   Quitting  Smoking     
    
Quitting smoking is a big challenge and there's a few things you can do improve your chances of success.  There is plenty of free information at this quit smoking website

Acupuncture and some supplements can also help with the cravings while you develop new habits.  Usually Paul will put some small "seeds" in your ear that you can stimulate when you feel a craving and it will help you resist.  The seeds are stuck to the outside of your ear and look like tiny poppy seeds.  They don't hurt.
 
 There are some suplements that can help support your brain chemicals while you're undergoing this change, that will also help you resist and increase your chances of lasting success.
You can visit our website to see what's invovled with acupuncture, how many visits and frequently asked questions. 
 
Give us a call if you'd like to give it a try or you have friends trying to quit who would like some extra support.

Losing Weight
 Our biggest complaint is, "I can't eat all the food.  I feel like I'm eating all the time."
Read how Herbert lost 16kilos in 8 weeks.
Here's Herbert's story:
I'm so happy your ad grabbed my attention at the time when the heart specialist told me to make a lifestyle change or suffer a massive stroke. I am so pleased with the results of your 'Fat burning' programme which you guided me through. My eating habits have improved greatly based on your advice and guidance. I lost 16 kg. within the first two months and now remain stable. I don't feel deprived and I'm energized. I feel great and able to do more things. Before I started the programme I was always tired, now I feel full of energy throughout the day. I want to thank you for all the advice and words of motivation you have shared with me and helped me reach my goal. I would recommend a consultation to the 'Hope Clinic' to anyone. 
Many Thanks Herbert & Mappie 
 
 Well Christmas is over and now it's time to do something! 
 
 Sometimes it can be frustrating that even when you do all the right things, you don't lose any weight.  Often it's not your fault.  It's not because you eat too much or sit around too much and you're just kidding yourself.  What Paul is finding very often is that many of us have what is referred to as "obstacles to cure."  This means that sometimes there's other things going on in our body chemistry that is keeping us fat and working against our best efforts.
 
 The good news is that once you overcome these obstacles, the weight will begin to fall off and you will reap a reward for doing all the right things, instead of being frustrated.

Fast Facts  
Are there safe levels of mercury exposure? The Environmental Protection Agency in the USA has deemed that <0.1 mcg per kilogram of body weight would be considered a safe level of daily mercury exposure; that is, less than 7 mcg daily for a 70 kg person. Consider then that each dental amalgam filling releases 3 - 17 mcg mercury vapour daily,1 and you can see why a New Year's detox is a good idea.
 
Could dental amalgam fillings be undermining patients' health? A New Zealand study of 465 patients diagnosed with mercury toxicity found that 32.3% of patients suffered with severe fatigue, 88.8% had memory loss and 27.5% were depressed; all of which significantly improved with the removal of amalgam fillings.2 This data is further supported by studies reporting a 70% improvement in chronic health complaints after amalgam removal, including chronic fatigue, autoimmune thyroiditis and multiple sclerosis.
 
If you want some help with detoxing, get in touch.  Paul has a number of options to help you with general detoxing or heavy metals.  Just give us a call.
