17.6% of Spaniards smoke, I suspect that should be 17.6% of Spaniards admit to smoking unless that 17.6% all live in my village.

Bioresonance? A complete detox? I smell placebo B.S. People stop when they WANT to stop. Until that genuine desire, all the props in the world won’t help. And that’s all this is, a prop. Get some cojones people, and wrestle that nicotine demon to the floor under your own steam. You know it makes sense….

I know quite a few people that have given up using Bioresonance. Including myself. It’s a shame that people aren’t more open minded about such things. If all humans were like that then we’d still be in the stone age.

This IS the sort of voodoo that people in the stone age practised. We’ve come a long way since then. Or have we? They may have given up smoking AFTER “bioresonance” but not BECAUSE of it.

Jan Setch: Well done for kicking the stinkweed. But are you still on the plastic fantastics? That nicotine grips like a bear trap. Never mind, anything is better than actually smoking.

Some 8 or 9 years ago my wife told me she was going for this treatment. Like a good few people here my initial reaction was that it had to be a con and she was throwing her money away. My wife went, had the treatment and hasn’t smoked since. I don’t know or care if it is science or ju-ju; it works!

Well spoken Bill. I think that’s a far more mature view than simply dismissing it as “placebo B.S”. When I had it done, it did in deed seem to remove the addiction.

Great news Bill. Was your wife Alice ?
It sure does work as I see it time and time again and it worked for me and my husband after trying everything else to stop

Just what is the science behind this “miracle” process? Is there anything physical going on, or is it all in the mind? If the latter, fine, placebo is an extremely powerful force, anything that convinces people to stop smoking is to be applauded and just because people KNOW it’s a placebo doesn’t stop it working. But let’s face it, the only “ology” here, begins with “kid”.

All the anecdotes in the world mean nothing. The only possible way to ‘prove’ this theory is by a placebo controlled, blinded trial. If the people pushing this treatment really believed that it worked they would have done this. Have they?

It doesn´t matter how many sock puppets pop up here and pretend that “bioresonance therapy” cured their smoking addiction, it´s still a fraud and a scam. As Mike Linnell, from drugs charity Lifeline, said; “the ‘scientific’ explanation of this ‘treatment’ belongs in an episode of Doctor Who.”

Knocking down these new health scams that pop up every year is like playing “whack-a-mole”.
