To Quit Smoking using Chantix (varenicline) is not very likely. If you do happen to avoid the high incidence of the reported and FDA acknowledged correlation to suicide and thoughts of suicide, your chances are still less than 10% to have success in your attempt to quit smoking. Pfizer is marketing Chantix (varenicline) as having a higher success rate than may be actual fact. This may be because in clinical trials the treatment was closely supervised and the patients received counseling and all the support they needed. Just imagine a chemical chantix (varenicline) is given to stop smoking, counseling and support is given 24 hrs around the clock for a 12 week period and the success rate is only 44% how ineffective might this drug chantix (varenicline) really be? In the real world who has 24 hour on demand support? You can see why the REAL World Rate of success is more like 1 In 11 when using chantix to quit smoking, not very good.

Pfizer may have also managed to get away with not listing the full side effects that include not only their listed vomiting, nausea, abnormal dreams, sleep disturbance and constipation, this according to the January 18, 2008 Pfizer’s Patient Information sheet. That same sheet failed to let smokers know of vastly more serious risks associated with using chantix to stop smoking. The risks mentioned on varenicline’s Full Prescribing Information Sheet, including those of suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, psychotic events, kidney failure, joint pain, muscle pain and arthritis when chantix is used to quit smoking.

With chantix (varenicline) just like with nicotine patches, gums and other drugs that are like zyban, and used to quit smoking, smokers are likely to experience heavy withdrawal after ending chantix (varenicline),

Most importantly it has been indicated that Pfizer is failing to let smokers know that fail chantix (varenicline ) users have relapsed to smoking in one year to the tune of 50% and this is the rate of the 12 week clinical studies with all the support. The rate may approach 100% in the Real World with those using it to suit smoking.

There is an excellent website that goes into the analytical detail of why not to use Pfizer chantix (varenicline) to quit smoking. Chicago’s Smoking Ban has caused a raise in my hypnosis clients. Lastly If you are interested, you can also go to the FDA website and read it’s warning on chantix (varenicline)

When I first Learned Self-Hypnosis

When I learned self-hypnosis I never knew it would be such a benefit to me. I learned the benefits of self-hypnosis in high school because I was an avid reader and read many self-help books and hypnosis intrigued me the most. The first time I utilized self-hypnosis I knew it was powerful and I used it off and on when I thought of it. When later in life I had my first experience with a Professional Hypnotherapist, a light went on inside me. My practice of self-hypnosis was re-vivified as I realized that the hypnosis sessions with the Hypnotherapist caused me to experience greater depths in my self-hypnosis sessions and my self-hypnosis sessions in turn caused me to experience going deep into hypnosis quicker and easier each session.

Self Hypnosis Helped With MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

In 2001 I was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) by a team of 10 doctors. I used self-hypnosis, which caused the disease to disappear, the doctors called it spontaneous remission. 14 hours after diagnoses I met with the specialist who concluded that enough of the signs had disappeared including one sign that was supposedly irreversible that they had to withdraw the diagnosis. Self-hypnosis and autosuggestion is a very powerful tool when done properly. I will teach you how to do it properly and powerfully. The power of hypnosis is amazing when it is used to change lives in such a manner.

Learning Self Hypnosis

Now when it comes to hypnosis. It is good to have a professional to trust in facilitating (showing and guiding you) to the proper use of suggestion but hypnosis by way of suggestion occurs also every day from people that influence you so learn what to accept it and when to and take control of your own life as opposed to you being at the control of others who have various motives for you and your health.

Before getting to the actual steps that you will use as steppingstones toward becoming the you that you are Really meant to be, we will talk about self hypnosis in such detail that you will be able to fully understand how this procedure of self hypnosis will work for the purpose of restoring you to your ideal state of being whether you are using self-hypnosis for weight loss, or to change a habit or addiction like smoking or behavior or simply for personal achievement.

Thoughts Are Things

It is also important to realize that just as material things that we touch and feel have substance so also do thoughts, their essence may be subtler beyond our ability to touch yet they are things and influence things from subtle to gross. For example think of a time when you were in a situation where fear came up. That fear most likely caused many physiological changes to your body some of which you felt and were aware of and somewhere you were not. It may have caused the pupils of your eyes to dilate, the hairs on your skin to stand up, an uneasiness in your stomach and the hormones coursing through you so you could flee if need be.

All these actions began because of a primary causative factor namely a thought that you generated or considered and held long enough for it to sprout into a grain of truth (as far as your mind and body were concerned) So your mind body connection is intimately linked your body is the physical manifestation of your mind thoughts what your mind thinks your body also thinks and becomes. Change your mind change your physical manifestation and your body.

