Westport’s Dr. Patrick Guerin has introduced the Acu-Thin Weight Loss System to his practice. The program is based on the principle of auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture) used to decrease the desire for food. It can be done with or without needles. For several years this program has been shown to be effective without increasing exercise or involving extreme changes in diet. Results are usually noticed quickly, and loss of appetite can be felt immediately. At the end of each weekly visit, the doctor applies Acu-Thin Pressure Point patches, greatly magnifying the effect. During the week, Acu-Thin can also be applied at home without needles by use of the Acu-Thin Pen, a piezo electric device which emits a small charge, stimulating the ear points. In combination with minimal herbal and nutritional support, “Hunger stops and weight drops, almost like magic,” says Dr. Guerin. Even after one treatment, Acu-Thin users can usually feel the difference. Whether it is to lose the last five pounds or the first fifty pounds, Acu-Thin helps make it easier without hunger and cravings.
