How Relaxing Affects Your Genes

huffingtonpost.com Recent research showed that yoga is able to change the expression of genes involved in immune functioning, and now a new study shows that relaxation in general can have a similar effect.

Hypnosis Statistics for Smoking Cessation
Here is a brief review of some of the research evidence on the effectiveness of hypnosis for smoking cessation:
90.6% Success Rate for Smoking Cessation Using Hypnosis
Of 43 consecutive patients undergoing this treatment protocol, 39 reported remaining abstinent from to***co use at follow-up (6 months to 3 years post-treatment). This represents a 90.6% success rate using hypnosis.

87% Reported Abstinence From To***co Use With Hypnosis
A field study of 93 male and 93 female CMHC outpatients examined the facilitation of smoking cessation by using hypnosis. At 3-month follow-up, 86% of the men and 87% of the women reported continued abstinence from the use of to***co using hypnosis.

81% Reported They Had Stopped Smoking After Hypnosis
Thirty smokers enrolled in an HMO were referred by their primary physician for treatment. Twenty-one patients returned after an initial consultation and received hypnosis for smoking cessation. At the end of treatment, 81% of those patients reported that they had stopped smoking.

Study of 71 smokers showed that after a two-year follow up, patients that quit with hypnosis were twice as likely to remain smoke-free than those who quit on their own.

Another expert offered some advice. "If you smoke, you should quit," said Dan Jacobsen, from the Center for To***co Control at North Shore-LIJ Health System in Great Neck, N.Y. "There are a lot of good methods, programs and resources out there if you want to try to quit smoking," he added.

"Smoking is just toxic to our bodies," said Jacobsen. "It's the number one preventable cause of death and disease."

I was a heavy smoker for 38 years. I quit smoking over 13 years ago but 8 years ago developed a very debilitating disease called emphysema. I would not wish this on my worst enemy if I had one. I was certified as a hypnotist in 2009 and have been searching for a smoking cessation program that had a very high success rate of helping people quit smoking for good. I have found this program and have been using it very successfully to help many people quit this deadly disgusting habit. I put a lot of time and research into finding the best program to help people that have made up their minds to quit this filthy life threatening and very expensive habit. If you bring me the desire to quit smoking, if you are fed up with this disgusting filthy habit, if you are sick of burning up your hard earned money then I can take away the cravings and help you to be a nonsmoker for the rest of your life!!
