Lyme/Rickettsia/Tick Diseases--Accurate Testing???

October 23, 2003

IGeneX has the most state of the art lyme testing. Their WB's for lyme are

second to none as they include two other bands no others use. If you want PCR

testing then they also have state of the art urine test that is spread over 3

days that increases your likelihood of finding Bb DNA, especially if provoked

by 1-2 abx challenge. Dr. of IGeneX suggests you start with WB's and

then proceed to LDA/PCR test I just mentioned if you want further proof. It's

very debatable as to how accurate antibody tests are but if you get a bunch of

+'s and you have a good LLMD analyzing test results it should be more easy to

tell what's going on. If you get pos on PCR then there's pretty much no

disupting it. I don't know about rhicketsia testing though. Just use simple

Labcorp or MDL maybe for those. I only did 10 days of 2 abx each month

beginning

in May. It helped me a bit more each and every time I did it. I am not

currently doing it but may return in the future. I stopped abx and also rife

for

several weeks now and have gotten considerably worse since.

Can someone tell me, if I test negative on Western Blot IgG and

IgM for Lyme... is that accurate? I've heard that these tests

are not accurate.

Where (name and phone number of labs) can I get Accurate

Lyme/Rickettsia/Tick Diseases done?

And, is there anyone who has got better from antibiotics?
