbob3043]

Exactly Cameron I could not agree with you more! It is hard oftentimes for those of us that have been on Benzo's to even take certain vitamins. As fat soluble vitamins cause me anxiety and nervousness. So the only thing left for a person to do in that case is , supplement what they can, and then eat a well balanced full spectrum ORGANIC diet. To get as many of the nutrient dense foods in them as humanely possible. Diet is absolutely crucial to Benzo healing. If a person is drinking diet Coke, eating potato chips, and pizza and all kinds of other processed crap. They may be the ones five years out from a taper wondering why they still feel terrible.

Truly diet is key, if it does not say organic on it don't eat it! : ) At least when you eat organic you can be assured that your not consuming GMO's and toxic Roundup and Dicamba, (or at least not so much of it anyway. If a water fast is not a possibility check out my video's on Infrared sauna. That is exactly what these high dollar Benz withdrawal centers use to detox people from all drugs inclusing Benzo's. But most charge like $50,000.00 or more to do so! You can detox yourself with a handful of minerals, along with Niacin, and large doses of powdered ascorbic acid. Besides infrared sauna is so relaxing and healing. Take care........ Bob

[@neighborbob3043]

Ok ya got me Cher. Because what I was really thinking is that you need to get off the Zanex! LOL! I was on that 2 mg Klonopin for thirteen years. From what I feel like overall now to then is night and day. I now sleep MUCH better, weight is going down, much clearer in my thinking and in all of my emotions. If I had it to do over again, I would go through the 2.2 years from the time of my taper until I healed to be free of Benzo's again. As horrible as my withdrawal was, it was by far worth it. If Big Pharma ever came out with anything else, I'm sure it would be just as bad as Benzo's or worse, as I have literally no faith in them. But in the end, it is each one of us's decision on what we want to do. Whatever road you take, I hope that it is the right one for you. www.aliem.com/2013/11/all-benzodiazepines-are-metabolized-by-the-liver/ all Benzo's (and any prescription drugs for that matter) are super toxic to ones liver.

[@jojojeep1]

Bobby, how come you didn’t withdraw when you are on a water fast did you ever find out

[@neighborbob3043]

In retrospect I could just kick my ass for not having done that. Since I did like six longer fasts while still on a full dose of 2 mg's of Klonopin. With absolutely no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. You see I never knew Klonopin was a problem to get off. The first day I started several 21 day fasts, I stopped taking it the first night. Then the day the fast ended I started taking it again thinking I needed it to sleep ! Duh me! LOL! When I finally realized how bad it was I did some reading and it said to slow taper so I did, then had almost 2 1/2 years of hell! Double Duh me! I wish I just went on a fast and stopped it now. But, every time I did fast after my taper something got better every time. Nothing heals the body like fasting.

Ton's of fresh all organic vegetables, nut's and sprouted seed' My oils are coconut, Bragg's olive oil, some sesame, and Sunflower oil. Chia seed's Flax, Hemp, Chlorella. I do not need to supplement anything, because I eat a full spectrum diet lacking in nothing . I have tried many different ways of eating in my past sixty one years. Back when I was 50 I was stacked with muscle at 195 lbs. I decided to stop eating red meat and do like a vegetarian diet. Within a short time almost all of my muscles fell of and my health deteriorated very rapidly. I believe that there is not one "right Diet " for everybody. One needs to eat what makes them feel vital and alive. For me, I can 100% say that is the above diet.

Bobby my main man, how long was your benzo taper?

[@neighborbob3043]

I'd say mine took only about eight months. I know I came off a bit too fast. But I think due to my diet, water fasts, and sauna I was fine with that. Where others may have not been so good. We eat some very healthy food here. Grass fed grass finished beef, ocean caught salmon, mackerel, (not King Mackerel cuz loaded with mercury). We also supplement where we can and eat all organic at home. We take a scoop of Organic Chlorella daily. Iodoral iodine 6,5 mg's. 800 mg's on magnesium orotate, 400 mg's of powdered potassium, 200 mcg's of selenium, 22 mg's of Mega Food brand Zinc (from food sources). We eat a balance of healthy fat's like three rounded tablespoons of coconut oil daily, and like an avocado a day as well. We use healthy oils like Bragg's organic Olive oil in a glass bottle, coconut oil for high heat cooking. Some safflower oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, and no canola or soy. Being healthy and almost never getting sick is no accident! LOL!

[@neighborbob3043]

Hi Amabelle, I took 2 mg's of Klonopin for thirteen years for insomnia. I weaned over to 40 mg's of Valium and started tapering about .5 mg's at a time. My taper lasted like eight months total. And yes as soon as the taper began the anxiety was very high for for most of a year and seven months after my taper ended a few months ago.

