 "D were at least as dangerous as a one-pack-per-day smoking habit.66
My wife, Vicki, raised her serum levels from 21 ng/ml to 55 in eight weeks by taking about 7,000 units per day of supplemental vitamin D. Based on the research just referenced,61 how much has she reduced her risk of colon cancer? According to the formula given by Dr. Giovannucci, my calculations show that her risk of death by colon cancer alone has been decreased close to 73%, provided the influence of vitamin D is equal in men and women."- Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) |
 "USER COMMENTS: "Like a lot of folks I went to a hypnotist to help me quit the 2-packs-a-day smoking habit I'd had for more than fifteen years. It was a relaxing process. The hypnotist began the session by having me close my eyes and relax. We went to safe, relaxing places and counted the steps down to deeper relaxation. I never felt any loss of control or awareness, just openness to new and better ideas.
I think the self-help tape he gave me to use as needed was an important factor in my finally being able to quit after many, many attempts."- Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.) |
 "It wasn't the tobacco disease that killed them, it was their smoking habit; the side effects of inhaling carcinogenic chemicals day after day, year after year for decades on end. It was the person's own decisions that killed them." Once again, it's a slow suicide, just as with heart disease, cancer, diabetes or any of these other metabolic disorders that are the direct result of choices people make in their lives."- Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) |
 "Essentially, you must identify every subhabit embedded within your smoking habit and try to find a way to avoid the triggering behavior or replace the habit with something else. For example, if you feel that you need something in your hand, purchase one of those squishy stress balls that you typically see at checkout stands at office supply or computer supply stores. These balls are not called stress balls for nothing, as squishing them over and over during times of stress has a remarkable soothing effect. If you feel that you need something in your mouth, chew on toothpicks or chew gum."- Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.) "While you are counting down the days to your quit date, make a written inventory of your smoking habit. Smoking is both an addiction (to the drug nicotine and probably hundreds of other toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke) and a collection of habits that have been strongly integrated into your lifestyle. It is important that you carefully look at the various habits that make up your smoking lifestyle and develop strategies to cope with the loss of each of these small habits." - Michael T.

 "Once the smoking habit has been acquired, it is difficult to break. Some authorities have stated that addiction to tobacco may be harder to overcome than addiction to heroin or cocaine. This is because smoking creates both physical and psychological dependency. It may be easier to overcome the physical addiction than the psychological dependency. Acute physical withdrawal, while unpleasant, lasts for a limited period of time, usually no more than several weeks. Long-term cravings are more likely a matter of psychological dependency, and require an ongoing effort to master."- Phyllis A.

"In addition, the smoking habit means pursing one's lips hundreds of times each day. The creases that form when you inhale from a cigarette often develop into wrinkles at a comparatively early age. þ No matter what your age or skin type, protect yourself from the sun. Always apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to all exposed areas of skin, especially your face, regardless of the season or the weather. Sun exposure is the single greatest source of skin damage. Q Get regular exercise. Like other organs of the body, skin gets its nourishment from the bloodstream." - Phyllis A.

 "The rapidly rising cancer rate among women today reflects the smoking habit established about thirty years ago and continued since then. The cigarette-smoking habit is now increasingly common among adolescents of all classes and working people, while the white-collar classes, particularly professional men, are giving it up in increasing numbers. Also, a greater proportion of black men smoke than whites and they are more likely to use non-filters than whites."- Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., The Politics of Cancer Revisited (Get the book.) |
 "There is a tendency for poor dietary habits to accompany the destructive smoking habit. Many smokers tend to eat more meats, fatty, fried, and refined foods than nonsmokers, although there are smoking vegetarians, smoking exercise fanatics, and smoking health enthusiasts.
This plan, with adequate fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, will help to replenish the protective antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins C, E, and A, beta-carotene, and selenium. In addition, raw seeds and nuts, legumes, sprouts, and other proteins should be consumed."- Elson M.
