| - From a young age, I was submerged in the medical system due to some unfamiliar ailments and symptoms after an overseas mission trip. Beginning at age 17, I spent nearly every day of the rest of my high school experience at Mayo clinic. I saw nearly every kind of specialist. Was poked with more needles than I can count. Written more pain pill prescriptions than is healthy. (don't worry, I didn't take them) I was run through nearly every test imaginable. That is, every test except for the ones I requested. I was nothing more than a test specimen. I didn't fit in their trick box of diagnosis, so therefore, the doctors simply told me the issue was in my head. Desperate to find the source and solution to my sickness I even saw a psychiatrist. However, the psychiatrist quickly dismissed any option of it being a mental issue.
Drained of blood, from endless blood tests, and hope of ever being healed, I had complete distrust for any doctor and the medical system all together. I set out to simply live as healthy as one could. I was determined to get the most out of life in spite of constant pain and lethargy. Focused on nutritional medicine, I spent the next several years researching and implementing the healthiest lifestyle I could come up with. Pain was something I could tolerate.
With such a limited diet, and more travels abroad for education, I was extremely thin and became concerned my body was beginning to shut down. So, I saw a nutritionist. She recommended I get some tests run, but with my mistrust for our medical system I ask if she at least had a Naturopath she could recommend. "Ironically" she had one. She had met Dr. McCarthy the day prior to me seeing her, uncanny timing if I do say so myself. That week, with my novel of a medical history, I went to Protea to see Dr. McCarthy. With a true level of care and interest to see me healthy, he went through every page of my medical reports. He spent time getting to know me as an individual and as a patient. He cast a wide net and was willing to think outside of the tight box other medical practices are refined to. Sure enough, he quickly discovered a bacteria that could have killed me prior to finding it.
At age 21, under the care of Dr. McCarthy I began long road to healing and getting my body back to health. My body had shut down every non vital function in order to focus on staying alive, particularly hormone production. He has worked to get my hormones back to their peak levels and ensure I am not masking symptoms but am truly healthy. He is unlike any doctor I have ever encountered (which is a lot) and has a genuine concern for individual's wellbeing. I can highly recommend and attest to his level of care within his practice. He will be my doctor for life.
