“Important, outstanding, fantastic” – Leading natural healthcare experts voice their support for camexpo 2013

News Press Releases

“camexpo is THE practitioner and therapist event of the year.” So says top women’s health nutritionist Dr Marilyn Glenville about the UK’s biggest event for complementary and integrated healthcare professionals – camexpo, which returns for its 11th edition on 5-6 October at Earls Court, London.

A keen support and regular speaker at camexpo for almost ten years – Dr Glenville is known for attracting standing-room-only crowds. Indeed, such is her popularity with camexpo audiences that she is the only speaker to be hosting two Keynotes (‘Natural solutions to digestive problems and IBS’ and ‘Fat around the middle: Central Adiposity – why is it such a health risk?’) over the weekend show.

“It’s a privilege to be invited back [to camexpo] again this year,” says Dr Glenville, the former President of the Food and Health Forum at the Royal Society of Medicine. “For two full days everything is under one roof – offering practitioners and students access to top quality seminars, workshops, and a wealth of supplement and natural product companies.”

Another speaker looking forward to returning to the Keynote stage is best-selling author, nutritionist, and founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, Patrick Holford. Unable to attend last year’s camexpo, he’ll be back with a highly-anticipated bang for 2013 – discussing “cutting edge genetic discoveries that makes the process of losing weight and staying young much easier” in ‘Weight loss – what really works?’ on Sunday 6 October.

“What’s great about camexpo is that you quickly get up to date with the current trends and developments in natural healing,” says Holford.

With 75% of 2012’s visitors citing keeping-up-to-date as their number one reason for attending, camexpo’s exceptional CPD-accredited training and education programme has certainly proved a big annual draw. Renowned for providing dynamic, inspiration-packed content from some of the biggest and brightest names in the industry, this year’s line-up includes 22 free Keynote Seminars (in two Revital-sponsored theatres).

New speakers for 2013 include:

  • Professor Ingvar Bjarnason – lead gastroenterologist at London’s King’s College Hospital
  • Miguel Toribio-Mateas – chairman of BANT and clinical director of The Optimum Health Clinic
  • Penelope Quest – bestselling author of Reiki for Life, Self-Healing with Reiki, and The Reiki Manual
  • Henrietta Norton – co-founder of Wild Nutrition
  • CAM Coach Mark Shields – founder of The Life Practice Group
  • Dr Jane Buckle – creator of the ‘M’ Technique (a method of gentle, structured touch suitable for those with special needs or dementia)
  • Naturopath Andrea Jacobs – presenting exclusive findings from new clinical research into inflammatory health treatment regimes

“camexpo is an important date in my diary as it is a chance to meet practitioners from all over the country and catch up on latest developments in an industry very close to my heart,” says neurologist and nutritional consultant Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, who previously appeared at camexpo in 2010.

Perhaps best known for developing the GAPS (Gut And Psychology Syndrome) nutritional protocol, Dr Campbell-McBride’s 2013 Keynote will focus on ‘Autoimmune disease in children and adults’. Outlining why she believes that autoimmune conditions, including diabetes type one, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, interstitial cystitis, nephropathy, and lupus, are becoming more common (over 200 conditions have been identified to date), she’ll discuss what causes these conditions, and how they can be prevented and reversed.

Having dedicated the past few years of his career to the research and support of individuals with auto-immune conditions, Nutri-Link’s head of technical services Antony Haynes will also be offering his views (backed by case histories) on a ‘Route to Resolution’ from auto-immune conditions. (Haynes and Dr Campbell-McBride will both be appearing on Saturday 5 October at 11.35am and 12.40pm respectively.)

“The audience at camexpo is always a fantastic one,” says Haynes. “I’m so looking forward to presenting a sequel, as it were, to the auto-immune conditions that I talked about last year, but this time a year on.”

According to Haynes, these conditions are the cause of nearly a third of the world’s illnesses requiring long-term medical treatment. Describing what some of his patients have done in detail, to achieve freedom from their conditions (which include rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and sarcoidosis), he aims “to show that there may be a complementary route for patients, to their existing medical treatment, and one that can prove to be extremely successful and life-changing”.

Returning speakers include Elke Theuwissen, who’ll be presenting new research into how Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) shows benefits for bone and heart health; Dale Pinnock, who’ll be offering ‘Culinary approaches to cardiovascular disease management and protection’; Expectancy’s educational director Denise Tiran; ANH founder Dr Rob Verkerk; the CMA’s president Jayney Goddard; naturopath Daniel Baden; Outstanding Achievement Award winners (at camexpo 2011 and 2012) Meghan Mari and Rachel Fairweather from the Jing Institute of Advanced Massage Training; Margaret Coats and Hazel Russo, with the CNHC’s annual regulation update for professional practitioners; and Robert J Marshall – founder of Premier Research Labs (a leading US manufacturer of toxin free, living-source nutrition and cellular resonance products) – discussing ‘Firing up energy systems in the body’.

“At Premier Research Labs we have long worked under the premise that if you have healthy bio-energetic and musculo-skeletal systems, you will have a solid foundation to get people to a point of optimal health,” explains Marshall, who believes that physical and cellular degeneration and reduced physical activity can age us prematurely.

Focusing on bioenergetic systems in the body and mitochondrial health (mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use), he’ll share insights on biophoton energy, cell frequency, and the impact of toxins and non-nutritive excipients (bulking agents or fillers) gained from over four decades of research and clinical experience.

“I’m confident these [methods] have the ability to really transform how clinicians go about providing healthcare to their clients and patients,” he concludes.

“The seminar speakers are always highly informed, passionate and inspiring – I’m looking forward to camexpo 2013!,” says Michelle Rodrigues from Earth Therapy, just one of thousands of practitioners, therapists, CAM students, and health store buyers preparing to revisiting camexpo again this year.
