I bought this book at a book signing, at the suggestion of a smoker friend who also quit smoking by using a combination of natural rememdies. I almost still can't believe how easy it was, and there was no withdrawal! Dr. Blomgren's book is exceptionally thorough in all the different natural methods a smoker has at his or her disposal and it was generally very easy to read and follow. What was seems especially important was to make some small, strategic shifts in diet in order to create the conditions for the body to eliminate nicotine extremely slowly and avoid withdrawal symptoms. Before this, I had tried drugs and but they weren't much better than the smoking. There are some sections that are pretty technical but the book was written for clinical people as well as the general population (and you can skip over whatever doesn't apply to your own situation). I was impressed with how well researched the book was and Dr. Blomgren's ability to make difficult concepts very easy to understand. I look forward to his next book which presents the ideas of using naturopathic methods, but for children! This book is highly recommended to all smokers!!!

I'm a nurse and I am embarrassed to say that I was a smoker. I was a little taken aback at first by the size of this book but relaxed and got into it because of the author's down-to-earth language. If there is any way to quit smoking that's not in this book, I would be very surprised! Dr. Blumgren offers every conceivable method of quitting tobacco--acupuncture, hypnosis, herbal products etc. (and which ones you should avoid) and backs it up with scientific studies that show you in black and white what really works and why it works. I was smoking two packs a day before. I tried two methods together and stopped smoking after 13 days. That was two months ago. No cravings and very easy! Thank you, Dr. Blumgren!
