When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.
  - Eric Hoffer 
 
"You are either a contrarian, or you are a victim," says our old friend
Rick Rule. Rick is thinking of the natural resource markets, where crowd following is always fatal.

But the idea applies to many other things. You do what everyone else does and you get what everyone else gets. If that is what you want, then by all means, just think what your neighbours think and do what they do. In general, you won't do any better...or any worse.
- Bill Bonner at the Daily Reckoning 
 
 
The Hazards of Mercury
 
One area where you definitely do not want to imitate other people is letting your dentist put mercury in your mouth.

Christmas is coming! 
 
Just a little plea to anyone who didn't do all their Christmas shopping in April, if you care about the people you are buying presents for, steer clear of perfumes, aftershaves and synthetic-containing bathroom products. More information ....
 
There are plenty of safe alternatives.

Did you know that synthetic scents cause no change on EEG readings of brain waves. Natural scents do because natural scents change the way you feel. So the way to someone's heart and emotions is not through "impulse" it's through sandalwood, or lavender or any other natural scent.
 
Look for organic and natural products. You'll be saving the environment as well as helping those you love and care about feel better without poisoning themselves.
 
Proprioceptive Medicine is spreading around the world
 
This note in from South Africa 

Hi Simon,

I've managed to track you down from the depths of darkest Africa! Hope this finds you happy and well?

There's not a day that goes by that I don't recall the sessions we had with you in Nottingham and the course that you gave which revolutionised the way I practiced and the way I viewed the function of the human body!

I've been a part time lecturer at the University of Johannesburg for the past 2 years and have given them a little insight into your work - most of them are completely blown away - the best bit is that there is plenty more to come.........

I can't thank you enough for the profound effect that you had on me and the way that I practice and strive to get a better understanding of how aberrant proprioception has such a marked effect on the body. My current passion is the treatment of active scars - phenomenal!!

Natural food for Cats and Dogs
Do you buy cat food for your cat and dog food for your dog? Of course you do! Doesn't everybody?
 
Did you ever stop to think that canned meat probably wouldn't last very long if it wasn't sterilized? Sterilized means cooked! The next question is the killer. Do you think dogs and cats evolved (or were created) to eat raw meat? Do you think that maybe they would be better off eating raw food, they way they would in Nature? 
 
Well I certainly did and by happy co-incidence I found out that cat food was not only toxic to the cats, it was toxic to me as well and caused me horrendous cat allergies and other symptoms.
 
So did these people: 
 
Everyone's a winner!
After 3 months on raw meaty bones, fruit and veg (the two dogs and cat that is), we are all feeling a lot healthier and fitter
 
I went to see Simon hoping if he could improve my overall wellness. I have had chronic asthma for the last 13 years, requiring a steroid inhaler twice daily. Simon did his magic! Together we slowly improved my overall health with vitamins, removing  toxic products from my beauty regime replacing them with organic products and testing for muscle weakness caused by some jewellery which I was wearing. 
 
We discussed raw, natural food for pets and the effect of modern, cereal- based pet foods. There is some evidence that the dander of pets (skin flakes) causes allergies like asthma and change the diet to that of raw food, helps the allergy----I thought 'yep, give it a go'
 
3 months on and the two dogs and cat have more energy, beautiful glossy coats and clean teeth ---and me?--- 2 or 3 days without the steroid inhaler and hoping to slowly extend that period. It is great to breath freely again and feel energetic --thanks Simon

And here's another patient giving his cats raw meat (no pet food)!
 
Cats are doing really well. They are even happier and content than before the change of diet. Their reflexes are ultra fast now, although the stream of dead birds has slowed down now, i guess we have less dumb birds and more smart birds in our garden?

The cats like slightly different food, with one preferring liver, the other preferring beef and chicken, but one things for sure they both absolutely love the raw meat diet. Don't forget when I started all this I said that I thought there was nothing wrong with the cats in the first place, but we can see how lively they are now compared to before.

