HOLISTIC APPROACH
TO RECOVERY
QuitVape is an independent not-for profit initiative, and can complement other cost effective strategies. For example, Quit is a Queensland Health initiative providing a range of free supports such as counseling & nicotine replacement: 137848
The Quit Vape initiate is about identifying & measuring toxins absorbed in the body. Understanding how these interact with an individual's biochemistry is a targeted approach to healing.
Toxins & high strength nicotine constitute physical trauma to your nervous system, & can make other stresses in life more difficult to deal with, This may explain the connection between between vaping and mental health, although other health risks associated with vaping are very concerning
Quit Vape is an individualised approach to measure where you are at now, & progress throughout the recovery journey. This approach maximises potential for healing through multiple supports.
1.
Hair Mineral Analysis
We send a small amount of your hair to be tested at a lab specialised in targeted nutrition to determine toxin exposure & biochemistry.
The lab compiles a report to explain your mineral/heavy metal ratios along with diet recommendations to improve health & wellbeing.
Hair tests provide a guide of what the body is eliminating and is used as a tool to advise dietary requirements.
2.
Nutritional Detox Plan
Based on individualised biochemistry levels, your nutritional lab report will recommend::
* Unprocessed natural foods that maximise digestion efficiency & what to avoid, for correcting imbalances / improving efficiency for toxic elimination.
* Strategies to support metabolic rate, energy levels, & stage of stress, Not all food types may be suitable for where you are at now.
Self-Regulation Support
3.
Breathing necklaces have been useful for some to break the hand to mouth behaviour with vaping & curb negative withdrawal symptoms.
This self-administered behavior modification tool helps regulate emotions through breathing
Straw breathing, slows down heart, is helpful for anxiety. & irritability.
Access to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) supports to help with craving & withdrawal symptoms. DATS also provide education with how to self-administer other calming techniques.
4.
Measure Progress
Hair analysis is repeated after a few months to track your progress. The recommended diet is expected to change as biochemistry balances,
This will be used to track how your body naturally rebalances & can go up and down as the body releases toxins stored in body tissues. .
Foods that antagonize your system hinder the natural healing and elimination process, so staying away from processed foods help. At the very least, eating foods conducive to oxidation rate make the process relatively stress free.
"Hair tissue mineral analysis is used around the world for biological monitoring of trace elements & toxic metals in humans... it provides information about the mineral activity in the hair that took place over the past three to four months, depending on the rate of hair growth... Individualised test interpretation include information related to metabolic rate, energy levels, autonomic balance, a personal dietary supplement program, & basic diet recommendations".
Analytical Research Labs have been conducting hair mineral analysis for over 45 years. Hair samples are sent to the US for participants who want to use targeted nutrition recovery,. If requested, a local laboratory provides testing services for measurement purposes only.
QuitVape Supports
If you are already signed up for ongoing supports, or would like to be, these services are provided free of charge. Please get in touch if you'd like to explore other options to measure toxic exposure and recovery if you do not want the nutritional plan included. The US based lab was chosen due to prior experience healing from an autoimmune disease as a teenager, and known to provide consistent results as reported in peer review literature. Local options are available.
