How Lung Detox Removed The Tar And Toxins From My Lungs


Removing tar and toxins from the lungs is a critical part of any smoker finally quitting smoking. In a sense it ends the relationship between the smoker and the cigarette and I suppose like any strong relationship smoking needs closure.

I found that until I had detoxed my lungs I was constantly battling with cravings and I just couldn’t seem to put an end to the lure of lighting up again. It went on for months and for me nothing would substitute it. I tried all the usual off the shelf products such as gum, patches even those crazy electronic cigarettes but nothing came even close.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure some people find those techniques perfectly adequate but maybe I’m just harder to convince. I’ve always been an awkward so and so:)

I was so desperate to quit for my families sake. My wife had managed to quit when she was pregnant with my young daughter and had never started again. She didn’t exactly nag me but I could tell that she hoped I would quit. Then of course there was my beautiful young daughter who I looked at and I just knew that it was the right thing to do.

40 cigarettes a day is going to take it’s toll at some point and I needed to do quit not just for my wife but for my daughter and hopefully my future grandchildren.

If you’re curious as to why a lung detox works then I think I know why. I believe that by removing the toxins which actually fuel the smoking habit then it makes sense to me that my body is going to feel the benefits quite quickly and so promote quitting smoking more quickly.

I was totally taken aback however at my reaction to the detox. I honestly had a feeling of what can only be described as elation! The tightness in my chest quickly went along with a terrible cough that I had developed. My sore throat lasted less than a couple of weeks. I was thrilled with the results.

There are some minor side effects that I was aware of and ready for but it was really only a mild feeling of sickness and a headache but I was so excited by the thought of cleaning out my lungs I just put up with it and would go through it again…not that I ever intend to start smoking again.

Would I recommend a lung detox. Without question I think I’d still be a smoker now without it.

Quit Smoking for Your Teeth


Tobacco secession is a challenge facing many people today. Often people try to quit many times and for many different reasons. Some are quitting because they have been recently diagnosed with a health condition such as diabetes or heart problems. Others simply want to be healthier and avoid potential health problems such as Lung Caner and COPD. There is always a reason to quit, and BBC News just added one more, dental problems.

BBC News reports, dentists across Europe conducted a research study showing smoking as the culprit for many dental problems such as oral cancer, receding gums which leave the roots exposed, the diminished ability of taste buds and finally the rejection of dental devices and procedures.

Dental devices such as dentures and implants can be a huge benefit to those in desperate need of teeth. For example, implants which work similar to dentures, provide a false tooth to replace a missing one. They are used in people who have lost individual teeth, to create a bridge and for better support to older dentures. Implants work by functioning as the “root” of the tooth because they are made from titanium and are implanted in the jaw. They are coated with a substance called hydroxyapatite which acts as the same chemical makeup of our own bones making the implants more effective than dentures.

A prime candidate for an implant requires good healing and blood flow to insure the gum tissue heals properly. Occasionally, implants reject, but this happens more commonly in smokers. Smoking as well as other diseases such as diabetes, effect how the body heals and how the blood flow, thus resulting in a likely rejection. The BBC News also reported that if a patient stopped smoking before the procedure and for at least eight weeks after, allowing the tissue to heal properly, it would greatly improve their odds for an effective implant.

Implant rejection is not the only problem tobacco users face when it comes to dental care. Other procedures which are effected by smoking can be something as simple as a filling, teeth removals, and gum disease. Antibiotics and topical treatments can also become useless because of smoking which can lead to more serious problems before, during and after dental procedures.

The most common dental problem facing tobacco users in the beginning are minor things such as bad breath and teeth discoloration. However these mild problems can turn into more serious problems quickly. According to a study done by the American Dental Association, 32% of smokers needed to have a filling replaced, 10.1% needed a tooth extraction and 22.5% needed a major dental cleaning because of periodontal disease (impaired blood flow). Smoking can also be a factor in the loss of jaw bone, gum disease leading to tooth loss, and increased plaque and tartar build up. According to WebMD, 90% of patients with oral cancer use tobacco products and of those 90%, 37% who keep using tobacco products after having one cancerous lesion removed will develop another compared to 6% of those who quit smoking.

Quitting is the ideal way to combat these conditions. Another study done by the American Dental Association, 97.5% of patients who quite using tobacco, showed an almost complete reduction of mouth lesions (leukoplakia potentially cancerous mouth lesions) in just six weeks of quitting.