[@yanaesprit7286]

[@pakaseebok3779]

Hey that also the case for natural glutamin like almond powder?

[@neighborbob3043]

Paka, if you buy just raw organic almonds they should not have any MSG. The problem is when you buy something processed (like almond powder), and it has the following things on the label. Many of which like autolyzed yeast extract are hidden forms of MSG. Dry Roasted Almonds have MSG!? Emerald Dry Roasted Almond Ingredients: Dry Roasted Almonds, Seasoning (Maltodextrin, Contains 2% or Less of the Following: Salt, Modified Potato Starch, Sugar, Monosodium Glutamate, Paprika, Onion Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Garlic Powder, Natural Flavor, Modified Corn Starch, Corn Syrup Solids). MSG (an excitotoxin) causes damage to the neurons in your brain and has links to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s disease and many others. Children are very susceptible to this type of effect on their sensitive and growing brains. Excitotoxins excite the neurons in the brain too much. They become exhausted and die. Neurotoxins are also a main cause of seizures . The damage may not be seen until many years later. When this happens, our neurotransmitters responsible for focus, mood, and memory have a hard time finding and recognizing their receptors due to the inflammation of the membranes on the brain cells caused by the consumption of MSG.

Thank you. I’m about to start a taper on my own from 3mg Xanax after using for 15 years. I want to do it very slowly to possibly avoid bad withdrawals. Not telling my doc for fear of her taking it away too quickly. Any suggestions? I’m not sure what amounts to decrease by. The five things you mentioned I have absolutely no part of in my diet. Hoping that will help.

[@neighborbob3043]

Are ask your Doctor to switch you over to the matching amount of Valium or Diazapam as recommended by Dr. Heather Ashton? The Diazapam worked very well for me. My 2 mg's of Klonopin translated to 40 mg's of Diazapam. Best of luck whatever you do, as tapering is a true nightmare.

[@torimathers7701]

Neighbor Bob isn’t that just another benzo? What purpose does that serve?

[@neighborbob3043]

Yes it is another Benzo, but it has like a long half life in the body of up to like 200 hours. It comes in 2 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg tablets that are all scored. So it is much easier to adjust your taper than with a Benzo like I was on Klonopin. 2 mg's of Klonopin = 40 mg's of Valium! (2) Switching to a long-acting benzodiazepine. With relatively short-acting benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax) and lorazepam (Ativan) (Table 1, Chapter I), it is not possible to achieve a smooth decline in blood and tissue concentrations. These drugs are eliminated fairly rapidly with the result that concentrations fluctuate with peaks and troughs between each dose. It is necessary to take the tablets several times a day and many people experience a "mini-withdrawal", sometimes a craving, between each dose. For people withdrawing from these potent, short-acting drugs it is advisable to switch to a long-acting, slowly metabolised benzodiazepine such as diazepam. Diazepam (Valium) is one of the most slowly eliminated benzodiazepines. It has a half-life of up to 200 hours, which means that the blood level for each dose falls by only half in about 8.3 days. The only other benzodiazepines with similar half-lives are chlordiazepoxide (Librium), flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) and flurazepam (Dalmane), all of which are converted to a diazepam metabolite in the body. The slow elimination of diazepam allows a smooth, gradual fall in blood level, allowing the body to adjust slowly to a decreasing concentration of the benzodiazepines. The switch-over process needs to be carried out gradually, usually in stepwise fashion, substituting one dose at a time. There are several factors to consider. One is the difference in potency between different benzodiazepines. Many people have suffered because they have been switched suddenly to a different, less potent drug in inadequate dosage because the doctor has not adequately considered this factor. Equivalent potencies of benzodiazepines are shown in Table 1 (Chapter I), but these are only approximate and differ between individuals.

[@neighborbob3043]

Here is your recommended taper schedule, but it is for 6 mg's of Xanax so just cut the numbers in two. You would start on 60 mg's of Valium or Diazapam. That is 20 mg's more than I was on. That would be six 10 mg Diazapams a night. Then later when you get further on with your taper, just have your doc prescribe you 5 mg scored tablets, and later on toward the end 2 mg's that's what I did, hope this helps and take care....... Bob

[@blackbirdhollow3889]

Do not tip off your doc by asking for a different med dosage....do liquid titration. Mentioning anything to your doc might have him cut you back or off completely. Go to benzobuddies.org and find the Ashton Manual. You will find tapering info there, and support.

No, since Tuna is a high mercury fish. Other high mercury fish are sea bass, grouper and shark. Also anything that is on the bottom of the sea like oysters, clams and etc have more mercury. I stick with ocean caught sardines, ocean caught chub mackerel (not King mackerel as they are loaded with mercury). Or I like ocean caught frozen cod or salmon as well. All of those are on the low mercury scale. www.amazon.com/Sonnes-Detoxification-No-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00028PP6Y Get a bottle of this (no need to refrigerate after opening). Take a tablespoon immediately after eating and it will absorb any mercury from your fish.

