“I can not tell you how refreshing it is to be seen as a person and not a disease.”
Monday, January 19th, 2009
I am a person with a physical disability. As other people living with disabilities know western conventional approaches to medicine often focus on “making you comfortable” and “masking your symptoms”. Too often I have felt with western medicine that my disability was perceived to be the root of any secondary ailment I might have.
When I first started seeing Dr. Nigh I suffered from debilitating respiratory infection associated with common colds and allergies. I have a reduced respiratory capacity do to my disability, and so a simple cold would leave me incapacitated for up to three weeks, dependent on a nebulizer every two hours to breath. Western Doctors would load me up with antibiotics and expectorants and I would suffer all winter long, lucky if I had a week or two before getting sick again.
When I began treatment with Dr. Nigh he not only helped to ease the the symptoms of what I was experiencing at the time he also spent valuable time working to develop regiments with me that would be preventative. He was mindful of my lifestyle needs and limitations yet at the same time treating each issue as a unique piece to the whole picture of me, with my disability being just one small piece. I can not tell you how refreshing it is to be seen as a person and not a disease.
I have continued to work with Dr. Nigh for over three years now and each year I have seen dramatic improvement in my health. If i do get sick I am sick for less time and do not need to rely on the nebulizer or oral steroids. I am currently halfway through the winter cold and flu season and have yet to get sick. For those of you who think there is no help out there other than “making you comfortable” I highly recommend Dr. Nigh to you!

“Instead of being bedridden and in pain, I am able to live an active healthy life”
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.
