Toxins to Avoid

Beware of Canola Oil  By Warren King L.Ac. I have checked the compatibility of canola oil on thousands of patients and have found that in around 90% of people it shows to damage the liver. This is very concerning since within the last two years practically every prepared food product, even in ‘health food’ stores now use this cheap and unhealthy oil. The following is an article that I found on the Internet describing the dangers of this oil. --- Canola oil is derived from the mustard family and is considered a toxic and poisonous weed, which when processed, becomes rancid very quickly. It has been shown to cause lung cancer (Wall Street Journal, 6/7/95). It is very inexpensive to grow and harvest. Insects won’t eat it. Some typical and...

Sweet Vegetable Drink Sweet vegetables provide a readily available source of complex carbohydrates that can help relieve the symptoms of hypoglycemia, including fatigue, anxiety, the craving for sweets, and a diminishing appetite for sex. They may be eaten regularly in the diet, or taken in the more concentrated form of sweet vegetable drink. This drink is also good for softening tightness caused by heavy animal food consumption and for relaxing the body and muscles. Use equal amounts of four sweet vegetables, finely chopped (onions, carrots, cabbage and sweet winter squash). Boil 4 times the amount of water and allow to boil for two to three minutes. Reduce flame to low, cover and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. You may strain the vegetables from the broth (and use them...

Kuzu: A Home Remedy for Winter This alkalizing yangizing drink can be used for many conditions.

Try it after Thanksgiving dinner! The first thing I would take for signs of a cold or flu, or after vomiting, diarrhea, acid indigestion or stomach upset. (as long as not caused by excess salty foods, in which case hot apple juice and kuzu would be better). It is useful when...

Study on Food Sensitivities in Children by Warren King L.Ac. Dear Parents, Thank you for allowing your child to participate in this study on food sensitivities which I think can potentially help millions of children in America. Enclosed you will find both the result of you own child’s food sensitivities as well as the averages on each food for the 10 children in the study (see chart at bottom for averages.) It was not my intent to specifically have your children change their diets, but since you requested the results you will have to wrestle with your own response. Unfortunately the American diet has degenerated to such an extent that foods that were considered occasional treats or were not considered foods at all are now the staples in our modern...
