Curing addiction can be accomplished in a number of different ways.

1. Rehabilitation Using the Bio-Physical Method
   Harmful toxins, like nicotine and other drugs, are stored in the fatty tissue of the body as a method of getting the drugs out of the blood stream. These stored toxins can reside in the tissue for as long as six to seven years. The problem with this is that after an addict makes an effort to quit his habit, the toxins are released into the blood stream creating cravings, depression or even drug experiences.
   Using a sauna to purge the drugs from an addict's body is part of the bio-physical method. This method is not used with other replacement drugs but only uses vitamins, exercise and good nutrition to help the addict have a much better chance of beating their addiction. The body is able to restore much faster to its natural state using this method of rehabilitation. Programs using this method have a success rate of over 80%.

   Any method of drug rehab that gives addicts anti-depressants or other legal drugs is simply replacing one drug with another and is not considered to be a good addiction rehabilitaion program. With the added suicide warning associated with anti-depressants these rehabilitation programs often worsen the problem. Replacement therapy has a low success rate with smokersw.
