"42.In this segment, we're going to do some acupuncture in both the ear as well as the arm to help stop smoking. So, as we do with all acupuncture, we want to swab the points first to make sure that they're properly sterilized. And then, we're going to use our single use filiform needles. So the treatment we're going to use in the ear is known as the NADA protocol. The NADA protocol was originally develop in Harlem for the stopping of heroin addiction. And it was used in combination with counseling and actually with some herbs. As research progress, they found that this treatment was actually effective for a variety of addictions, smoking included. So this first point is use for the sympathetic nervous system. We help to normalize the sympathetic and the para-sympathetic nervous system. That point is called Zhang Men and really helps to just handle stress and to normalize all the other points to create some balance. The next point is the kidney point, it gives us the will power in order to help fight our addictions. The next one is the liver point that helps with stress. And the last one on the ear is the lung point, and the lung point is obviously used for smoking because he's probably done a little bit of damage to his lung overtime. So, the last point is actually on the arm and it was found by accident, it turns out, it's known as the sweet point for stop smoking, it's really the only thing it's use for. So that one is located very close to a normal acupuncture point, it's actually on the lung meridian. So once we leave these points in for about twenty minutes or so, he's going to be very relax and hopefully when he gets up, he's not going to have any more cravings for smoking and with good stop smoking hygiene, he'll be smoke-free for the rest of his life."
