Cigarette Addiction
Taken from
The Ultimate Healing System
By Donald Lepore, N.D.
Smoking is man’s abomination to the
body, but fifty percent of the population at the present time is still smoking
cigarettes! If God wanted you to smoke, He would have built a cigarette on
your lip!
Nicotine is the opposite molecule of
Niacin. Another name for Niacin is Nicotinic Acid. With Nicotine,
the Niacin in the brain is displaced and replaced with the Nicotine, causing an
addiction to the cigarettes. When the addicted person is not able to have
the Nicotine, irritableness, depression or crabbiness are evident. This
individual feels an inability to relax until after procuring “the fix” – a
cigarette. The relaxation a person feels after having smoked a cigarette
is due to the addiction to the Nicotine that has displaced the Niacin in the
body.
If a person wishing to stop smoking
does it “cold turkey”, usually the body will start to put on weight.
The reason for this is that the Niacin now needs to displace the Nicotine that
is phasing out. Niacin is one of the “enrichments” in white bread, and
this is why many people who stop smoking will start to search out starches which
contain Niacin.
By administering Niacin and
Niacinamide, the person will not have cravings for starches, so the weight will
not be gained if Niacinamide or Niacin is utilized. Another thing smoking
does is tar the lungs. It would be to visualize a sponge. The
function of a sponge is to absorb liquid, but if the sponge is sprayed with
something like nail polish, it will harden and solidify and be unable to absorb
liquid. By tarring the lungs with cigarette tar, the lungs are not
functioning, as they should be. Therefore, the blood is not being purified
because it is not getting the oxygen that it needs to do so.
Oxygen is very important to the body.
The body can go without food for forty days and without water for six or seven
days, but the body cannot go without oxygen for more than six minutes.
This is how precious air is to the body. Oxygen purifies the blood, so
when you smoke, you are curtailing your lungs’ ability to purify the blood.
Therefore, over a long period of time, the blood will become contaminated and
start to affect the other parts of the body.
It is said that each cigarette burns up
twenty-five milligrams of Vitamin C. The job that Vitamin C does in the
body, is basically clean it up, but we have found that it also burns Sulfur.
Ironically, the throat coughs which you get are Nicotine demands from the brain,
but we have found that smoking also burns up Sulfur in the blood. To
replace the Sulfur, we have used the Sulfur-containing amino acids:
Methionine and Cysteine and the herbs Sarsaparilla and Fenugreek. When the
Sulfur in the system has been burned up, the smoker might experience a sore
throat which usually means there is a fat allergy.
The antidote to the fat allergy is
Sulfur. When a person with a fat allergy has a piece of bread and butter
along with eggs, there will probably be a coughing fit because of the fat
(butter), and feel the need to light up another cigarette. By doing this,
more Sulfur will be thrown out (remember Sulfur purifies the blood), thus making
the situation worse.
Sulfur is the beauty mineral, being
used to make beautiful skin, hair and nails. Cigarette smoking throws out
Sulfur along with L-Methionine and L-Cysteine, the amino acids which make the
cells more flexible. Therefore, cigarette smoking can actually be
considered an aging device, causing a person to age faster than normally.
One of the first things we recommend to people who enter a Life-Extension
Program is to stop smoking.
One of the things which smoking is
believed to cause is a Hiatal hernia. We believe this is true because when
an allergic substance enters the system; there will be explosions in the stomach
affecting the hiatal valve. When the allergic foods are eaten, the acid in
the stomach will come up into the hiatal valve of the esophagus and burn it,
causing what is known as a Hiatal hernia. One of the most important things
to do when this condition occurs is to stop smoking.
Stopping smoking is much easier said
than done, but we believe that if a person’s health is restored, that this
might make it easier to stop. Some of the things used in our process to
cure smokers are:
1) Niacin, a vaso-dilator, to displace Nicotine in
the brain.
2) Vitamin
B-15, to give the body more oxygen so the desire to smoke would be less.
3) Vitamin
E, to utilize oxygen in the body more thoroughly.
4) The herb
Golden Seal, to melt the tar from the lungs.
