Cold Laser, Low Level Laser & Zerona for Scar Reduction, Wound Healing & Pain Reduction for Burn Victims with Dr. Stephanie King in Pasadena, CA (Los Angeles Area)

Low level lasers are a more effective process than other scar removal procedures for reducing pain and the unsightly appearance of both old and new scars. It may require several low level laser sessions to significantly reduce the appearance of scarring; nonetheless, it is a pain free procedure with a successful track record.  It’s amazing how the same technology used to help heal acne can also substantially enhance the healing process when it comes to recovering from a burn. Low level laser therapy, or cold laser therapy, has beneficial healing properties for burn victims, reducing burn scars and aiding the healing process recover to the original skin. Although it has yet to be granted 501K market clearance for wound healing, low level laser therapy has shown through research to increase the healing rate of burn victims, reducing scars and improving recovery times.

Research shows that those treated with lower level laser therapy heal at a much faster rate, almost twice as much for the typical victim when compared to those treated by placebos. Research indicates that those treated with this revolutionary therapy heal at a remarkable rate and are able to reduce burn scars more effectively.

How it Works

The use of low level lasers in the treatment of burn wounds has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, particularly in second and third degree burns. The main function of low lever lasers in burn treatments in the stimulation of tissues. This stimulation helps prevent infection and promotes healing. When skin is exposed to low level laser light, certain reactions are triggered within the cells of the tissue. These reactions can lead to reduced inflammation, increased lymphatic flow, circulation, and cell metabolism, and reduced pain. All of these reactions as a result of cold laser therapy work in conjunction to rapidly speed up the healing process for burn wounds, especially when compared to conventional, non-LLLT burn treatments.

Improve Recovery

Burns can be some of the most traumatic injuries to recover from, often because of the scars that develop and the resulting social stigma. Low level laser therapy can substantially reduce these scars and can help return you to your previous appearance. Although scars may be lasting, they can substantially be healed and minimized with the enhancement of low level laser surgery.

Cold Laser, Low Level Laser & Zerona for scar reduction and burn victims with Dr. Stephanie King in Pasadena CA (Los Angeles Area)

Low level lasers for scar reduction involve a noninvasive procedure that is done completely outside of the body. The goal of the laser procedure is to jump start the scarred cells on the cellular level (much like taking sunlight to plants).The lasers kick start a cell’s mitochondria organelles. The mitochondria organelles are light sensitive and are where a cell’s fuel is produced. In short, the laser’s light activates the cell’s healing process because once the mitochondria begins producing fuel (ATP), the body starts healing itself as it would naturally. Basically the low level laser serves as the mechanism to elicit the body’s natural healing process restoring normal healthy tissue to an area.  The low level lasers increase a cell’s metabolism, improve blood flow to the region and overall circulation, as well as offer a painkiller and anti-inflammatory effect. It is the culmination of these results which promotes the body’s healing properties and helps reduce the appearance of both old and new scars.

The Benefits:

1. Drug Free: Since the procedure non-invasive and completely painless, it does not require antibiotics or other surgery related medications.  Many people who suffer chronic pain from their scars regularly take painkillers as part of their daily regime to mask discomfort from pain, itching and swelling, however with low level laser treatment patients may find that they can stop taking them.

2. No Cell Damage: Since the lasers are at set to a low temperature, they are incapable of harming surrounding cells. High temperature lasers would damage skin cells, however low level lasers ignite a cell’s mitochondria organelles to begin healing as it would have done naturally.

3. Painless Procedure: It is precisely as a result of the two previously mentioned benefits that low level laser treatments are painless. Since the cold lasers do not cause cell damage or heat up the surrounding areas or require surgery, this laser procedure is 100% pain free.

4. Success Rate: Low level laser treatment studies have shown as high as an 80% reduction in pain associated with scars.

5. Natural Procedure: Cold level laser treatment is a completely natural process in that the lasers are the means of initializing a cell’s natural healing process rather than an instrument that directly causes the change. No intrusive surgery or medications are necessary with this laser treatment as it merely relies on the mitochondria organelles’ sensitivity to light.

