Episode notes
Sequence Peptides To Avoid Immune Flare Ups
- Sequence peptides carefully: modulate immune system and mast cells before pro-repair or antimicrobial peptides.
- Parpia uses lorazotide to seal gut, then mast-cell-targeted peptides (amlexinox, cromolyn variants), delaying LL37 or repair peptides until immune modulation is stable.
Releasing Anger Helped A Patient Regain Resilience
- A new patient with lifetime big-T traumas reported reduced sensitivity and regained boundaries after emotional work alongside medical care.
- Parpia recounts the patient saying releasing anger led to self-sovereignty and measurable symptom improvement.
Do Basic Labs And Replete Nutrients Before Deep Testing
- Start with foundational labs (CBC, CMP, thyroid, sex hormones, adrenal) and nutrient status before running extensive toxin panels.
- In Parpia's practice she still screens metals early because metals are common, but repletes nutrients and treats malabsorption before detox.
