Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Listen to: Mismanaged Thyroid Podcast
In this podcast, Dr. Eckel and Dr. Nigh discuss some issues surrounding the mismanagement of thyroid disease. This disease is often misdiagnosed, and therefore mismanaged, leading to very frustrated patients that are left with no answers as to what is causing their ongoing symptoms. Find out how the doctors would approach treating a patient naturopathically, that was suffering with thyroid disease.

“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.
