Early life stress before the age of ten is a predictor of falling into a major depression.

Conquering CAM
Camexpo is the UK’s leading professional complementary, natural and integrative health event. Hundreds of therapists, health practitioners and exercise professionals attend the two-day exhibition and it’s a ‘must-do’ event in the calendar.
Meet, greet, talk…repeat
This weekend proved to be a great success for both the Integrative Health Education and Parasite Testing Europe teams. Nothing beats talking to other practitioners. As much as we all love to engage via our blogs, social media channels and email, we get a great buzz from talking health with our amazing colleagues from across the industry.
And boy did we talk! Over two busy days at Olympia we chatted to over 300 practitioners, therapists and students. Manual therapists, exercise professionals, rehab specialists, nutritionists, naturopaths and energy healers; they all came to our stands to learn more.
Talking bugs
Over on the Parasite Testing Europe stand it was bug-tastic. Lots of practitioners had questions for Emma, Nicki and Graeme and we discussed symptoms, testing and of course how FREEDOM CLEANSE RESTORE can help patients recover.
Integrate your knowledge
As always we were blown away by people’s thirst for knowledge. Luckily we had the 2016 Integrative Health Education course calendar ready in time for the show. We’ve got some fantastic new courses launching, including:
Facial Tells of Dis-Ease – Building on Emma Lane’s Tells Of The ‘Dis-Eased Body’, this unique course examines how our face is a mirror for our personality and reveals what can be learnt about the health, temperament and life of a client from facial ‘tells’. It was fascinating watching Emma demonstrate her amazing knowledge, talking to practitioners about the ‘tells’ she could see and what they reveal about our health.
Di you know that the liver holds on to anger and this can manifest as physical symptoms if it is not addressed? The Emotions From Within one-day course addresses the connections between the physical and emotional aspects of wellbeing. Emma will explore how emotions are stored in the organs and the long-term health implications.
Build Your Profile with PR and Social Media – will help to take your career to the next level. This course explores the many ways that practitioners can develop a credible and interesting profile. From your online presence to tips on networking, this half-day workshop will give practitioners lots of practical ideas to implement straight away.
Content Strategy and Online Writing Masterclass is a half-day workshop that will help health practitioners and anyone working in the wellbeing and fitness sector to plan, create and curate their own online content. An essential course for anyone in today’s industry.
In print
We were all very proud to see Emma’s feature on parasites in the October issue of CAM Magazine, which was handed out at the show. The piece is the first in a series of articles we have planned for the magazine and we were thrilled to see Emma’s expertise shared in this way.
Spreading the word
A second highlight was Emma’s talk on Saturday afternoon in the Demo Theatre. The talk, Break Down the Barriers to Your Patient’s Health – Parasites, Fungi and Bacteria, examined how parasites can affect the organs and central nervous system. Testing protocols from Parasite Testing Europe were also introduced and lots of practitioners came back to the stands to find out more after the talk.
As anyone who has taken one of Emma’s courses will appreciate, the talk was very well received. The room was packed, with more practitioners squeezed in at the back and gathering around the outside of the speaker zone.
And relax….
On Saturday night the team headed out for Thai food and tequila (that’s how we roll) but wisely everyone was in bed early to put in a full day on the Sunday!
Day two…
The second show day included a meeting with Simon Martin, editor of CAM Magazine, to talk about Emma and the IHE writing more articles for the magazine. Look out for the November and December issues for more insight on parasites from Emma. We are all really grateful to CAM Magazine for their support in helping to spread the word about the wonderful world of parasites, fungus and bacteria.
Camexpo is always a brilliant way to connect with our industry. We made many new friends and look forward to working with new people as we head towards the end of 2015.
We’ll be back next year for more. See you at 2016 Camexpo!
Vascular disease
A diagonal crease on the earlobe is an indication of coronary vascular disease.
An apple a day
There would be 8,500 fewer deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes in the UK alone if people over the age of 50 ate one apple a day. Apples can have similar protective effects as cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, say researchers from Oxford University, who reckon the lives could be saved if seven out of 10 people started eating an apple a day.
Quivering tongue
A quivering tongue is an indication of magnesium deficiency.
Gas and constipation
It is normal to pass gas on average of 10-15 times per day. Regular pumping movements and gentle abdominal massage, along with probiotics and digestive enzymes can all be helpful in relieving constipation
In the news
Since launching last year, Integrative Health Education has appeared in various health publications like CAM Magazine and Holistic Therapist Magazine.
Our educators, including Hannah Richards, Debbie Grayson, Graeme Jones and of course Emma Lane, have contributed to a wide range of health articles over the 12 months.
From the effects of stress to energy healing, gut health and parasites, we’re keen to share our knowledge with other practitioners and we’ve got several publications to thank for their support.
Positive Health Online has worked with Integrative Health Education from the beginning and has shared several of Emma’s articles. Bowel Baddies and Emma’s writing on parasites have proven to be popular features. There’s more to come on this site so do make sure you check out the articles in the coming months.
CAM Magazine is the industry’s most read title and Integrative Health Education has had more than five articles or news pieces published this year. The editor Simon Martin is particularly interested in Emma’s vast knowledge of parasites, fungus and bacteria.
Most recently CAM Magazine shared a report on Integrative Health Education’s Understanding Parasites seminar, presented by Dr Amin in conjunction with PCI Europe. The title also included another article on Morgellons. Known as Neuro-cutaneous Syndrome (NCS), this is a new neurological and dermatological disorder caused by incompatible dental materials.
NCS is characterised by pinprick sensations that are easily misdiagnosed as symptoms of a parasite infection. When tested, no parasites are found, leading to a diagnosis of ‘delusional parasitosis’. However the real cause of the symptoms is metal and sealant toxins which can lead to opportunistic infections from bacteria.
Emma has also been asked to write a series of articles for CAM Magazine. The first, a piece on parasites, fungus and bacteria, will be out in the magazine in time for CAM Expo. Three articles in total are planned so don’t forget to get your copy every month!
Just as our name suggests, Integrative Health Education offers practitioners the opportunity to integrate their health knowledge and employ a range of methodologies to give their clients the best possible health outcomes. Sharing our knowledge is at the heart of what we do. So it’s no surprise that Emma has contributed to Nutrition I-Mag – the online publication for nutrition students. January saw Emma share her thoughts on detox and you can read the article here.
Our blogs have also been spotted by Holistic Therapist Magazine. They’ve featured a number of articles by Emma, including Tongues Tell Tales and The Energy Trinity. Keep your eye on their website because there are more blogs due out next month!
Also in October…listen to Emma’s podcasts for the Digestion Detective. Tune in from the first week of October to learn more about parasites, fungus and bacteria.