Oooops....you said grass fed chickens. Chickens do not eat grass, nor can chickens digest grass.

[@helena667r6]

Thank you

[@mindytice6965]

is Stevia okay ?

[@neighborbob3043]

Yes Mindy Stevia "as far as I I'm concerned" is the healthiest natural sweetener there is. We keep a four ounce bottle of liquid Stevia around all the time to sweeten things with.

How do you sleep neighbor bob?

[@neighborbob3043]

After first solvent injured at work in 1998 I developed chronic insomnia from my brain injury. Then on 2 mg's of Klonopin for the next thirteen years, at first better, then progressively worse again. When taper started in early 2015 terrible chronic insomnia ensued yet once again for the next year and seven months, which got mostly better last September when I like 97% healed from the Benzo's. Lately I have been sleeping better than I have since prior to my solvent injury which was fine. This past month I have been doing a heavy metal detox with Chlorella Vulgaris and liquid extract of Cilantro, and have been sleeping even deeper and better than I ever imagines. I slept seven and a half hours straight through last night like a rock, which was all but impossible the last twenty years or so for me. So I am very optimistic at this point.

[@lenarayne334]

Neighbor Bob I’m so happy to hear that. I’m having so much trouble with sleep after stopping ambien. (Even though it got better immediately when I stopped taking it). I’ve been so worried that I’ve permanently damaged my brain’s ability to sleep - I was told by a naturopathic doctor that I could have. And I’m worried that not sleeping well will make me unable to recover. You’ve given me hope though :) I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to go through, but you are so kind for making these videos and helping others.

[@lenarayne334]

Neighbor Bob I’m going to look more into heavy metal detox. Do you know anything about a supplement called glutathione? It supposedly helps pull out heavy metals.

[@neighborbob3043]

Thanks a lot Lena!

Grass fed chickens??

[@neighborbob3043]

Sorry, I was brought up in the city! LOLO!

[@kdelka81]

Did I hear you say DOCTOR Mercola????? I'm out. Talk about quacks. He is NOT a doctor anymore. His title has been taken away. Ending watching this video now. Mention Mercola...I'm out. Yours truly, Kimberly K. RN

[@neighborbob3043]

I did not say I was a fan of his, as he personally is wrong on more things than he is right on. But he often interviews people that "do know" what they are talking about "that" I am a fan of. Dr. Mercola would sell you the watch off his arm if he could! LOL! I personally listen to and highly respect Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Bergman, Dr. Sircus, Dr. Axe and the like. : )

[@kdelka81]

Neighbor Bob Thanks for the clarification! I'll look into those names.

[@toddlavigne6441]

your correct. bottom line nothing really helps benzo withdrawl and I doubt these substances aggrivate except caffeine.

[@aliceingraham7637]

Many people with anxiety have sensitivity to sugar, which is in everything these days as well. Not everyone, but this guy is talking to us who truly are sensitive.

WEED

[@neighborbob3043]

[@permaculturedandfree2448]

Mike L xanax, valium...lexapro..morphine...I was a kid 24 who thought like everyone else, that I needed them so its ok..I went cold turkey at 26 and it almost killed me!

[@permaculturedandfree2448]

Neighbor Bob I tried cbd oil its a good start..I use a vaporizer and a bong ...best advice to anyone is weed lol I know that people are debating the crap out of it but screw them! I grow my medication and am a happy Dad who is able to be a man again.

Neighbor Bob sorry brother....lithium is bad news

[@neckwatch]

How about honey? Is raw honey ok?

[@neighborbob3043]

Yes raw honey is a lot better than table sugar for sure! But it can be a bit hard for some to digest. As long as you do not eat too much it's Ok though. We use a lot of liquid stevia sweetener around here. www.vitacost.com/vitacost-stevia-extract-4-fl-oz-2 A little bit goes a long way with Stevia. So a bottle lasts a good long time. : )

[@neckwatch]

I can not tolerate stevia very much. Stevia gives me tinnitus.

@@neighborbob3043 can i eat apples or what fruit can I eat? My family was wanting me to go to a detox rehad center again will that help?

[@neighborbob3043]

Yea most fruit is fine, just make sure that it's organic. As regular fruit is sprayed with a lot of pesticides which are by nature neurotoxic like Roundup. I have done a lot of vids on detoxing. For me detox centers are very expensive, but if you can afford them I guess they are Ok. I use home infrared sauna, water fasting, and some supplements like chlorella and cilantro extract to detox heavy metals. I also had all of my silver/mercury fillings taken out by a Holistic Dentist back in 2001 that helped me a lot to lessen my body's toxic load.
