Stories that changed everything

Brad Curtis

We came to Brain Camp because of what Dr. Eckel had to say. So much of what he shared along the way was exactly what we had already heard and experienced, it was like hitting the nail on the head. When you’re diagnosed with Parkinson’s, you’re often given a lot of doom and gloom, and that can make every doctor’s appointment feel overwhelming. We had even traveled from Maine to Boston for DBS, and initially felt very hopeful about it. But eventually, we reached a point where we were being told there wasn’t much more that could be done. That’s what made us want to look beyond the traditional approach and find another path. Our experience at Brain Camp has given us hope and a different perspective. We came knowing that we might not see dramatic changes in just one week, and we weren’t expecting something we’ve lived with for years to simply disappear overnight. We’re taking it one step at a time and looking forward to seeing what happens over the coming months. We would absolutely recommend Brain Camp to others living with Parkinson’s. The experience has been worthwhile, and we’re grateful we decided to come.

I decided to come to Brain Camp because I felt like I was pretty much at the end of the road with Western medicine. My doctor literally crossed their arms and said, “What do you want me to do for you? There’s nothing I can do.” I knew there had to be something else out there, so I started looking. At first, I wondered if Brain Camp was really the real deal, so I did my homework. I listened to Dr. Eckel, shared the website with my family, and asked my brother, “Is this guy for real?” He said, “All we can do is call and find out.” So that’s what we did. After talking with Julie and going through the blood work and the process, we decided to take the leap. Getting here was a journey in itself. There were financial hurdles and plenty of hoops to jump through, but we found a way to make it happen. By the time you finally arrive, you realize what a big deal it really is. Once I got here, the staff absolutely impressed me. I would give them 150 percent. I used to hire people for the county, so I know how hard it is to find people who genuinely care about their work and love what they do. The team here is exceptional. The facility is great, and the accommodations are comfortable, peaceful, and calming. I would absolutely recommend Brain Camp to others with Parkinson’s. If you’re feeling like you’ve run out of options, I think it’s worth doing your research, asking questions, and finding out what might be possible for you. For me, taking that step was a big deal, and I’m very glad I did.

I had been researching stem cell replacement for Parkinson’s for about six months when I came across BrainCamp through Facebook. After doing more research and listening to Dr. Eckel’s commentary, I found myself drawn more and more to the approach and realized that it really spoke to me. My experience at BrainCamp has been top-notch. The treatments, staff, and overall experience have all been wonderful. I had already been involved with bVital for several months before arriving, and I truly felt supported even before I physically walked through the door. There have been a couple of hiccups along the way, as there are with anything, especially when coordinating a remote team, but when I look at the big picture, my experience has been wonderful. I’ve already noticed some encouraging changes. My voice has gotten stronger, which is significant because at times I had been reduced to almost a whisper. My gait has also improved, along with the benefits I’ve experienced from supplements and the mind-body approach. I would absolutely recommend BrainCamp to anyone else with Parkinson’s. 100%!

This past week, I attended Dr. Greg Eckel’s Brain Camp in Park City,Utah. I cannot speak highly enough of the Eckel Protcol which focuses on identifying and correcting problem areas exacerbating Parkinson’s before even registering for Park City. Additionally, diet and exercise are key. The one week program provides optimism for the first time in years. The doctors have training in both Western and Eastern healing modalities and were phenomenal. The Brain Camp is truly designed for patients like me who have been trying to combat PD symptoms but are being told by well intentioned neurologists to take a pill or pills and return in 3 months . This is an investment in health you will not regret.

I decided to come to Brain Camp because I have a movement tremor that has made it very difficult for me to feed myself and even write by hand. I had already been diagnosed with an essential tremor, but a neurologist recently told me I might be developing Parkinson’s as well. I heard about Dr. Eckel and Brain Camp on Facebook and decided to learn more. My experience this week has been absolutely amazing. The entire staff has been loving, kind, and extremely informative. I’m not used to receiving that kind of care with regular medical treatment, so it really stood out to me. This wasn’t just a treatment experience—it was also an education and enrichment experience. I would absolutely recommend Brain Camp to others. I’ve already met someone who may benefit from the program, and I’m planning to share the information with them. I’m so glad I came and very grateful for the care and support I received this week.