“I just want you to know that I am calling you my MIRACLE DOCTOR. Thank you for what you’ve done to help me!  And it was so quick, too. I want to write this testimonial so that others will know that there is help out there for them, even if they’ve been told over and over again that they just have to “live with it….” Barbara NIven, Actress

Miracle Doctor, wow that is overwhelming to hear especially from someone so influential and who has access to the top doctors in this country and has sought more then 9 doctors before seeing Dr. King. Dr. Stephanie King’s Nutrition, Bioidentical Hormone & LIfestyle Program is amazing, which is why you see so many testimonials on her website from patients who have sought her ought to heal their broken bodies and restore their health. What makes her program so unique? Dr. King is able to pinpoint what other doctors can’t, and as a result chronic conditions, diseases, chronic symptoms that other doctors have given up on are healed or brought under control and the patient is given their life back. Whether it’s through bioidentical hormones, thyroid problems, adrenal burnout, lack of energy, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, or cancer Dr. King’s approach is the same — gentle, natural healing through natural methods.

Dr. King uses an amazing device that allows her to see beyond what lab work usually limits us to called LSA Pro. This system uses bioenergentic testing which is also referred to as energy medicine. When you go to the doctor you typically have lab work, MRIs, CT scans, X-rays all come back negative and you still feel symptoms and know your body is sick. Dr. King can look inside your body with this machine and see subtle changes not from a chemical view but from an electrical view (based on quantum physics). For example anger is an emotion that will affect your liver, causing stress even fatty deposits you will not see it physically meaning labs would be normal but you would have symptoms such as migraines or insomnia and the electrical field around the liver would be changed and this would show up when we run the computer through your system. We can test not only ever organ, but every system, hormone, neurotransmitter, test for allergies, chemicals sensitives, and so on and so on. Not only this, but once we find the weakness we can then use the same machine to test what particular type of medicine (homeopathic remedy, herb, mineral, vitamin, etc.) will re-establish that part of the body and bring it back into balance. Once we begin to balance out all these areas you begin to heal and function normally again. This is a very simplified explanation for a complex process. Combining this with all your lab data, history, and Dr. King’s years of experience we are able to find the cause of what is going on in your system and begin to heal it before areas break down to the point that it would show up on lab work, MRI, etc. which often means you’re looking at something much more serious. This technology was developed in the fifties by Dr. Reinhard Voll in Germany and it’s amazing.

Dr. King’s approach with her 2 Hour Nutrition & Lifestyle program not only utilizes this wonderful device but she also spends allot of time researching her patients. She has you fill out a 16 page questionnaire which is like a pre-interview that gives her a thorough understanding of your body, how you’ve been treating it and how it’s been responding. Also any lab work, medical records you currently have from other doctors, nutritionists you’ve been working with she has you send to her before she even meets with you. Dr. King spends about an hour preparing for her time with you learning your body and what you’ve already done and been through. So you will have about 3 hours of her time invested in your body and getting your better. Once your 2 hour session is complete she puts your program together and then she gives you unlimited email access until your follow up session so you can work back and forth making sure that you are feeling better and improving until the next time you meet and re-test. Her goal is work with you until you feel amazing and she is their with you every step of the way.

Thanks Doc for giving me back my life. I’ve had heartburn now for 4 years and have taken every prescription the doctors prescribed and none of them worked. I even cut out all of the foods I loved hoping it would go away but not only did it not go away it got worse, daily. I couldn’t take it, then my girlfriend recommended Dr. Stephanie King, and I thought how could a few bottles of supplements and chiropractic work when all these prescriptions failed.  I had nothing to lose and I’m so glad I listened to you. With all your technology I figured you must know something they don’t and just like your testimonials in two weeks no more heartburn.  I thought no way and this would never last so I waited 6 weeks before writing this and doc I’m eating my spicy foods and still no heartburn.  Thank you so much for finding the real cause and giving me back my life without Meds.

