My son is day 10 on nicotine patch (7mg). And it is working!!!! We have tried all sorts of stuff. Supplements, acupuncture, nutrition response testing, microcurrent, PEMF, red light., functional chiropractor. I have spent thousands of dollars. The nicotine patches are the only thing that has helped. I plan to keep him on it for 14 or 30 days. I haven't decided yet. I want so badly for this to be permanent.
