Guest Bio
Dr. Liza Leal knows something about pain, both professionally and personally as a patient. Dr. Liza lives with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic, aching inflammation of the joints. Her personal experiences provide a unique perspective that strengthens her professional commitment to treat patients with compassion, understanding and education.
Leal began experiencing searing, persistent leg pain during her junior year of medical school. She completed medical school and began her residency—in a wheelchair. Today, Leal is out of the wheelchair—thanks to her unique comprehensive approach to pain management, which lead her to the understanding how opioid dependence is misunderstood by many in healthcare. Her passion is to bridge the education gap, evoke conversation between healthcare providers and pharmaceutical industry to help build long-term relationships through caring conversation.
Leal is the Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Meridian Medical Dental Healthcare. As a family physician, Leal offers patients a comprehensive range of services of integrated medicine. She is well known for her development of training webinars and was featured in the Bronze Opus Award “On the Road to Joint Pain Relief” as the medical expert in the 30-minute infomercial. She has developed specialized training for sales representatives for pharmaceutical companies including Searle, Pfizer, Ligand, Organon and Cephalon. Currently she is the spokesperson for the international infomercials for Aloecure and Aloederma.
Leal earned a B.S. in Biology (Pre-Med) at the University of Dallas and a Medicare degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center Medical School at Houston. She completed her post-graduate training at St. Joseph Family Practice in Houston and is certified by the American Academy of Pain Management. She also is certified to treat patients who suffer from substance abuse and addiction. Leal has sat on the faculty of the American Academy of Pain Management and the American Academy of Family Practice.
Her feature articles have appeared in Woman's World magazine, Prevention magazine and on many other magazines and websites. She is a fierce promoter and living example of learning to live well with chronic pain.
She regularly gives presentations on arthritis and depression, understanding opioid dependence, nutrition in pain management, and arthritis in the bedroom. She has served as consulting correspondent for the UPN and Telemundo networks as well as national satellite tour with Eric Estrada for the “Attack Arthritis” campaign with Pfizer.
She lives in Sugarland, Texas. - Length (mins) 10

Guest Bio
After spending time in research and practice of “chemical-based” medicine and not happy with the possibilities that could be achieved by single chemical pharmaceuticals in health restoration, Dr. Nyjon Eccles decided to expand and develop his longstanding interest in Nutritional Medicine.
This journey took him to the Czech Republic, Spain, India and the USA, where he studied with pioneering doctors who’s broader approach, over and above relief of symptoms, was achieving dramatic restoration of health using nutrients, phytochemicals and electromagnetic medicine. His observation of cancer remissions led him to develop this area as a special interest.
Over the years he has developed specific and powerful nutritional programs for restoration of cellular health. These therapies he offers formerly at the Chiron Clinic, which he set up in 1998 and now at The Natural Doctor since 2010.
He is pioneering the introduction to the UK of Medical Infrared Thermal Imaging for very early non-invasive detection of breast cancer and screening of musculoskeletal disorders. He states, “Earlier detection in younger women by Thermography gives us an unprecedented opportunity to stem the tide of increasing breast cancer occurrence. Thermal abnormalities indicative of increased risk can then be reversed by the correct attention to lifestyle, nutrition and lymph detoxification.” In 2014 he has now co-developed a computer-assisted Breast Thermal Image system, which is to be Franchised and is Patent-pending.
He is one of the leading Integrated Medicine Physicians in the UK and has a reputation for his practice of evidence-based Integrated Medicine. He is actively involved in conducting controlled Clinical trials to validate a variety of nutritional and magnetic therapies. His research and reviews appear regularly in peer-reviewed Medical journals. He is also an expert on Stress assessment by Heart Rate Variability measurements, having written extensively on the subject and has helped to develop bespoke corporate programs for objective stress measurement. He has further expertise in Magnetic Medicine and has pioneered research in this area in the UK over the last 10 years. His research led to the first ever magnetic product being given Drug Tariff approval in March 2006. His more recent work with one of these magnetic products, LadyCare, that significantly relieves menopause symptoms has led to discovery of a novel mechanism of action; a world patent on this discovery is also pending.
In an attempt to help people to alter their disease risks, he lectures regularly on topics such as “Natural Cancer support,” “Food as Medicine,” “Breast Health and Nutrition,” “Prostate Health and Nutrition,” “Clinical Thermography” and “Metabolic Health.” He is in great demand as a public speaker, increasingly being asked to appear on radio and TV for his expert opinion on Complementary and Natural Medicine.
From his research work with nutrients in cancer he has discovered a range of them that make normal cells perform better and these formulas have a unique application in Anti-Ageing Medicine. His work in the cancer field has led him to help set up a charity called CHART (Cancer Healing And Research Trust www.naturalcancerhealing.org ) to help guide people to which natural remedies really do seem to work as well as helping to create access to these.
From his work around breast thermal imaging and early breast cancer detection, he became more involved in helping to provide natural solutions for women’s health issues which include Natural Menopause relief (as above), Bio-identical hormones and Natural Anti-Ageing cosmetic solutions. He has developed novel Well man and Well woman programs based on earlier detection of imbalances using blood, urine and saliva tests in conjunction with cutting edge assessments of autonomic nervous system imbalance (using HRV), and early heart electrical abnormalities. More recently, he has developed a unique natural regime for fat loss; the basis of a new collaborative program with Personal Trainers.
He is acknowledged in Who’s Who in the World, 2010, 2011, 2012 and Who’s Who in Medicine & Healthcare, 2011-2012 for outstanding contributions in the Medical field. He is also listed in Great Minds of the 21st Century, limited to 1,000 entries, 5th Edition. Last year, 2011, he received a Medical Science Award of Excellence for Natural Medicine Research. - Length (mins) 10