My week at BrainCamp was fantastic. The staff was absolutely awesome—I didn’t experience a single hiccup from anyone. Everything was organized, on time, and ran like clockwork. If you’re supposed to be somewhere at noon, you better be there at noon! Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the beautiful surroundings made the experience even better. I originally found BrainCamp through Facebook while researching Parkinson’s after my diagnosis. I watched one of Dr. Eckel’s webinars, liked what I heard, and started looking into the program more. Because my symptoms are still relatively early, I decided I wanted to be proactive and address things now rather than wait for progression. I’ve already noticed some positive changes. I’ve had ongoing knee problems, and my knee seems to be feeling better. I also feel like my eyesight has improved a little since my first Vsel. Overall, I’m very glad I made the decision to come to BrainCamp. The staff, treatments, organization, and entire experience have been fantastic. I’m looking forward to continuing the work and seeing what changes come with time.

I came to Thrive Camp not knowing exactly what to expect. I had read both of Dr. Eckel’s books, but I wasn’t sure how I would fit in as a spouse. I quickly realized how valuable the experience would be—not only to support my husband, but to better understand what he’s going through and learn how I can support him in the future. The experience was amazing and gave me a completely different mindset about how we’re going to approach the future. I learned so much about how food, exercise, mindset, and our environment can affect our health. The testing was some of the most extensive I’ve ever experienced, and I was amazed by what we learned from it. One of my biggest takeaways was learning to believe that the body has the ability to heal when we remove the barriers that may be holding it back. I also learned how important it is to surround yourself with the right people and environment. I would absolutely recommend Thrive Camp—not just to spouses or patients, but to anyone interested in taking a deeper look at their health and longevity. I’m incredibly grateful for everything I learned here.

I came to Brain Camp after spending time reading about Dr. Eckel’s work and researching his approach to Parkinson’s. As someone with a science background, I was especially drawn to the idea that Parkinson’s isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all condition and that there are different factors and types to consider. The information I found was genuinely hopeful and made sense to me, so I followed that path, completed the assessments, and ultimately decided to take a leap of faith and come to Brain Camp. When we arrived, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. There was some uncertainty and skepticism, but we kept moving forward. Then, walking into Brain Camp and seeing other people who had also taken that leap of faith was incredibly reassuring. From orientation with Dr. Bernard to meeting the staff and experiencing the different treatments, we have been blown away by the professionalism, compassion, and care. I’ve been especially impressed by how many different therapies are incorporated into the overall healing process. It has been an eye-opening and encouraging experience. I would absolutely recommend Brain Camp to others with Parkinson’s who are looking for hope and a different approach.

My week here went very well. I felt that the treatments were excellent, and at no point did it feel like a scam, which can sometimes be a concern with things you see online. I appreciated the honest approach: there’s no claim of a cure, just a thoughtful effort to throw as much as possible at the problem to help. I would definitely recommend this center to someone else with Parkinson’s. If you’re coming, I’d suggest staying at the Park Regency Hotel—or the nearby Sheraton—so you can easily walk back and forth. That convenience makes a big difference. What led me here was a progression: I first came across Dr. Eichel on Instagram, followed his work, went through the intake process, completed testing at home, and then came to the center. It all felt like a natural progression. My advice to anyone considering it is this: if you can afford it, come here, relax, and try to enjoy the experience. The people here are very good, and I’m grateful for the care I received.

