Unfortunately, both the stress and the fun of the college experience provide numerous opportunities to develop unhealthy behavior patterns such as overeating at cafeterias, indulging on late night snacks, drinking energy drinks loaded with caffeine and calories and consuming too much alcohol. what can college students do to stay healthy and reduce stress? Let’s take a look at some tips:

Some experts report stress is the #1 trigger of ailments in peoples’ physical, emotional and endocrinal systems. Practicing yoga is a great way to reduce stress. Yoga counteracts the effects of stress in several ways, including by altering the biochemical responses of the body. it can help students sleep better and overcome stress-induced eating. Studies show that yoga practitioners learn more, improve their memories and get higher grades.

Many college students do Yoga to release stress and anxiety while strengthening the body and relaxing the mind. Yoga provides a sense of balance and mental clarity. Also, some colleges offer yoga group classes, which are great activities for a group of friends.

During transcendental meditation, the brain functions with substantially greater coherence and the body gains deep rest. the state of restful alertness brought about by transcendental meditation dissolves stress and fatigue and promotes a balanced functioning of mind and body.

Scientific research has shown that TM provides a wide array of health benefits. over 600 scientific research studies have confirmed the benefits of TM for mind, body, behavior and society as a whole.

David Haaga, Ph.D., professor of Psychology at American University in Washington D.C., stated, “the Transcendental Meditation Program, a widely-used standardized program to reduce stress, showed significant decreases in blood pressure and improved mental health in young adults at risk for hypertension.” the study, performed by American University researchers, was based on university students.

College students’ diets should should have a balance of vegetarian proteins or lean meats, high fiber carbohydrates, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

College students often put on additional pounds due to their fondness for late night snacks. unfortunately, during sleep, the body’s metabolism slows down, which causes much of those snacks to be stored as fat. Fred Turek, professor of neurobiology and physiology at the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Biology, showed that adjusting the time people eat significantly affects body weight. Mice provided a high-fat diet during normal sleeping hours had a 48% weight increase over their baseline, whereas the mice provided the same diet during normal waking hours gained only 20% over their baseline. There was no statistical difference between the two groups of mice regarding calorie consumption or how active they were.

Many college students rely on caffeine energy drinks to stay awake during late night study sessions. They make up a significant portion of the three billion dollar energy drink market.

According to the Canadian Medical Association Journal, some energy drinks contain more than five times the amount contained in a can of cola and almost double the amount contained in a cup of brewed coffee. Energy drinks have been linked to nausea, abnormal heart rhythms and emergency room visits.

Alcohol consumption is trendy at colleges. However, by drinking alcohol, college students reduce the amount of fat their body burns to make energy. Instead of being stored as fat, most of the alcohol is converted to a substance called acetate. When the body’s acetate levels rise the body burns more acetate and less fat.

With a little more effort and a little less giving into temptation, college students can greatly reduce stress and improve their overall health.

I’d like to add time management to this list, so that students (and non-students alike) can schedule in both workouts and keep a fairly consistent sleep schedule to help manage stress. Do you have any stress-management advice to share?

Busy College Students: Tips for Improving Health & Reducing Stress

AMD is common among other adults, causing reduced sharp and central vision; making reading things like newspapers, phonebooks, and letters difficult.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1.8 million Americans, 40 years and older, suffer from AMD. by 2020, that number could reach 2.95 million.

Published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, researchers analyzed data from the Women’s Health Study. the Women’s Health Study involved women, 45 years old and over, who filled out questionnaires about their diet.

The new examination showed after 10 years 235 of the 38,022 women had developed AMD that negatively affected their vision. but when the scientists looked at intake of fatty acids, the risk of AMD was 38% lower in women with the top one-third of DHA consumption, compared to women in the bottom third. and higher intake of EPA was also linked to a 34% lower risk.

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are forms of omega-fatty acids; both are found in fish like salmon.

But researchers want more studies on the link between omega-3 fatty acids and AMD, before they can make any official recommendations.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish – such as salmon, herring, and sardines – at least two times a week to help lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Micro-algae supplements are vegan sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3′s Help Slow Age-Related Vision Loss

One of my goals is to try to change a prevalent perception that I see in virtually all sectors of the alternative and conventional medical system. It’s a counterproductive point of view that natural medicine: a) cannot be adequately or fairly studied by using the scientific method; b) natural remedies are more basic or primitive than allophatic medications and treatments and; c) we should expect “black and white” answers to issues regarding the efficacy of holistic therapies. to be clear, this problem is not isolated to the mainstream medical establishment. it extends into the territory of natural health manufacturers, practitioners and even patients.