Anyway, if I tell the truth, sod the cats, I care most about ME, and I'm healing fast now. This year has been a total health nightmare, with nothing seeming to make a significant difference...until now. Now that this toxin (from the cats) has been removed I feel GREAT! I have put on 3.5kg in 1 week (7.7 lbs), my lower back hurts much less and I can look forward to re-starting exercising again, hopefully in 2-4 weeks time, I have been unable to do any physical exercise for 1.5 years.

I am still going slowly slowly on re-introducing foods. So far NO reactions except deep joy!

This morning I ate one slice of whole grain brown toast with lashings of melted butter......ummmmm, steaming hot. Its been 8 months since I had any and god it tasted great;-)

Yesterday I ate one banana. Its been 4 months since I had a banana.

Pregnancy and Homeopathy

Homeopathy can help pregnancy in a simple, safe and natural way.

It helps pregnant women have a normal gestation period, by alleviating pregnancy related problems like morning nausea, vomiting, back pains, urine problems, constipation, pain and swelling in the lower limbs.

These are some of the few remedies I use for pregnancy related problems:

---Aconite--Fear during childbirth, either real or imaginary. She fears something is going to happen to the baby or herself. Childbirth delayed by fear.

---Caulophyllum--Difficult protracted labour. In first stage of labour it helps the rigid cervix to soften and dilate. In second stage it helps strong and consistent contractions. In third stage it assists in expulsion of placenta. Also helps in cases of protracted bleeding after childbirth.

---Cimcifuga--Useful in nausea and sleeplessness during pregnancy. For sharp pains across the abdomen. Cimcifuga along with Pulsatilla, also helps in threatened miscarriage in the third month of pregnancy. Helps to ease the childbirth at the time of delivery. In post natal period helps in after pains and groin pains.

---Staphisagria--Helps in pain and healing of episiotomy and caesarian incisions.

Other homeopathy remedies can help in pregnancy related constipation, piles, varicose veins, back aches, pelvic pains, urinary problems, and hosts of other pregnancy related problems. It also helps in breast feeding problems.

Homeopathy is safe for babies, infants and children when used judiciously.

They are prepared and given to the patients as per their constitution, after taking detailed homeopathy history, which can take about 45 minutes.

  Firewalk!
Anyone fancy a stroll in the moonlight? 
 
Then do join me (Simon) on the Firewalk for the the Hospice of St Francis at the Watermill Hotel in Bourne End on Thursday November 22nd at 6.00pm. Or come along to lend your support for the walk itself at 8.30pm.
 
I must admit to being a little nervous about this. I have done 2 firewalks before but the last one left me with severe burns and blisters the size of golf balls.

Expensive? Compared to what?
 
We had our first complaint about Simon King's new £90 first visit fee last week.
 
The gentleman complained that he didn't need a consultation, he knew exactly what was wrong with him (it was a "sports injury") and he just needed his back cracked.
 
When it became clear that he really didn't want to hear anything that conflicted with his now made-up mind, I had to inform him that there were plenty of skilled manipulators around who would crack his back without a consultation but that's not what we do here.
 
There is even a chiropractor on Youtube teaching people how to manipulate.
 
The trick with chiropractic is not the manipulation, it's knowing when to use it.  That's what the £90 is for. Most of the time the value is in finding the real cause behind the problem, not just clicking the joints, whether or not that will make it feel better. Temporary relief from a chiropractic (or any other sort of) treatment is just like taking an expensive aspirin.
 
Ninety pounds is a lot of money, I respect that. The question is, does it represent value?
 
Compared to £150-200 for a 15 minute consultation with an orthopaedic specialist who will tell you you need an MRI scan, physiotherapy or pain killers, it's very good value.
 
Compared to £480 for a Private Medical Health assessment which gives you blood tests to identify known diseases (for which you will be poisoned by drugs that don't work) and does nothing to make you healthier, it's great value.
 
Compared to £20,000 spent by a Private Medical Insurance Company for 2 lots of surgery for a patient who is no better than when she started, it's exceptional value. She still has the tingling in her hands which turned out to be a vitamin B12 deficiency and can be corrected with a couple of bottles of supplements.
 
We want to help everyone, but we want to do the best for them in the long term, not just for today.
 
If you know anyone who needs to feel better, get back to work or suffer less pain, tell them to  ring for an appointment or log onto our rapidly developing web site for more information.