Miracle Doctor, Testimonial by Actress Barbara Niven

“I just want you to know that I am calling you my MIRACLE DOCTOR. Thank you for what you’ve done to help me!  And it was so quick, too. I want to write this testimonial so that others will know that there is help out there for them, even if they’ve been told over and over again that they just have to “live with it”. I have been suffering from chronic hives for over a year now. I went to about eight or nine doctors, including holistic ones, and nobody could give me relief. They said it was of “unknown cause” and prescribed every drug there is, including prednisone. Still, I had rashes all over my body. I also went on a strict no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no caffeine diet for a year, as prescribed by someone else, to no avail. I had given up hope, and watched as it finally spread to my face too. I am an actress, and that was devastating. Finally I went to see Dr. Stephanie King.

She used this new computer diagnostic system (the LSA-Pro) to diagnose what was happening in my body, and within three weeks I feel so much better, it’s incredible!  She changed a lot of what the other doctors had been giving me for over a year without success. I feel I got my life back.  I want to tell everyone about Dr. King, so you know about this new system and way of diagnosing illness. If you have any problems that nobody can diagnose, I highly recommend her.  The system is pretty space age and totally non-invasive. I simply sat in front of the compter monitor and put my palm on a cradle while she ran tests on the computer for over an hour. I watched the screen as it examined every organ and system in my body. Then it went through all the possible allergens in food, the environment, etc and showed me which ones are stressors for me. It all printed out into a nice little report that shows me what to avoid while I’m having an inflammation attack, and what could be possible triggers. Afterwards she used the info, plus her experience, to start me on a new protocol of supplements and hormones. She’s been checking in with me almost daily through email, and adjusting here and there. She reevaluated two weeks later and changed them a little bit more, and now it’s been three weeks and I am so different! Hurray!” (Barbara Niven, Actress, Motivational Speaker)

“I have had stomach problems for the last 12 years or so. I have gone to so many doctors and no one was able to help me out. One doctor even told me it was normal, which I knew it wasn’t.

All these years of suffering gone in just 1 month with Dr. King’s advice. I am now living abroad and still keep in contact with Dr. King. I have recommended her to everyone I know and my family even goes to her too. Dr. King is by far one of the best things that has ever happened to my health.” (Randy M.)

SUGAR, HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH & HOW TO AVOID IT, by Dr. Stephanie King Alternative Medicine & Your Health

Sugar has become such a standard in the typical “American diet” that many health care professionals are considering it the NUMBER 1 addiction.  In the past 20 years, the average person’s consumption has increased from 20 pounds to 156 pounds of sugar annually, this is despite the devastating health effects associated with sugar.

This startling number leads us to the other concern which is the most prevalent health issues in the U.S population are all linked to high intake of sugar including obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

How Sugar Affects Your Health….

The insulin response: The health issues that develop as a result of a high-sugar diet are strongly linked to the response of the hormone insulin to carbohydrate ingestion, a phenomenon known as the glycemic response.   Simple carbs such as sugar are metabolized quickly by the body resulting in a rapid release of insulin and quick rise and fall in blood sugar.  This is often felt by a quick burst of energy followed by symptoms of fatigue (prolonged use of sugar for energy can cause adrenal burnout).  Insulin resistance is a progressive condition that occurs; symptoms include high levels of both glucose and insulin.  In addition, consumption of excess dietary carbohydrate can stimulate lipolysis (fat generation), resulting in higher levels of triglycerides and cholesterol.  As the body’s ability to store excess energy becomes further impaired, fat deposition begins to occur around the internal organs.  This type of fat, called visceral fat is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.

Dental Health & Your Immune System with Sugar….

Other negative effects of high sugar consumption include its impact on dental health and immunity.  Simple carbs as well as sugar cause increase in both oral and intestinal microbes Strep mutan and Candida Albicans.  High amounts of these bacterias lead to impairments in the body’s resistance to infections.

High sugar intake has also been linked to mental and emotional well being affecting disorders such as ADD, depression and anxiety.  Other negative health-effects are the inflammatory response that sugar causes on the body leading to a high amount of toxic compounds in the body called, AGE’s (Advanced glycation end products).  These compounds cause tissue damage and cellular damage and are a key influential factor in the development of arthritis, heart disease, asthma, and accelerated aging.  AGE’s have also been linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

Steps to eliminate sugar…….

