Are Cigarette Side Effects A Reason For Concern? Kill The Urge by Quitting Smoking
Nov 25th
How many inner dialogs have you had with yourself about your smoking addiction? How many times have you complained to family and friends that you want to end the habit but seem to continue to smoke away despite the health risks and the cost? And how many methods have you tried that just flopped? If you are like most people struggling with smoking, you will remember such shattered hopes and may have felt nothing will really come through for you. Unless you tried hypnosis to stop smoking, you may have been right.
If you sincerely want to stop smoking, hypnosis is the sensible choice for true cures. Hypnotherapy to quit smoking can address the most significant reasons that keep you smoking as well as giving you the tools and guidance to be successful once and for all. This is not a mere parlor trick, but a proven treatment approved by the AMA since 1958, and one with accreditation and a strong code of ethics.
Hypnosis does not change your moral values and a certified professional hypnotherapist will respect your privacy and rights like any other medical professional. You do want one who is verified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and who supports their stringent ethical and professional standards. Included in their code is putting the mental and physical welfare of clients uppermost. They also defend clients from mental, physical or verbal abuse, and refer any client as appropriate.
A trained hypnotherapist has the skills to address problem behavior, and hypnotherapy to stop smoking is the second most frequent type they practice. Using methods that are considered state of the art, which may include the precision of NLP, hypnosis and the ongoing extra support of self-hypnosis stop smoking CD’s as well as any prescription modalities a PCP might also dictate for a patient. Using hypnosis does not mean other measures are prohibited, but they may not be needed at all.
The reason that professionally used hypnosis to quit smoking is the most effective method to attain success is that it addresses the three basic issues in smoking. No method can truly work that does not address each issue totally and correct the problems each causes. Most people think that the physical addiction to nicotine is the most important aspect and the most predominant problem, but this is simply not true. If the addiction to the chemical called nicotine were the only reason for failure, most smokers would not fail multiple times in their efforts to end smoking for good.
Yes, nicotine is a terribly addictive substance and for most smokers the physical need is very real and there are withdrawal sensations that are also real. But did you understand these last only a short time? In fact, every bit of nicotine is metabolized out of the system in just three days or less! For many smokers, it is the fear of withdrawal discomforts and not the reality that causes the most distress and which may prevent even trying. Yet quitting without training has an average 5% rate of success! Stop smoking hypnosis reduces fear of withdrawal problems and blunts the effect of any that do occur.
Another component of smoking cigarettes is that it provides relaxation; just as using a pacifier tranquilizes babies. Many people treat anxiety and stress with some form of oral soothing like smoking cigarettes or eating. Hypnotic relaxation can replace the comfort factor received from smoking cigarettes, which reduces the insistent urges and produces the benefits of quitting instead. The mind can be trained to substitute the same perceptions from other activities that are beneficial, not harmful. Neurolinguistic techniques can teach the brain to remove any linkage between smoking cigarettes and comfort.
Lastly, part of the smoking habit is plain old Pavlovian habit formation to stimuli. Smokers learn to link smoking with certain activities, from the movie cliche of smoking immediately after physical relations to automatically lighting a cigarette while consuming alcohol or viewing television or chatting on the phone. Here hypnosis to stop smoking can permanently delete the association, and when the link is no longer there, there will be no stimulus to light up when the coffee is poured or the cocktail is served. The mind is conditioned to associate good things with the former triggers, or to recall the helpful effects of quitting or the created by having the smoke.
A highly qualified hypnotherapist will use both positive and negative associations to replace conditioned associations with smoking, selecting those most compelling for an individual client. Hypnosis to quit smoking cigarettes is the only technique that can custom fit the treatment to each of the three reasons for smoking and eliminate them. Anyone knows quitting requires support, but only smoking cessation programs using hypnotherapy effectively make you equipped to support yourself at any time.

