The Best Gift of Life Program has successfully treated thousands of smokers in Europe and now in the United States. We have received unprecedented press attention from the media including CNN, Good Morning America and all major broadcast networks.

Our unique laser treatment produces exciting and dramatic results. We maintain an 80 to 85% success rate of clients being smoke free on their second visit. Our 30 day success ratio on an average month ranges between 60 to 75%. These kinds of statistics are virtually unheard of for a smoking cessation program. We track these results thru a carbon monoxide test and a 30 day follow up phone call to measure our success.

Basically our laser acts as a calming agent so that when you stop smoking, the withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting are either greatly reduced or completely eliminated. Our treatment makes the physical addiction dramatically easier for the client to then be able to quit successfully.

Aside from our low level laser treatment which helps terminate the physical addiction to smoking, we combine this therapy with three other crucial elements which are...

• Motivation and Guidance
  
  
• Advice
  
  
• Education about Smoking

As everyone reacts differently to stopping smoking, the program is tailored to each individual's needs. This means that regardless of how many you have smoked and for how long, the program can help you achieve your goal.

Fact: Carbon monoxide, tars and nicotine are the three main components of tobacco.

Laser Treatment
First and foremost, our laser therapy is completely non-invasive, painless and safe. We use a cold, soft laser beam and we apply it to 27 acupuncture based pressure points located on your hands, nose, ears and wrist. Clients find the laser sessions relaxing, tranquil and soothing. We provide you with a comfortable and tranquil environment to make your experience pleasant and also therapeutic.

This laser treatment will activate in your body the release of endorphins, your very own natural brain chemical that is used to relieve pain and stress. Studies in Europe show a strong connection between a smokers endorphin level and their addiction to nicotine. Studies indicate that nicotine releases endorphins to the smoker, which give that person a false sense of relaxation. When a smoker tries to quit, it is a sudden and severe drop in their own endorphin levels that lead to extreme irritability, intense cravings, stress, tension, anxiety and depression. Our treatment restores balance back to the system by stimulating the clients endorphin levels and at the same time keeping the client calm once the nicotine cravings kick in.

Treatment Details
The first thing you have to do is call us to schedule an appointment. This primary appointment will be your quit date. We recommend that prior to the appointment you should remove all evidence of your smoking addiction from you car, home and workplace. You may have your last cigarette at the door of our building, however after the primary session we recommend that you throw away any remaining cigarettes.

The primary session is one hour long and you will receive consultation with a trained technician, a co2 test, the laser treatment and all the advice that you will need to take home with you. We will also set up your second appointment.

One session is all that is required to be able to become smoke free, however the first 5 days of quitting smoking are the most crucial. For that reason we recommend that you come back for a second session within 2 to 5 days of the primary visit. We like to make sure you are doing well and keep you focused on your goal of staying smoke free. You will receive another carbon monoxide test and laser treatment. We have seen greater success with clients who come back for a second treatment within a week of their primary session. Follow up sessions are approximately 25 minutes.

The third visit is created as a back up support session. It is there for you any time and it does not expire. We have this session in place for you if in the future if you ever feel you need a little reinforcement to help keep you smoke free.
