Greetings and thank you for visiting my blog.

My name is John King and I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and researcher. Since 1992, I have been studying the factors that lead to chronic disease, premature aging and the general breakdown of health. I have always believed in the healing power of nature and that everything we need for health is already here on this planet, not manufactured in a test tube. I had my first real experience with healing through nutritional supplementation at 20, when I was in the military and shattered my left elbow in an accident. One month after having all the hardware that was holding my arm together removed, I went in for a follow up x-ray to check on my healing progress. When the doctor looked at the x-ray he said, “Very funny, now go have the correct arm x-rayed!” I assured him that what he was looking at was indeed an x-ray of my left arm. He was amazed as there was no trace of my arm having been broken. All the holes in my bones where the hardware had been were completely gone, a process that would take a least six months to a year, or so I was told. Since then I have been absolutely fascinated with the innate healing power of nature and the human body.

After I left the military, I pursued a career in the corporate world. Due to the stressful environment I was working in, I started to pick up some bad habits over time. I wasn’t exercising. My diet was atrocious and I was starting to enjoy the required entertaining of clients a little too much. Despite all this, I continued to take my supplements, which in retrospect is what saved me. Then in 1991, I was afflicted with a mysterious illness. I was in pretty bad shape and none of the doctors I went to see could figure out what was wrong with me. I could hardly get out of bed and I was in tremendous pain every day. My liver was damaged and I became highly allergic to almost everything. I realized that traditional allopathic medicine had no answers for me. So in an effort to save myself, I began my study of holistic medicine. Over time my health improved and it wasn’t until 12 years later that I discovered what had nearly killed me, Lyme Disease. I had been tested many times for Lyme but my immune system was so corrupted by the disease an accurate result was impossible. It was only through my own efforts that I recovered enough that my immune system could then recognize the disease and muster an appropriate immune response.

At the time, I didn’t realize that my journey was leading me to a whole new career helping others. I attended Clayton College of Natural Health and started my own holistic consulting practice in 2004. Since then I have been using my knowledge and intuition to help my clients recover from chronic illness and achieve optimum health. So when I write about something, it is not the view of an outsider, but that of someone with first hand experience with the challenges faced by those with a chronic illness. I hope the things I write about in this blog help you on your journey to optimum health.

 

Best in Health,
John