Causes ,effects symptoms and treatments of lung cancer
Nov 25th
What is Lung cancer: Cancer which is found in the lungs is termed as lung cancer. Lungs are the softy organs located in the chest on both either side of the heart. Lungs are the essential organs useful in supplying oxygen in the blood to various parts of the body. Lung cancer is referred as the malignant tumor because it spreads through out the body, lung cancer cells usually travels through blood vessels into tissues and lymph nodes. So, during surgery process the lymph nodes are also removed to check for the cancer cells.
Lung cancer can spread to bone, gynecologic sytem, gastrointestinal system, heart and other organs. This kind of spreading nature is defined as metastatic lung cancer.
Occurrence of Lung cancer:
Lung cancer is a combination of several diseases with different types of causes, symptoms and treatments. It is of many types, in which abnormal growth of cells is common in all of them. Generally normal cells plays major role in defining cancer. All the organs and tissues in the body are made up by tiny body cells. These cells have a constant process of dying and replacing new cells. This is the general process carried by them, if there is any malfunction in their life cycle then there is a chance for the occurrence of lung cancer. Tumor occurs due to the formation of excess cells in the body. There are two types of Tumors one is benign tumor and the other is malignant tumor .Benign tumor is not cancerous but can cause damage to the adjacent organs if it grows continuously at a single site. Malignant tumor is cancerous. It spreads through out the body and damages the entire body organs.
Causes of Lung cancer: Many of the researchers doesn’t know the exact cause for the occurrence of Lung cancer, but the risk factors for the occurrence of Lung cancer is identified. Here is the list of risk factors.
Risk factors of Lung cancer:
Smoking: This activity is the major risk factor in causing Lung cancer. Smoking leads to lung cancer and also causes several side effects like digestion problems, burning sensation, headache and site blindness. So avoid smoking to prevent Lung cancer from occurrence.
Second hand of smoking: This activity is also the major risk factor in causing cancer. Passive smoking also leads to lung cancer but at comparatively slow rate.
Age: Generally aged people will be suffering from lung cancer due to decrease in immune power system and increase in pollution causing factors .if the age is above 50 years, there will be more chances of getting lung cancer due to the increase in risk factors.
Radon gas: Radon gas is a mixture of several chemical agents. it is a decay compound of uranium which increases risk factors for lung cancer. Nearly 12 percent of lung cancer is caused due to radon gas.
Asbestos fiber: Exposure to asbestos fiber for longer duration will increase the risk factors for lung cancer.
Air pollution: Air pollution is one of the leading factors for increasing the causes of lung cancer. Pollution from vehicles, factories and power plants can raise the risk factor for up to 2 percent.
Lung diseases: Due to presence of lung disease like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the risk factor rate is increased by 1 to 2 percent in a year.
Family pedigree: Genetic susceptibility also plays major role in increasing the risk factors for lung cancer.
Symptoms and signs of Lung cancer: Lung cancer is termed as a silent disease because it doesn’t show any symptoms in the early stage of its occurrence.
• Jaundice
• Diarrhea
• Muscle spasms
• Nausea and vomiting
• Headache
• Digestion problem
• Urination infections
• Weight loss
• Tiredness
• Pneumonia
• Hoarseness
• Dysphaqia
• Stroke
• Loss of sensations in the body parts
• Blood in sputum
• Persistent bronchitis
• Breathing difficulties
These are the possible symptoms of Lung cancer. If you find any of these symptoms please go for screening test to prevent this slow cancer disease.
Effects of lung cancer:
Sleep disorder: Severe illness, stress, emotional pain and usage of drugs are the driving factors for causing sleep disorder. People suffering with this cancer disease will generally face this disorder .
Nausea and vomiting: Body hormone changes, pains, body inflammation, poor blood flow and anxiety are the causing factors of nausea and vomiting.
Fatigue: Due to the excess treatment process of cancer ,body faces severe exhaustion or tiredness.
Delirium: This side effect occurs during the last period of life .Delirium is nothing but the malfunction of the brain due to severe attack of cancer cells in the body.
Constipation: Constipation occurs during the early stage of the cancer. Constipation means slow movement of body waste through the body. Due to constipation the body faces illness.
