Dr. Gurdev Parmar is a leader in the field of integrative naturopathic cancer care. He is the co-founder and medical director of the largest integrated health care facility in Canada, the Integrated Health Clinic (IHC). He is licensed in both British Columbia, Canada and Washington State, USA. Dr. Parmar works closely with oncologists the world over to create the best possible outcome for each patient. The IHC was chosen as one of seven original clinics in North America to participate in the Canadian and U.S. Integrative Oncology Study (CUSIOS), an ongoing, multi-clinic, prospective trial. Dr. Parmar has also completed an eight-year retrospective study on his treatment approach, which has been presented internationally, and is currently being published by Cambridge Scholars.
Dr. Parmar is an affiliate residency director and primary teaching supervisor of a naturopathic oncology residency, and the IHC is a CNME-approved post-doctoral training facility for Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Parmar spearheaded the establishment of hyperthermia in Canada in 2009, the culmination of a two and half year process to obtain Health Canada approval. In 2018, he was nominated President of the International Clinical Hyperthermia Society (ICHS). He has served on numerous boards and was appointed as a member of the OncANP Delphi Panel, an elite team of naturopathic oncologists whose mission was to create a new practice consensus. The resulting document, published in the peer-reviewed Integrative Cancer Therapies journal, lays out the guidelines for future clinical trial research in naturopathic and integrative oncology. Dr. Parmar writes and lectures internationally on a wide variety of topics, including clinical hyperthermia, the tumour microenvironment, and integrative cancer care.