From the very beginning, my experience with this center has been outstanding. Communication has been excellent every step of the way—consistent follow-ups, clear emails, helpful links, and quick answers to any questions I had. I always knew who to contact, why they were reaching out, and how to get back to the right person, which made the entire process feel organized and supportive. The care team here is incredibly thorough and professional. They take the time to explain what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, which builds a lot of trust. I’ve especially appreciated the focus on whole-body health, including gut health and inflammation, and how clearly everything is connected and explained. I came across this center through Instagram while researching Parkinson’s-related information, and what I heard aligned exactly with what I’d been reading elsewhere. After doing my own research, reading Dr. Eccles’ book, and seeing the reviews, I felt confident this was the right place—and I was right. I would absolutely recommend this center to others, especially those dealing with Parkinson’s or looking for proactive, preventative care. My advice to new patients would be to come in with an open mind, fully embrace the experience, and trust the process. This team truly cares, and it shows. Lon

Our experience at the center has been awesome so far. The staff is courteous, caring, and compassionate — truly the three C’s — and I would also add that they are extremely thorough. There’s a very clear science behind what they do. It’s not random or improvised; there’s a well-defined protocol, and you can connect the dots. You can tell there’s real knowledge and intention behind every step. We’ve already noticed improvements. My foot is working better, and last night I walked to get dinner at the hotel without dragging my foot at all — which is a big deal for me. I even took the stairs. That alone felt like real progress. What made us decide to come was looking at a different approach than what we’d been hearing from neurologists. After attending the zooms and webinars and speaking with Dr. Eckel, it just made sense to us. We appreciated having a broader perspective and options. We’ve dealt with MRIs, scans, and conflicting opinions, so exploring something proactive felt right. We would absolutely recommend this center to everyone.” If you’re considering it, advice is simple: get on the plane. “- Jeffrey

I decided to come to the center after hearing Dr. Eckel’s fundamental breakdown of how Vsels are derived and incorporated into the brain. His explanation made sense, was thorough, and gave me confidence in the science behind the process. I honestly wasn’t expecting to notice anything for at least a couple of months. However, by the second day I experienced an improvement in my sense of smell. By the third day, I had more mobility in my left arm and noticeably less shaking. That was incredibly encouraging. My sense of smell had been significantly degraded, and suddenly I could clearly smell something in the other room that I normally wouldn’t have noticed. That change alone gave me hope. I’m taking this one day at a time, but so far the experience has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Eckel and his staff. If you’re contemplating it and questioning your decision—don’t. Do your research, of course, but understand that the Eckel protocol is specifically designed to enhance the implementation of the stem cells (Vsels). If you want the best possible chance for the process to work, this is the place.

My experience at the center this week has been amazing. The entire team is highly coordinated — everyone clearly understands their responsibilities, and that makes a big difference in how smoothly everything runs. Each staff member has been polite, empathetic, and genuinely caring. When you’re dealing with Parkinson’s, which affects you emotionally in ways only those who experience it can truly understand, compassion really matters. I’ve felt that compassion here. This is my first time undergoing this kind of treatment, and working with multiple team members could have felt overwhelming, but the staff made it a very positive experience. I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Eckel early in the week, and I was very impressed. The physical therapy has been especially remarkable — the therapist didn’t take a superficial approach but instead went deeper, with an attention to detail that’s hard to find elsewhere. That level of thoroughness and dedication truly stands out. If I could offer one small piece of constructive feedback, it would be regarding scheduling. During the first few days, sessions started about 10–15 minutes later than scheduled. However, this improved significantly yesterday and today, and I appreciate that progress. Overall, I sincerely hope this center continues to grow and achieve positive results for many more people. The care, coordination, and attention to detail here are impressive. Unlike High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), where results can be immediate, the team here clearly acknowledges that this treatment follows more of a marathon approach. I am really looking forward to seeing the results unfold over the coming days, weeks, and months.

bVital is the epitome of a caring, dedicated, transformational health and wellness experience. They care deeply about each and every patient AND family member. My dad who has Parkinson’s found bVital, and after one call with them we knew THIS was the place to go for any hope of him healing his body. The experience here for brain camp this week is unparalleled. My dad could only shuffle slowly with his walker when we came in Monday. By Wednesday, he was back to walking successfully with his cane!! His voice is stronger and he even cut his own food this morning. We are looking forward to seeing continued progress as we move through the next few months. Yes, it is an investment. But, for the cost of a month and a half in the nursing home, my dad just bought himself months of progress!! We’re watching it unfold before our eyes, and the improvement has only just begun. We love everyone at bVital, and are SO THANKFUL for Dr. Ekel and his wife, Kitty. They are changing lives!!! Thank you everyone!!