There are many ways available to quit smoking. Some patients choose to try prescription treatments such as Zyban or Wellbutrin which can help curb cravings. Others try over the counter treatments such as the nicotine patch or gum. Other nontraditional treatments include hypnosis, acupuncture and herbal remedies. Those who are interesting in quitting should speak with their dentist of physician to develop a plan and find out what works best for the patient. Since each person is different, each individual plan will be different. Some people use a combination of treatments to quit. It is important to remember quitting is never easy but the health risks are just too high to not quit now.

“Now A Painless Way To Quit Smoking Has Been Designed For Stubborn Smokers By Psychotherapist Stephen Richards”


Giving up nicotine addiction can lead to the bodily functions running out of control! Associated health risks of quitting smoking include an increase in weight, bad temper, misery and sadness. The medical fraternity prefer to ignore these additional health risks as they are not considered as life threatening as smoking is.

The countries in the Third World with the lowest tobacco consumption have some of the shortest life expectancies of its inhabitants! Throughout the’th and 20th centuries there is a reliable, worldwide relationship between rising tobacco consumption and rising life expectancy, nation by nation. Either you are a smoker or a non-smoker. There’s no in-between. Some can quit smoking with ease, whereas in other cases it can be a drawn out love/hate relationship.

The correlation between smokers who quit rapidly and the increased incidence of cancer amongst those quitters was discovered by doctors at the K.S. Hegde Medical Academy in Mangalore, India. Perhaps looking at how the now deceased stop smoking guru Allen Carr died may also offer up some support to these findings. After years of smoking and giving up rapidly Allen Carr died of cancer of the lungs! So do be warned, giving up instantly without the proper embedded commands being instilled into the mind can be hazardous.

Self-help therapist Stephen Richards clarifies why giving up smoking without first taking some precautionary steps can be chancy, “Tolerance levels to high dosages of nicotine and the related unhealthy by-products from smoking can build up a high degree of immunity within a smoker. Of course this comes about over a long period of time, so it makes sense that to stop suddenly can bring about certain physiological reactions that want to heal the body from what clogged its respiratory system up. This is when problems can occur. Stopping smoking in an uncontrolled manner can bring about certain reactions within the body, activating an uncontrolled cell division and tumour genesis. This is why it is wise to lock out the potential of such an incidence from happening.”

Some smokers fail to take into account a protected and natural way to give up smoking, as this can have a bearing on health issues later on in life. There are numerous time saving routes when it comes to giving up smoking, but do be aware that not all are beneficial in the long-term.

Hypnosis can help smokers to quit, but for it to work properly you need multiple sessions with a therapist … and it is costly. The traditional smoking cessation self-hypnosis route only works if you have cast iron willpower. This is why so many who have tried hypnosis have had a relapse or two.

Dependency on nicotine is a psychological thing, 90 percent to be exact. However, the physiological dependency on this addiction accounts for only 10 percent! Because it is all going on in the mind then this is the area that needs to be tackled before you consider using products that change your physiological balance. Research showed that downgrading to a lower tar brand of cigarette worked nowhere as near to helping the subject give up smoking compared to other smokers not using this method. All what happened to the test group was it took longer for them to quit smoking, as the belief they had was that smoking was now safer. In reality what had happened was that it had weakened their resolve to quit smoking.

Subliminal audios that target the subconscious mind can be quite potent, but they have a drawback! The actual subliminal message is self-defeating because in order for it to work you have to hear all what is being spoken, and invariably some of what you are supposed to hear is lost in the background music or sounds on the audio you are listening to. This really defeats the purpose of subliminal messaging. Where subliminals really work is in imagery, but that is no use for smoking cessation therapy.

Take a look at how many anti-smoking products are available and you start to become mesmerised by the array of products on offer. There are stick on patches that overload you with nicotine, then there’s nicotine gum that tastes like a camel’s … well you get the idea. There’s even what is called an ‘electronic cigarette’ that mimics the actions of a real cigarette but without the smoke, and still filling you up with nicotine. Why load up with nicotine when the very thing you want to break free from is still in your system.

When you want to break the vice-like grip nicotine has over you then the very last thing you need to be doing is keeping the hand to mouth action going, as that is part of the addiction. These electronic cigarettes do not help you break the cycle of smoking; in fact they could reinforce it!

Alternatives to the cigarette are becoming big business, especially in the guise of nicotine patches, gum, lozenges and so on. These products can seem to be a real substitute for nicotine intake until you examine the costs involved in continuously replacing these consumables … they are not cheap. The disadvantage to these products is that a modicum of willpower is required to assist them in working. What if there was another way to quit smoking, a way that did not require you to stick on patches and chew gum all day long? Well now there is something that is well ahead of all other smoking cessation products! Previously a clinical hypnotherapist, Stephen Richards does not advocate the use of hypnosis for smoking cessation treatment unless it is over a prolonged period and over a number of sessions carried out by a qualified therapist. This is why he guarantees there is no hypnosis or subliminal messaging or patches to stick on your arm in the product he has designed.

