An easy to learn acupressure technique could curb the tobacco-related death toll. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) addresses the root of cigarette addictions, believed to be unresolved emotional issues. Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, explains, “In my experience working with smokers for more than a decade, they use cigarettes to tranquilize emotions. But conventional smoking cessations programs do not address smoking addictions at the emotional level.”EFT claims an 80% success rate in reducing these emotional issues and a curbing of addictive urges are the frequent result.

Tobacco is responsible for an estimated 100 million deaths since 1900. According to John Seffrin, chief executive officer of the ACS, reducing tobacco use would have the single largest effect on global cancer rates.“Despite dire warnings that more than half of current smokers will die, only 16% of smokers quit successfully using conventional methods,” says Craig. “In my experience, this is because emotional healing is not addressed in smoking cessation programs. When smokers use EFT to address depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, grief, and fear – the emotional drivers that fuel their cigarette addiction - their need to self-tranquilize diminishes. We also use EFT to minimize the discomfort, and the tendency to overeat that can be associated with cigarette withdrawal.”According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, sponsor of the world’s most visited natural health website “Researchers are actually documenting neurochemical effects which support the concept that cigarettes may actually be a drug that smokers are using to treat their underlying chronic anxiety and depression.“One of the best routes to quitting smoking is through complete abstinence,” says Dr. Mercola. “This means cold turkey and not gradual reduction. But that can be tough for anyone. That's why I recommend using energy psychology tools. I find Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), to be highly effective.” Dr. Mercola has been using EFT successfully since 2001 to help his patients quit smoking and adhere to healthier lifestyle choices.Dr. Inci Erkin, a medical doctor in Turkey, worked with a patient who was a heavy smoker, unable to quit. While doing EFT together, Dr. Erkin’s patient realized that his heavy smoking was emotionally linked to his father’s death from respiratory problems. He remembered being at his father’s deathbed, and despite his desire to kiss his father goodbye, he was repulsed that his father smelled like an ashtray. Nicotine was escaping from his father’s pores and the smell made him nauseous. He ran from the room without a proper goodbye. He smoked heavily for the next ten years.According to Dr. Erkin, “Thus being a heavy smoker and smelling badly, was a way of punishing himself.”Having identified the core emotional issue driving his cigarette addiction, Dr. Erkin worked with her patient using EFT. “It took us about 90 minutes in one session and he quit smoking right then - throwing his last pack in the garbage box. What is most important, however, is that he now feels good because he got over that feeling of guilt, which he did not recognize before, but was disturbing him at a subconscious level.”Anybody can learn to use EFT to eliminate cigarette cravings and even to quit smoking entirely. Gary Craig explains, “Smokers generally expect to fail when they set out to quit. But when they use EFT, most experience an instant reduction in their cigarette craving. Their level of hope increases as their cravings decrease. If they persistently use EFT to address the emotional component of their addiction, they are likely to have a high success rate.”If smoking cessation programs incorporated the proper use of EFT, Craig predicts that their success rate would be about between 50 and 80 percent - instead of the current 84% failure rate.Over 325,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month.

