You know what, I think you're right, I was a bit harsh. I think it was the combination of her constantly referring to "chronic fatigue" and "Dr. Jill" which got to me, and I was tired. But I really don't know anything about her apart from those 2 things, and she very well could be a good doctor -- my apologies --@Mary: Bit harsh, she is a good doctor afaik, at least better than the typical/useless MD.
Dr Parpia does not appear to be a medical doctor.
Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine, Bastyr University, 2012
Anyone?
Well, thats a college in San Diego: described briefly online as follows-
Bastyr is a fantastic science-based institution for alternative medicine! The professors and degree programs are top-notch! My only criticism is with the offices (like financial, IT, admissions), you really have to advocate for yourself to get things done.
Sounds like they can write Prescriptions....And sounds like alot of training thats probably very good. Like nutritional support.
