Beware of Passing Off
If another practitioner has asked you to look at our website or copied content from our website, they are 'passing off' to imply they provide the same treatment when in fact, they do not. Click here for further details.
Does this treatment really work?
Yes. We have treated around 3,000 smokers in the last 6 years and most clients have stopped smoking after one treatment session. Our treatment has also be featured on the Tonight program where Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter stop smoking after one treatment session. Our treatment works quickly, if you attend your appointment with a strong craving to smoke, it is usually gone within the hour or shortly afterwards. No other treatment helps stop the cravings to smoke so quickly and hence why so many people stop smoking at our clinic.
Are your testimonials genuine?
Yes. We have far more client testimonials than any other stop smoking treatment facility. Our genuine and comprehensive customer comments are provided months and even years after treatment and confirm how good it actually is. We have the original copies available which prove this treatment and its results. All our client testimonials have been verified by independent solicitors. Click here to read solicitors confirmation.
Why have I only just heard about this method?
If you have only just started looking for the best ways to stop smoking then that would explain why you have just become aware of us. Had you been looking for the last 6 years, you would be aware of our services and our very successful stop smoking treatment.
How many treatments would I need?
Most of our clients (approximately 90%) stop smoking after their first treatment and (approximately 98%) after two sessions to cancel any residual nicotine patterns. Clients smoking in the region of 40+ per day are more likely to require the free second treatment within 30 days.
How does dealing with the physical desire help?
Smoking is caused by the 'feeling' that you want/need a cigarette, if you don't have any cigarettes you will go and buy some, so the physical need motivates our actions. Once the physical desire has gone/diminished
there is no urge to smoke and so it is much easier to break the cycle, stop smoking and regain control. Helping with the physical desire is the key to stopping smoking quickly.
Is this treatment safe?
Yes this treatment is very safe and there are usually no side-effects or discomfort, although individual experiences may vary.
What preparation is required?
Very little. You do not require days of preparation, simply continue to smoke as normal until your appointment, only smoke one brand of cigarette for at least 3 days before your appointment and stop all gum and patches. Please try to avoid caffeine & alcohol for 12 hours before your treatment and 24 hours after treatment. After treatment it helps to drink plenty of water (up to 2
litres) to aid the detox process. If you want to feel the instant effects of the treatment please attend your appointment with a strong craving to smoke which you can feel begin to die down and stop during treatment. No additional suppliments are required or needed.
What happens over the next 24 hours after treatment?
After the initial treatment clients do not normally experience any further desire to smoke as the treatment continues to work away. If clients have not smoked and have no desire to smoke during this period, they are usually fine going forwards as most smokers agree the first 24 hours are the most difficult to overcome. We find that if a client does require a top up session over the next 30 days, it is usually because of a 'slip-up' rather than an overwhelming desire to smoke.
Do I have to take any other medication?
No. But we provide our own non-medicated tablets which help maintain the effects of the treatment. They have no side effects and are optional to the treatment process. Some clients use them for 2 or 3 days then stop as they are no longer required.
Is this method better than other smoking cessation methods?
Yes, as it neutralises the nicotine which helps stop the cravings to smoke and detox the body of nicotine. Other products like NRT actually put fresh nicotine into the body and rarely work as the individual is still nicotine dependent. NHS/GP's normally provide drug-based treatments (NRT) such as Patches (6%) Zyban (18%) and Champix (22%) even though they have some of the lowest success rates out of any of the smoking cessation methods. They have been critised by many stating ‘current NRT treatment methods simply do not work and are not value for money' and “NRT products are obviously unfit for the purpose for which they are sold' -
Professor Michael Siegel.
How successful are NRT products?
The NHS smoking cessation service say 'you are up to 4 times more likely to quit for good with NHS support' which at best is only 12% but this is based upon people not smoking whilst wearing a nicotine patch which is misleading as they are still nicotine dependent and is contrary to other evidence that the NHS has finally acknowledged that progress on reducing smoking has stalled as the long term success of NRT products is just 1.6% as all NRT products such as patches, gum, lozenges and zyban still deliver nicotine into the body, as soon as use of the product is stopped, the cravings for nicotine return and so people start smoking again. Other studies suggest willpower alone is better than NHS and NRT products. Professor Michael Siegel added 'with a long-term smoking cessation percentage of only 1.6%, one can hardly call NRT treatment an 'effective' intervention. In fact, the logical conclusion is that NRT is a dismal intervention and a waste of tax payers money'.