While many of us associate sugar with sweet foods like pastries and candy, these types only represent about 10% of overall sugar intake.  When I do my nutrition consults with patients I find out just how many sugar items people love to eat and they don’t even realize there’s sugar in them (i.e. large quantities of fruit, dried fruit, salad dressings).  High contributors of dietary sugar include: sweetened beverages (soda, fruit juice, sweetened teas), sauces, condiments, salad dressings (read half of the organic good for you dressings and you’ll find sugar), spaghetti sauce, breads, milk, yogurt, pre-packaged foods, pre-made foods, etc.

Sugar can also be listed as several different names: glucose, fructose, dextrose, corn syrup, sucrose, and cane sugar to name a few.  A particular form of sugar called HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP found in many food items such as ketchup and soda is especially damaging.  HFCS is produced from corn starch and clinical research now shows it presents even more health risks then regular sugar.

Watch out for sugar substitutes…..

When looking to reduce dietary sugar intake, many of us turn to artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes as an option.  The most common being aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame K and sucralose, all of these are considered BAD choices and have been linked to conditions such as cancer and ADD.  Recent research also suggests that these common choices are also linked weight weight gain, hyopglycemia and increased hunger.

Better choices are Agave Nectar, Stevia, or Xylitol.  Also organic honey in small amounts.  The goal is to reduce sugar and switch to better choices such as raw can sugar, honey, agave, fruit and molassess.  People fighting certain illness, autoimmune disorders, etc… may need to cut sugar out altogether in order to improve their health.  For more information on your specific needs we offer a full Lifestyle/Nutrition Consultation you are welcome to contact us for consultation to determine you best path to great health.

All my best for continued health & success, Dr. Stephanie King

Supercharge You Nutrition in the New Year w/Dr. King, Los Angeles, CA

We’ve been continuing to post on our sister blog at http://www.dedicatedtohealth.com/blog here is our latest blog post, please visit our site to read all of our latest entries, All my best for continued GREAT health, Dr. Stephanie King

Here’s an important look at four important nutrients the symptoms of low levels, and a few everyday solutions for filing the gaps. POTASSIUM:

Crucial to kidney and hear function, healthy potassium levels help keep your blood pressure in check. In a study published earlier this year researchers found that low potassium may be as harmful as excess sodium when it comes to raising your risk of high blood pressure. Several other studies also show that increasing your intake can strengthen your bones as well as cut your risk of stroke, now the 3rd leading cause of death each year among American women. How do you know if your deficient? Taking diuretics and drinking too much alcohol while skimping on mineral-rich fruits and vegetables can be the cause. You may experience symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, and constipation. Best sources? To reach your 4700mg of potassium daily try the following foods along with a good Multiple & Vitamin Mineral (such as our Activ Nutrients by Xymogen) bananas, acorn squash, almonds, spinach, and avocado.

VITAMIN D:

Long known to aid the body in using calcium efficiently, vitamin D is vital for a strong skeleton. Despite the increasing evidence showing that vitamin D may defend against a slew of health problems, Americans are still not getting enough. In clinical studies, scientists have discovered that people with low D-levels may be more vulnerable to heart disease, some types of cancer (including breast, lung, prostate, colon, and ovarian), autoimmune disorders, depression and chronic pain. How do you know if your deficient? Softening of the bones and rickets. Best sources? Food sources are so limited and sun exposure isn’t the best option for most people, it’s a good idea to take vitamin D3 supplement. Recommended amount is between 2000IU-10,000IU per day depending on your serum vitamin D levels.

