QUIT SMOKING 95% SUCCESS

-

There has to be a better way to quit smoking. There must be a better way than nicotine replacemen­t therapy (NRT) because it has an extremely low success rate. Most people do not know this. No it isn’t you. Have you tried it and it didn’t work? Well, really it isn’t you. Most people that try NRT fail or the success is short lived. What do they then tell you? Try it again! And again! And again! An Ontario Tobacco Cessation group that trains therapists actually tells them that it takes an average of 30 times to quit! I think they are doing something wrong. It just doesn’t make any sense, does it?

95% SUCCESS

We spoke to Windsor’s top rated specialist for Quit Smoking. We spoke to Body & Mind of Windsor because they have an unpreceden­ted 95% success rate at completion of their program. They have been in the same location serving our local community since the 1990’s. They have a proven record of success and 1,000s of successful clients. Body & Mind Clinical Director Rick Saruna who is a therapist and counsellor knows the frustratio­n and pain people go through while trying to quit smoking. “I went through all this. I watched my wife struggle and she did everything they said to do. Nothing worked and it just did not make any sense. She was not a weak willed person. She was running businesses, raising kids and more determined than most.”

“IHADTO FIGURE IT OUT”

Saruna, out of his own frustratio­n and desire to keep tobacco out of his family and home he went to work and did research. Unlike the government that gives out $10 million to tobacco research without an answer, Rick Saruna was relentless until he found something that worked. “This was personal and this was not an option. I had to figure it out so I spent several years researchin­g methods, processes, systems and techniques. Nothing seemed to have the success we needed because nothing worked. I studied what “they” recommende­d and discovered that the most recommende­d ways had actually terrible success and those people that stopped seemed to have difficulty not thinking about smoking. Not good. So I went outside the box.”

CERTIFIED BY U OF T MEDICAL SCHOOL

Over the years Rick Saruna studied and became proficient in Laser Therapy, several specialtie­s of Hypnosis including Medical Hypnosis, becoming a Hypnosis Instructor, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulnes­s, Motivation­al Interviewi­ng, he discovered his own emotional release process called Rapid Emotional Release and he wrote a book on removing negativity called Thought Shifting. He also got certified by the University of Toronto Medical School in Cessation Counsellin­g.

“ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE”

“It wasn’t easy but it never seemed like work. The deeper I got into it the more I realized why people have difficulty trying to quit smoking. There did not exist a program that took care of all the different aspects of the smoking behaviour. Until I put this program together. My wife immediatel­y quit smoking without cravings, withdrawal­s and especially without the thoughts. It was one of the best moments of my life.” The Body & Mind Quit Smoking Program is a unique combinatio­n of processes not available anywhere else because it is based on many different modalities. Their system works on a combinatio­n of Education, Laser, a special process of Hypnosis and Support. The education is important because people always know what is going on and there are no surprises. “We believe that informed clients can take responsibi­lity and be a huge part of the process. We encourage questions and believe in support,” they told us. The non invasive pain free Laser is used to remove the nicotine craving. Nicotine is actually out of your body in 2 to 3 days. Their specially developed hypnosis technique is stress control based so it removes the old thoughts and helps people sleep better and think better thoughts. All hypnosis sessions are recorded for the client to keep. Everyone can be hypnotized and it has nothing to do with “will” but more a desire for change. The initial session can be anywhere from 1 and a half to 2 hours. Then people come in over the next 3 weeks to make sure they are following some simple instructio­ns and to reinforce the new changes and to answer any questions. This is a very powerful program for anyone that is ready to quit smoking and tired of all those things that just don’t work. It is natural and requires no chemical drugs, patches or gum. It is Windsor developed and proven. If you are ready to become tobacco free this system is different. It can help you become tobacco free no matter what you may have tried before. Body & Mind -2303 Central Ave., Windsor run a fulltime therapy practice 6 days a week. They also work with stress, anxiety, emotional issues, and counseling for individual­s and families. They are also known for their Weight Loss Programs and Quit Smoking Program. They are currently accepting new clients. They can be reached at 519-948-0078.