Targeting the exact areas of the brain with this pioneering technology takes no more than 30 minutes, hitting the very seat of the problem. The elated feeling of being freed from the vice of nicotine addiction can be experienced for the first time, in some cases, for many years. No longer are you a slave to nicotine, think of all the money you will save too.

Innovative self-help therapist and bestselling author Stephen Richards says, “I am extremely pleased with this product, it is well ahead of anything else out there that tackles smoking addiction. The old therapy disciplines that once tackled this are outdated; they have become jaded with the passage of time. I have developed a product that is exciting and genuine in what it does. This gives smokers a real chance to become and remain ex-smokers.”

This method designed by top self-help therapist Stephen Richards will help the smoker unleash the power of the unconscious mind within them which in turn will help eliminate their cravings for cigarettes and the urge to smoke. Now with this technology you can curb the cravings for nicotine as they come, one by one. Everything you need to quit smoking once and for all is within you right now.

The purpose of the technology is not so much about ‘reprogramming’ yourself, but it’s about teaching your mind how to do things differently. The audio on the “The Ultimate Stop Smoking CD” uses techniques that get right to the core of the problem in rapid time and also in programming the mind to release its repairing apparatus in a safe and natural way – thus preventing uncontrolled cell division and tumour genesis. Using up to date methods the technology inbuilt into this audio overcomes the need to use self-hypnosis and you can clearly hear every word being spoken.

Within this “The Ultimate Stop Smoking CD”, worldwide best-selling mind power author Stephen Richards has designed a very potent method to help you quit smoking.

A Habit to Call my Own


We all have our favorite comfort food. For me it’s Jack in the Box tacos and Wheat Thins. I am guessing you crave your comfort food or snack when you are tired, lonely sad or even happy. I know I do! If you had tasted this food as an adult, you most likely would never eat it again, but still you find yourself drawn to it. I know, it’s just not logical.

The logic is simple, you have an emotional attachment to the food you are craving. I can justify eating it because I think it will make me feel happy, content or calm, I am guessing you feel the same way. You may know it is not good for you, but subconsciously you think it will. After a while you start to believe the food will make you feel better and because our mind believes this, you do feel better, but the effect is not long lasting.

After a few bites, guilt kicks in. However this doesn’t stop me from finishing my first taco, or even my second. I know you know this feeling and it can be frustrating. I know I should not be eating this greasy, oddly textures taco but at the same time I really feel like eating it! I like you have the craving, desire, longing, and urge to devour that taco!

Annihilating the taco, is a habit and this habit was learned through different ways. For me, I remember being very young, seven or eight years old maybe. I was on the way to the beach in Southern California with my family. I remember my mom and aunt, talking about Jack in the Box tacos. They talked about how good and greasy they are. They would especially be perfect to buy and take to the beach to eat. We were all happy and having a good time. It was a warm, sunny day at the beach, and we were going to play and enjoy ourselves. We got the tacos and they were the most delicious tacos in the world. I remember some gritty sand getting onto some of my taco but it didn’t matter, we were having a fantastic day. Important memories which are vivid typically are more influential than the everyday mundane memories.

Even today, just the thought of getting a taco from Jack in the Box triggers good feelings which are associated with the memory. Sometimes the actual memory comes with it and sometimes it does not. It is important to understand how we relate feelings to different things in our lives, things like food, music or a voice.

For example, I used to love Aerosmith. I would listen to their songs over and over again, but never get sick of them. All this changed in the early 90’s when I took my then girlfriend to an Aerosmith concert. Things did not get well and since then I don’t care for Aerosmith much, each song reminds me of her.

It’s SoCal, the 70’s, my family has a van with pin stripes, and the interior was tangerine orange with matching carpet. Yes it makes me laugh too! I was about six years old and encountered a large black widow spider in this van. My parents made me and my brothers’ get out of the van quickly. For years I had an embarrassing fear of spiders. I was able to link it to this memory. I am now able to kill spiders, but if I see a big one I still get nervous, but nothing like it use to be.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear a stern voice, like my wife saying, Patrick Michael Glancy, I know I have either done something wrong or need to find something to do like hide in the garage. Most people feel like a child when they hear this tone of voice. Especially when someone uses your first, middle and last name!