One thing, which should be mentioned
about the herb Golden Seal, is that it should not be used in the beginning of
the program. Since it actually melts tar from the lungs, and acts as an
expectorant, it will bring up a lot of green and yellow phlegm from the lungs,
which might make the person fearful. This herb should be used after the
smoking has stopped and the lungs have begun to reconstruct, as if it is done
all at once, the person might suffer a traumatic experience and go back to
smoking.
Another device that can be used is a
special filter that contains a water chamber. What the filter does is
lessen the intake of nicotine and tar from the cigarette making it easier for a
person to switch to a lower tar and nicotine cigarette, and eventually stop.
By using a filter, the person will also see the trappings of the tar in the
filter which normally enter the lungs. This will hopefully make them think
twice about what they are putting into their bodies, and perhaps take an adverse
stand against smoking.
A book that we recommend for people who
wish to stop smoking is “You Can Stop”, by Smoke Enders (co-founder),
Jacquelyn Rogers. The book is published by Pocket Books, 1230 Avenue of
the Americas, New York, New York, 10020.
ROYAL JELLY
Royal Jelly is actually bee’s milk,
which is made by the nurser bees by chewing up bee pollen (without swallowing
it) and mixing it with a chemical which they secrete in the glands on the top of
their heads. This “milk” or pollen mush is what we call Royal Jelly.
Royal Jelly is fed exclusively to the
Queen Bee, which originally was an ordinary female bee, but because of her diet
became twice the size of her subjects and grew without pollen baskets, honey
stomach, or wax glands. Instead, she grows a larger abdomen which projects
far out behind her and acquires a terrific stinger. This Queen Bee lives
forty times longer than the ordinary bee and is capable of laying as many as
2,000 eggs a day weighing 2½ times more than she!!
I have used Royal Jelly with my clients
in place of individual supplements of Pantothenic Acid, Niacin, Biotin, and
Folic acid, as we have found Royal Jelly to contain al of these naturally.
Before measuring for the amount of
Royal Jelly, I usually measure my client’s Bee Pollen first, and then drop an
estimated number of Royal Jelly caps into the hand while they are still holding
the Bee Pollen. The two contain some of the same nutrients so should be
checked together to find out how much can be handled together, so as not to
overdose them.
When you have found the correct amount
of Bee Pollen needed, add some Royal Jelly capsules while the person is still
holding the Bee Pollen. Have them hold this hand to the solar plexus while
extending opposite arm to be pumped. Experiment with the amount of Royal
Jelly in hand, adding or subtracting from the amount until you have found the
amount that makes the extended opposite arm strongest when pumped. This
will show you the correct amount of Royal Jelly needed at this time, and that it
can be handled with the Bee Pollen.
I have found that by using Royal Jelly,
instead of the manufactured individual Pantothenic acid or Niacin pills, that
the absorption factor is greatly hastened. I have had clients who at first
testing need as much as 9 x 1,000 mg. Of Pantothenic acid; after 3 weeks on a
program including Royal Jelly their need for Pantothenic acid decreased to 25
mg.! This also arrests a citrus allergy, strengthening the adrenal glands,
and also causing positive behavior modification (usually noticed by the friends
and companions of our clients!). It would have taken months to achieve
this level if we had been using individually manufactured Pantothenic acid
pills. This also applies to Niacin, which is also contained in Royal
Jelly.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has given the following quantitative analysis on 1 gram of Royal Jelly:
Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine), 1.5 to 7.4 micrograms
Vitamin
B-2 (Riboflavin), 5.3 to 10.0 micrograms
Vitamin B-6
(Pyridoxine), 2.2 to 10.2 micrograms
Niacin
(Nicotinic Acid), 91.0 to 149.0 micrograms
Pantothenic
Acid, 65.0 to 200.0 micrograms
Biotin, 0.9
to 3.7 micrograms
Inositol,
78.0 to 150.0 micrograms
Folic Acid,
0.16 to 0.50 micrograms
Vitamin C, a
trace
Vitamin E,
none
Recently in France, research workers reported having isolated Vitamin E in the jelly. The discrepancy between the French and the American studies seems to show that the quality of Royal Jelly probably varies from hive to hive and from location to location depending on the pollen.
