My dad is in his early 40′s and has had 3 heart attacks. He has had several cardiac cath’s done and 7 stents put in his heart to open up blockages. He continues to smoke and doesn’t do anything that the doctor suggest. He had another cardiac cath a few days ago and the doctor said his heart muscle is very week because of his previous heart attacks and it won’t get any stronger. It’s not helping that he still smokes. The docter said that due to the weak heart muscle there is a likely chance that he could just collapse one day and he recommended that he have a Automatic Internal Cardiac Defibrillator placed in his heart that will automatically shock it back in to a normal rhythm if needed. Why does he not seem to take these things seriously. I don’t know what to do. I want him to be around for awhile. But he has the ‘whatever happens attitude’.

I have varicose veins on my genitals but it also looks like something has burst or opened up, and is slightly painful. I was wondering if that was possible. I’ve been tested for everything at the beginning of my pregnancy, so it can’t be anything like that, was just wondering if anyone had any advice?

None of the quit smoking tips that are out there state anything but the obvious. That you need to set a quit date, that you need to avoid social situations that cause temptation to smoke, that you need lots of willpower etc. I find none of that helpful or reassuring.

Here are a few methods that look promising to me as they seem to require the least effort, unlike the plethora of quit smoking tips.

First there’s acupuncture, which is great if you don’t mind needles…
Secondly, there’s Hypnosis, which just entails relaxing and listening to someone hypnotize you.
Thirdly, there’s EFT which stands for emotional freedom technique and which consists of tapping certain points on the acupuncture meridians in a certain way and includes “set up phrases”.
Fourthly there’s Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which seems to have a very high success rate. You have to see a therapist regularly for this and it can be expensive.
And lastly, there’s NLP which is the new kid on the block as it is a relatively new therapy. NLP stands for neuro linguistic programming and claims to re-programme the brain. Apparently it is quite effective.

Ok so now I just need to choose one of the above and go for it – wish me luck!
