All addictions including food, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, money, sex and shopping have similar roots.  Therefore, the treatment protocol is similar for all of them.

There are physical, emotional and psychological dependence issues at play.  A combination of the NADA  acupuncture protocol and constitutional 5 Element acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine is the most effective strategy for coming to grips with these issues. The treatment strategy requires frequent visits (2-3 per week) for 6 weeks.  It requires commitment on the part of the addicted.  I can’t make you quit if you don’t want to, although I can be of significant help.  I have had helped people with all of the above addictions.

How does acupuncture work?  Acupuncture produces an endorphin response (runner’s high) in the body.  This allows one to remain calm and get to the next thought.  Like anything mastered, it requires practice and patience.

We will delve into the background of the behavior, how it serves or no longer serves you, how it makes you feel. What are you going to trade up for?  I want to help you to quit your addictive behavior!  Your time and mine are valuable.  The addiction is often costly to you both financially and socially.  I create a package deal to support your necessary involvement.  You know yourself, if you want something bad enough you will find a way to make it happen!
