Quit Smoking

True Addiction Relief allowed me to quit tobacco with very little discomfort.

True Addiction Relief is the plant medicine I created to take away the hurt of withdrawal symptoms. Also the crazy craving of addiction to make it easy to quit smoking or chewing tobacco.  I’ve tried quitting over 100 times. However, by using this product, this time was a breeze.

Check out the plants I put together to end addiction!  (When you are ready, of course!)

Horsetail:  This plant contains a very low dose of nicotine. This makes our medicine equally as effective as nicotine gum or patches.  Science proves Horsetail helps the kidneys filter water better than a prescription diuretic. This is in case you have trouble with swollen ankles.

Used topically (just mix a bit in coconut oil), it has proven to decrease pain and inflammation in the 10 days after an episiotomy. This is while cutting the need for Tylenol in half!  You’ll have to look up episiotomy if you don’t know what it is. I couldn’t bear to describe that horrifying medical procedure.

Read the studies Here!

Wild Oat Seed:  Doctors in Europe are convinced this medicine is effective for improving cognitive function, and are now studying which dosing works the best.  Read Here.

Wild Oats and St. Johns Wort were tested to see if they would help opioid drug addiction.  Results of this study showed that “these medicinal plants can be effective in controlling deprivation, decreasing dependency creation, and possibly detoxification of opioid addicts.

St. John’s Wort and Wild Oat Seed

In my Top 10 Plant Meds for Depression Blog, I share a study that proved St. John’s Wort to be 70% better than Paxil for the treatment of Major Depression!

“In the past there was  Lobelia  in anti-smoking products as a deterrent for those with a smoking addiction. However the sale of smoking products that contained lobelia was prohibited by the Food and Drug Administration in 1993 because it was not helpful to those who were addicted to smoking.”  HerbWisdom.com

However, there are no studies that validate their conclusion, nor are there any studies proving it’s benefit to help quit smoking.  But 2000 years of written history says give Lobelia a try to quit smoking. 

Smoking tobacco dates back to 3000 BC. And apparently if you smoke too much, the nicotine can be addictive.  Back then, if you found yourself craving tobacco, you’d take Lobelia to ease the addiction.  So,  Big Tobacco added some chemicals to “hook the brain” on nicotine, leaving us nearly helpless to quit smoking.  quit smoking

If you click through to the studies, you will see that the 4th study concludes that Lobelia has good potential as efficacious treatments for methamphetamine abuse.

The strength to endure the fight comes from three powerful adaptogenic plants.  They help adapt to stress, strain, and the pain of withdrawal.

Fo-Ti is proven to protect the brain from toxic chemical know to destroy brain cells.  Read it yourself, dude!  Harvard Medical School researchers concluded that Ginseng shows promise for cocaine addictionRead it yourself.

This study says that Rhodiola prevents relapse to nicotine addiction, in animal models.

Catnip’s use in European folk medicine for generations is as a calming agent for body and mind. It is gentle and is very useful for children and infants.

Because of this,  I use Catnip in “True Sleep” as well.

If you’d like to try the medicine, and/or the acupressure I used to ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms, I described my entire protocol on my Nicotine Addiction BlogGet True Addiction Relief in our Online Store!

Nicotine Addiction: How to Quit Smoking or Dipping

Big Tobacco doesn’t play fair with Nicotine and additives!

The movie, “The Insider” revealed that big tobacco uses substances derived in their labs that hook our brain to smoking and nicotine.  When you attempt to stop delivering their for profit drug to your brain, the consequences are severe.  I’ve created this healing protocol teaching you how to quit smoking or dipping, and it works far better than the nicotine patch!

Join me as I document my Nicotine withdrawal symptoms and how I take away the pain, using acupressure and plant medicines.

I have been addicted to chewing tobacco for over 30 years.  I’ve quit over 100 times.  This time I have a plan.

Step one was to start on Sunday.  lol.  All 100+ fails started on Monday.

Step two: I’m treating addiction like I treat other conditions.  I’m healing addiction instead of quitting.  I don’t know why I didn’t see that sooner!!  Try to quit a thyroid problem or fibromyalgia!!  Lol.

I heal patients with those conditions with plant medicines and acupressure, so I created an Addiction Relief plant medicine, and the following acupressure protocols.

I share every step of the protocol right here.  How to quit smoking or chewing tobacco.  I wrote my daily log May 2018 and have been tobacco free since with no cravings or desire to return!!

Day 1

The first reminder of the hook of tobacco was a slight afternoon craving.  That bizarre pull towards no value.  I took my plant medicine and tapped KI27, CV24, GV 26 and GV20, and I was able to refocus on what I had been doing pretty easily.