Here’s the problem in a nutshell: the conventional medical community tends to ignore most natural remedies. But on occasion they do conduct a study or two to scientifically assess the value of a specific practice or supplement. If the results are positive, they’re typically viewed as being “preliminary”. however, if the results are negative or not statistically significant, the remedy in question is considered useless. the problem is that both of these attitudes are over simplifications of the truth. as the old saying goes, “the devil is in the details”. there is no place where that is more true than in the field of medical research.

In order to illustrate how complex it is to properly research an alternative “medicine”, I’d like to present the case of “Theaflavins vs. Cholesterol and Heart Disease”. the reason I’ve chosen this topic is because theaflavins, a class of phytochemicals found primarily in black tea, are currently being marketed as a cardioprotective supplement.

A recent study published in the European Journal of Nutrition casts some doubt on the ability of theaflavins to positively augment lipid levels. this surprising finding is based on a new trial conducted on a group of 102 patients with high cholesterol. the men and women in the study were divided into three sections: 1) received a supplement containing 77.5 mg of “purified black tea theaflavins” daily; 2) a mixture of 75 mg theaflavins + 150 mg of tea catechins and 195 mg of tea polyphenols; and 3) a placebo containing a small amount of plant fiber (cellulose).

• LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides were tested at the start of the study and after weeks 4, 8 and 11.
• There was no significant differences found in the groups receiving any of the three treatments.

The authors of the trial summarized these results in an uncommonly fair minded manner: “Based on these findings it cannot be concluded that tea flavonoids such as theaflavins and catechins are responsible for the putative cholesterol-lowering effect of black tea, at least not with the daily dose applied in the present study”. (1)

This particular trial hasn’t really made much of a splash in the alternative or mainstream media and it’s unlikely to do so anytime soon. But I think it’s important to address it because I believe almost everyone genuinely wants to know which alt-med remedies work and which are a waste of money. That’s why a little detective work is needed here. Theaflavins have been viewed as promising nutraceuticals for managing heart health based on a handful of positive clinical studies that have been trickling in over past several years.

• The December 2009 edition of the British Journal of Nutrition reports that a black tea extract, rich in theaflavins and thearubigins, effectively lowered blood sugar levels, lipids and improved liver function in a group of lab rats. a modulatory effect on body weight was also noted. (2)
• Two recent test tube studies provide a plausible rationale for how theaflavins might encourage reductions in cholesterol concentrations. a laboratory experiment from the University of Kentucky discovered that black tea can inhibit “HMG-CoA reductase”, which is the primary mechanism employed by most cholesterol lowering medications. Researchers in the Netherlands offer up another pathway by which theaflavins can alter lipid levels – by decreasing cholesterol absorption through the intestinal wall. this too is a method by which some medications lower lipids. however, it’s important to note that black tea extract has not demonstrated the same safety concerns as its prescription counterparts. (3,4,5)
• An older study, published in October 2003, determined that drinking 5 cups of black tea/day reduced LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by 11.1%, apolipoprotein B by 5% and lipoprotein(a) by 16.4%. these changes are typically considered favorable with regard to cardiovascular risk. (6)

The cholesterol-lowering track record of black tea first came into question after the publication of the August 2009 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. an Iranian study examined the respective effects of two different types of tea on the lipid profiles of 60 diabetic patients over a one month period. the daily consumption of 2 cups of black tea didn’t yield significant changes in LDL, total cholesterol or triglyceride levels. there was, however, a statistically relevant boost in HDL (“good”) cholesterol. (7)

Unlike black tea, green tea supplements are rarely marketed for their ability to influence lipid levels. But a cursory review of the medical literature appears to provide stronger evidence in favor of green tea.