Are GP/NHS smoking cessation services value for money?
No. Despite spending approximately £260 million per annum on NHS smoking cessation services, it costs the tax payer approximately £695.00 per smoker when the cost of medication is included in the overall cost. A spokesman for the Department of Health said: 'Smokers that attempt to quit without assistance are significantly less likely to quit successfully than those who quit with support. The unsupported quit rate is around 3 per cent, this is doubled (6%) when a smoker uses stop smoking medicines, and quadrupled (12%) when a smoker uses the NHS Stop Smoking Services. So the NHS has the highest costs and lowest success rate of any stop smoking method.
Are NRT products linked to cancer?
Yes, a study has now linked the nicotine in NRT products, which were thought to be a safer alternative to smoking actually cause cancer, this is a major blow to the NHS who say '
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) works differently to cigarettes. It does not contain toxic chemicals like tar or carbon monoxide, and does not cause cancer' as they
have based their entire efforts around NRT products to help smokers quit and write over 3 million prescriptions each year to the makers of these nicotine-based products, critics have said 'the NHS should cease using all NRT products immediately'.
Does the UK have the best healthcare system in Europe?
No, far from it. The Centre for Policy Studies think tank report on addiction policy also blamed NICE, 'for NICE effective treatment interventions are limited to those treatments which have been subject to randomized controlled experimentation and are clinically based (drugs). This automatically limits the knowledge or treatments they can drawn on'. The UK is ranked 17th for healthcare in Europe even behind Estonia. It's no coincidence that the countries above the UK embrace non-pharmaceutical treatments in their healthcare (pluralistic) whereas the UK does not and there are no restrictions on patient choice, unlike in the UK. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the Dutch system to be one of the best healthcare systems in the world in 2008 and was voted best in Europe in 2008 & 2009, it stands in opposition to one single approach or method [monopoly] since private and public services coexist side by side. Patients choose their practitioners according to need and can freely access different types of hospitals or private services. In the rest of Europe 'patient choice' is already established and smokers are free to choose between state or private services to help them stop smoking.
What is the addiction challenge?
It is to improve patient treatment options and establish which method of treatment is the most efficacious with the best patient outcomes. We welcome ANY challenge to test our treatment methods against any 'evidence based clinical method' NHS treatment for addiction and dependency' because they do not work. Our test would be carried out over 10 days at the end of that period the individual would be dependence free and not reliant on any replacement medication. The NHS challenge has been in effect since January 2007 and no clinician, GP, scientist or medical professional has come forward to take part. Annually the NHS costs the tax payer £1.5billion for drug, alcohol and smoking treatments which 'do not work, have poor outcomes and bad results' as targets have focused on the 'numbers in treatment' rather than the outcome of that treatment, this is wasteful and irresponsible at any time, especially in the current economic climate.
Who is to blame for the current failure of NHS treatments?
It is widely acknowledged there is a culture of inertia and inefficiency that is rife throughout the public sector. In the public sector there is no competitive edge; no incentive to cuts costs or improve efficiency. We have said since 2006 the blame lies with the 'monolithic bureaucracy' and 'monumental incompetence' by those who were responsible for commissioning new treatments and a Health Committee of MPs agree 'the trusts' perceptions of how they were performing were often removed from reality', and 'it was concerned about ‘complacency' among NHS managers, accusing PCTs of having ‘misplaced confidence' in their own ability, the committee have returned a damning verdict on the standard of NHS commissioning, as they should be taking the lead and introducing better treatment methods but are failing to do so as ex-health secretary Andy Burnham stated last autumn [2009] that 'in-house NHS bodies should be the "preferred provider" for existing services'. This decision was referred to the OFT for a ruling as being unfair. In practice, this is irrespective of whether it can supply the required services, or to the required standards, which of course they can not. Stephen Dunn, director of strategy for the East of England Health Authority says the complete opposite, 'We need the best provider and this is the only way forward. Only a private company, he says, will get 'real innovation and efficiency' into the NHS process'. As they [DoH/NHS] can not agree amongst themselves, nothing gets done and so they carry on with the same 'failing methods' hence why NHS quit smoking rates are so low, just 12%. The CBI argee that policy actually restricted innovation and change rather than utilising it and 'public procurement should be a driver, not a blocker, of innovation'. Kathy Gyngell the chair of addiction policy at the Center for Policy Studies said 'My plea for policy makers to draw on the real life, non laboratory, experience of those who have recovered from addiction and those who successfully help others to do so...' NHS stop smoking success rates will continue to be low as current treatments simply do not work.
