Testimonials
Smoking and Weight Loss:
... I am even more pleased with all I have accomplished over the past 2 weeks. Since I had extra pounds to shed, I decided to combine the smoking and weight programs. After the first treatment, I had zero cravings for nicotine and I never wanted another cigarette or felt the desire for sweets ! This made it easier to concentrate on other issues I needed help with. My cough, raspy voice and shortness of breath stopped immediately .
My hot flashes were better after a few days and completely gone before 2 weeks. With my new way of eating, my weight continues to come off gradually. My body, neck and back used to ache all the time. After 3 treatments, I have no head or body aches and THAT truly amazes me ! I am calmer, happier and shocked that I could feel so good in such a short period of time.

Smoking Testimonial:
"Terrific program! I had tried so many times before, but was unsuccessful. One visit to The STOP Clinic and I never looked back. I had no cravings or withdrawal pains.
Over the years, I've referred many of my friends and associates who have also enjoyed the same success as I have. This was the perfect choice for us !"
~ Jeff M., Cary,
North Carolina
Fibromyalgia / Rheumatoid Arthritis:
"Now, I am elated to report that after 3 weeks of treatments and counseling sessions at The STOP Clinic, eating the right foods and detoxing my body,
I am pain and medication free !
I cannot express in words the excitement I feel and how happy my husband is for having the "old me" back …
I still work too hard and some days I am exhausted, but it’s the right kind of exhaustion that goes away after you sleep. ... (Did I mention I can sleep now without sleep meds ? That alone is worth the treatments!)"
~ Dottie L., Lexington,

Are these feelings familiar to YOU ?
Motivated
Smoker:
It is simply
time to stop. I know this is hurting me and I want to take the control back. I
am eating better, exercising, and have already reduced my smoking. I just need
some help to get past those worst days of nicotine withdrawal.
Procrastinating Smoker:
My Grandfather smoked until he was 90 years old and
cigarettes didn't kill him ! I can't breathe too well, exercise, climb stairs
or play tennis like I used to, but I'm not as bad as some people I see that are
my age. I'll quit if it ever starts to become a real problem
.
Habitual
Smoker: Smoking out of habit, I often pick up a cigarette
without even thinking about it: while driving, after dinner, before bed, first
thing in the morning. I don't know if I am addicted; it's just a "part" of me
but I can't seem to reduce the amount I am smoking.
"Social"
Smoker:
I started smoking once or twice a week, then
once or twice a day and now it is increasing, steadily. I think I could put
them down if I could go one or two weeks without smoking, but I am thinking
about them more often, now.
"Closet"
Smoker:
No one knows that I smoke ... not even my
medical doctor or my insurance company. I'm tired of it and know that I may
probably "miss the game of deception".
"Dieting"
Smoker:
I started smoking when I was in college to lose weight. Now
that I am older, I am afraid to stop smoking because I don't want to gain
weight. I often skip either breakfast, lunch or sometimes both. Now I am tired
all the time; my original plan is not working anymore.
Bored
Smoker:
My life is so boring, all I do at night is
watch TV, play video games, eat and smoke. Sometimes, if I am between projects
at work, I just smoke to pass the time.
Glamorous
smoker:
I only smoke when I go out with my friends and
have a few beers. Smoking looks cool, I enjoy it and all of my friends are
doing it; however, I seem to be increasing the amount and times I am
smoking.
Escape
Smoker:
At work, smoking gives me an excuse to take a
break. At home, when my family annoys me, smoking gives me an excuse to be away
from them ... a way to claim my space and time.
Emotional
Smoker:
Smoking makes me feel better. Sometimes, I
feel it is my only friend ... it is always there for me when I need it and I
need it a lot. If I stopped using it, how would I deal with the negative
thoughts, feelings and pain?
Hard Core,
Addicted Smoker:
I've been smoking for over 40 years and I've tried
everything to stop! I feel like
the cigarette is one of my appendages ... my best friend ... and I can't give it
up. I need a program that offers support and helps me understand why I am so
hooked.
Mental
Smoker:
Smoking helps me focus and stay on task. When
I stop smoking, I feel fuzzy headed, dizzy and disoriented. Smoking is an
important part of my life and I am not sure I want to give it
up.
Smoker with
Multiple Health Problems:
I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
no energy, depressed, anxious, can't sleep and feel like my health is spiraling
downward. I need some help ... I don't even know what I am doing
wrong.
Overweight
Smoker:
I smoke too much and my weight is out of
control. I am worried about contracting diabetes or a heart related disease. I
stopped smoking once and started to gain weight. So, I started smoking again,
but the weight did not go away! I need help to get back on track and learn how
to eat in a way to bring my numbers back in line.
Chronic Pain
Smoker: I hurt all the time. Smoking takes my mind off the pain and I
think it helps me feel better. How could I deal with the pain if I did not
smoke?
Rebellious or
Denial Smoker:
Smoking is the only area where I have total control
and so far, it is not hurting me. IF it ever starts to hurt me, I will
stop.