CALCIUM:

Beyond building healthy bones, calcium play a major part in ensuring that your blood vessels, muscles, and nerves function properly. Calcium is so essential to survival, in fact that your body will draw the mineral right from your bones if your intake isn’t adequate. Along with keeping your bones strong and healthy, women with high calcium intake may cut their overall odds of developing cancer, according to a 2009 Archives of Internal Medicine. Recent research also shows that loading up on calcium may help promote weight loss in women who are calcium deficient. How do you know if your deficient? There are no outwardly known symptoms to signal when you’re low on calcium. An increased risk of osteoporosis is the greatest threat. Best sources? Yogurt, orange juice, dark-green leafy vegetables like spinach & kale and pinto beans. It’s pretty tough to get enough calcium from food. So a basic Multiple Vitamin & Mineral like Activ Nutrients by Xymogen until about age 40 and then supplement with additional Calcium in a good formula with MHCH, Vitamin D3 such as our Osoplex which has been proven in clinical studies to not only prevent osteoporosis but also reverse the process due to its’ patented formula building both the inside and outside of the bone.

FOLATE

Not only risky for pregnant women, low folate levels may weaken your heart health. When lacking in this B vitamin, your body has trouble metabolizing certain amino acids, which can lead to a buildup of protein called homocysteine. Even moderately high levels of homocysteine can jack up your heart-disease risk, according to dozens of studies. Other research links low folate levels with a higher risk of cancer, dementia and depression. While higher folate levels appeared in studies to protect against asthma, allergies and age-related vision loss. How do you know if your deficient? Signs would include anemia and fatigue Best sources? Although folate is found in many fruits and veggies it is not easily absorbed from its natural food sources. So a must is to get this in a good multiple vitamin and mineral and/or to take a good B-complex such a B-Activ by Xymogen.

COURTESY OF BODY & SOUL THOUGHTS ON WHOLE LIVING: “Allow yourself the chance to really savor each moment. Only you can decide the path worth taking. Don’t wait for your mood to change; take action despite it. (Dr. KIng loves this one!) Approach gift shopping as an opportunity to honor the people your really love. Rather then search for a single miracle food, strive for a varied and delicious diet. (Dr. King says, there really is NO miracle food or pill a combination of the right choices for your body will bring you true health) You CAN’T GROW without pushing your limits. Stop worrying about getting sick; focus on your health instead. No one knows what the future will bring. Put your energy in now.”

Dr. King wishes all of you a very Happy Holiday Season & encourages you to focus on Good Health Habits and New Changes for rebuilding your body in the New Year.

She is very knowledgeable and supportive. All of her staff are commited to personalized, warm, and professional services. I feel so comfortable in her office. During a session with Dr. King, she gives me her undivided attention. She has helped me become more conscious about my health and more in control of my life.

“I went to Dr. King initially for the Zerona laser procedure because I was having trouble losing weight.  I’ve been on zoloft for a long time, and not only did it cause me to gain 20 lbs – it also made it impossible to lose.  With just 12 treatments over 4 weeks – I lost 15 lbs and 9 inches off my stomach and thighs.  And better than that, Dr. K also works with you on a nutrition plan to enhance the effects.  She is very kind and helpful, and her office is great!  I also now go to her for chiropractic as well.”

“10/22/09 I saw the Zerona Laser on the Rachel Ray Show & found Dr. King. I picked Dr. King even though I had to drive about an hour from work each time to treat with her because she really cares about her patients. She includes an amazing nutrition & lifestyle program with her Zerona Laser Sessions that not only finds out why you are having weight issues but helps you keep the weight off once you reach your goal. Her goal is to get you healthy and help you keep the weight off, not just look good. I was a size 16 and thought this really was just for the thinner people looking to sculpt, well I lost 11 inches and went down 3 sizes thanks to the Zerona and Dr. King’s products and meal plans in just 1 month. And I’m proud to say  I’m keeping it off and still losing. Thank you Dr. King for caring so much about me with your weekly emails, constant encouragement and great program. I never expected such a change in my health, but not only do I look great but I feel amazing! Rae UPDATE– 11/25 over a month since my review and I’m still looking GREAT, and even lost another 2 more inches. Thank you so much Dr. King for this amazing technology. The Zerona Laser is an amazing natural, holistic almost organic gift to those of us who don’t want surgery and are looking for healthy ways to accelerate weight loss and look good FAST!”