Treatment methods for Lung cancer:
Curing of this lung cancer should be done in the early stages before it spreads through out the body or else it can’t be cured. Lung cancer can be treated with Surgery, Radiotherapy ,Chemotherapy and Biotherapy.
Surgery: Surgery is carried to remove the lung cancer. Surgery can be carried in the early stages of the tumor occurrence. Surgery will be taken place only if the tumor is located in only one part of the body. During the surgery process the damaged lymph nodes are also removed along with the tumor. During surgery the entire lung or part of it will be removed if necessary. During some cases, the major portion of the lung will be removed along with other tissues for avoiding spreading of the disease. About 20 percent of lung cancer cases will be cured by surgeries but removal is not a cure because the tumor cells spreads through out the lungs. So surgery alone can’t cure lung cancer, we require chemotherapy and radiation therapy for complete curingof this lung cancer.
Radiation therapy: This treatment is based on the extent of the disease. Radiotherapy is a useful process in removing lung cancer cells by using high intensity x-rays. These high energy x-rays are aimed at the lung tumor to destroy the cancer cells .This process also causes damage to the normal cells for its side effects. There are two types of radiation therapy.
External Radiation Therapy: External radiation therapy process is carried out from outside the body. The powerful x-ray beams are aimed at the effected area from outside the body and destroys the cancer causing cells permanently without re-occurrence. Internal Radiation Therapy: Internal radiation therapy process is carried out from inside the body. The powerful x-ray beams are aimed at the effected part by making small incisions to destroy the cancer causing cells permanently without re-occurrence. This process gives better results than external radiation.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs are called as anti-cancer drugs used to destroy lung cancer cells .There are many types of chemotherapy drugs available in the market for the treatment of cancer. This treatment process is carried by either pills or through intravascular injections. The anti-cancer drug enters into the bloodstream and travels towards the damaged tissues of lungs and destroys the cancer cells.
Chemotherapeutic drugs attacks the cancer cells by stopping their unusual growth. The nature of the cancer cells were brought to the normal condition by controlling the divisibility of the cells. These drugs are carried in the bloodstream to kill all the cancer cells within short period of time. Chemotherapy is useful in killing cancer cells, avoids spreading of cancer cells to various parts of the body, stops multiple divisions of lung cancer cells and avoids replacing of non-cancerous cell into cancerous cells.
Biotherapy: Body possesses weak immune system due to the effect of lung cancer cells. So, due to weak immune system in the body, there are chances for the development of lung cancer cells in the body. So this Biotherapy treatment process is useful in rebuilding strong immune system in the body. Biotherapy is also called as immunotherapy or biological response modifier therapy. This treatment process is really useful in repairing, enhancing and stimulating the weak immune system of the body. This process can be carried along with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy drugs are very useful in blocking the growth of cancer cells. People facing with chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia can use this targeted therapy drugs for better results.
Treatment of recurrence: Surgery is the treatment method for recurrence of lung cancer. This recurrence treatment is very useful in curing the lung cancer. It stops the re-occurrence of this disease after having treatments.
Photodynamic therapy: This therapy is a new method for treating lung cancer by injecting photosynthesizing agent directly into the bloodstream by using intravascular injection. This agent spreads through the cancer cells and itself deposits with the cancer cells and after that doctor performs some surgery to apply a certain wavelength of light through hand held wand. This instrument targets the light directly on the photosynthesizing agent and burns the cancer causing cells. This method is useful in advanced stage of lung cancer.
Lung cancer is termed as a serious cancer disease. It is mainly caused due to smoking of tobacco. This disease can be cured only in the early stage of its occurrence. Lung cancer causes any other cancer related diseases in the body due to its metastatic characteristics. Lung cancer symptoms cannot be identified in the early stages. Later on its improvement we can find some symptoms which are listed above. Lung cancer is the most leading disease around the world.

