Support for Quitting Smoking

The following is an excerpt from Kristina Amelong's book, Ten Days to Optimal Health: A Guide to Nutritional Therapy and Colon Cleansing.

The smoke from a cigarette exposes your body to over 600 dangerous chemicals, including heavy metals such as cadmium, formaldehyde, phenol, acetaldehyde, and arsenic. Smoking while on this dietary and colon cleansing program is obviously counterproductive to the work that you are trying to accomplish. The great news is that within two weeks of the program most of the nicotine will be gone from your body. Yes, it only takes two weeks for the majority of nicotine to leave your body. By the end of this program, you can easily be a nonsmoker. And this program is set up to make it much easier to quit smoking. Bile, from the gallbladder, is your main tool for carrying the nicotine and other toxins out of your body in these two weeks. Colon cleansing, and particularly coffee enemas, increases the flow of bile out of your body. Thus, if you are quitting smoking, take coffee enemas after your cleansing enemas, one to seven times per week. Once the nicotine is out of the body, all physical withdrawal will cease.

During the initial two weeks and after, it is important to realize that stress has a physiological effect on the body, which increases the desire for cigarettes. Stress makes the urine acidic. Whenever the urine becomes acidic, the body excretes more nicotine. Thus, when a smoker encounters a stressful situation, he excretes more nicotine and goes into withdrawal.

Most smokers feel that when they are nervous or upset, cigarettes help calm them down. The calming effect from cigarettes is not relief from the emotional strain of a situation, but actually the effect of replenishing the nicotine supply and ending the withdrawal. During stressful times, take more coffee enemas. During stressful times, find a friend who can listen to you rant and rave about the stressful situation. During stressful times, play a musical instrument. During stressful times, take a long walk in a favorite spot and cry. And do try to diminish the amount of stress that you are under when you take on quitting smoking.

With small and steadfast steps, you will be successful!