The most recent human trial on green tea involved 33 patients of varying ages (21-71) who were asked to eat a low-fat diet and take either a 250 mg capsule of green tea extract or a placebo for 8 weeks. half of the participants were given green tea and the remainder the placebo. Blood tests were taken at the start of the trial and at the 8 week mark. after the initial 8 week period, the researchers switched the respective medications given to volunteers. this “crossover” design helps to identify specific changes brought about by the test substance (green tea) vs. the placebo. Minor reductions in LDL (4.5%) and total cholesterol (3.9%) were demonstrated only after the green tea treatment. (8)

A February 2009 trial discovered that a twice-daily dosage of green tea extract, prompted several positive cardiovascular shifts in a group of 111 “healthy adult volunteers”: a drop in both diastolic and systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, malondialdehyde (a measure of oxidative stress) and amyloid-alpha (an inflammatory marker). In addition, a Spanish study from April 2008 found that 5 weeks of daily green tea consumption led to improved vasodilation (vascular function) and a reduction in oxidized cholesterol, which can contribute to plaque accumulation in the arteries and increase risk of heart attacks and stroke. (9,10)

Green Tea + Theaflavins may Improve Cardiovascular Risk Factors

The comparison of black tea and green tea may be more complex than it seems. a group of researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center discovered that combining green tea and (black tea) theaflavins may be just the ticket. a 12 week “double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled” examination of 240 men and women tested the effects of a once-daily capsule of “theaflavin-enriched green tea extract” (375 mg) vs. a placebo. the results of the trial were quite impressive: an 11.3% decline in total cholesterol, -16.4% LDL choleterol and a 2.3% increase in HDL cholesterol. Unfortunately, the green tea + theaflavin therapy in combination with a low-fat diet did not lower triglycerides. On the upside, there were no significant side effects reported. (11)

Update: February 2011 - Theaflavins represent a familiar and unfortunate model in the world of natural health research. Precious few trials have taken place over the past year with respect to black tea and/or theaflavins and heart health. this, despite the frequently compelling data that I cited in the original column. the papers that have been published of late reveal the following: a recent meta-analysis, which reviewed 13 studies on black tea and 5 on green tea, reports that green tea consumption provides more robust protection against coronary artery disease than black tea. the mechanisms by which black tea extracts and/or theaflavins achieve their cardioprotective effects are becoming clearer: a) theaflavins inhibit plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), which likely supports healthier circulation; b) black tea polyphenols reduce cholesterol absorption and “significantly lower levels of serum and hepatic cholesterol, triglycerides, serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased high-density cholesterol” in animals consuming an unhealthy diet; c) black tea also protects against high blood sugar, insulin resistance and subsequent weight gain that typically occurs in rats fed a high-fat diet. Researchers from Kobe University in Hyogo, Japan note that the latter benefits are a consequence of black tea’s ability to improve “glucose uptake activity”. the question that remains is whether or not these laboratory results ultimately translate into real cardiovascular benefits in human populations. the only way to accurately determine and quantify this is through more controlled research. I hope the next time I revisit this topic, there will be more hard data to consider. (12,13,14,15,16)

I have heard so many arguments against exercise for weight loss, but I think this case is one for exercise. I commend Russell for losing his weight. however, I lost weight on about twice the number of calories, because I exercised everyday at least an hour, and I did something that was more strenuous than brisk walking. I bicycled to work everyday, and bicycled everywhere I went on my off days as well. I haven’t gained back an ounce, mainly because I have continued to bicycle, as well as paying close attention to the quality of my diet- keeping it high in fiber and nutrients. it sounds like Russell did not exercise nearly as much as I have been doing and that is why he could only consume 1200 calories a day- when I lost my 90 pounds starting two years ago, when I was bicycling everyday, I lost weight rather quickly on 2000 calories a day, and even lost weight eating close to 3000. of course, if Russell is shorter than me, then that would make a difference. Generally women cannot eat as much as I could and still lose weight, even if they exercise just as much. I do think, however, that being a man, he probably could have lost weight consuming more calories if he was exercising a lot more. the argument against exercise is that it does not enable a person to eat *all* they want, but many cannot eat very much at all in order to lose weight without exercising. I am all for improving the nutrient density and quality of our diet, but cutting calories so much makes healthy eating more difficult. it is hard to consume many healthy nuts on 1200 calories a day. it is hard to fit healthy resistant starches on that calorie level, either. by the way, I went on the same online calculator that he used and it calculated the number of calories I could eat to maintain my weight of 160 at 6 foot at 3075 and that was at the very highest activity level. I DO recommend monitoring what we eat, and I do it, and I usually can eat between 3200 and 3500 calories to maintain my weight. Even at a higher calorie level, it is important to eat all the healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables. But good work, Russell.

