Welcome Message & About Us

Hello, and welcome to our natural health community.

My name is Ben Kim. I'm a chiropractor and acupuncturist living and working in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.

I started this site back in March of 2003 when I established a residential fasting and chiropractic clinic in Ontario.

The goal of this site is simple: it's to help you understand what you need to do on a regular basis to experience your best health.

If you've been searching for answers to your health concerns, you might be feeling confused by the conflicting views that exist in conventional and alternative medical circles on how to address different health challenges.

As you read through my articles, I hope that you gain clarity on your concerns, and confidence in your ability to support your best health via your daily lifestyle choices.

Through my practice, I have helped enough people recover from severe and chronic health challenges to know that there is always reason to hope for and expect improvement with your health if you apply the principles found throughout this site.

If you're not sure where to start, please feel free to view some of the following articles that I have written on common health concerns:

Why Frequent Blinking is Essential for Healthy Eyes and Optimal Vision

How to Protect Your Health In The Computer Era

Understanding Blood Pressure

How to Prevent Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

How to Prevent Osteoporosis

How to Protect Your Health Against Toxic Behavior

If you find this site to be helpful, then I encourage you to sign up for my free e-newsletter below. Doing so will allow you to receive new articles as they are published.

In case you are curious about my background, I studied at the University of Toronto before going on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1997 at the National University of Health Sciences in Illinois. I graduated summa cum laude and class salutatorian, and more importantly, I walked away from my years of formal education with an excellent foundation in basic and clinical sciences - it's a foundation that I largely credit for any help that I have given to patients, clients, and readers of this site over the years.

After graduating, I traveled to the arctic of Alaska, where I worked at a chiropractic clinic for a group of Inuit villages. Following my time in Alaska, I completed a residential internship at the TrueNorth Health Center in northern California for certification in therapeutic fasting supervision by the International Association of Hygienic Physicians.

I'm also a graduate of the Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program at McMaster University.

This site wouldn't be possible without the ongoing contributions of my wife, Margaret Chuong-Kim. Margaret holds a B.A. in psychology from York University, and an M.A. in counselling psychology from the Adler School of Professional Psychology.

Margaret has worked with women and children survivors of domestic violence and members of the psychiatric community. She also has experience with crisis intervention and parent education.

Currently, Margaret serves as the main editor of this site.

Together, Margaret and I are grateful parents to two boys - our older son is a physical replica of her, and our youngest takes after his proud papa.

As this Web site has evolved, and as our readership has grown into tens of thousands of people in more than 150 countries, I have been fortunate to correspond with a number of thoughtful people from many different walks of life. I hope that you get as much inspiration from this site as I have received from our readers.

Wishing you peace and good health,

Ben Kim

P.S. For those of you who are interested in water fasting, please note that I am currently on a sabbatical from our water fasting program. I likely won't re-open the program until our children are a bit older.

I currently maintain a small outpatient chiropractic practice out of my home office, but my schedule is limited to caring for those who have been receiving my care for many years now; I'm sorry to report that I am not accepting new patients for the time being.