The £1billion Non-Treatment Disaster
Despite spending over £10bn over the last 10years the NHS have the worst success rates in helping smokers to quit at around 12% per annum. The Centre for Policy Studies report on addiction policy confirmed 'Labour was squandering billions on ineffective treatment' and 'costly treatment programmes which do not work'. Critics agree 'the new government need to act and end this systemic failure which is unacceptable and a waste of public funds as over £1billion per annum is spent on ineffective and outdated methods of treating addiction, which do not work and have no real success rate or measurable value'. Critics say the situation is deplorable, 'how can one expect treatment outcomes to improve if they continue with the same failed treatment methods? It's a classic definition of 'madness' expecting better results while using the same failed treatment methods which have been proven 'ineffective' for the last 40 years, in effect, continue doing the same thing but expecting better results'. A Report by the National Audit office confirms 'The NHS is spending £1.2 billion in 2009-10. But there was no framework in place for evaluating the achievements of the 2008 Drug & Alcohol Strategy which limited the Departments' understanding of the overall value for money achieved and where future resources should be prioritised. Critics say 'this is ridiculous, they were spending £1.2bn a year on their treatment strategy but had no idea of whether or not it was successful. The lack of a 'evaluative framework' was either, intentional so the NTA can hide their dismal success rate or it was gross incompetence'. The Tory's have said they will abandon Labours failed 'harm reduction' policy and focus on 'abstinence' rather than 'addiction maintenance as 'we think what really matters, is whether you are better after your treatment', a Conservative spokesman said. But the BMA are already trying to strangle the reforms to prevent patient choice, improve
efficiency
and reduce NHS costs.
How long does it take to gain NHS recognition?
Usually the NHS takes around 8 to 10 years to recognise a different treatment process, which critics say is 'excessive and unnecessary'. We can draw a direct comparison between our 'frequency' treatment for addiction and dependency and a 'laser' cancer treatment called Photodynamic therapy or PDT. Very few people have even heard about PDT yet it is an approved NHS treatment and avoids the risks of surgery, cuts the use of hospital beds and removes the need for repeated hospital visits required by chemo and radiotherapy and could save the healthcare system up to £2billion pounds a year, according to estimates by cancer specialists at University College Hospital, London. But just 300 cancer patients out of more than 300,000 were referred for treatment last year, which is just 0.1%. Many patients have never even told about PDT or they are told (incorrectly) that it is experimental and doesn't work. However after 10 years, cancer experts have now called for more NHS patients to be given this 'pioneering' (even though it is 10 years old) laser treatment as an alternative to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As you can see, the NHS is very slow to respond to change regardless of how successful a non-pharmaceutical treatment is, indeed experts have warned about the NHS being left behind due to its slow-tech approach. Sir David Frost explains how he is 'astonished and deeply troubled' and how it is 'impossible to understand the lack of or non existent support' the NHS shows for breakthrough treatments. The same apathy applies to our breakthrough treatment for addiction and dependency. We will continue with our efforts to gain NHS recognition for our 'frequency' stop smoking treatment.
Why do you have much higher success rates than other stop smoking clinics?