My husband, Cyril, and I are attending BrainCamp with Dr. Eckel and the incredible team at bVital, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. Cyril is living with advanced Parkinson’s disease, and after just one treatment, we witnessed improvements that gave us real hope. His speech became noticeably clearer, and for the first time in a long time, he was able to put on his own shoes independently. Those may seem like small victories to others, but to us they are life-changing moments. Beyond the treatment itself, the compassion, knowledge, and encouragement from Dr. Eckel and the entire staff have made us feel supported every step of the way. They genuinely care about each person who walks through their doors and are committed to helping people improve their quality of life. We know this is just the beginning of our journey, but the progress we’ve already seen has exceeded our expectations. We are grateful to everyone at bVital and highly recommend BrainCamp to anyone looking for innovative care and renewed hope

My wife was the one who found Brain Camp after spending countless hours researching Parkinson’s treatment options. After my diagnosis, I didn’t want to spend my time reading worst-case stories online—I wanted to focus on living my life and continuing to run my businesses. She discovered Dr. Eckel and Brain Camp through videos and online research, and what stood out was the genuine hope and passion behind the program. Unlike our experience with traditional neurology, where we were simply given medication and told to come back in six months, Brain Camp looks for the underlying causes and offers a comprehensive approach to improving health. Throughout the week, we’ve learned so much and have appreciated being surrounded by others on the same journey. The staff has been caring, encouraging, and knowledgeable, and it’s refreshing to be somewhere that believes there’s more that can be done than just managing symptoms. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares and is willing to think beyond the standard approach, I highly recommend Brain Camp.

My week here went very well. I felt that the treatments were excellent, and at no point did it feel like a scam, which can sometimes be a concern with things you see online. I appreciated the honest approach: there’s no claim of a cure, just a thoughtful effort to throw as much as possible at the problem to help. I would definitely recommend this center to someone else with Parkinson’s. If you’re coming, I’d suggest staying at the Park Regency Hotel—or the nearby Sheraton—so you can easily walk back and forth. That convenience makes a big difference. What led me here was a progression: I first came across Dr. Eichel on Instagram, followed his work, went through the intake process, completed testing at home, and then came to the center. It all felt like a natural progression. My advice to anyone considering it is this: if you can afford it, come here, relax, and try to enjoy the experience. The people here are very good, and I’m grateful for the care I received.

From the very beginning, my experience with this center has been outstanding. Communication has been excellent every step of the way—consistent follow-ups, clear emails, helpful links, and quick answers to any questions I had. I always knew who to contact, why they were reaching out, and how to get back to the right person, which made the entire process feel organized and supportive. The care team here is incredibly thorough and professional. They take the time to explain what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, which builds a lot of trust. I’ve especially appreciated the focus on whole-body health, including gut health and inflammation, and how clearly everything is connected and explained. I came across this center through Instagram while researching Parkinson’s-related information, and what I heard aligned exactly with what I’d been reading elsewhere. After doing my own research, reading Dr. Eccles’ book, and seeing the reviews, I felt confident this was the right place—and I was right. I would absolutely recommend this center to others, especially those dealing with Parkinson’s or looking for proactive, preventative care. My advice to new patients would be to come in with an open mind, fully embrace the experience, and trust the process. This team truly cares, and it shows. Lon

Our experience at the center this week has been outstanding. The office staff and entire team have been incredibly supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. You can tell everyone truly enjoys being there, and that energy makes a big difference. We decided to come after reading about the center online, and what Dr. Eckel had to say—especially regarding Parkinson’s—really stood out to us. While it’s still early and we haven’t noticed changes yet, we feel confident we made the right decision. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this center to anyone exploring treatment options for Parkinson’s or looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate team.