Okay, we have some evidence that fructose and glucose result in different responses in the brain, but what about the rest of our bodies? In fact, they should be looking at the liver as it is the biggest filter of toxins in our bodies. Remember, toxins are something that the body doesn’t easily and readily recognize–such as the chemically altered high fructose corn syrup.

When our liver are so bogged down by trying to figure out what to do with HFCS, it cannot readily break down the fats we eat and use them as energy–thus they are stored. and I am not just saying that HFCS is to blame here. Sugar itself is not an entirely necessary or healthy additive to our diets either and is, in the opinion of several health professionals and dietary specialists such as Isabel de Los Rios, the main cause of obesity in American today and not saturated fats as once thought. Was there such an obesity epidemic 20 or 30 years ago? no. Was HFCS and sugar a regular part of the diet back then? no.

Panic Or Anxiety

Eliminate Anxiety and Panic Attacks For Good

If you suffer from…* Palpitations, * a pounding heart, or an accelerated heart rate,* Sweating,* Trembling or shaking,* Shortness of breath,* A choking sensation,* Chest pain or discomfort,* Nausea or stomach cramps,* Derealization (a feeling of unreality),* Fear of losing control or going crazy,* Fear of dying Numbness or a tingling sensation,* Chills or hot flashes

(Source: American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) 2000 Washington, DC.)

…then you’ve experienced firsthand some of the possible symptoms of a panic or anxiety attack. If you are reading this page because a loved one suffers from these symptoms and you are trying to understand or help, it’s hard to appreciate what they go through.

Just try to imagine what it feels like to experience one, if you can.

Here is a typical example:

Standing in a supermarket queue, it’s been a long wait but only one customer to go before you make it to the cashier. Wait, what was that sensation? An unpleasant feeling forms in your throat, your chest feels tighter, now a sudden shortness of breath, and what do you know—your heart skips a beat. “Please, God, not here.”

A quick scan of the territory—is it threatening? Four unfriendly faces queue behind, one person in front. Pins and needles seem to prick you through your left arm, you feel slightly dizzy, and then the explosion of fear as you dread the worst. You are about to have a panic attack.

There is no doubt in your mind now that this is going to be a big one. Okay, focus: Remember what you have been taught, and it is time now to apply the coping techniques. Begin the deep breathing exercise your doctor recommended. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Think relaxing thoughts, and again, while breathing in, think “Relax,” and then breathe out. But it doesn’t seem to be having any positive effect; in fact, just concentrating on breathing is making you feel self-conscious and more uptight.

Stop your panic attacks starting right now with Panic Away.

Okay, coping technique 2:

Panic Or Anxiety

Gradual muscle relaxation. Tense both shoulders, hold for 10 seconds, then release. Try it again. No; still no difference. The anxiety is getting worse and the very fact that you are out of coping techniques worsens your panic. If only you were surrounded by your family, or a close friend were beside you so you could feel more confident in dealing with this situation.

Now, the adrenaline is really pumping through your system, your body is tingling with uncomfortable sensations, and now the dreaded feeling of losing complete control engulfs your emotions. No one around you has any idea of the sheer terror you are experiencing. For them, it’s just a regular day and another frustratingly slow queue in the supermarket.

You are out of options. Time for Plan C.

The most basic coping skill of all is “fleeing.” Excuse yourself from the queue; you are slightly embarrassed as it is now that it is your turn to pay. The cashier is looking bewildered as you leave your shopping behind and stroll towards the door. There is no time for excuses—you need to be alone. You leave the supermarket and get into your car to ride it out alone. Could this be the big one? The one you fear will push you over the edge mentally and physically. Ten minutes later the panic subsides.

It’s 10:30 a.m. How are you going to make it through the rest of the day?

If you suffer from panic or anxiety attacks, the above scenerio probably sounds very familiar. It may have even induced feelings of anxiety and panic just reading it. The particular situations that trigger your panic and anxiety may differ; maybe the bodily sensations are a little different. Or maybe it happened to you for the first time on a plane, in the dentist chair, or even at home, while doing nothing in particular.

If you have ever had what has become known as a “panic attack,” take comfort in the fact that you are by no means alone.

A panic attack always comes with the acute sense of impending doom. You feel you are either about to lose your mind or one of your vital bodily functions is about to cease functioning and you will end your days right there among the canned goods and frozen food.