Because we do not use NRT products, we use a superior treatment and formulas (Formula 23®) which is not available elsewhere. We are the UK's leading clinic and have treated over 5,000 clients in the last 6 years without the use of hypnosis, lasers or nutritional supplements. We are the only clinic to develop frequency based technology to detoxify serious alcohol & drug dependency and therefore achieve much better smoking results.
What does this treatment actually do?
Our treatments help stop the physical 'cravings, need or desire' for a specific substance, i.e. nicotine, by neutralising the substance itself, after treatment the nicotine is no longer active and so the body doesn't need it any more. Depending on how many cigarettes are consumed each day, will determine how many hours of treatment are required to remove it completely. This helps the individual to break the cycle and stop smoking.
How quickly does this treatment work?
We ask clients to attend their appointment with a strong craving to smoke. Whilst undergoing the treatment session the individual can feel their cravings begin to subside and by the end of the treatment session they have usually gone or shortly afterwards. There is no better proof than wanting to smoke before the appointment and not wanting a cigarette after the appointment.
How does it work so quickly?
Our treatment is based on physics rather than chemistry and works quickly to neutralise or erase the nicotine in the body, so the body does not know it has had that substance and hence does not crave it any more. The body has a natural detox cycle to clear unwanted toxins, once the individual has stopped smoking, the body will naturally detox of all nicotine and so the individual will have no desire for that substance.
How was this treatment developed?
Our treatments represent the biggest breakthrough in addiction therapy in the last 70 years. The basis of biofrequency is not new and was developed in Germany in 1977. By using the correct frequencies in the right order it is possible to remove a substance (nicotine) completely and help stop the body's dependency for it. Over the last 6 years we have treated more than 5,000 clients to either, stop smoking, stop drinking or stop using drugs, so the treatment is well established, proven and tested.
How does it work?
It is a scientific fact that every substance including nicotine has frequency. Any clinical scientist will tell you, laboratory results will only stand up when the treatment is used in the real world. Medication (chemistry) targets cells to evoke change in the patients' condition however it is no secret that over 90% of all drugs only work for 30% to 50% of the patients who take them due to their genes which interfere in some way with the medicine. Frequencies do not rely on genetics as they target a specific substance(s) rather than an individual's cells and so produces much higher response rates. It is well established in physics that everything has its own frequency range including: living creatures, organs, plants and disease even substances like nicotine, alcohol or drugs have their own frequency range. Our treatment works similar to how a radio picks up a frequency broadcast from hundreds of miles away, the body picks up the treatment frequencies via the main acupuncture points on the wrists (no needles are used during this treatment) to successfully cancel/erase the effects of nicotine throughout the entire body and stimulate the production of endorphins so withdrawal symptoms are greatly reduced. It is safe, painless and very successful. Click here for further details.
Are there any side-effects?
Not usually as no medication is involved however individual experiences may vary as with any treatment method.
Do you need to use a laser & hypnosis as well?
No, our 1 hour treatment is very successful without their use.
What about the habit?
A lot of smokers are concerned about the 'habit' of smoking and how they will cope. Our clients find that after treatment the cycle of smoking has been broken and the physical action of smoking 'habit' is no longer required and stops very easily. Please read our client comments, which confirm the habit is not an issue or something to worry about for most people.
I 'm a bit sceptical?
This is normal as some individuals are either sceptical or apprehensive about any treatment process they undergo and hope it will be the same for them. Many of our clients come through referrals, so please do not let your initial scepticism stop you from using this treatment to stop smoking.
Do you offer a money back guarantee?
We do not offer a money back guarantee for a very good reason, if the individual has nothing invested in the treatment process there is no reason not to restart smoking and claim a refund however at this point the individual is still smoking. We find that if the individual makes a financial commitment they are less likely to restart on a 'whim' and therefore remain a non-smoker. No addiction treatment facility is able to offer a guarantee as any treatment carries an element of risk and individual responsibilities and experiences may vary.
Does this treatment imply I will never smoke again?
No. This treatment helps stop the current use of cigarettes to help the individual to stop smoking now. The long-term success of any treatment is the responsibility of the individual and not a third party.
How many treatments sessions may I need?
Most people only need 1 treatment to stop smoking and we provide a second treatment if required, free of charge, within 30 days.
