WARREN KING, L.AC.

 

Greeting Friends,

 

Do you know the root of the word Doctor doesnot mean healer but rather teacher. So I am getting inner direction to start doing more teaching. I will begin by sending out this newsletter more often.

I’ll share with you what I am learning by treating thousands of patients as well as what I am learning on the internet, in magazines, books, CD’s and continuing education. I’ll also pass on information that I’mgetting from my own intuition.

In my own life I have added silent meditation to my practice, and spend about 15 minutes every other day before bed in meditation. I also have enlisted the help of apersonal trainer and am really pushing myself with a work out about every other day. Not only do I feel more clear and energized, I feel I can hold more Light in my aura. So why don’t you give meditation and exercise a try!

-Warren

 

Symptom Suppression

In Japan there is a saying. “Where there is a front, there is a back. The bigger the front, the bigger the back.” Walk into any drug store or supermarket and you will find shelf after shelf of bottles for every symptom under the sun: headaches, pain, sleeping, allergies, congestion, coughs, skin eruptions, etc.. . Prescription drugs can even be more effective at suppressing symptoms than the over the counter drugs. That is the front, your symptom diminishes. Way down the line you may be diagnosed with cancer, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis or obesity. That is the back. The stronger and longer the suppression, the worse you may feel later on.

The body has an innate intelligence. It knows what is toxic and seeks to expel it from the body. A baby will get a rash, or runny nose. If suppressed with cortisone cream or anti-congestant, then the symptom may clear, but in a year, seemingly out of the blue they now have asthma. More cortisone and more antibiotics, then they have attention problems…more drugs. The body is never let to have a good fever to burn out toxins and bugs, due to aspirin. If suppressed enough the body will stop discharging toxins and start storing them away. The body has priorities, protect the main organs like the brain and heart, so it may stuff gunk into the gall bladder or uterus, which are often removed. Fat cells are a convenient place to store unwanted toxins. If the inside of the cells become toxic, then you may get auto-immune diseases or cancer.

After decades of suppression they may end up on my table. My forte is to be able to communicate with the intelligence of the body. I have many fine remedies that can open the elimination organs to start effectively eliminating toxins. Some homeopathics can even get inside the cells and help them eliminate things like mercury or lead. If you don’t open the doors (elimination organs like skin, intestines, kidneys and liver) first then you could feel worse before you feel better as the toxins are eliminated from the cells and organs. But I minimize this with a system called drainage (opening the elimination organs).

Toxins have often built up over years and decades, so healing proceeds like the peeling of an onion, in layers. Often after these layers of toxins are eliminated, we find at the core an emotional or spiritual blockage. When these are cleared, healing is mostly complete. We may add some items for rebuilding like vitamins, minerals or essential fatty acids. At this point the person is at a level of homeostasis and balance where they feel good. They know what foods help and hinder them and find their own limits. They have good emotional and spiritual hygiene, such as not holding on to grudges or not over giving.

It is so satisfying to work with people as they learn to truly heal at a deep level and regain their zest for life. We have this one body to work with in this life, so let’s make it as healthy as possible that it can be a dependable vehicle for our soul for as long as possible.

 

Taking Care of Your Adrenal Gland

We don’t often think about our adrenal glands, but having healthy adrenals is really a key for feeling well. These walnut sized glands sit atop our kidneys. They have a lot to do with controlling of other glands and hormones of the body. The outer layer or cortex produces hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, DHEA and cortisol. The central portion produces adrenaline, which is used in the fight or flight response.

Under stress your heart rate and blood pressure increase, your energy stores are ready for immediate use and your digestion slows. Your senses are also sharpened. This is healthy response to stress in an emergency. But in modern society stress can become an ongoing state of affairs. When we don’t get enough sleep, when there are financial pressures, relationship issues, and a reliance on caffeine and simple carbs for energy our adrenals can become fatigued.

In oriental medicine what we think of as adrenals was considered part of the kidney energy system. Symptoms of deficient kidneys are what you may consider as old age symptoms like graying or losing hair, weakening of bones or teeth, low back pain, memory loss, sleeping poorly, low sexual energy and sensitivity to cold.

It was thought that the kidney/adrenal energy could especially be healed during the winter. I’m concerned that with our lack of a real winter this year, the energy is not going deeper in the body to replenish the kidneys, like a tree trying to bud when it should be storing up nutrients in it’s roots.

Fear and anxiety are the emotions generated by an imbalanced kidney/ adrenal energy. But also being in a state of fear can weaken those organs.

A sauna can warm up the kidneys, as can a compress over the kidneys made of strong ginger tea. Silent meditation or mindfulness, just being in the present moment, without mental chatter, can be very useful in reducing stress.

There are many herbs that help the adrenals as well such as ginseng, schizandra, rhodiola, turmeric, astragalus, galanga and ginger. These are found in a product I often use called “Adrenal Balance”. Some foods that can help the kidneys are the high protein grain quinoa, burdock root, kale, azuki beans, tempeh, sea vegetables, green tea, olive oil, and miso soup. Try to enjoy what’s left of our deficient winter without kidney/adrenal deficiency.

Are You Mercury Toxic?

Mercury exposure and toxicity is a prevalent and significant public health threat. A well-established neurotoxin — a substance that is damaging to the brain and nervous system — mercury has been linked with brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and is potentially linked to autism.

Research shows that people with Alzheimer’s disease often have blood levels of mercury up to three times higher than people who are not suffering from the disease. In another study, researchers added small amounts of mercury to cultured neurons in a laboratory and found seven cell features that are used in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Once it makes its way into our bodies, mercury can be difficult to eliminate. The symptoms of mercury excess, according to neurologist, Dr. David Perlmutter, are similar to severe brain aging, because in a sense mercury is aging the brain. In his book, The Better Brain Book, Dr. Perlmutter states that “mercury does its dirty work by promoting free radical production and inflammation; this is the same process that causes normal brain degeneration, but mercury does it much faster.” Essentially, mercury exposure speeds the aging of the brain.