You are by no means alone; you’re not even one in a million. In America, it is estimated that almost 5% of the population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. For some, it may be the infrequent panic attacks that only crop up in particular situations-like when having to speak in front of others, while, for other people, it can be so frequent and recurring that it inhibits them from leaving their home. Frequent panic attacks often develop into what medical physicians refer to as an “anxiety disorder.”

One of the first steps to regaining control of your life is getting helpful information. This site will give you that, and more.

The beginning of your recovery starts here. What you will learn is that there is a very good chance you are about to end the cycle of panic attacks in your life. You will learn not only to regain the carefree life you remember once having, but will also gain new confidence in living. Your answer to living free from “panic” or “anxiety attacks” is at hand.

This site demonstrates that the panic and anxiety that you have experienced will be the very key to your courage and success.

Begin the road to recovery by browsing through the site. While many of you may have read almost everything you can possibly read relating to panic and anxiety I assure you this site offers something very effective.

Did you know…?

The key difference between someone who is cured of panic attacks and those who are not is really very simple. The people who are cured no longer fear panic attacks. I’ll try to show you how to be one of these people as well.

What if I told you the trick to ending panic and anxiety attacks is to want to have one. That sounds strange, even contradictory, but let me explain.

The trick to panic attacks is wanting to have one-the wanting pushes it away. Can you have a panic attack in this very second? No!

You know the saying that “what you resist, persists.” Well that saying applies perfectly to fear. If you resist a situation out of fear, the fear around that issue will persist. How do you stop resisting–you move directly into it, into the path of the anxiety, and by doing so it cannot persist.

In essence what this means is that if you daily voluntarily seek to have a panic attack, you cannot have one. Try in this very moment to have a panic attack and I will guarantee you cannot. You may not realize it but you have always decided to panic. You make the choice by saying this is beyond my control.

Another way to appreciate this is to imagine having a panic attack as like standing on a cliff’s edge. The anxiety seemingly pushes you closer to falling over the edge.

To be rid of the fear you must metaphorically jump. You must jump off the cliff edge and into the anxiety and fear and all the things that you fear most.

How do you jump? You jump by wanting to have a panic attack. You go about your day asking for anxiety and panic attacks to appear.

Your real safety is the fact that a panic attack will never harm you. That is medical fact. You are safe, the sensations are wild but no harm will come to you. Your heart is racing but no harm will come to you. The jump becomes nothing more than a two foot drop! Perfectly safe.

Go now to start yourself on the way to never having anxiety or panic attacks ever again. Send your Panic Away forever!

Fat loss without drugs would always be my first choice if I were looking to
lose fat, whether I wanted to do it quickly or simply as a long term goal for
my life. Drugs are man made chemicals that introduce toxins into our bodies
and, while some may have immediate fat loss effects, in the long run you do
not know what harm you may be doing to your body. Ideally then you
should look for options for fat loss without drugs.

Here is a website that offers reviews of 3 of the top weight/fat loss guides;
http://www.BeforeUBuyReviews/WeightLossGuides

Humans in general are lazy creatures and typically look for a quick fix. If you
have been looking at the fat on your body and longing to get rid of it you may
also tend to look for the no exercise, swallow a pill type of solution to your
excess fat. I highly recommend against this for your own long term health.

First you need to understand how you managed to accumulate the excess fat
that you are carrying around. Most times it is due to poor eating habits
whether that be eating the wrong foods or eating at the wrong times of the
day. One tip that I can share with you that has worked wonders for me is
making sure that I eat nothing for at least 2 hours before bedtime.

Life is very hectic these days and sometimes it is hard to maintain proper
eating habits. The worst thing you could do though, in my opinion, is to eat
poorly as in a lot of fried foods or fatty foods and then take drugs to help you
lose the fat. You need to eat a balanced diet with the weight being more
towards raw fruits and vegetables.

There are many diet or fat loss guides in the marketplace today. There are also many drugs for weight loss in the marketplace. I think that if you are
looking for a permanent solution then you want to make sure you work at your fat loss without drugs and investigate some of the worthwhile fat loss guides available as many have excellent tips on how to eat properly both in terms of
what and when you should eat.

“ SMOKING IS NOT AN ADDICTION !!”

I bet you think that I’m crazy to say that Smoking is NOT an addiction, especially since we have all been brainwashed, all our lives, to believe that it is….hear me out, please. Smoking is a habit and a very bad one at that.

