Hi : I'm sorry this happened.

I don't have a referral; however you go to:

http://www.moldwarriors.com/PDFs/NTordersheet.pdf

for a list of tests Dr. Shoemaker uses along with the correct lab

codes. This might help your physician if you cannot locate another

one.

,

My son's blood was drawn at a local hospital in a tiny town in Colorado and

shipped to the Quest lab in Baltimore. I know the lab here called Quest to get

the correct codes before shipping but we were able to do it locally...and the

hospital lab isn't Quest and is very small (one-story hospital and about 4,000

residents). So I'm sure it can be done if you get the lab manager on the case

and deal directly with that person. Also, we did the swab for the nasal culture

ourselves and mailed it to Dr. Shoemaker's office.

Hope that helps,

The Qwest tests I had were done by Qwest on Demand, which may be a

separate thing. Perhaps 'on Demand' part does some tests at doctors

request that they don't routinely do. Don't know but you could

check that out. My MSH test and others were done by Lab Corp of

America: BN LabCorp Burlington, NC.

Thanks Rosie -

Couldn't remember where I got those. Cronicneurotoxins.com has

different ones, and when I was attempting to fax something to one of

the labs, I figured out that I was really confused myself! Thanks

again for the URL...hopefully I can find something local.

The Quest codes vary from area to area. If you call the Baltimore

office at 800 722-7393 they can be helpful. I spoke with someone

before her at their national number who had no idea which tests I

meant, but when I called Baltimore, everything added up. (I spoke with

a woman at that number named who clearly deserves a medal for

helping me sort out my confusion.)

I don't know why they (Quest) have not standardized the codes, its

VERY confusing.
