Will I be smoke free after the first treatment ?
Yes. You will be a non-smoker after the first treatment . We like to bring you back in 3 or 4 days later for a reinforcement treatment to make sure that you are successful . The first treatment makes you feel 10 days into the future; the second, makes you feel 20 days into the future ... bypassing the worst part of any addiction ... the first 21 days.
Does the Treatment Hurt ?
No. During the treatment, you will feel a mild warming feeling, sometimes all over the body. If you are stressed, you may feel your tight muscles relaxing. People with emphysema often feel like they carry a weight on their chest. During the treatment, people often report, " I feel like a weight is lifting off my chest!"

Treating a drug with a drug is not usually a good idea. Our program is drug- free.
Many of our competitors' programs are new and are claiming a success rate other than their own. We have observed this phenomenon take place many times over the past 15 years. We have also seen many of these programs disappear after a few years and sometimes months. We will be here for you if you need our support.
In our opinion, the beauty of our program is the fact that we offer a "rapid detoxification" treatment and program so you can rid yourself of the drug in one day, compared with other programs of drugs that last for weeks or months. The second beauty is that we offer on-going support and education. Our "track record" supports our program.
Most of our referrals are from doctors, dentists, specialists, friends and families.

After our counseling session, we give you the ear stimulation treatment which makes your body feel as though you are 10 days into the future ... by-passing the worst part of any addiction or withdrawal period!
Next we schedule your follow-up visit for a reinforcement treatment just to make sure you are past the addiction. (This second visit helps you to feel 10 more days into the future ... bypassing the 21 days of making and breaking old habits. )
Does this treatment help with depression ?
Yes, The treatment gives you energy and passively releases endorphins ... the body's naturally producing "feel good" drugs. For thousands of years, the Oriental Natives have used this treatment for "fine-tuning" the body. They call it"releasing the chi" ! Can you treat alcoholism with this treatment ?
Yes, Many people have used our program for their addiction to alcohol. Some have even used our treatments secretly (without our knowing) to stop drinking ! Due to patient confidentiality, we can not list any of these case studies in our testimonies. But, if you need help, we can make your transition much easier. During the treatment for alcohol addiction, we combine food counseling.
I am already 20 pounds overweight. If I gain weight, I will just die! Does this treatment help prevent weight gain ?
Yes, Thousands of people have used this treatment to lose weight. We offer a weight-loss program to non-smokers, as well. Many people like to combine the two programs ... but for those who are not overweight, and simply fear weight gain, we include tools and offer suggestions for preventing weight gain during the program for smoking cessation. People have followed these simple suggestions and have lost as much as 6 pounds in one week ! We offer a discount for those who want to combine the 2 programs. I do not smoke, but I want to lose weight.
How much can I expect to lose with your program ? AS much as 28 pounds in one month and 42 pounds in 2 months. We can go on an aggressive plan or we can go on a slow plan. The beauty of our program is, you can lose at your own pace. It is YOUR program, customized for YOUR lifestyle. Will this treatment help with Hot Flashes
or Cellulite ? Yes ! We have seen good results with both hot flashes and cellulite with our food program. The food program teaches you the importance of limiting the saturated fats in the foods you choose. The treatments block the cravings for the undesired foods. We will teach you to look at food as a fuel instead of entertainment or merely suppressing the appetite!
Does Insurance cover the program ?
Sometimes, but not usually. United Health Care and Blue Cross Blue Shield have given reimbursement for some people in the past. Those "lucky" or "persistent" people reported that they submitted their receipts along with a detailed letter requesting reimbursement. Insurance does not usually cover our program because this is considered to be an "alternative treatment program", i.e., treatment without the use of drugs and surgery. Our treatment protocol is a very ancient technique, used by the Orient for thousands of years !
We have many different programs and offer discounts when combining the programs.
Comparing Our Program To Others
Since 1990, we have helped Thousands of people STOP smoking and lose weight at the same time. When we first started our program, our only competitor was the nicotine patch. The patch was sponsored by Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, a famous and prestigious University built and operated with tobacco money.
