Nabat learned about low-level laser therapy after being treated in Canada for his nicotine addiction. Amazed at the ease of kicking his cigarette smoking habit, Nabat has turned into a “LASER-PRENEUR” and dedicated himself to establishing Freedom Laser Therapy Clinics around the United States. The entire Freedom Laser Therapy staff is dedicated to freeing the world from nicotine addiction. (www.ambitiousideas.com)
In May 2003, an Institutional Review Board (IRB) authorized investigational clinical trials using low-level laser therapy in compliance with FDA regulations. Clinical trials are being set up to measure the safety and effectiveness of low-level laser therapy to treat nicotine addiction. The IRB is an organization chartered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to oversee clinical trials, which collect data on new medical treatments. Institutional Review Boards exist to ensure the rights of human study subjects protecting them by being in accordance with FDA guidelines; all treatments being offered must be safe, as well as ethical. The FDA has already ruled low-level laser therapy as a “non-significant risk” and the US investigational trials are being funded through patient participation. Freedom Laser Therapy is the first full-scale nicotine addiction based clinic participating in this research study to test the efficacy of low-level laser therapy for smoking cessation.
Low-level laser therapy works on a specific energy points along the body’s central nervous system. Low-laser therapy is considered a highly effective modern form of acupuncture. A soft laser light is used to stimulate specific energy points relating to addiction in the ears, face, and hands. When the laser makes contact with the body’s various energy points, a person experiences a feeling of relaxation and a state of well being, as well as a boost to their metabolism, combating the common occurrence of weight gain often associated with quitting smoking.
For the past 30 years, this specific procedure in treating nicotine addiction has been available in Europe and Canada. After decades of use in these other countries, the treatment has been proven successful in treating smokers and other substance abusers, as well as those suffering from eating disorders. International practitioners of low-level laser therapy have also documented amazing recovery results as high as 85% with alcohol, cocaine, and heroin addictions.
Treatment with a laser helps to promote the release of endorphins in the body. Endorphins are the body’s natural chemicals, which help keep a person calm and relaxed, making it significantly easier to cope with withdrawal symptoms and cravings that arise from giving up nicotine.
Low-level laser therapy mimics a similar type of endorphin release in the body, which a person receives from smoking cigarettes. After laser therapy treatment is administered, the client will lose almost all physical urges to smoke. This is the marriage of two great technologies, the ancient form of Chinese acupuncture and the modern form of a laser.
The 30-minute treatment includes education on nicotine addiction, advice on coping with cravings and withdrawal, nutritional recommendations, a vitamin detoxification regimen, and detailed instructions on how to maintain a nicotine free lifestyle.
Freedom Laser Therapy, Inc. is the first full scale addiction based clinic in the United States to legally treat nicotine addiction with low-level laser therapy under IRB investigational trials. Presently, Freedom Laser Therapy has clinics operating in Santa Monica, California and Royal Oak, Michigan. In the upcoming year, clinics are scheduled to open in New York, Chicago, and Scottsdale.
