Who are we kidding? Quiting smoking is tough, it's a challenge, & patients should not try quitting smoking by "going cold-turkey." Unaided smoking cessation has serious drawbacks. Because tobacco dependence is a chronic, addictive disease with a well-documented withdrawal syndrome, unaided quitting often results in lapses, discouragement and full relapse.

Thus, your physicians at Power Healing may recommend various therapy options. Only 5 percent to 7 percent of unaided quitters remain abstinent after one year. In contrast, when a person can use treatment, you can double, triple or quadruple success rates.

Your physicians at Power Healing employ options that have a good safety profile, and seek to decrease withdrawal symptoms that can provide a coping mechanism during quit attempts. The therapy a person can utilize at Power Healing may increase your chance of success, nearly doubling quit rates. Because Power Healing employs both Conventional and Complimentary therapies together, a patient can come in for a comprehensive approach. Combination therapy at Power Healing can be helpful as you make the decision to quit. Some current studies indicate increases in the success for patients who combine therapies for withdrawal symptoms or strong urges. In fact, this approach may double abstinence rates.

Early intervention marks the difference between a treatable disease and a terminal one. Your physicians at Power Healing seek to enable a person to make this decision to quit part of your daily routine.

Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 toxins, many of which are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. These chemicals constrict the blood vessels at the top layer of the skin, which reduces blood supply. This means even less oxygen and fewer nutrients reach the skin. Combined with this is the direct exposure of cigarette smoke, which irritates and dries the skin. In the smoker's case, the skin's moisture levels may already be sharply decreased because nicotine has a diuretic effect on the body.

Smokers of all ages reap benefits almost immediately after kicking their dependence on nicotine. The health benefits of quitting are immediate and long-term. Research shows quitting can reduce carbon monoxide levels, improve lung function and decrease your risk of cardiovascular, respiratory and oncological diseases.

Within one year of quitting, people cut the risk of coronary artery disease to half that of a continuing smoker. Within five years, their risk of stroke returns to that of a nonsmoker. The risk of lung and other cancers decreases gradually over 10 years. Life expectancy also generally increases for patients who quit. The British Doctor's Health Study, which has followed 34,500 male physicians since 1951, found that men who stopped smoking around age 40 added about nine years to their lives. Those who stopped around age 50 added six years. Quitting around age 60 added at least three extra years of life.

The response to treatment varies from individual to individual, and depends upon one's healing ability. Some people may only need a few treatments while others may need 12 or more. The average number of treatments is 6-12. The best thing to do is get an evaluation by your physician at Power Healing, & see if you are an appropriate candidate. Because the complexity involved in suppressing symptoms can appear daunting, when you join Power Healing, your physician will guide & tailor your treatment for you. The benefits a person can find when you enroll with Power Healing can include reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, arthritis, and a host of degenerative diseases associated with aging. Therefore, while the objective of the patient is immediate relief, as a person begins to use these therapies, Power Healing can provide a long-term solution in treating the underlying causes of problems and helping to maintain an optimal state of health.