Private Smoker: My smoking is a very personal
pastime for me and I do not like being in a group situation.
How do I
register?
To join a program, call our office. We will
send confirmation forms and tools to begin your smoking cessation transition
after your registration is complete.
If you are working on multiple health problems, you should
enroll in the private program (3 to 5
visits). When you call to sign up, we can guide you in the right
direction.
If you are an overweight smoker (of 10-20 pounds or more) or have a fear of being overweight,
you may want to do a combination
smoking and weight-loss program. Call to discuss this option.
Sign up to receive our
"12 Secrets to
Success"
e-book.
Our treatment
blocks the cravings from the drugs you are working on and your body feels 10 days into the future ...
relaxed and pain free. Once the toxins begin leaving, your body begins healing itself with
its own natural defense mechanisms. We will
suggest ways to heal and
detox faster than "standard", available methods.
What Should You
Expect?
Any addiction is at least
50 percent mental and 50 percent physical. The first visit consists
of a counseling
session and the ear
stimulation treatment which eliminates the cravings and withdrawal pains.
Prior to your first visit, we send tools
to prepare you for the mental part of
your addiction and help you begin
the detox process.
We will take care of the
physical part of the addiction with the treatment.
We may use hypnosis or
neurolinguistic programing to deal with the mental addiction, if or when
necessary. A few days later, we like to see you again and repeat the process for
reinforcement to make sure you are 100% successful . Once
you have completed our program, you may come back any time in the future for
"tune-ups", and
ongoing support.
During the treatment, you may feel a warm or
tingly feeling followed by a sense of deep relaxation. The drug cravings vanish and you feel a sense of relief.
Some people report the treatment made them feel
as though they had never smoked.
We combine stress and
weight management techniques in our counseling sessions. Many patients have
followed our suggestions for eating and lost as many as 1 to 6 pounds during
their first week. Our goal for you is long term success while feeling the
best that you possibly can.
The STOP Clinic
uses a natural and common sense method of treatment to help the body
begin a natural
detoxification process. With our program, you do
not have to worry about feeling drugged, headaches, insomnia or
weight gain !
Our program helps you feel calmer in just a few
minutes and more alive in just a few days. It
takes 21 days to make or break a habit. We will be there to assure your success. We can make your healing experience an
easier one. We look forward to seeing
you soon.
History
The United States began using this treatment in
the 1950's to treat heroin and cocaine
addiction.
The American Medical Association notes that this treatment is very successful for the
treatment of drug abuse and obesity. Eastern medicine used this treatment for
thousands of years to treat many different ailments.
In the 1970's a
similar program was developed by a Judge in Dade County Florida to treat drug
addiction and is called "The First Time Offenders Program". Their
treatment program has only a 3% rate of recidivism, that is a
97 percent success
rate !
The Procedure
After a relaxation treatment, we will clean your
ears, and administer a mild electrical stimulus to the outer part (or concha) of
the ear.
Mild electrical
stimulation of the 10th cranial nerve causes the brain to release endorphins, naturally occurring analgesic proteins capable of
decreasing the body's sensitivity to pain. (The American Medical Association
Encyclopedia of Medicine)
The release of endorphins, through a treatment called
auricular therapy (aka "ear acupuncture"), can blunt the symptoms of nicotine
withdrawal. Advocates say such treatments also help patients lose weight and
fight drug addiction. (The
American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine)
The treatment protocol we are using is a derivative of Chinese
acupuncture for rapid drug detoxification. No needles or drugs are used. This
reaction causes the body to relax, eliminating or reducing the cravings,
diminishing the desire for nicotine, and eliminating the withdrawals usually
associated with going "cold turkey."
The treatment is so relaxing that many people actually
fall asleep, then leave with a feeling of calmness and sometimes euphoria.
Our treatment is safe, painless and
relaxing ! We provide follow-up and on-going support !
Testimony ( of an addicted, "die hard"
smoker with chronic pain: )
"After smoking for 48
years, I found The STOP Clinic.
I was
having sharp shoulder pain and sciatic pain in my back and leg. For the previous
2 years, I had chiropractic help on a weekly basis. I hurt so bad, I could not
lay on my back.
Since I
was a “die hard” and addicted
smoker, I chose the combination, private program of 5 visits rather than
the group sessions. I knew I needed some serious help.
When I
signed up, I did not realize
the treatments would help with my chronic pain. Leslie mentioned that my
pain might go away, but she did not promise.
During the
treatments, I could feel the
pain leaving my body.
Every
night before bed, I would worry and wonder when the sharp pain would wake me up.
Each morning, I woke up and thought, “When is it going to start hurting again?”
The pain never came
back.
After my
second treatment the pain was
completely gone and I felt like I could “run a marathon”.
I had
no nicotine cravings
after the first time I left your office. This “blows me away”. There may be a
thought … but there was NO craving.
I feel this was a miracle that I
found you. I feel as though I have never smoked and I can’t believe my
chronic pain is gone. I am glad my friends are coming in to work with you, too."
