Thursday, January 15th, 2009
I have had Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus and hypothyroidism for over 20 years. Although I had been doing fairly well, I had a severe MS flare in January 2009 that caused me to lose 6 weeks of work. I saw several conventional doctors, but my condition continued to worsen. I found Dr. Nigh through an internet search. I felt confident from my first visit because Dr. Nigh’s approach was so rational. Instead of stuffing me with pills, he ran more sensitive blood tests than I had ever had. He also suggested an elimination diet since MS patients often have “leaky gut” due to severe food allergies. I had been seeing doctors for thyroid medication for 35 years, but Dr. Nigh was the first to discover I had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This finally explained the extreme shifts in weight I had regularly experienced. Acupuncture and supplements slowed my symptoms. Once we had discovered the foods I was allergic to and eliminated them, my health rapidly improved. I’ve lost over 50 pounds, but more importantly, my thyroid is stable for the first time. Instead of being bedridden and in pain, I am able to live an active healthy life. I don’t think any of these dramatic improvements would be possible without Dr. Nigh’s expert assistance. In my opinion, he lives the Hippocratic Oath.

Unrelenting nausea and fatigue and a desire to work with a naturopathic doctor led me to Dr. Greg [Nigh]. He took time to understand the total me: soul, mind, body. He recommended lifestyle changes and supplements to improve my well being. Dr Greg’s recommendations have decreased the nausea and improved my emotional health. While many treatments are applied to cover the symptoms, true healing can only come from within. I urge anyone looking for true healing to contact Dr. Greg [Nigh].

Naturopathic Approach to Maintaining a Healthy Brain
Friday, June 20th, 2008
Listen to Naturopathic Approach to Maintaining a Healthy Brain
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh discuss various ways that we can maintain our brain health. They explain that memory decline is not just a “sign of aging”, but it’s a sign of not aging well and isn’t normal. A long life of oxidative stress, which the brain is especially vulnerable to, puts the brain in a position of being more prone to develop neurological diseases as we get older. Through a naturopathic approach, they’ll share with you many ways that we can protect our brains from this oxidative stress, leading to devastating disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, memory loss, and even strokes.

In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh will discuss some of the politics and problems behind the process of “peer review”. Peer review is the process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are considered experts in the same field. But, they ask, how can peer review be considered fair and unbiased when a lot of these reviewers have conflicting interests, such as receiving incentives from companies that have financial ties to what is being reviewed? They discuss this, as well as many other flawed elements in the process of “peer review”.

They explain what their naturopathic approach would be, which usually involves an adrenal stress test, food allergy testing, stress evaluations and chronic infection testing. Depending upon the results of those tests, patients will be put on a comprehensive treatment plan to address the imbalances and restore vitality to their bodies.
