Friday, April 10th, 2009
Listen to the Mismanaged Health Care Podcast
Dr. Eckel and Dr. Nigh share their thoughts on some of the more common health conditions they believe are mismanaged in medicine, such as diabetes, thyroid disease.

The approach that they outline will help you in eliminating your symptoms because you’re most likely to eliminate the cause of your disease!
