Center of Specialized Medicine, “This is the last treatment you will ever need for nicotine addiction.  You can stop smoking in one doctor's visit.  85% Success Rate”.

SMOKING IS ADDICTIVE
The FDA and AMA have classified nicotine as an addictive drug. Nicotine has a physiological (biochemical) and psychological (habitual) role in addiction.  After years of smoking, your body is physically dependent on nicotine and your mind has formed a hand to mouth habit that it is used to from years of lighting up.

When you try to stop smoking, you go through nicotine withdrawal.  Symptoms include nervousness, irritability, stomach disturbances and loss of concentration.  These symptoms are caused by a buildup of a substance called acetylcholine in your system.

THE TREATMENT METHOD
Our Physician will administer the specific medications proven to block the effects of the excessive build-up of acetylcholine due to the introduction of nicotine into the blood stream.

This medical procedure consists of a onetime set of intramuscular, intradermal and/or subcutaneous injections to eliminate physical withdrawal symptoms.  This combination of medications it titrated, mixed and tailored for the individual by the physician based on height, weight and physical examination at the time of your office visit.

Oral medications are prescribed after the treatment for prevention of mental withdrawal symptoms that may be experienced by the individual.  These medications may consist of all or parts of the following: norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine inhibitors, tranquilizers, antidepressants, antagonists and agonist, anticholinergic, and acetylcholine inhibitors, as well as antihistamine and antiemetics if needed.  The blocking solution completely eliminates the effects that nicotine has on your nervous system and prevents the withdrawal symptoms DIRECTLY, IMMEDIATELY & EFFECTIVELY.

IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?
Absolutely.  All medications in the solution are commonly used and are nonaddictive.  In addition, the physician will screen every individual and perform necessary testing to ensure your safety.

Some concurrent conditions that would prevent treatment include cardiac arrhythmias, acute angle glaucoma, pregnancy and prostatic hypertrophy.

Additionally, the treatment is administered in two stages.  The patient's reaction is carefully monitored to ensure a therapeutic dosage.  Patients should expect to allow one hour for the procedure.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
The amount of medication is small but effective.  Possible side effects are minor.  They include decrease in perspiration, dryness of the mouth, euphoria and temporary blurred vision lasting up to six hours.  Due to these possible side effects do not eat any dry foods and YOU MUST BRING A DRIVER WITH YOU BEFORE THE PHYSCIAN WILL ADMINISTER TREATMENT.

WHAT DO I DO INSTEAD OF SMOKING?
Replacing the habitual part of the addiction is easy, once you have the physical withdrawal under control. While you are at the clinic, we will show you precisely how to replace that habit, so you do not return to cigarettes.
 
LONG TERM EFFECTS OF SMOKING
Nicotine is only one of 4800 toxins or poisonous chemicals found in cigarettes. Others include cyanide, arsenic, formaldehyde, acetone, benzene, cadmium, lead, tar, carbon monoxide and ammonia.  Ammonia is poison to your brain. 

As a smoker inhales, blood pressure rises causing your heart to work harder than normal.  The capillaries constrict and acid is dumped into your stomach.  Smoking one pack a day cuts as much as 10% of overall oxygen in your body.

Smoking causes increased nervousness, irritability and tension due to delayed stimulation and pumping of adrenaline.

According to the American Lung Association, smoking alone is linked to 90% of lung cancer deaths and 80-90% deaths due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (CaPO). There are 7000 lung cancer deaths in non-smokers, simply due to inhaling second-hand smoke.  Smoking increases your risk of Coronary Artery Disease and Stroke.

Other smoking related cancers include cancers of the oral cavity (including of the tongue), pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and bladder.  Over 440,000 people die per year due to smoking related diseases.
 
WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE?
Our Physician has been administering this method of smoking cessation treatment for over 15 years.  This is the only proven medical procedure that completely arrests physical withdrawal symptoms with smoking cessation.  The success rate of this procedure is approximately 85%.

There is nothing to lose but a bad habit.

MEDICAL TESTS PRIOR TO TREATMENT
