Description
Dr. Parpia practices at Amitabha Clinic. For more information on on her practice, visit: http://www.amitabhaclinic.com/ Welcome! I have a general practice in diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions. My passion is in providing holistic care to patients who have complex chronic conditions. I specialize in integrative cancer care, Lyme disease and environmental toxicity. Conditions I treat in my general practice include:
• Autoimmunity
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Neurological disorders
• Anxiety
• Hormonal imbalances
• Ageing gracefully
• Pain
• Fatigue
• Diabetes
• Overweight/Obesity through Ayurvedic weight loss programs
• Prevention
• Colds, flu
I take into account all aspects of my patient’s lives and health as a unique whole, addressing physical symptoms and also the mental, emotional or spiritual aspects of life that may affect or be affected by their condition. Using my clinical expertise I work as a detective to discover and ultimately remove the underlying cause(s), while at the same time helping to alleviate symptoms.
I use a variety of modalities including functional nutrition, oral and intravenous micronutrient therapy, botanical medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle counseling, neural therapy, neural prolotherapy, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, detoxification programs and yoga therapy.

Can Microbes in the Gut Influence the Brain?
Healing your GI system is key in helping to balance your mental and emotional state. Four ways that GI microbes are in communication with your brain are: 1. Directly through your vagus nerve - the main nerve driving the connection of nerve networks between your GI system and brain. 2. Through circulating immune cells that are first primed in your GI system and then travel to the brain. 3. Possibly metabolites that are produced by GI microbes which enter the blood and circulate to regions of the brain where they affect behavior. 4. Your GI bacteria produce about 95% of your body's serotonin.
