Guest Bio
Suzanne Robotti founded MedShadow Foundation in 2012 after two major health issues drove her to become engaged in patient advocacy. Robotti's mother, like millions of other pregnant women in the 50s, 60s and early 70s took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) to prevent miscarriage and early labor. It did neither and instead left the pregnant women, children and descendants at risk for rare cancers, reproductive organ abnormalities and other serious medical conditions.
In 2010, Robotti's son was prescribed Ritalin for ADHD, but when the doctor was unable to reference any studies on the long-term effects of the drug, she decided against it. This raised a concern in her that parents were not aware of the lack of studies and this is an issue of informed consent.
Soon after she decided to start MedShadow because so many people are not aware of the lack of information on the long-term effects of drugs. MedShadow is a means of raising the discussion of risks alongside benefits of medicines into the public discourse. - Length (mins) 27:12

Guest Bio
Nafysa Parpia, ND, is an independent practitioner working out of both the Santa Rosa and the Marin offices of Gordon Medical. Using a biological medicine approach, she works as a detective to discover and ultimately remove the underlying cause(s) of illness. At the same time, she helps to alleviate symptoms.
Dr. Parpia specializes in the treatment of Lyme disease and other complex chronic illnesses such as autoimmunity, mold toxicity, fibromyalgia, environmental toxicity and gastrointestinal disorders.
Functional and integrative medicine that is heart-centered guides how she treats her patients with complex chronic illness. Biochemical imbalances, epigenetic expression, toxin exposure, microbial exposure and emotional imbalance are often key in unraveling the mystery of and treating chronic illness. Each of these aspects is different for each patient. Thus, with compassionate listening and cutting-edge laboratory tests, she can create treatment plans that are highly individualistic and healing.
