I would like to credit Dr. Farkas with helping save my life. Let me further explain. In order to understand how he helped me, you need to know a little bit about myself. I am a very driven person who finds passion in everything I do. I am very active and very motivated to accomplish new goals. In June of 2023, I was learning how to be a new dad and training for a full ironman. I was in great shape and my energy levels were very high. All the sudden, that came to a screeching halt. I became very sick. I had major GI symptoms that further lead to neurological symptoms. I met with my primary doctor in order to get answers. He ordered every test that he possibly could including labs and scans of my entire body. He also referred me to a neurologist, infectious disease doctor, and GI doctor. Frustration began to grow with me because every test was coming back normal and I still had no answers as to why I was feeling the way I was. I had several doctors tell me it was anxiety and there was nothing else there. I began to lose weight rapidly and lost interest in everything that I was passionate about. I became so weak that I could barely walk or even pick up my daughter. I was left wondering how in the world did I go from biking 4 hours and running 2 hours to barely being able to get off the couch. I was talking to my wife one evening and we both agreed it was time to seek out a holistic doctor and try to figure out what was going on. My wife looked online and found Dr. Farkas. I called the following day and the receptionist on the phone offered me hope and reassured me that they would be able to help me with my problem. I moved forward to meet with Dr. Farkas and knew right away that this would be a good fit. Our conversation lasted an hour and he provided more information to me than any other doctor prior did. He ordered a stool test and food sensitivity test. I completed both test and the results came back fairly quickly. I met with Dr. Farkas again and we went over all the test results. It showed that I had food sensitivities to close to 20 different foods. The most concerning was the stool test showed a massive bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine that was so severe that it was causing my pancreas to not work properly. It also led to a severe malabsorption issue and I was not absorbing any nutrients. This would explain my neurological symptoms. These were the answers I needed and finally understood that there was something there all along. We began treatment in early September and by mid-October I felt like I got my life back. I could run around and play with my daughter. I could enjoy food again and not get sick every time I ate. I could start exercising and taking care of myself again. Most of all, I could be a good husband to my wife and be present whenever she needed me. The road to get here was not easy. There will have to be sacrifices on your part as well. You will need to follow the diet recommendations as well. It may be hard at first but becomes more enjoyable as time goes on. It also makes a huge difference in your treatment outcomes. I was cured through good diet and supplementation. No drugs that could potentially harm my body further. Dr. Farkas helped me understand the why behind all of this and that is why I credit him to saving my life. If you or anyone you know has tried the other route and are still searching for answers, then I believe that he would be a good fit for you. Again, thank you Dr. Farkas for all that you do and helping me get my life back.
