He who experiences the unity of life, sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings, in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye — The Buddha

Early in her life, Marizelle was curious about the art and craft of medicine. Inspired by her heritage of Peruvian tradition, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Anthropology. With a mix of the two, Anthropology and Medicine, Marizelle concentrated on learning about ancient traditions of food, medicine, shamanism, behavior, herbs, and the sustainability of many world cultures.

Naturopathic medicine connected her two passions. It allowed her to continue enhancing her knowledge on all cultures view on health as well as be able to apply the knowledge to everyday people.

“My philosophy consists of classic Naturopathy and Anthropology. Important to me is teaching people the need to get in touch with their ancestry which has such a great impact in their everyday life. I also feel that it is my job to expose people to as much knowledge as I have learned. I hope for everyone to learn to support companies and farms that keep the Earth healthy as well as to learn the way of sustainable living.”

“I am a guide to a better understanding of your body/mind/spirit, and together we can empower you and allow your body to heal and be connected to the world around you.”

TESTIMONIALS

After discovering I had polymyositis, which is a muscular dystrophy, I was desperate for answers. My rheumatologist recommended steroids but had no answers on how I got the disease or how to effectively treat it. Dr. Arce not only recommended natural remedies for the disease but also gave me a cogent explanation on how I got the disease. After just 4 weeks of a changed diet and natural supplements, I have shown dramatic improvement. – Ed, NY

I have been a patient of Dr. Arce for over 2 years. Initially I came to her to help me with my marathon training; she gave me some excellent nutritional advice to increase my stamina and endurance. She even showed me a better way to exercise to improve my stride and speed. During Dr. Arce’s first consultation, she immediately noticed a cyst right under my right collarbone. For as long as I can remember any doctor that noticed the cyst would simply tell me that it was a “lypoma” or a “fluid filled cyst” and that there is nothing that can be done unless I wanted to surgically remove it. Dr. Arce on the other hand immediately knew what it was and told me that what I needed to do to help my body get rid of it. Since she was so helpful with my marathon training I was committed to try and get rid of my cyst naturally even though it had been there for over 20 years. About 1 and half years after starting her regiment, listening to her suggestions on supplementation, and following a clean lifestyle, I am happy to say that my cyst is gone. It slowly decreased in size until one morning it sort of popped. My dermatologist had no comment. It goes with out saying that Dr Arce is my primary source of health information as well as my number one consultant. There is no health concern, in my opinion, that she has not been able to help me with in a very efficient and informative manner. Thank you very much Dr. A.  – Mike, West Village, NY

For several years I have had chronic UTI’s. I was on antibiotics at least once a month. The doctors treated and cleared the infection but never resolved the problem. Even when I was treated by an urologist I still had the recurrent infections. Frustrated and unable to permanently get rid of the problem, I searched for alternative medicines. On my first visit my condition was explained and I was told the cause of my problem. With a simple diet, treatment and understanding of my health, I have not been on any antibiotics for the past six months. [Dr. Arce’s] ability to target and remedy the problem is precise. She cleared the medical problems I have had since childhood, which no doctor or anyone else has ever noticed, remedied and cured. She oversees my entire family and I am truly grateful to have found her; for she knows so much and uses her knowledge to help her patients. In addition to my specific problems the most remarkable testimony comes from my mother’s condition. She was given a pacemaker and was on several medications. Her health deteriorated and she became too ill to travel. When she became stronger I brought her to Dr. Arce for a consultation. She was put under her care, my mother’s condition, improved with [supplementation] and diet. Dr. Arce knew the cause and the recommended treatment. At first I was dubious about it and worried and wondered for my mother. However, after three visits, my mother had no pain. Now she enjoys her good health, high energy, her excellent lab reports and she is off all prescription drugs. My oldest 13-year-old is another patient of Dr. Arce. Before she visited Dr. Arce, she had frequent asthma attacks, overweight, allergies and was pre-diabetic. With Dr.Arce’s recommendations, she continues to heal. She is now is even happier and feels much better physically, mentally, emotionally and even academically. Her grades have improved along with her concentration.  – Gina, Bayside, NY
