Holistic Ways was set up by Stephen Gamble, a passionate and caring therapist with many years experience of working with people who suffer from many symptoms and diseases.
Stephen became interested in alternative therapies after being diagnosed as an insulin dependent diabetic in his mid-twenties. For many years he suffered from regular complications of this unpredictable disease which resulted in him passing out in a diabetic coma in the middle of the main road into town and with his young son watching. This was the final straw and with his wife's support stephen began to change his eating habits to a healthy wholefood diet. Stephen read every book he could get his hands on locally and then decided to study for the Practitioners Diploma in Natural Nutrition with Barbara Wren (www.natnut.co.uk). This course introduced Stephen to The Gerson Therapy. After graduation, Stephen started his clinical experience with clients but was always looking for another therapy which would complement the Natural Nutrition. Stephen found this in Iridology. Iridology looks into the clients irises (which are mapped to the body) to identify inherent weaknesses and damage to organs. Stephen studied for his Diploma in Naturopathic Iridology with The Independent School of Iridology. This qualification is accredited by the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists Int.
Throughout this time, Stephen continued to read and learn more about natural methods of healing and particularly the Gerson Therapy. He decided to attend a one-day introduction on the Gerson Therapy and subsequently become a telephone help-line volunteer for the UK Gerson Support Group. This led to Stephen studying for the first module of The Gerson Therapy Training Program for Licenced Professionals. Stephen felt this complimented his existing practice and strongly believed in this principles of healing that Dr Max Gerson developed. After a while Stephen decided to pursue his training in the Gerson Therapy and embarked on the internship module of this course, he spent one week with the doctors at the Gerson Clinic in Mexico. Following this Stephen continued with his studies and will complete the final stages of The Gerson Therapy Training Program in 2009.
Stephen has also taught the Nutrition module on the precision reflexology course taught by The Holland Academy of Reflexology for many years, along with various other one day courses to fellow therapists in the Midlands area.
Stephen has practiced and continues to practice Natural Nutrition, the Gerson Therapy and Naturopathic Iridology in addition to his teaching days and offering Gerson Therapy Training Days.
A Personal Message from Stephen Gamble
For many of you this will be a voyage of discovery into your own healing capabilities. Taking responsibility for your own health and well-being can be both overwhelming and exciting, but well worth the effort involved.
The human body is made up from trillions of cells, all working together to maintain equilibrium. Disease occurs when, for some reason, these cells are unable to function as they should. This may be through a combination of factors such as: incorrect diet, prescription or recreational drugs, hereditary reasons, smoking, tissue trauma, environmental pollution and much much more.
Each day of our lives we take in toxicity from many sources, if our immune systems are not strong enough to deal with these poisons the cells become damaged and lose essential nutrients, which are vital to our health and well-being. These toxins come from the air we breath, our drinking water, cosmetic make-up, pesticides in food/drink, hormone residuals from meat/milk, radiation from microwaves and mobile phones. Never a week passes that we don't hear about drugs, which are being withdrawn because they are dangerous or damaging.
Symptoms are our bodies way of telling us something isn't quite right, we go to the doctor who often prescribes drugs - which alleviates the symptoms and fools us into believing we are healed.
We are no longer able to feel in tune with our intuition and instead give away our power to the doctors (saying make me better!).
This website will cover just a few things that you can do for yourself. It is important that you reduce both internal and external pollution, so that your immune system is given the best possible change to regain balance. The longer you have suffered disease, the longer it will take to regain your health. It can take two years for the liver to fully regenerate.
I invite you to start on your own journey to health, start it today!
