  Most smokers who have attempted to quit, but who did not succeed, can tell you that it's a complete nightmare (the kind where you are awake), yet, HOW did they try to quit, and what forces "pulled them back in?" Quitting smoking isn't really about feeling horrible and having to resist craving for relief. This is the MAIN REASON 95% of smokers who try to quit, without help, go right back to a pack-a-day or more within 6 months. Everybody seeks relief when they feel sick, depressed or stressed. There's dramamine for seasickness, there's aspirin for headaches, there are (scary) medications for depression and anxiety ... and then there are natural remedies that make you feel amazing, with ZERO side effects, without a prescription from a doctor, and you can "take" them anytime you feel bad, including when you "think" you need a cigarette. Amazing, huh?     You can live "the dream" instead of the "nightmare....

    After World War II, the cigarette manufacturing companies went right to work on domestic cigarettes – marketing to unsuspecting Americans a new toxic breed of chemicals with tobacco , and the victims were all those who thought smoking tobacco was a harmless habit, and that it was considered by many social classes or circles of elite to be "cool." Ads with doctors and cowboys and Hollywood actors were used as the ultimate iconic con. Hundreds of thousands of tobacco smokers were now lighting up pesticide-laden tobacco mixed with plastics to burn hotter, and then they added the formaldehyde and ammonia. Lung cancer cases went crawling into hospitals and hospices, with no cure in sight. President Nixon started the fake "War on Cancer" as US hospitals filled up with case after case after case of cancer, of the lungs, the stomach, the pancreas, the prostate, the bladder. You name it, cancer became an epidemic and nearly a pandemic, yet the doctors knew WAY ...

  It's so easy these days to slip into a funk. Your daily regimen gets thrown off kilter because a few organic companies sold out to GMO Big Food industry giants and changed some of their major raw materials into synthetic, processed junk food fillers that break your system down, and fast. You read some interesting article from some major media source like a popular health magazine or a cooking show and you get off your clean food kick by accident, because you are misinformed about some "healthy food" that's not only NOT healthy, but ruins your digestion, immunity and cell repair abilities, and all that "healthy" talk you've been talking isn't "walking" anywhere but to the bathroom to try to excrete the chemicals from your vegetarian, vegan, or "devil in sheep's clothing" of a diet.   Face it–your lifestyle has been altered, as in "gene altered" at the factory, and at the laboratory of food "science,...

  Don't feel bad that you're "gullible" – it's not an intelligence thing, you've been brainwashed by advertising and insidious marketing tricks for decades, but all of that is about to change.   Top 8 "Most-Believed" American Health Myths:   1. The dairy myth: "milk – it does a body good." Humans are the only animals that consume milk after infancy or from another animal. Oops. Cut out the dairy and see how much LESS mucus and congestion you wake up with in the morning. It's a tell tale sign that dairy is bad for you.   2. The protein myth: you have to eat meat to get enough protein for your body to be healthy. Yep, there are plenty of sources of protein that are raw and awesome that your body doesn't have to work so dang hard to break down, digest and dissolve just to get to those amino acids (plus conventional meat contains hormones and antibiotics, not to mention GM bacteria). Try phytoplankton, raw organic kale...

  Get this: A cigarette's average length is about 3.5 inches, and there are about 20 cigarettes in a pack, so if you smoke a pack a day, every day for 10 years, you will have smoked 255,500 inches of cigarette (minus the filter), which totals over 21,000 feet, divide that by the number of feet in one mile (5,280) and put all those cigarettes end-to-end in the street and the grand total would equal 4 miles of cigarettes that you smoked. Take all those same numbers but use a factor of 2 packs of cigarettes per day smoked for 20 years, and that totals over 1 million inches of cigarettes , which is over 25,000 total feet, and lay all those down in the road end-to-end and you've smoked 16 miles of cigarettes . Let's take it up a notch. Take all those same figures still and now change the two pack-a-day smoker to 30 years in the making and you've got 1,533,000 inches of smokes, totaling 127,750 feet, laid out in the road is 24 miles long . And for the grand finale...

Why should smokers care about non-smokers when most non-smokers don't seem to care much about smokers – right? Where's the sympathy for the plight, the blight, the addiction? Some non-smokers try to help the smokers, sometimes because they feel bad for them, or empathize, or they've heard a great method for quitting, but most smokers already have put up barriers – they've told all the people around them they know EVERYTHING and they don't want to hear it. But maybe, just maybe, if the smokers really took the time to think of what it's like to be around a smoker as a non-smoker, and see what they see, and breathe what they breathe, and KNOW what they know - well - then maybe they would WANT to quit and would ALSO KNOW HOW!   Top 20 things non-smokers hate about smokers – and why you should quit   1. The smell almost suffocates you   2. The way smokers look – holding the cigarette, their brown and yellow teeth, and their skin co...