After dinner, I felt the first real pain as sudden nausea.  My plan was to feel the pain of nicotine withdrawal, the hurt you feel when you quit bathing your brain in their profit, and find a way to take it away I had my next best step ready, and started placing acu-beads in my ears.

I got two of the six points covered that I had planned, Point Zero which helps provide a general balance of the body and mind and Shen Men, which is the point for stress, anxiety, and excessive nicotine patchsensitivity.   Then, the awkwardness of applying the beads pulled me back to body points

I searched “best acupuncture points for nicotine addiction” and Google gave me two acupuncture points located on the wrist.  The first one I already knew about, the “letting go point.”  The next point I had never heard of.  It was called Tim-Mee and considered an extra meridian, and was located “between the lines.”

how to quit smokingI live between the lines, lol, so that felt right.  I placed acu-beads on LI 4 and the extra point, between LU7 and LI5,  which has been used for thousands of years for addiction.  Then I 1. took my medicine, 2. tapped KI27 and  CV/GV, 3. Squeezed the two ear points I had finished, and 4. Pressed on the two wrist points that came up from googling.

I can feel pretty easily from websites if they are takers or leavers.  When you only read the ones that are giving, google brings great wisdom.

Just as my Nausea began to transform into deep dark depression, everything started to turn around.  I was pretty glad the depression lifted almost as quickly as it had dropped in.

Day 2

Staying busy is a desperate and futile attempt to make nicotine withdrawal easier.  I knew from experience that my busy day would only delay the struggle, but it was my day, so I enjoyed it.

I saw several wellness patients and then off to watch Sacred Stone rock varsity soccer, as a 7th grader.  Watching her perfection leaves me high for hours.express your champion

The day was so easy, that I shared an email to my subscribers that “this is going to be easy if I can hold off the bizarre pull and withdrawal symptoms this well.”

Around midnight, I felt tired and fell asleep quickly.  Just over an hour later, I woke in the throes.  Restless-thrashing-hot flashes.  I was burning up, but not like a fever, more like I imagine severe menopausal hot flashes to feel like.  I tried to handle the first wave with acupressure, and added True Sleep, and more of the Addiction Medicine for the second wave.  The third wave I explored other acupressure points.

This sequence of points…LI4, KI17, LV8, HT7, and ST41 increased my relaxation.

But I didn’t quite feel comfortable enough to sleep until I added CV1 and ST25.

CV1 is located between the genitalia and the anus.  Western medicine calls it the perineum. Eastern medicine calls it the Meeting of the Yin.  You apply pressure to this soft, vulnerable area, only in extreme circumstances. Such as drowning, coma, and for when you can’t tell if this is the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to you.  Western medicine calls that bipolar disorder.

ST 25 is two finger widths on either side of the belly button, which Five Elements calls Spirit Gate.  Lol.  We have a clear winner in naming body locations.  Two inches lateral to the belly button, is the Celestial Pivot.  It connects upper and lower “Warmers,” so if heat is trapped anywhere, it helps open the gates in the other direction.  And my…. ummm, “area I cover in underpants” was on fire.  lol

That burning discomfort is what made me think of CV1, and ST25 was the next point that popped into my brain.  It was far from sexy as I applied pressure to these two points for a minute or so.  But in moments, I relaxed into sleep for 4 hours, after 2 hours of battling for comfort.

Adding these resources, led to an easy day. 

I remember past attempts, when I weathered the storm, the throes of pain, with no idea how to meet needs, I was so irritable the next day I was hard to be around.

Day 3

I was in good spirits today, after being drawn to the soft vulnerability of my Meeting of the Yin, and recalling my Celestial Pivot.  LOL.

I dabbed True Wound Mend, our topical for pain or injury, on my new “resources” for relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

Another busy day of clinic and soccer kept my focus, and along with my medicine, the bizarre pull was nearly zero.  I dabbed some more True Wound Mend before bed to try to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, which I recalled worsening through the first week.

Sleep came quickly which is such a relief compared to the alternative.  I slept four hours before the withdrawal symptoms were intense enough to wake me.  Withdrawal felt like cold sweats.  I piled the blankets on my chilled body, and did acupressure to Fire Element points.  TW23, SI19, HT7.  I was able to relax back to sleep pretty quickly, and get another three hours of sleep!   It’s waaay more challenging to weather withdrawal when you are sleep deprived!smoking addiction

Day 4

The medicine and acupressure seem to hold off the bizarre pull.  When it first pops into my brain, I take a few drops of the medicine and stimulate the acu-points I described on day 1, and the preoccupation with tobacco goes away for an hour, up to several hours.

