"I
don't know how your treatment works; I only know it does. Being
skeptical, I was surprised and very grateful. I smoked for 48 years
plus and it was a big part of my way of life. The cost for your
treatment plus air fare, etc. between Missouri and Utah were well
worth it."
- "I am sorry that I did not come sooner. Everyone I have
met that has stopped smoking because of your treatment says the
same thing. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself."
- "This is by far the easiest method to stop smoking. I do
not even believe you need 'will power' for this, you just
need an ear. It's great and I refer people here almost every
day."
- "I was surprised it actually worked for me. I have quit
cold turkey before and it was a miserable experience physically.
I expected much the same with this."
- "I have a much easier time walking, especially up hills
or stairs. The wheezing stopped and I have energy for a lot longer
than before."
- "I had none of the 'extreme cravings and agonizing symptoms
associated with withdrawal'. This was a very easy way of quitting
for me. I had quit twice over the years (cold turkey) and both
times were awful."
- "I feel much better, no coughing in the morning. My breathing
is better; I have no shortness of breath after climbing stairs."
- "I smoked three packs a day for 40 years. It had taken control
of my life. With your help I have quit. I thank you for your help.
My grandchildren thank you."
- "I am in the U.S. military so work is always stressful and
thus I smoked a lot. Now, even though work is stressful, I don't
think about smoking at all. I highly recommend this to family,
friends and coworkers."
- "I think this was the best decision I have ever made. It
has been almost two months now and I am still smoke-free. I wish
everyone that smoked would give this a try."
- "Periodically, I want a cigarette, some days more often
than others. However, at no time have I had what I would call a
craving. I would never have believed quitting could be this easy."
- I work full time in a smoke shop and felt this would probably
be a problem. Not to worry. I go out drinking and to dinner every
Friday and never have a problem. Thank you for your help."
- "If I had known about this years ago I would have come in
sooner. This is an amazingly easy way to stop smoking."
- "Howdy, Leslie-Cam®!! I have been smoke-free for one month.
I have been smoking for 32 years and for at least the last two
to three years (at least) 2 ½ - 3 packs a day. If I can
do it, anyone can. I feel wonderful. I am thrilled that I no longer
smoke."
-
"My
appointment at the center was on Valentine's Day and I was
certain I would inform my loved one (later on that day) of another 'stop
smoking' program gimmick. I knew that 'what's her name' would
wave the 'I got zapped' wand I would be on my way to the
nearest cigarette store. I thought to myself this hocus-pocus center
will not turn me into a non-smoking geek who listens to jazz, eats
vegetables, and drinks purified water. Ugh! One month later, I
am writing a letter with a bottle of Dasani at my side, snacking
on carrots, listening to KEZK smooth jazz, and I can actually smell
the flowers on the table."
- "It's so amazing to have the bondage of nicotine over
me broken. I can't believe how much better I feel. I'm
so excited and want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity
to do this therapy. Thank you so very much for your help."
- "At first I tried to have a craving for one. The first few
days I didn't get that feeling of needing to smoke." I
feel fine, I have yet to want a cigarette. This was a blessing,
because it was not hard at all not to smoke. Day after day, I wait
for that mad rush or urge and it hasn't come. The best thing
I ever did was to come with my sister to your center."
- "I feel great. No coughing, I'm able to sleep without
piling pillows up to have uninterrupted sleep without a racking
cough. I'm surprised that I didn't even want to smoke.
It doesn't bother me to be around people who smoke or places
where smoking is the norm. Thank you once more. I can 'smell
the flowers more' and enjoy a smoke-free home and environment."
- "After I stopped, I was relaxed. I could definitely tell
the difference between a craving and a habit. I thought about it
often, but it was out of my mind as quickly as it had come."
- "I feel absolutely wonderful. I can hardly wait until I
can say I'm smoke free for a year two, three, etc. I'm
so proud of myself and not ashamed to say so!"
- "It was unbelievably easy. I still cannot believe it. I
had hypnosis twice before. The first time worked over twenty years
ago. The last time, 6 months ago, was a terrible hypnosis group,
and a waste of money and time."
- "At first I was worried it was going to be hard dealing
with cravings and being moody, but that didn't happen. So,
I think I was more surprised just how well it worked. The hardest
part was getting rid of habits that I had when I did smoke such
as car rides and lunch time."
- "I no longer stink like cigarettes and I realized this after
the first day of not smoking. I also can do flights of stairs a
lot easier without the hard breathing at the top."
-
"Any
craving for a cigarette passed in seconds. Certain situations or
activities triggered the desire to smoke, but it was easy to go
through those periods."
- "Pretty surprised - I will often realize that maybe I've
gone a whole day without even thinking of a cigarette."
- "I wasn't very hopeful that this would be successful.
I love smoking - always have. I certainly don't understand
why it works; I can only verify that it does work."
- "I feel good and I have a sense of freedom again. I'm
not a slave to nicotine now."
- "The cost for me to stop smoking was only $90, for what
I would call a miracle. I smoked for almost 53 years and stopped
instantly without extreme cravings and agonizing symptoms associated
with withdrawal. Now that is a miracle to me!"
- "No desire to smoke - really easy to get along without smoking
- staying busy helped."
- "Hope more people get this treatment and smoking is eliminated
some day. This treatment really does stop your cigarette (nicotine)
craving."
- "I felt good. I've done something positive for myself
for my health."
- "I feel clean, fresh, and free of a life long nasty habit."
- "I look better. I feel better. My skin has cleared, and
most of all, I smell better. With your help, I know that now I
can live a healthier life style."
- "I threw away the extra ashtray in my car before I left
the parking lot. I chewed ice a lot, stayed busy and took one day
at a time."
- "I feel great! One of the best decisions I've ever made
in my entire life. I can breathe easier, no more shortness of breath.
My fiancé is happy, my family is happy, and I'm happy."
- "It was pretty easy not to smoke. I'm still amazed at
how well I'm doing. The thought of a cigarette comes to mind,
but it quickly goes away."
- "I really didn't feel anything in particular; I just
couldn't believe the next morning that I wasn't reaching
for a cigarette. It really amazes me to this day especially after
22 years of smoking."
- "I feel great! I've taken up walking more now that I
can breathe better and my chest no longer hurts to breathe deep."
- "I must say the night before I prayed that this treatment
worked for me. I'm so glad that I'm smoke free now thanks
to Leslie-Cam®. I can taste food better now and actually smell the
coffee brewing before I get out of bed in the morning."
- "It was much easier than I thought it would be. At times
I would think about smoking, but I was never tempted to actually
do it. I was also ecstatic that I didn't eat more."
-
"I
am extremely happy. I know this is permanent. I almost never think
about smoking and I've replaced the habit with exercise."
- "Overall, I'd say this was about 10% my effort
and 90% from the treatment. I've quit cold turkey before
but this is so much easier and it feels more permanent."
- "I feel much better. I still have a cough, but not nearly
as severe. I have a greater energy level and don't procrastinate
as much."
- "I was amazed that I could no longer taste the cigarette
I had smoked right before I came inside the office. I had no withdrawals
or desire for a cigarette."
