NIC-ex SX1: Questions and Answers


HAT IS NIC-ex SX1?

NIC-ex SX1 is a unique scientifically engineered therapeutic anti-smoking device clinically proven to help people stop smoking within days. Developed after many years of research and testing, this miniature device is the newest generation of brain electric stimulation therapy. Electric stimulation therapy is based on the safe delivery of very low electric current to the brain under specific pre-determined conditions of current intensity, pulse frequency, polarity as well as duration of therapy. Experimental and clinical trials have proven that brain electric stimulation therapy is highly effective in treating such conditions as sleep disorders, pain and chemical addiction. In point of fact, the treatment of nicotine addiction (smoking) with electric stimulation therapy was reported to be particularly rapid, safe and effective and did not require any other form of anti-smoking support aids. NIC-ex SX1 is the ideal device that provides the necessary electric stimulation requirements for optimum and reliable anti-smoking results.

HOW IS NIC-ex SX1 USED?

NIC-ex SX1 is a compact therapeutic device designed for convenient, easy and immediate use by people of all ages without any prior experience and training by medical personnel. The user applies small electrodes behind each ear, simply switches on the device and adjusts the intensity of the low energy electric stimulus to the desirable perceptible level. On-off light indicators indicate the operational status of the therapeutic device. The device, once set, requires no further manipulation during the 4-day treatment period. It is worn safely, inconspicuously and confidently, day and night, and may be removed for a brief time during bathing. Full instructions for use and care of the device are clearly described and illustrated in the Treatment Booklet accompanying the complete Therapy Kit.

HOW DOES NIC-ex SX1 WORK?

NIC-ex SX1 works by electrically stimulating the brain to increase production of two important brain natural neurochemicals, namely, dopamine and endorphins. Nicotine increases the level of brain dopamine, the neurochemical that stimulates the brain’s “reward centre”. This stimulation by nicotine of this specialized “reward centre” is responsible for the “feeling of pleasure” a person experiences when smoking a cigarette. When a person is deprived of a cigarette or tries to quit smoking, brain nicotine levels rapidly and sharply decrease. This decrease, in turn, results in lowered brain dopamine levels which causes very distressing nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, irritability and intense craving for a cigarette (for nicotine). NIC-ex SX1 electrical stimulation acts by increasing brain dopamine levels, thereby restoring and sustaining the desired “feeling of pleasure”. The dopamine also reduces the intensity of or prevents many of the stressful nicotine withdrawal symptoms, particularly the craving, that drives smokers to keep smoking. NIC-ex SX1 further increases the brain production of the natural anti-pain neuro-chemical endorphins which act to significantly reduce both the stress of not smoking and the pain associated with smoking (nicotine) withdrawal.

IS THERE SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT NIC-ex SX1 WORKS?

Many scientific experimental research and clinical studies have been published during the past 40 years that have established the therapeutic success of electric stimulation treatment for a number of neurological conditions and states including chemical addiction. In a placebo-controlled clinical study recently completed at the University Hospital Zurich, NIC-ex SX1 proved to be a highly effective aid in helping people quit smoking. Three months after the 4-day treatment with NIC-ex SX1, the majority of the test persons were still non-smokers. Twenty-seven (27) chronic smokers on NIC-ex SX1 therapy, out of a total of 64 smokers, quit smoking almost immediately for the 6-month duration of the study, representing a success rate of 42%! The success rate in the NIC-ex SX1 group was higher than that seen in the placebo control group at all time periods recorded. The NIC-ex SX1 subjects reported significantly less frequent and less severe nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, anger, anxiety, hunger and, most importantly, less craving for cigarettes. This 42% 6-month success rate of the NIC-ex SX1 therapy was higher, in all instances, compared to that reported by the use of other smoking cessation methods as nicotine replacement (patch, 12-14%; gum, 17-19%) and the antidepressant ZYBAN (21-35%) at the same 6-month recorded time period.

HOW SAFE IS NIC-ex SX1?

NIC-ex SX1 is completely safe and free of any short-term and long-term adverse side effects that commonly occur with nicotine replacement and antidepressant smoking cessation treatments. NIC-ex SX1 is a very easy, drug-free, user-friendly device. The user feels, and only occasionally, a very slight but soothing tingling sensation during the treatment period. The device was awarded the CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark that appears on the product indicating that the device has met all safety standards that apply to all countries of the European Union (EU), is in compliance with all safety requirements of the International European Community (IEC) as well as signatory States of the European Economic Area (EEA). An independent Swiss quality control testing laboratory also has verified that NIC-ex SX1 meets all safety standards required for such products.

WHERE AND HOW DO I BUY NIC-ex SX1?