In 1995, Duke researchers approached our clinic, and asked us to enter into a research study comparing our auricular therapy program to the nicotine patch. After the research study and following our participants for three months, our program proved to have a success rate of 80 percent, the patch, less than 20 percent. The study was completed, but never published. Since 1995, several smoking cessation programs have "sprung up." Below, we will attempt to introduce you to other available methods, giving the pros and cons and compare them to our program. Keep in mind that many of the methods are new and the success they are claiming are based on programs other than their own. The STOP Clinic: ear stimulation treatments (auricular therapy)* combined with counseling and follow-up support. Counseling sessions offer behavior modification techniques and tools used to address the mental part of the addiction; treatment, using mild electrical stimulation, blocks cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Treatment and behavior modification prevents weight gain, usually associated with smoking cessation, and is often used for weight loss. We have a 95 Percent Success Rate. Follow-up visits for on-going support, if needed. The STOP Clinic's program was first introduced to the public in 1990, a time when smoking was still popular. The nicotine patch was introduced in 1992 at by Dr. Rhodes with Duke University, with a success rate of only about 20 percent; ours proved an 80% success rate at that time. (See the 1995 Study comparing the two Programs by searching on Google.) These 2 program were “Pioneers” of their times. One provided a product only and the other provided counseling, ear stimulation treatments and on-going support.
Ear Acupuncture: This treatment is most similar to auricular therapy* (see above) , using needles instead of electrical stimulation. Treatment is invasive, due to needles breaking the skin. Due to mild bleeding, care needs to be taken to prevent transference of blood; i.e., concerns with hepatitis, HIV, etc. Effectiveness of this treatment increases when counseling is included. Ear Laser Treatment: This treatment is also similar to Ear Acupuncture (without the use of needles). Treatment is non-invasive. Effectiveness of this treatment increases when counseling is included. ( At The STOP Clinic, we have used the Laser in the past for treatment, but have better results with the electrical stimulation method.)
The "SHOT": Invasive treatment of (3) injections of "powerful drugs", administered behind both ears and sometimes in the buttocks or arm. This strong medication causes extreme drowsiness and often vomiting for up to 3 days. Some have experienced allergic reactions to "the shot" and were hospitalized for up to 8 weeks. Most providers require another 2 weeks of medications after the initial "shot". Because of the danger associated with this treatment, it is usually administered in a hospital setting, near an emergency room. Those with heart related problems, pregnant, or on medications are usually denied this treatment. The "Staple": Invasive treatment of placing a staple in the ear, offering a placebo affect. Painful, scarring and prone to infection. This is not a new procedure and has been around as long as acpuncture itself, a.k.a. "pierced ears".
Nicotine Patch: Nicotine replacement therapy often delivers more nicotine into the bloodstream than you would receive if you were smoking. If you smoke less than a pack a day, the patch may deliver too much nicotine into the bloodstream and cause an allergic reaction and sickness. The patch can help eliminate the habit of the hand to mouth motion for the more habitual smokers. Use of the patch can cause severe night sweats and nightmares. Success rate is less than 20 percent (Based on results of Duke University's study comparing The STOP Clinic's program to the nicotine patch, 1995.) Nicorette Gum: Nicotine replacement therapy sometimes causes a person to trade one addiction for another. This gum is highly addictive. (We have given treatments to people who have been addicted to the gum for more than 12 years !) Nicotine Lozenges: This nicotine replacement therapy is not as addictive as the nicorette gum. Using this just provides another form of nicotine delivery. Zyban (aka Welbutrin): If you are not used to taking an antidepressant, this prescribed medication may cause headaches, dizziness, a feeling of out of sorts and drugged. For some, side affects have been depression and suicidal tendencies. Chantix, NicVax, etc.: Some of the newest drugs for stopping smoking and are not recommended for children under the age of 18, or if you are "alergic to anything in it", according to the information phamphlets enclosed in the prescription package. You should also avoid Chantix if you are on insulin, ashtma medications, blood thinners, have kidney problems, are pregnant, or hope to be pregnant, or are breast feeding. Possible side effects are nausea, constipation, gas and vomiting. "Cold Turkey": Admirable approach to stop smoking, but not necessary. Some people are more addicted to nicotine than others. Some people, simply, have a long term habit and are not necessarily addicted to the nicotine. (Just like alcohol; not everyone who drinks is addicted to alcohol.) These people wake up one day and declare to never smoke again! This, however, is not the normal reaction to nicotine addiction. Most people seek help to deal with the nicotine cravings and withdrawals.
