Dr. Nafysa Parpia breaks down why people with chronic Lyme, mold illness, long COVID, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue are so susceptible to mast cell activation syndrome. She explains how infections, toxins, trauma, structural issues, and lifestyle factors create immune dysregulation that becomes self-perpetuating through the cell danger response. Dr. Parpia outlines her clinical approach—calming mast cells, supporting parasympathetic healing, preparing detox pathways, and layering in detox and antimicrobial treatment—along with how peptides can speed recovery in highly sensitive patients.

Nafysa Parpia, ND, has an independent practice at Gordon Medical Associates, specializing in the treatment of Lyme disease and other complex chronic illnesses such as autoimmunity, mold toxicity, fibromyalgia, environmental toxicity, and gastrointestinal disorders. Her patients with chronic Lyme Disease are typically those who either do not do well with antibiotics or prefer the biological medicine approach to treatment, including a combination of antibiotics and detoxification methods. Over the years of treating these illnesses, she discovered the same methods used with essentially healthy people fostered increased vitality and slowing down of the aging process, leading her to include specialization in health optimization and regenerative medicine.