Infants are particularly vulnerable because they are unable to excrete mercury, so it accumulates in the brain cells, nerves, gut, and liver, and can cause the symptoms of poisoning.

Research links mercury exposure to heart arrhythmias and disorders. It has also been associated with neurological problems like tremors, insomnia, polyneuropathy (a degenerative disease of the nerves caused by toxins), paresthesias (prickling or tingling sensations of the nerves usually resulting from nerve damage), emotional instability or changeability, irritability, personality changes, headaches, weakness, blurred vision, dysarthria (difficulty communicating due to central nervous system disease), slowed mental response, and unsteady mobility.”

Symptoms of Mercury Excess:

• Allergic tendencies

• Confusion

• Convulsions

• Depression or uncontrollable crying

• Diabetes

• Difficulty chewing or swallowing

• Facial and back pain

• Fatigue

• Food cravings

• High blood pressure

• Inflamed gums

• Irritability

• Loss of ability to speak

• Loss of appetite

• Loss of self-confidence

• Memory loss

• Mental disturbances or personality changes

• Metallic taste in the mouth

• Poor memory

• Tremors or poor coordination

Of course, many of these symptoms can also be linked with other health conditions, so it is important to work with a qualified health professional. Conversely, it is possible to experience no symptoms of mercury toxicity. Typically, however, one or more of the above symptoms will be present.

Primary Sources of Mercury:

• Dental fillings (amalgam, or silver-looking fillings)

• Fish

• Immunizations

Mercury is emitted into the environment from coal-fired power plants, through medical waste incinerators, and trash incinerators. Once mercury makes its way into the air, it falls as rain into oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Bacteria in the water break the mercury down into an organic form called methyl mercury, which is highly toxic. We may ingest this mercury through our water supply or from the fish found in these mercury-laden waters.

A diet high in fish, especially halibut, king mackerel, shark, swordfish, tilefish, white albacore tuna (both canned and fresh), and farmed salmon, makes it easy to exceed the EPA’s allowable amount of mercury in the body. As a result, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning advising pregnant women not to eat the fish with the highest levels of mercury because of the potential harm to their fetuses. Fish typically containing the lowest levels of mercury include sardines, haddock, wild or Pacific salmon, and tilapia.

Food sources are not the only culprits. There are two other common sources of mercury. One of the worst sources of mercury sits right beneath your nose. All those silvery-metallic dental fillings known as amalgams in your mouth contain mercury.

In the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, Dr. Mercola and Dr. Klinghardt state that people with amalgam fillings exceed all occupational exposure allowances of mercury in all European and North American countries. Adults with four or more amalgams run a significant health risk from the amalgam, while in children, as few as two amalgams will contribute to health problems.

Mercury is used as a preservative, called thimerosal, in vaccines. Of the vaccines that still contain mercury, the flu vaccine is the biggest concern. About 80 percent of flu vaccines contain as much as 25 micrograms of mercury per dose. The Environmental Protection Agency’s safe limit for mercury exposure is 0.1 micrograms per kilogram, so only a 550-pound person could receive a flu vaccine and fall within the EPA’s safe exposure limits for mercury.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended in 2004 that infants and pregnant women should be vaccinated with the flu shot. Yet, when a pregnant woman is vaccinated with the flu shot, her unborn child receives several hundred times more mercury than U.S. federal agencies claim is safe for adults. Even the vaccine manufacturers who profit from the sale of flu shots state that the vaccine hasn’t been adequately tested.

The mouth is a very important part of the body. The electrical energies of the body goes through the teeth. If any substance in the teeth block the acupuncture meridians that end at the teeth it can throw off the body. Plus many dental materials are toxic and they are absorbed in the body and can create heath issues. Some materials such as mercury are so toxic they can cause severe illness and even early death. Often people I work with eventually have to have their mercury (called silver filling) out of their mouths, but it is important that will all the hastle and expense, you don’t replace it with some other material that is toxic to the body.

 Using the practice of Auricular Medicine and the pulse testing that goes with it I can if a dental substance is compatible with the body. I can test the filling materials, anesthetics, cements, glues, crown materials and denture materials. It is so worth finding what materials you body can handle before you have the dental work done.

I am extremely pleased with the results of my visits with Warren.  I may not have worked with Warren had I not gone to numerous doctors prior to seeing him.  I hope that by sharing this testimonial, many of you will be spared the cost and time of all those other treatments and work directly with Warren.

My arms and legs started itching uncontrollably four years ago.  Rarely did I have an actual rash on my skin, so doctors had difficulty diagnosing the cause just by looking at my skin.  I bought numerous creams, anti-itch medications, and soaking solutions that had no impact.  I went to an internal medicine doctor who sent me to have allergy tests and when nothing showed up, I went on to a dermatologist and hematologist for a lot of blood work.  We were about to do a spinal when I was introduced to Warren at the Woman’s Expo in Minneapolis in January of this year.  At my first appointment with him, he told me I’d be healthy within 6 months of working with him.  Those words were music to my ears after 4 years of waking up during the night because I scratched my arm till it bled.

Warren told me the metal fillings in my teeth were poisoning my body with mercury toxins.  He gave me the names of dentists who dealt with this and gave me homeopathic remedies to help clear out the toxins.  He also taught me how most lotions, perfumes, etc. do more harm to the skin than anything beneficial.  It took four dental visits to get all the metal fillings replaced, but within two weeks after the final replacements, the itching has completely disappeared.  It has now been two months of itch-free living and I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to benefit from Warren’s knowledge and skills.
