Dr. Frank King is president of King Bio, Inc., a pharmaceutical company that sells natural medicines not only to doctors and health-food stores, but also to major chains like Wal-Mart, Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy. Dr. King, who is both a Chiropractor and Naturopath, ran a very successful integrative health clinic with a team of doctors and medical support staff for about 10 years before establishing King Bio in 1989. He is author of The Healing Revolution: Eight Essentials to Awaken Abundant Life, Naturally.
QUESTIONS:
- What is THE HEALING REVOLUTION?
- The subtitle of your book is, “Eight Essentials to Awaken Abundant Life, Naturally.” What describes an abundant life, and how do we awaken it?
- Many people feel as if they have no power over their health, so they effectively embrace their sickness. How do you encourage people to overcome that kind of “victim mentality”?
- Tell an encouraging story about somebody you know who was able to take charge of his or her health, who turned from victim to victor.
- You encourage people, whenever possible, not to take a one-dimensional approach to health by only adopting one diet, one exercise routine or one lifestyle change. How does the Healing Revolution embrace a wholistic, integrative path to health?
- How does a multi-faceted, integrative approach to health mean people actually don’t have to work so hard? (You believe people can work smarter, not harder, don’t you?)
- Three of the most powerful words in your book, THE HEALING REVOLUTION, are “Desire, Believe and Become.” Explain the significance of those three words.
- You recently celebrated your 60th birthday, which you hope is your halfway point for a long and vibrant life. How many years is a good target figure to aim for?
- You were raised on a Midwestern farm, eating a fairly standard meat-and-potatoes diet. Where did you first develop the passion you have today for wild and natural foods?
- In addition to producing natural medicines, you also have a buffalo ranch called Carolina Bison. Why are you so passionate about these animals?
- You have said that a person’s body is their best doctor. What do you mean by that?
- What words of encouragement do you have for someone who is tired and run-down, who’s probably a few pounds overweight and is still reaching for that junk food or cigarette, but who wants to join THE HEALING REVOLUTION?
EXTRA QUESTIONS:
- Other than bison, what other wild and natural foods are you developing?
- Describe a long and vibrant life as you believe it should be, as opposed to the dreary picture of a crippled and sickly “old age.”
- What hope can you give people who have a strong genetic disposition toward chronic illness?
- What is the science of “epigenetics,” and what does it mean to change genetic expression?
You were a vegetarian for about six years, and through that experience you gained a deeper understanding of human diversity as related to diet. What did you learn from that?
- For people who might not be familiar with your King Bio natural medicines, describe how homeopathy works and what types of problems it helps resolve.
- Why is sunlight so essential for good health?
- How can pets and animals contribute to health and happiness?
- Tell about a time when you had a spontaneous opportunity to help someone heal, maybe in a restaurant or while traveling. (Follow-up question: Can normal people instigate those kinds of “healing moments,” or are they only for doctors like you?)
- Your integrative approach to health and happiness involves making life-affirming choices in eight areas of life that you call the Eight Essentials. Give an example of how several smaller choices in these different areas multiply together for a greater cumulative effect.