Standardized tests are a fact of life in elementary school, high school, and college, and employment application tests are a fact of life in the job market. Most test-takers feel some anxiety before exams, but for many, tests are serious stumbling blocks. No matter how prepared they are or how hard they study, their minds go blank.Now a simple do-it-yourself acupressure tapping technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is being used by students and job applicants around the world to reduce and even eliminate test anxiety before and during exams and job interviews. The procedure takes just a few minutes, and its practitioners claim an 80-percent success rate. EFT is fully explained in a free manual that can be downloaded from www.eft-emotionalfreedomtechnique.com Psychologists and counselors who treat students and the public for panic attacks say that test anxiety can have as many symptoms as a physical illness, including headaches, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, hot flashes, cold sweats, shortness of breath, rapid heart beat, dry mouth, dizziness, and even fainting spells.The most widely used methods for treating test anxiety include preparation, practice, developing good study habits, remembering to eat, sleep, and exercise on a normal schedule, maintaining a positive attitude, and learning relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation.“All of these can make a difference,” says Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, “but when someone feels anxious, his or her sympathetic nervous system is firing off, producing the rapid pulse, sweating, and other symptoms that are associated with test anxiety. I think this shunts blood away from the frontal lobes of the brain, which is where much of our thinking, processing, and test-taking ability comes from. In an exam or interview situation, this is a problem“EFT works by restoring the body’s flow of energy and blood circulation. This brings people back to the physiological state they were in when they learned the material in the first place. The theory of state-dependent learning says that people are able to retrieve information easier if they are in the same state as they were when they learned it. If you were calm and relaxed while studying, it’s difficult to retrieve information when you’re in a state of panic. EFT quickly restores you to the ideal place for state-dependent learning to work.”Even though EFT is a new technique, it has an impressive track record in treating performance anxiety triggered by everything from SAT tests and college boards to athletic performance.Over 300,000 have downloaded the free EFT manual from emofree.com and an additional 10,000 download it every week. The manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.
Between first-tee jitters, the yips, swing faults, and other distractions, golf can be more frustrating than enjoyable. But Ohio golf coach Stephen Ladd shows golfers how to use EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, to tap on key acupressure points while focusing on golf problems and their scores improve, usually within minutes. In his office or on the putting greens of four local courses, Ladd shows amateurs and professionals how to eliminate stress, anxiety, and poor swing habits.“Most golfers never reach their true potential,” he says. “Traditional positive thinking programs simply do not help, and practice does not make perfect -- in fact, practice often makes things worse. But by using EFT, golfers at every level can leave those problems behind, eliminate fear and doubt, and never choke again, ever.”Ladd recently asked clients to rate their results. “Of the 103 golfers who did so,” he says, “59 reported excellent results, 32 had good results, 10 reported fair results, and only 2 had disappointing results.”According to Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, these outcomes are in keeping with the technique’s success rate in all aspects of sports performance as well as the treatment of stress, anxiety, and physical problems. “We’ve been tracking EFT’s results for the last 10 years,” says Craig, “and most practitioners report that over 80 percent of those who try it experience significant improvement.”In golf, says Ladd, the most meaningful improvement is a reduction of the player’s handicap. “I asked my golfers for their average round before and after learning and applying EFT,” he says. “Of the 31 golfers who supplied these statistics, all (100 percent) reported improvement, and their improvements averaged 36 percent. A few reduced their handicaps by as much as 55 to 75 percent.”EFT was originally developed to address problems such as stress and anxiety, which are key factors in sports performance. PGA Teaching Professional Dave Proffitt of London, Ohio, says, “My putting was he only thing keeping me from winning several PGA Teaching Professional events. I could sink them all day on the practice green, but never in the big tournaments. My playing partners expected me to reach the par fives in two, but then hang on for par. EFT took care of that in short order. Imagine their surprise when I started draining eagle putts!”For dozens of cases in which EFT improved the performance of athletes, see EMOFREE Articles.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- The American Diabetes Association (ADA) president challenged medical doctors to improve type 2 diabetes care. Recent findings show that incidence of diabetes has doubled in the past 30 years and researchers blame unhealthy lifestyle factors for this epidemic and warn that diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) agrees that diseases like diabetes are a result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. “However, conventional medicine does not address the reasons why people become trapped in a cycle of making unhealthy choices,” says Craig. “According to EFT theory, people overindulge in junk food, soft drinks and the like in an effort to tranquilize unresolved stress and negative emotions.” EFT claims an 80% success rate in reducing these emotional issues and improved physical symptoms are the frequent result.

Robert Rizza, MD, ADA President of Medicine and Science calls for optimal care of diabetes patients which would include maintaining stable blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, reducing body fat and not smoking. In order to achieve these healthier levels, Dr. Rizza proposes that diabetic patients take a once-daily “polypill”, a compound that would contain drugs to lower blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and aspirin to reduce risk of heart attack and stroke.Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, uses EFT in his medical practice. Dr. Robins issues his own challenge to medical doctors. "While the medical establishment sounds an alarm about the billion dollar implications of diseases like diabetes, I invite other medical doctors to look at treating the cause of the problem rather than the effect. The main lifestyle contributors to diabetes include, 1) eating too much of the wrong types of foods, 2) not exercising enough, 3) stress. EFT can be effectively used on all of these types of problems, and will empower those patients who want to take a more active role in their healthcare."This one simple technique helps people conquer food cravings and increase their motivation to exercise. According to Gary Craig, “EFT may be the world’s fastest-growing self-help technique because people are getting results where nothing else has worked. It is a first-rate stress reduction technique that often lowers blood sugar and blood pressure levels, and addresses unhealthy cholesterol levels.”EFT involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the issue in question. Based on the principles of acupuncture, EFT balances the body’s disrupted energy meridian system (Chi or Qi). Following EFT, the body’s stress response no longer manifests as abnormal blood sugar levels.ADA President Dr. Rizza is distressed by the epidemic incidence of diabetes. "Our health-care system and our nation's economy cannot tolerate one in three people having diabetes. It requires a concerted effort by our health-care system, by our government, by all parts of society to realize that this epidemic is endangering not only all the people alive, but our children and our children's children," said Rizza.Gary Craig says, “My EFT Practitioners and I represent a part of society that is focused on improving access to a low cost self help technique that has no known side effects and has an 80% success rate. I believe that the nation’s economy and health care system would be well served by treating the true cause of disease with EFT. Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes and my conservative estimate is that EFT could materially improve symptoms and risk factors for 60% of those patients.”Over 300,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month.
