Taper: A Journey Through Eczema and Topical Steroid Withdrawal

Taper: A Journey Through Eczema and Topical Steroid Withdrawal

The physical suffering of TSW can be mitigated. Taper explores the iatrogenic illness of Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) and the global tidal wave of awareness surrounding it. Jason shares his integrative approach to bypassing topical steroid withdrawal, while healing eczema. The book highlights the work of Dr Richard Aron, Dr Xiu-Min Li, Dr Marvin Rapaport, Dr Chris Reynolds, Sue Armstrong-Brown, Peerawat Jay, and other leading health professionals. Taper delves into topical steroid withdrawal, eczema, community advocacy, the mental health crisis, and integrative treatments. It contrasts the experiences of cold-turkey TSW warriors with the medically guided path of tapering off topical steroids. “I was bedridden for a long time from cold-turkey TSW. Through integrative health optimisations and slowly tapering off, I was able to bypass TSW. I wrote this book for anyone living in fear of a future with TSW. The physical suffering of TSW can be mitigated.” — Jason Vergara, Author of Taper & Founder of TSW Assist Taper is a call to action for integrative health—inviting sufferers and health professionals to rethink TSW care.