Have you had it, really had it and decided that it’s time for you to quit smoking? (By the way, no method will work unless you have reached this state of mind).

What I’m reviewing here is a quit smoking resource created by a highly recognized, licensed professional by the name of Valerie Dawson.

First let’s discuss possible reasons why you want to “kick the habit”. Yes, I’ve said it again…smoking is not an addiction, it is a habit. Valerie’s program explains why this is so in down-to-earth, simple facts that detail the logic behind that statement.

Honestly, it was quite a revelation to me when I first heard that notion of smoking being a habit vs an addiction. What this did for me, though, was make me think that if this were in fact the case, then it should be easier to quit than we have been led to believe all along. Wow!! Isn’t that great news for the people struggling to quit.

Okay, so now back to the reasons that may be prompting you to quit;

1. You’re tired of family, friends and possibly also your doctors nagging you to give it up,
2. You feel like an outcast as it gets harder and harder to find a place to smoke,
3. You’re tired of literally seeing your hard-earned money
“going up in smoke”,
4. You hate how your hands, clothes and breath smell as a
Smoker…and possibly also your car and home if you
smoke in these places,
5. You constantly worry about what smoking will do to your
long-term health,
6. You have this guilt that comes from knowing how bad the smoking habit is for you and not being able to stop yourself from continuing to do it,
7. I’m sure you can come up with many more reasons why you should stop, but I think these are the main reasons that apply to most people.

Okay, so now we know the “why” we want or need to break this habit, what’s next? We need to know “how” can we do it.

I can hear many of your now, “I’ve been a smoker for 30+ years. I’ll never be able to give it up.” I understand what you’re thinking but have seen the proof of people just like you who have accomplished this.

How would you feel if I told you that with this program you could be a non-smoker within an hour and it happened for you? What would you say if I told you that there is a 100% guarantee with this method so that there is absolutely no risk for you to give it a try. Once again, nothing will work unless you have made up your mind to quit.

This method is fast, easy, painless, safe and guaranteed. There are no side effects, no weight gain, no fatigue or feelings of withdrawal like those that accompany other stop smoking methods.

Did you know that Nicotine is a stimulant so that when a smoker says, for example, “Let me go and relax and have a cigarette” it is somewhat of an oxymoron as a cigarette cannot relax you? Studies have been done that have shown that what actually relaxes a smoker when they are having a cigarette is the oxygen that they also draw into their bodies while smoking and not the smoking itself. That, again, in my opinion, is another fact that should aid in the quitting process.

Let me just say one thing that I know about you, even though we have never met…you are not stupid or weak or a bad person because you smoke, though many failed attempts to quit may have you feeling this way. You are simply a smoker who wants to quit and that is it !!

So now that you know that it can be done fast, safely and easily with no risk to you, let’s get into more of what it involves so you can realize that TODAY is the day you are going to take your life back and free yourself of this habit.

This method is a combination of the power of hypnosis (I’ll cover in a little while why this should be of no concern to you) with a widely recognized scientific advancement that has, virtually overnight, dramatically changed how people gain control over various aspects of their lives that they couldn’t before. It’s called Neurolinguistic programming, or NLP.

By the way, regarding hypnosis, some people have a misconception about this technique. Let me make it clear here that you remain in control throughout the hypnosis. Therefore, you have no need to worry about behaving like a monkey or, in any way, making a fool of yourself. You will never do anything that you do not want to do.

Here are some quick highlights of smokers who have reclaimed their lives and completely and permanently stopped smoking;

T.G. – Smoked for 30 years, tried several times to quit using other methods. Fell for the “I’ll just have one and then stop” thinking and now after using this method has not smoked for over 10 months.

S.B.- Quit after 1 hour using this method. No cravings or withdrawals. Can even sit next to a smoker and not want to smoke. 4 months and counting.

S.C.- Smoker for 40 years. No urge to smoke, even around smokers.

G.R. – Was very skeptical in the beginning about hypnosis. No desire to smoke now…9 months and counting.

T.B. – Tried all the other available methods, including patches, gum, Wellbutrin ( Zyban), cold turkey, acupuncture…now a non-smoker with no irritability.

You CAN finally quit the smoking habit…if you have made up your mind that this is what you want.

Go for it and reclaim your health.

I wish you the best of health and a long, productive life.