Know your numbers
If you don’t have a signal on your mobile, you can still call the emergency services. Dial 112 and know what features your phone has for emergency dialing. Remember, even if your network doesn’t have a signal, other peoples’ might, so ask around.
One thing at a time
When writing for the web, try to include just one key concept or piece of information per sentence and paragraph. This way readers can quickly scan through each paragraph and move on, without missing the important point you want to communicate.
A sympathetic response
A sympathetic response when eating will reduce our ability to digest and absorb your food effectively.
Act F.A.S.T.
A stroke can change or destroy a life but do you know what to look for? Use the F.A.S.T technique. Remember:
Face – has one side fallen, can the patient smile?
Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
Speech – is their speech slurred?
Time – if you notice any of these signs, time is of the essence, call 999 for help

Reading from computer screens is tiring for the eyes and slower than reading from printed matter. Use titles and sub headings to break up text, shorter words, shorter sentences and always avoid using jargon or acronyms.
Courses
INTEGRATIVE HEALTH EDUCATION brings together the best health educators from around the world to present a comprehensive programme of training opportunities. Course subjects include gastrointestinal health, parasites, fungus and bacterial infections, energy and emotional healing practices and mindfulness. If there is a subject you’d like to learn more about, but can’t find a course, just let us know.
Mission Statement
Our vision is that health practitioners can develop the skills and knowledge to employ a variety of practical methodologies that safely bridge the gap between conventional Western medicine and holistic healthcare practices.
Through our training courses we aim to give practitioners, whatever their approach to health and wellbeing, the knowledge, skills and tools that will enable them to deliver the best possible approaches to resolve their patients or client’s health challenges.
