You probably remember “Kryptonite” from the Superman movies. It was that greenish-hued crystal that drains Superman’s powers, while being harmless to humans. Now think of how powerful the nicotine addiction is, well that is, until it “meets” mucuna pruriens, an amazing bean that grows on planet Earth, that actually drains the power of the addiction, by raising dopamine levels safely for humans. Kryptonite may be fictional, but mucuna is not fictional. It’s real. It grows naturally in tropical climates, like in India and Brazil. Then it’s harvested and sold in supplements. The mucuna plant has thin, long branches with large green leaves, and the stems blossom white flowers and exotic, purple, pod-shaped, 4-inch-long legumes. The fuzzy purple coating is not consumed, but the bean, the leaves and the roots are used as natural remedies and come with a laundry list of health benefits, that are now backed by peer-reviewed science, medical research and clinical stu...

At least half have tried to quit, but nicotine drags them back in like an undertow in the ocean after a hurricane.

Nicotine is a destructive force that slowly dismantles the entire immune system while turning average sicknesses deadly, with no discrimination for age, gende...

More than 35 million smokers and 15 million vape enthusiasts in America may just have a way to kick those cravings, especially when they can’t get to their nicotine. From the health writer who authored “ Don’t Eat Cancer ” and “ Stop Smoking Naturally in 14 Days ,” comes a mind-blowing beverage invention that could be a major stepping stone for people trying to cut back on cigarettes, switch to vaping, or find something healthy to quell those compelling cravings. A new, proprietary blend of supplements that comes in one of those liquid “shots” (2.5 fluid ounces) contains a superfood you may not have heard about yet, called  Mucuna Pruriens  (also known as Cowitch or L-Dopa). The “shot” is also loaded with top quality, bioavailable vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin), vitamin C (as L-Ascorbic acid), and about half-a-cup-of-coffee-worth of natural caffeine from guarana. Smokers and people who vape can substitute with a healthy Krave Kicker and raise their d...
