Quit Smoking using Laser Therapy
Quit Smoking using Laser Therapy
Dr Alan Cranton DC, ND(Ret)
Smoking is one of the toughest addictions to quit.
For people that have been addicted to smoking cigarettes for 20, 30 or 40 years, with many failures in between, quitting is almost insurmountable.
Past failures include the gum, the patch, the drugs that give nightmares and nausea, the hypnotist, the cold turkey, the “other” drugs and the acupuncture needles. We do none of that.
Many have heard of quitting smoking with laser therapy, but not enough people have quit using it, in Thunder Bay. Until now! It’s painless, quick and most people quit after the first session.
We have been helping hundreds and hundreds of people quit smoking using cold laser therapy for nine years. Most people quit after the first session that takes 45 minutes. There is a second and third visit follow-up to lock in the first treatments success. Many patients, about 30%, ‘bank’ the third treatment until they really need it or if the cravings start to return. We have over a 90% success rate!
We cover over 45 laser points with the laser device to activate the points, instead of using needles. These points have a variety of effects which reduce cravings, relax, help with moodiness, detoxify, and reduce hunger and appetite, increase feelings of being satisfied and feeling good. The appointments are relaxing, the laser therapist explains what is going on and gives tips on how to change your environment at home to reduce triggers and cravings before the sessions even begin. You are encouraged to call ahead and come in for a free consultation before you begin. Most just book their first appointment and quit.
The laser points in our program have been used for eons by the Chinese for addictions and the French devised a protocol in the 1950’s that is still used today for quitting smoking. We use a combination of both. The points are primarily around the ears and also on the wrists and legs. Wear loose fitting clothing to your appointments.
There is no pain or sensation while the cold laser light is activating the points and it is a very relaxing session.