Consciously Create With Self Hypnosis

Most people unconsciously create themselves by following preconditioned or set patterns. You can become conscious of the process that goes on thereby retaining full consciousness and control of what you are creating anyway. What you have created unconsciously can be then consciously re-created through using self-hypnosis. You must learn to drop and release old patterns and you will then drop and release the habits behavior or weight. In the case of those that need to lose weight or even gain or maintain weight self-hypnosis will allow a release of the attitudes that prevent you from reaching or maintaining your ideal weight. Emotions are thought driven and they too play a very strong role in the actions that we do that cause us to not be our ideal selves. Sometimes our emotions get mixed up and we substitute food or poor habits for a lack of love or a feeling of being hurt. This also is where self-hypnosis can turn things around.

In self-hypnosis part 2 we will learn an actual self hypnosis technique. I will also go Much Deeper into discussing the various methods, deepeners and how autosuggestion can Better help you.

I applaud this because this aspect of the mind-body connection is all-important and often lacking in most diet plans. People who through sheer force of will happen to lose weight on a diet cannot keep it up and at some point the sheer force of will power give way like it most always does and a disaster is often the result. It’s not a question of what if but more like when this will occur. Hypnosis as I will show would do the Biggest service.  The Loser is one that does not  replace ingrained mental conditioning or programming that is emotionally based.

“Most of us know that eating and weight problems are not caused by one issue,” said Jenny Conviser, co-director at Insight. “There are no gimmicks, no quick fixes,” Conviser said of the new weight program. The program does offer support and teaches how to deal with complex issues.

Where this idea falls short when compared to utilizing a hypnotherapy program is that with professional staff and in what can be identified with a laboratory setting of support gives the false since of security and the client who has often had a lifetime of wrong eating wrong thinking and believing that certain emotions such as fear or hurt are causes to eat wrongly will undeniably not have enough tools or “laboratory condition support” time to have unlearned what has been taught to them.

Be aware that you have been “you” for many many years the learned and socialized habits you have learned pertaining to eating, nutrition, exercise and emotions are habits that die hard. You must be prepared to go “beyond what you have known and what you may have tried.

Psychotherapy as compared to hypnosis and hypnotherapy is often notoriously expensive and time intensive so for the amount of support that would be needed to unlearn or deprogram from a lifetime of wrong thinking, the price is often out of most peoples range. The losers are often the clients with emotional problems who end up with their emotions resurfacing but their pockets cleaned out and desperately in need of solutions.

Solutions based on hypnotherapy using a strong programming based on hypnosis on the other hand deals straightaway with those emotions and is akin to taking out and old outdated program an installing a new updated program.

With so many shows like “The Biggest Loser” people just become victims and feel that it is all exterior circumstances that got them to be where they are and they ignore the emotional component and do not take the responsibility for what is mainly an interior problem that needs to be dealt with on that playing field.

Emotions are thought driven and they too play a very strong role in the actions that we do that cause us to not be our ideal selves. Sometimes our emotions get mixed up and we substitute food or poor habits for a lack of love or a feeling of being hurt. This also is where self-hypnosis can turn things around.

In my practice I tell my clients that are looking to lose weight that they are going to work hard. The Biggest work in Losing weight however is not hours of unrealistic physical training (who couldn’t lose with hardcore physical trainers barking at you and making you exercise half of the day?
The biggest work will come in releasing or losing the emotions that we protect or suppress and becoming detached from what has become a safety. My clients leave my program after only 5-7 sessions not necessarily at their goal weight, but they are operating at the much higher levels of being aware of the emotional component that is the drive behind eating wrongly.  The program and solutions the hypnosis offers are effective and quick! weight loss becomes a habit and along  with the component of self-hypnosis that I teach,  the auto-suggestions they practice on their own the new program gets anchored in and they get better and better every day in each and every way. Thus those who have seen themselves as constant losers are Bigger Winners.

In examining local weight loss programs in Chicago, it then makes sense that ones utilizing hypnosis can be the most Effective and Quick! Weight Loss Programs That Use Hypnosis are more effective comprehensive and fully addresses the mental programming and emotional consideration that may be an influence. The emotional influences are triggered from various sources including society generally as a whole and family and friends specifically. Effective weight loss hypnosis sessions with an experienced professional will utilize this knowledge when they facilitate the changing of perceptions and address how one actually responds to feelings as they relate to food and other emotional considerationsFor effective lasting or permanent weight loss, reprogramming the mind using hypnotherapy is key, an experienced Hypnotherapist will best serve you by utilizing new programming that removes no longer needed patterns such as eating for emotional reasons, eating out of habit or other similar learned behaviors.If you are someone who eats when you are emotional, feeling badly or during any other time of unwanted emotional upset, then you can see how deeply ingrained and powerful the old programming is. An old program is only in effect until a new more powerful program comes along, The new program learned with these hypnotherapy sessions now becomes the standard once the old program is removed a new way of dealing with your feelings is introduced and you will see no resistance. You will not only lose unwanted weight with hypnosis but also keep it off.The Hypnosis Weight Loss Program provides a solution that is effective and quick, weight loss hypnosis sessions are easy and relaxing and usually only 5 to 7 sessions are required for most people. In being hypnotized for weight loss, you will begin to effect a change in the recesses of the mind starting in the first session and you will feel the difference.
