Happy Birthday Prof. Ashton.  Thank you for being who you are.  The world needs many, many more physicians like you.  Can you imagine a world like that where docs actually believe you when you tell them what's going with you?  :smitten:

Dr. Ashton,  :happybday: :happybday:

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for saving my life and those of others  from the injuries and harm caused by poisonous benzodiazepine drugs.

 

May you continue to receive peace, wellness, and joy always!

Yes, I certainly hope so, Fiona!! She has done a world of good to so many, far more than so many others!! Her manual is still used very much today, and she has had the guts, the courage, to continue with her work while doctors pooh-poohed her and still do to this day. A true champion walks alone, and she is one of them!!!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