Our experience at the center has been awesome so far. The staff is courteous, caring, and compassionate — truly the three C’s — and I would also add that they are extremely thorough. There’s a very clear science behind what they do. It’s not random or improvised; there’s a well-defined protocol, and you can connect the dots. You can tell there’s real knowledge and intention behind every step. We’ve already noticed improvements. My foot is working better, and last night I walked to get dinner at the hotel without dragging my foot at all — which is a big deal for me. I even took the stairs. That alone felt like real progress. What made us decide to come was looking at a different approach than what we’d been hearing from neurologists. After attending the zooms and webinars and speaking with Dr. Eckel, it just made sense to us. We appreciated having a broader perspective and options. We’ve dealt with MRIs, scans, and conflicting opinions, so exploring something proactive felt right. We would absolutely recommend this center to everyone.” If you’re considering it, advice is simple: get on the plane. “- Jeffrey

I decided to come to the center after hearing Dr. Eckel’s fundamental breakdown of how Vsels are derived and incorporated into the brain. His explanation made sense, was thorough, and gave me confidence in the science behind the process. I honestly wasn’t expecting to notice anything for at least a couple of months. However, by the second day I experienced an improvement in my sense of smell. By the third day, I had more mobility in my left arm and noticeably less shaking. That was incredibly encouraging. My sense of smell had been significantly degraded, and suddenly I could clearly smell something in the other room that I normally wouldn’t have noticed. That change alone gave me hope. I’m taking this one day at a time, but so far the experience has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Eckel and his staff. If you’re contemplating it and questioning your decision—don’t. Do your research, of course, but understand that the Eckel protocol is specifically designed to enhance the implementation of the stem cells (Vsels). If you want the best possible chance for the process to work, this is the place.

My experience at the center this week has been amazing. The entire team is highly coordinated — everyone clearly understands their responsibilities, and that makes a big difference in how smoothly everything runs. Each staff member has been polite, empathetic, and genuinely caring. When you’re dealing with Parkinson’s, which affects you emotionally in ways only those who experience it can truly understand, compassion really matters. I’ve felt that compassion here. This is my first time undergoing this kind of treatment, and working with multiple team members could have felt overwhelming, but the staff made it a very positive experience. I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Eckel early in the week, and I was very impressed. The physical therapy has been especially remarkable — the therapist didn’t take a superficial approach but instead went deeper, with an attention to detail that’s hard to find elsewhere. That level of thoroughness and dedication truly stands out. If I could offer one small piece of constructive feedback, it would be regarding scheduling. During the first few days, sessions started about 10–15 minutes later than scheduled. However, this improved significantly yesterday and today, and I appreciate that progress. Overall, I sincerely hope this center continues to grow and achieve positive results for many more people. The care, coordination, and attention to detail here are impressive. Unlike High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), where results can be immediate, the team here clearly acknowledges that this treatment follows more of a marathon approach. I am really looking forward to seeing the results unfold over the coming days, weeks, and months.

About the provider

Why People Choose Dr. Greg Eckel, N.D.

Dr. Greg Eckel did not set out to work in brain health. It began years ago with a four-year-old student whose spark faded after he was put on medication, and a conviction that there had to be a better way. That question carried Dr. Eckel through naturopathic and Chinese medical training at the National University of Natural Medicine and two decades of integrative practice, including a term as president of the Oregon Board of Naturopathic Medicine.

Then it became personal. He lost his wife, Sarieah, to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and fatal neurodegenerative condition, and found that the medical system had almost nothing to offer. Her loss became his life’s work, leading him into the emerging science of neuroregeneration, frequency medicine, and regenerative therapies, and eventually to The Eckel Protocol®: Detect, Correct, Thrive.
In 2022 he founded bVital in Park City, where he now works with people living with Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative conditions who have been told there is nothing left to try.