Allergy Effects On The Kidneys, Respiratory System And Stomach
Nov 25th
The kidneys:
The two kidneys are responsible for many vital functions. Briefly, they perform the complex task of extracting from the blood, used up proteins, minerals and other elements making up the toxic waste of the metabolic process. This residual material, together with waste water, is then passed in the form of urine, through to the bladder before being finally expelled from the body.
Allergy-caused overloading may cause the liver to deteriorate and lose its capacity to cope fully with its detoxifying duties. As a result, the toxins, left to circulate in the blood, will poison the body and cause damage to the kidneys. Recent studies have shown that kidney failure can be caused by overloading with food toxins. Since undetected food allergies are known to overload the body with toxins, it follows that the kidneys will indeed suffer and may become a ‘target’ organ.
The respiratory system:
The respiratory system comprises the trachea (windpipe), the bronchials and the lungs. Air that we breathe passes through the trachea and bronchials into the lungs where it is used to oxygenate the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide is extracted from the blood and expelled from the lungs into the atmosphere.
Victims of ecological allergies invariably suffer from chemical as well as food intolerances. Some of the more common chemical allergens are the hydrocarbon products, such as petrol and diesel fumes, pressure pack propellants, etc. When these substances are inhaled into the lungs they are absorbed along with oxygen into the bloodstream. To the allergic person, this ingestion through the lungs sets up the same allergic process as an allergy reaction, caused by eating an allergenic food. Consequently, the person becomes ill but often does not realize the cause, since chemical allergies, like food allergies, can be masked, with resultant symptoms that are seemingly unrelated to the chemicals concerned.
An example of food allergies causing respiratory symptoms is found ‘in a report from Dr Elmer Cranton, of Virginia, who says that recurrent coughs are due to food allergies, not colds. This view was also recently supported by the British Medical Journal. Dr Cranton said that the most likely causes were dairy products, yeast, wheat products, eggs and citrus fruit. He has found with people allergic to these foods, that once they have been removed from the diet, the coughing stops.
Milk and milk products are one of the commonest causes of food allergies. Often, the reaction is a general tendency for excessive mucus to form in the nasal and other respiratory passages. This, in turn, can lead to constant colds, sore throats, nasal catarrh and asthma – all by-products of an ongoing and debilitating food allergy.
The stomach:
The stomach is a simple, bag-like organ and is part of the alimentary canal. It lies between the esophagus and the small intestine. The upper end of the stomach connects with the esophagus, whilst the lower end opens into the doudenum, which is the upper part of the small intestine. The stomach serves as a storage place for food, enabling a large meal to be eaten at one time. It also produces hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin, to digest the food partially.
There are a number of different foods that will irritate the mucous membrane lining the stomach. Highly spiced foods, extremely hot foods and alcoholic drinks can cause ulcers to develop in the stomach or duodenum. Another cause of stomach ulcers can be the regular ingestion of foods to which the person is allergic. It is interesting to note, that the Japanese have the highest rate of stomach cancer in the world, due to the high salt content in their diet.
Dr James Brennan, in his book, Basics of Food Allergy, says that some ulcers are actually a symptom of milk allergy. He discovered this after treating a patient of his who had a duodenal ulcer for over ten years. He found that, by putting his patient on a diet which excluded many of the allergenic foods, the ulcer symptoms disappeared within three days. One by one, various foods were then added back into the diet to see which food caused the allergy. When milk was added to the diet the patient suffered abdominal pain, vomiting and weakness. Once it was again removed from the diet the symptoms disappeared.
Dr Brennan went on to discover, by the same process, that his patient’s ulcer was also inflamed by wheat and pork. Once these foods were permanently removed, the patient remained symptom free for sixteen years.
Other doctors have found that, after removing chocolate, coffee and other known allergenic foods from their patients diets, stomach ulcers have disappeared. Dr Albert Rowe, co-author of Food Allergy, has found that eliminating eggs from a person’s diet can greatly assist ulcer conditions.
There seems no doubt that stomach and duodenal ulcers are yet another symptom of the chronic masked food allergy.
