subject: Quit Smoking For Good Through Hypnotherapy [print this page] Almost all smokers have it in them a want to change and quit. But no amount of sentiment seems to be deeper than the glaring warnings. Lung cancer, mouth cancer, cracked lips, halitosis, loss of a lovelife, and even death. Still, smoking seems to overwhelm them and they are desperate.
Now try this: imagine a greener world where the air cleanses your lung and makes you breathe freely. Imagine friendly relationships, a longer life with your better half and kids. Imagine throwing all the cigarettes into that ever-reliable trash bin. Bliss and freedom within your reach. Just what are we getting at here? Studies have demonstrated the marvelous effect of hypnotherapy on the success rate of quitting smoking among die-hard smokers.
A study presented in the 2007 international scientific assembly of the American College of Chest Physicians described that hospitalised patients who smoke were more likely to cease smoking through hypnotherapy than patients utilising other smoking cessation methods.
The study, reprinted with license by the online digest Science Daily, suggested that patients applying hypnotherapy demonstrated bigger disposition to give up smoking at six months, compared to patients active in NRT or Nicotine Replacement Therapy or those who just awaken up one day and sound out they're up smoking.
Dr. Faysal Hasan, MD, FCCP of Salem MA-based North Shore Medical Centre, reported of the detected effectiveness of hypnotherapy in helping patients to stop smoking. Dr. Hasan expressed confidence hypnotherapy will be involved as one of the methods to aid patients who want to cease smoking after being discharged from hospital confinement.
Aside from Dr. Hasan, Dr. Alvin Thomas, MD, FCCP, president of the American College of Chest Physicians, welcomed the outcomes of the experiment involving hypnotherapy and smoking cessation. Dr. Thomas expressed that as medical professionals, they are constantly caring after the benefit of patients suffering from smoking dependency by way of finding more competent paths to assist patients quit. Dr. Thomas receives hypnotherapy with high enthusiasm and hopes that it will soon be recognized into the multiple approaches towards ending smoking dependence.