The addition of dabbing True Wound Mend on a couple other acu-points seemed to be decreasing the withdrawal symptoms.  Most of my previous hundreds of attempts to quit tobacco didn’t make it to day four.  The growing intensity of craving and withdrawal symptoms would usually win by day three, but this time, day three was a bit easier than day two.

The night of day four barely felt like a speed bump.  I woke at 5:00 for a few minutes and fell back to sleep in a few minutes.

Day 5

Acupressure and Plant Medicine.  Day five didn’t feel like tobacco withdrawal.  It felt like a normal day.  I felt the bizarre pull a few times, and immediately took my medicine.  My acupressure protocol takes less than a minute.

When I first created this plan, it was not intended for “cold turkey.”  My plan was to make an agreement that if you want your tobacco product, do these 3 things first, and then if you still want it, go ahead.  Doesn’t that sound so much easier than cold turkey!?

I’m doing this cold turkey, to save a heart.

Day 6

Day 6 I got a red card at my daughter’s soccer game.  LOL  Click here to read the story.  It was upsetting and intense.  How the heck does Big Tobacco so intimately connect with our stress!?  Every time I made it past a week, I’d have a fight with my spouse or something, and feeling crappy made the bizarre pull too intense to withstand.

I may not have made it past the intensity of a red card without the faith, confidence, and reassurance I get from the woman with the soft heart.   It was broken by a heart attack, after too many years addicted to smoking.  The doctor said, “cigarettes are the only reason you had that heart attack, you must quit to survive.”

I’m not sure if I can get it to pain free for her, but I’ll do my best!  I bet we at least find a place called manageable.

Day 7

Does anyone else feel awful the day after an intense situation? OMG, I wanted to escape life so badly, just to relieve the discomfort my heart feels.  The lady soccer coach triggered the pain, but I’ve been hurting for months.  After 100+ day threes of withdrawal, and 50 day fours, and 20 day fives, along with just generally being too sensitive…my wife left last year.

It may be for the best.  We seemed to push each other’s buttons very intensely.

She’s a tough woman, with just enough sensitivity to protect and nurture some of the most sensitive kids I have ever met.  I’m a sensitive man, with just enough toughness to keep a roof over their heads.  We had 2 cars repossessed in the last 4 years, so  I wasn’t quite earning the “doctors salary” I had dreamed of, lol.

I came up with a plan to fix everything.

When my wife felt harsh or hard to me, I would soften her with love and appreciation.  I would create a website to sell the amazing medicines I had watched heal incurable diseases, and offer my healing like a real woman, with no expectations.

And I would lead a revolution, called Care Without Expectation.

I was still working on the website when she made her decision.  When I finished, now alone, I didn’t think I could handle the pain of withdrawal on top of the that turn of events.  I kept working on my plan, sharing Mother Nature and Healing, and “fighting” Profit over People, but I couldn’t battle addiction, because I needed it’s escape.

Then a woman found my mission She was inspired to try the healing True Health offers for lungs, which was the part of her that felt the most hurt from Big Tobacco.

She read my stories of healing and started urging.  “You can do it.  I know you can.  You can take away the pain and imprisonment of Big Tobacco.

I named her Badass Momma, because she was the first person to comment on my new website’s blog!

I agreed to do my best, but I didn’t think I was ready to pick that fight, until Badass Momma had a heart attack.  She emailed her struggle for life, and fighting the bizarre pull and withdrawal symptoms.  The cravings and withdrawal had hurt her so badly in the past that she quit quitting, just like DrStone!

I suggested she “do her best” while I “get up ahead of her.”  I’ll face the pain of bizarre pull and withdrawal and heal that hurt just like the many other conditions I wasn’t supposed to be able to help.

Day 8

I feel resolved.  Of course, I know life will bring hard or intense stress and I will need the medicine and acupressure, but I know it works, when I need it.  I still have to get Badass Momma through this mess, in a much weaker condition.  I was feeling as strong as I have ever felt, and she is recovering from a heart attack.  We might not achieve cold turkey, but I bet we win.

If you are fighting for your life, or sick and tired of giving your money and health to Big Tobacco, join us.  One Hundred fails, and this plan made it seem easy.  And there are no side effects of plant medicines, other than a bitter taste.  There are no dangers, except that it might not work as well for you.

All I know is that if I took the medicine the first moment I felt the bizarre pull, and did the acupressure as I described, the craving went away.  I added True Wound Mend and another couple acu-points to ease the throes of withdrawal, and instead of getting worse by the day, it all got easier.

If you try my plan, I will stand by for you.  If you are faced with a pain you cannot relieve, just post it here, and I will tell you what to do next, and next, until we find easy, or at least manageable.
