I agree totally, we should ALWAYS treat the cause & underlying issues.
But this... >>> I'm sure there are some withdrawal effects from stopping benzos cold turkey... but it's usually the fact that the person never treated the underlying cause (infection, toxicity, hormones, adrenals, diet)<<< ...is definitely incorrect!
It is extremely rare than a person can withdraw from benzos without severe withdrawal effects (no matter how slowly they withdraw)....even after only a few weeks/months of usage. Cold turkey withdrawal can induce seizures - many times life-threatening. This class of drugs is insidious, and the well-known usage & withdrawal effects should never be minimized or thought to be part of any "underlying cause".
Blessings,
Uny
