Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Everyone Does anyone on the TPA forum know of any Laboratory in Kent who will test for Lymes Disease. My Daughter's Doctor would like her tested for this. I have been in contact with Genova but unfortunately they do not do this test. Any help much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Barry, If this is early stage Lyme, then I highly recommend that your friend become familiar with the Diagnostic Hints and Treatment Guideline by Dr. ph Burrascano, MD which is posted on the ILADS website: http://www.ilads.org/lyme_disease/treatment_guidelines.html - (Scroll down to the 3rd item and click on it.) Next, find an experienced ILADS doctor who follows this protocol. The best way to find such a person is to post a request for a doctor referral list at LymeNet. Here's the link: http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi? It is important to treat early stage Lyme aggressively and thoroughly. Whatever your friend does, s/he should NOT consult an infectious disease specialist because this group of doctors does not believe in treating early stage Lyme disease thoroughly enough and you do not want to take a chance on incomplete treatment which can lead to late-stage Lyme disease. It is probably too late to expect that iodine would be adequate to keep the Lyme spirochetes from spreading past the site of the tick bite in the skin and into the blood stream since your friend is already experiencing symptoms. If it were really, really early stage Lyme without any symptoms other than the tick bite and rash, then taking really large doses of iodine several times a day might be sufficient to prevent it from becoming systemic, but it sounds to me as if that window of opportunity has already closed for your friend. There is no proven protocol for treating late-stage Lyme disease with iodine. There are also other tick-borne co-infections which must be tested for and treated if they are present. An experienced ILADS doctor will know how to test for and treat all of these co-infections also. > > a dear friend of mine has come down with lymes disease and is suffering terribly. does anyone know if iodine has been successful in treating this illness? is there a certain protocol? thanks, barry > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
