Why is it so difficult to give up smoking?

Despite extensive advertising of the risks of smoking, the numbers of smokers is declining very slowly. It is not easy to give up smoking because of the physical addiction to nicotine as well as the routine and habits associated with smoking. Nicotine, like many addictive substances, stimulates a part of the brain which makes us feel good. This involves the release of a natural brain chemical called dopamine. Removing nicotine can leave a quitting smoker short of dopamine for a few weeks creating a withdrawal effect.

One of the main reasons why even the most strong-willed people can’t quit smoking is because they suffer from anxiety and irritability that’s caused by nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

This can create a behaviour pattern where stopping smoking may in fact result in you wanting to smoke to alleviate these symptoms.

Stopping ‘cold turkey’ or with the help of nicotine patches may not address these common withdrawal symptoms. And when you think about it, replacing cigarettes with nicotine patches is really a different way of applying the same chemicals.

Clinically proven herbal medicine

The medicine code named Ze 117 trialled at the Brain Sciences Institute has a direct effect on dopamine which researchers believe reduces the withdrawal effects of taking away nicotine. It is also reduces the mood swings which can cause quitting smokers to start up again.

Who are the Brain Sciences Institute?

The Brain Sciences Institute is a part of Swinburne University in Melbourne Australia. They have conducted a large number of trials of natural and synthetic medicines. The director of the institute, Professor Con Stough is an expert in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) for natural medicines and has conducted a large number of RCTs on natural medicines such as Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa, DHA, St John's Wort, Vinpocetine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Huperzine A, anti-oxidants (Pycnogenol and Ropren) amongst many others. Prof Stough's role is in the design of the psychological measures to be used as well as in the statistical analysis, interpretations of the report and the various publications and presentations of the data. Professor Stough has the overall responsibility for clinical trials in the BSI, and has designed and conducted the trial of Ze 117 in smoking cessation.

Who is offering this programme?

Flordis, one of Australia's leading natural medicine companies sells its products strictly to practitioners only. This is because the Flordis products are real medicines, proven in hundreds of clinical trials, and Flordis believes that natural health practitioners add tremendous value to help patients with difficult challenges like quitting smoking.

The Flordis product Remotiv (Ze 117) is a clinically proven herbal product that is believed to work in two ways:

  • Reduction of irritability and anxiety caused by nicotine withdrawal,
    which can lead to taking up smoking again.
  • Direct action on the addiction itself – in other words, the reward
    pathways in the brain that respond to nicotine.

So now you may be ready to consider a more natural treatment and a more constructive programme to help you quit for good.
