Cold Laser Acupuncture
About two years ago, I first heard of the now so popular smoking cessation treatment called Cold Laser Acupuncture.
A customer from Boca Raton, FL, had purchased my "How to Quit Smoking Without Willpower or Struggle" book from me. In the Comments box of the order page, she’d written that she’d undergone the cold laser treatment, but was still smoking “a little”. She thought that my system could get her across her goal line, as she was still smoking, albeit far less than she had been.
I wrote back to her immediately, asking what the name of the clinic was, and how I might contact them. She replied with the information.
I did contact them, and they made me aware that there was already such a clinic that had just opened up in Las Vegas, Nevada, very near to where I was living at that time.
I went to the clinic, called New Beginnings, and spoke with Nancy, who together with her husband, had opened the clinic only a few months prior.
She told me that they were claiming an 86% success rate. I believed that to be rather remarkable. She also made me aware that, at $299 per twenty-minute treatment, they were earning several thousand dollars per day with their system. I also found that to be rather remarkable. I loved the idea of helping people quit smoking and getting amply rewarded for the work.
I read the literature. It said, "The laser technician uses a "cold" laser beam to target energy points on the body. Focusing the laser beam on these areas causes the body to release natural chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins have a calming, relaxing effect on the body that helps to reduce nicotine craving and withdrawal symptoms. Some laser therapy clients report a feeling of euphoria following a smoking cessation treatment with the laser. In addition to stimulating an endorphin release, the laser stimulates the body's natural ability to detoxify the nicotine, getting the ex-smoker through the nicotine withdrawal more quickly."
It sounded great to me. I asked how I might get such a franchise where I was then moving, out in Pahrump, Nevada, fifty or so miles west of Las Vegas. She told me that she’d be very willing to help me with that, and that the company from where she’d purchased her franchise charged $25,000.
I thought that to be worth it, if indeed it did what she said, and I could make the money back in the first few months. I prepared to buy a franchise.
When I had the money free, I went back to Nancy, only to find that the price had now jumped to $50,000. I could not raise that much more money quickly.
Back in Pahrump, I began telling every smoker who’d listen about Nancy’s New Beginnings. Ultimately, two of those I'd spoken to gathered five more, and the seven people got together, went to Las Vegas, and paid the $299 for the treatment.
I got word a few days later that ALL of them were back to smoking; two the next day, the rest by the end of a week.
That doesn’t sound like 86% success to me. Does it to you?
Sure glad I didn’t spend the $50,000, plus the setup and rent. Apparently three more entrepreneurs have. I hear their ads on the radio and see them on the television frequently. There's even one here now in Pahrump.
