The Dr. Madeira Show

We discuss how you can prevent Neurodegeneration and his new book, Shake it Off: An Integrative Approach to Parkinson's Solutions.

More about Dr. Greg Eckel:
Dr. Greg Eckel has been living in the Portland area since 1992. Dr. Eckel became increasingly aware of and concerned about the overuse of medications with children while teaching preschool, and this experience inspired his entry into Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine. In 2001 he co-founded Nature Cures Clinic.

The combination of Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and botanical medicine) has provided Dr. Eckel with a variety of tools to treat both acute and chronic illness while valuing the principles of prevention and wellness.

He has developed a deep and personal knowledge of chronic neurological conditions in the recent past. His wife Sarieah, passed of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a condition with no known cure. As she was the love of his life, being good husband and doctor, he set to the research to ‘swing for the fence,’ while unfortunately not finding a remedy for Sarieah, he uncovered Sarieah’s gifts.

The deep dive uncovered regenerative medicine and the development of a brain regenerative program. The development of a nasal spray specific to calm neuroinflammation in the brain. Procedures such as intranasal stem cell delivery to bypass the blood-brain barrier. Mind-body techniques to reverse anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. The list goes on, and so does the impact of Sarieah’s all too short life on the planet.

He is often asked what he specializes in with the quick retort, “treating people as whole dynamic beings moving through time and space.” We employ the physiology and biochemistry of the body in aiding in the healing possibilities. After 17 years in practice he is continually amazed at the healing possibilities of the body and specializes in difficult and recalcitrant conditions (ie. those that have been everywhere and tried everything often find some relief to a total resolution of their health conditions).

Dr. Eckel is trained in family practice and maintains a particular interest in:
Neurology – including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injuries, headaches, migraines, palsies, post-stroke recovery.
Allergies and Asthma – He wrote his doctoral paper on this topic. A wide variety of treatments are available, including low dose allergen (LDA) therapy.
Orthopedics – pain, fatigue, arthritis, sports injury, and motor vehicle accident recovery.

Dr. Madeira interviews Shawn Needham, R.Pharm about his book - Sickened: How the Government Ruined Healthcare and How to Fix it.

Shawn Needham discusses his solutions to the US Federal government being overly involved in our healthcare solutions, which is increasing the costs of healthcare (sickcare) in the USA.

Insurance and conventional medical care costs in the Unite States outspend all other developed countries in the world per capita. Yet the USA is still the sickest developed country for consecutive years, and meanwhile other much poorer countries showing far more health than the United States citizens.

This is devastating for US citizens who are spending around $20,000 - $25,000 for a family of four for their family’s sickcare insurance.

This “health insurance” is one of the biggest scam of modern times!

He offers a 6 part solution plan in his book to this massive issue, and we discuss some of these solutions during our podcast discussion and interview.

Listen to our interview to learn more about the massive problem and some of the many solutions Shawn has outlined in his book, Sickened.

You will want to learn how you can save money on healthcare for you and for your family.
