INTERNATIONAL NATURAL HEALTH & NUTRITION CONFERENCE 

Saturday 11th September – Sunday 12th September 2010

Spier Estate, Stellenbosch - Cape Town, South Africa

Professor Emeritus Dr. T Colin Campbell, who headed the most comprehensive nutrition research project in the world and authored the NY Times best seller – The China Study, has agreed to be our main speaker at this inaugural International Natural Health & Nutrition Conference at Spier Estate in the Western Cape.

This Conference is open to doctors, oncologists, heart specialists, dieticians, sports scientists, nutritionists, natural health coaches, students, corporate wellness counsellors, mothers, fathers, and teachers and anyone interested in taking control of their health.  

Your health will forever be changed if you begin to implement some of the principles you learn and you will never be the same after hearing Dr Campbell, speak. He does this with authority in a way that any layman can understand and with commitment and integrity never before seen in the health industry. Dr Campbell is not involved in any commercial nutrition business and so is completely objective on issues of health. He has no commercial interests in the health industry whatsoever.

He will speak on protein, exercise and diet, the food and pharmaceutical industry and all aspects of nutrition, auto-immune disease, cancer, heart disease. Be prepared to be blown away by what this man says in such a calm and sound way. He will answer all your nutritional questions.

As well as Dr Campbell, we will have Dr Pam Popper (also US-based), Dr. Colin Campbell’s co-author on his new book due for release in the USA, summer of 2010.

Dr Popper is a highly entertaining and exceptional speaker and you will love her straight-forward and honest approach. Dr Popper is also involved in ‘education’ in the Natural Health industry and runs the Wellness Forum.
