Every year, millions of people try to quit smoking. Every year, millions fail. In order to quit, smokers try nicotine patches, nicotine gum, sprays, potions and lotions. Some try hypnosis or go it alone...cold turkey.

Medical authorities contend that cigarette smoking is the single most important source of preventable death. The annual death toll from diseases attributed to smoking is over 350,000. It is estimated that about 25 percent of adults are smokers.

Although more than four in five smokers say they want to quit, less than 3 percent are successful each year.

Drs. Robert and Serena Wallace of Huntington have a program that can help people kick the habit…for good.

The cornerstone of the program is called Auriculotherapy. Auricluotherapy uses stimulation of points in the ear through electrical impulses. This type of stimulation helps alleviate the imbalances that lead to addictive behavior. Auriculotherapy serves two purposes for helping people overcome addictions. First, it can reduce some of the symptoms of withdrawal, taking the edge off and, second, it helps return the body to a state of balance by stimulating different body systems.

Scientific research is now grouping all the many addictions under the single heading, “Reward Deficiency Syndrome”. The most recent research indicates that all addictions are associated with the breakdown of the same brain pathways. Food, drug, alcohol, sex, work, codependency, gambling and other addictions all show a breakdown in what is called the Brain Reward Cascade. This is the name given to a complex sequence of neuro-chemical events that produce a feeling of being peaceful and satisfied.

Dr. Wallace stated, “Cravings disappear immediately,” and went further saying, “We can rebuild the normal pathways that lead to feelings of well-being. It is possible to release the chronic tension of the nervous system through specific neurological techniques and nutritional protocols which can break the addiction cycles for the person who is ready and willing to make a change.”

This painless treatment is safe, effective, medically accepted and FDA approved. The program also includes nutritional supplementation and Torque Release Technique, a chiropractic method which has been found to have unparalleled success working with addictions and correcting spinal subluxations which cause nerve system irritation.

The doctors hold information sessions where people can learn more about the technique and find out if they are eligible candidates for the program. Many insurance companies cover Auriculotherapy and Torque Release Technique and may reimburse participants for portions of the treatment.

Once you have the motivation, the Auriculotherapy and Torque Release Technique can offer what willpower cannot - permanent success.
