Former 30-a-day cigarette smoker Richard Jephcott has helped launch a new service for people who want to quit smoking after undergoing revolutionary new treatment.

Richard, of Meir Heath, Staffordshire, tried numerous times to kick his smoking addiction before turning to bio resonance treatment.

Now he has launched the Brampton Bio Resonance Clinic in partnership with his brother-in-law James Evans, a well known Newcastle-under-Lyme based solicitor, and their wives, Sue Jephcott and Ros Evans.

Explained Richard: "I have been a smoker most of my life and have tried all kinds of ways to quit including acupuncture and hypnotherapy.

"I was surfing the internet for new ideas when I came across bio resonance.

"Naturally, I was sceptical but after undergoing treatment in Manchester in June 2008 I haven't smoked a cigarette and all my cravings have gone. I just wish I had discovered Bio-Resonance treatment years ago."The Brampton Bio Resonance Clinic is the first of its kind in Staffordshire and Cheshire.

The one hour treatment process resets the body's waveforms, taking away the impulse to smoke. The treatment boasts a 90 per cent success rate.

James Evans said: "I hadn't considered investing in a business before other than my own solicitors' practice. "But, after seeing Richard give up years of addiction to cigarettes having received bio resonance treatment, I wanted to find out more."

The business based at Brampton House, Queen Street, Newcastle, employs two qualified therapists.

James added: "I am totally convinced that the treatment works. Everything the body does is governed by electric waveforms. The treatment, which is completely safe and painless, takes the toxic impulses created by an addiction to smoking and mirrors them so that the patient is left with clear waveforms and has no compulsion to smoke."