The point of all this is to show you common sense examples of learned behaviors. Emotions associated with memories trigger very powerful, behind the scenes reactions and decisions in our minds. Take a moment and think about some powerful memories you have had and think about how they might relate to other things in your life.

Conversational Hypnosis-Hypnotist Tips Revealed Here


Conversational Hypnosis is to have the ability to induce trance in another person. Without this skill in sharp condition you will have a very difficult time improving the lives of those around you. The ability to alter the state of mind has been something you probably have been reading about and possibly practicing for some time now.

If this is true then the next logical step in your education will be to refine and sharpen the trance induction skills you have been learning. To do this you must take all the skills you have been learning and keep them as fresh in your mind as possible. Many of these skills you will be able to use in trance induction as you learn to broaden your knowledge in this area of hypnosis.

For now you let’s just focus on the basics of becoming an expert at Conversational Hypnosis. The 4 Stage Protocol along with a couple of secret tips will give you some important and basic specifics for inducing a hypnotic trance. The skills and tips in this article will nearly guarantee you the ability to send your subject and those around you into hypnotic trances. These are all skills you should already be familiar with and if you are not then a brief refresher may help before you carry on. On another note, remember that these are the basics and you will be learning many more layers of skills to add to these as your conversational hypnosis education continues.

The 4 Stage Protocol is really the meat and potatoes of getting someone into a hypnotic trance. This set of rules or concepts contain all you need in order to create hypnotic trance in another person. The first step is to Absorb Attention. No matter what hypnotic effect or process you want to do with your subject you must always first absorb their attention. Without the attention of your subject you will not be able to continue in the area of inducing a hypnosis trance. Now is the time to practice getting peoples attention.

You will learn more ways to do this as you go on to other conversational hypnosis articles, all you need to know now is you simply must be able to get a persons attention totally focused on you to bring them into an altered state of mind or hypnotic trance. The second stage in the 4 Stage Protocol is a very important one, Bypass the Critical Factor. As you have read before the critical factor is the filter of the conscious mind that criticizes and analyzes all the information being sent in from outside sources.

It is very imperative to make any type of progress with the betterment of life that you bypass the critical factor. Your listener must be able to agree and accept your suggestions on some level so you can not only seed them in but get a response from those suggestions. That brings us to the third stage, which is to Activate an Unconscious Response. This is simply getting any type of unconscious response from the person you are inducing. It can be any of the signals found in the signal recognitions system, an emotion or reaction to your suggestion that is communicated from an unconscious mind level.

A change in breathing, blinking and so on, as long as it is unconscious. This is important because without attaining the unconscious response you will have a difficult time leading it to a desired outcome. This brings you to the fourth and final stage in the 4 Stage Protocol, being to Lead the Unconscious Response to a Desired Result. When you recognize the different signals or unconscious responses you must take them and lead them to your desired end result.

That result can be a thought process, action, idea or anything you want that will help in the persons goals of life change. Now that you have been reminded of the four stages you can set those stages in the back of your mind and concentrate on how to get someones attention. The fixation of attention can be done in many different ways. The method you use largely depends on the person and circumstance you are currently in.

You can attract their attention by telling them something that will interest them. You can attract their attention by asking questions that instill some curiosity. You can attract them down the rabbit hole by showing them something they want so they in turn want to follow you. All these are ways of attracting attention. The above list of ways to attract attention is great but sometimes it is just good to be direct. Simply ask them to direct their attention to what it is you are saying, doing or asking them to do. Humans generally like to comply, most like to please others and in asking a very direct and easy thing will certainly get your listeners eager attention.

Being simple and direct in asking for attention may seem like a contradiction since in Conversational Hypnosis you are usually trying to learn how to be indirect. But if you take a step back and think about the greatest hypnotists like Milton Erickson and others even they knew when to be direct. They knew when to just simply make a direct request of a subject.

Being very direct is one of the best secrets in hypnosis. You should have no reason not to be direct, and often it can give you the best results. Making a clear concise request without embarrassment or hesitation is an important way to start in getting peoples attention. The second secret in hypnosis that relates to this is to learn how to move from being very direct to indirect as you improve your skill. After you have refined your ability to get attention with directness you will learn to move to more indirect ways of still getting the desired attention you need.

This is a way to make things less blatant and more smooth, more like they are taking place in the background of what you are really doing. You will learn how to accomplish the art of absorbing attention with more subtle communications. These things will happen in the background of conversation and be harder to spot by your listener. This is something that you will want to move on to after you have mastered the direct routes of absorbing attention. Do you want to learn more about hypnosis? If you can handle having real power over others conversational hypnosis training might just be for you.
