Biotherapy Alternative Medicine Clinic. Your best place to
quit smoking with our unique and successful
program.
"Quitting smoking is easy, I've done it
hundreds of times." Mark Twain
If you are reading this, most likely you
have been thinking about quitting smoking.
Perhaps, you are trying to help a loved one
or a friend to overcome the killing
addiction. Whatever you case might be you
have come to the right place.
Before we continue, let me present you with
a bad news. Quitting smoking is very tough.
According to the research,
many people who try to quit smoking restart
within a week and about 90 percent relapse
within a year. But there is also a good
news. It is possible to quit and we have
helped many people on their way to becoming
nicotine-free.
We are not going to preach to you about all
the danger of nicotine addiction. (Just in
case you are interested,
click here) Frankly, you have heard it
all before. And besides, smoking is your
choice and you should have freedom to make
decisions for yourself. But if you decided
to kick the deadly habit, we are here to
help you all the way!
We, at Biotherapy Alternative Medicine
Clinic of San Francisco Bay Area, do not
believe in "one-size-fits-all" solution to
quitting smoking. We are all different human
beings, and should approach every situation
individually. In our 30 years of experience,
we have developed a unique and time after
time proven
program that is customized to every
patient's individual needs.
The program includes:
Acupuncture
treatments are totally painless and the
effects are long lasting. The World Health
organization (WHO) of the United Nations
recognizes forty-seven different health
conditions that are successfully treated by
acupuncture. One of these is nicotine
addiction. While some smokers have tried
using the nicotine patch to stop smoking,
they are often unsuccessful. The reason is
that the patch puts nicotine back into your
body. Acupuncture detoxifies the
body. It takes nicotine out of your body
while allowing your natural endorphins to
take over the comfort level. Most of the
people who quit smoking experience insomnia,
anxiety, and crankiness in the first weeks
after quitting.
Acupuncture and
hypnosis can greatly decrease of
completely eliminate the unpleasant
side-effects of abstinence. Our
acupuncturist Peter Melamed, LAc, PhD has
more than 25 years of experience helping
people like you.
So why do people relapse? It is well
known that physical cravings disappear
within 3-7 days. A tricky few days and then
a lifetime of freedom. So why hasn't it been
that easy previously? Simple, you didn't
deal with the psychological addiction of
smoking. If you think that stopping smoking
is depriving you of something, then it is
just a matter of time until you start again.
It makes no difference how strongly you
consciously want to quit. No amount of
so-called willpower will get you to quit
smoking if you are subconsciously opposed to
quitting. Simply speaking,
you will
not quit smoking until you are
subconsciously ready to do so!
On the other hand, once you are
subconsciously ready to quit, you won't be
able to smoke! Hypnotherapy is ideal for
this. Using hypnosis, you can deal
with all of the emotional and psychological
aspects of giving up smoking.
Hypnosis is highly effective because it
addresses the subconscious. The results
can be felt immediately.
Here are just a few of the many and
marvelous benefits of hypnosis sessions for
those who have made the choice to become
nonsmokers:
-
Hypnosis strengthens motivation and
reinforces the positive goal of being a
nonsmoker;
-
Hypnosis helps to remove patterns of habit
(e.g., Every time I read a book, I
light up);
-
Hypnosis can lower and/or eliminate the
level of desire for nicotine;
-
Hypnosis assists in relieving and/or
completely eliminating withdrawal
symptoms;
-
Hypnosis offers constructive and healthy
relaxation methods to reduce stress;
-
Hypnosis reinforces wellbeing and the
positive feeling of success!
There are many hypnotherapy practitioners
who sell CDs to help people quit smoking.
Those "all-purpose" CDs may or may not help
you. We do it differently. As a part of
your hypnosis session, we will record a
custom made CD, prepared exclusively for
YOU to take home. By listening, you will be
able to continue with hypnosis in the
privacy of your home.
Our hypnotherapist is Certified in Medical
Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis by National Guild
of Hypnotists.
Most people who quit smoking worry about
gaining weight. It seems to go with the
territory. While a small gain is normal,
excessive weight gain when you quit smoking
can create new health problems and erode
your determination to stay off cigarettes.
Why do people gain weight when they quit
smoking? Smoking affects a person's
metabolism and also burns calories:
-
Smoking burns up to 200 calories a day in
a heavy smoker
-
Because smoking burns calories, metabolism
is boosted (increased) slightly
-
Nicotine is an appetite suppressant
Our customized diet, food
supplements and hypnosis can help
you address your weight gaining concerns.
Taking herbs and food supplements
can also address some of the health
problems that you have acquired during your
years of nicotine addiction.
