Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks Barb, I think we need to start a list for good labs. Ever since Esoterix was absorbed by LabCorp, we've been at a disadvantage. Our experience with Esoterix was that they would test for a lot more drug sensititivities than the chain labs do. I'll start a folder in the files or links section. Another tip. If your doc works with a teaching hospital, their labs often do more thorough testing (and they're local). penny Barb Peck <egroups1bp@...> wrote: I used this lab for my Babesia blood smear.They're a reference lab- and from their index, they look like they offer alot of services. Their section on microbiology testing is pretty long.http://www.focusdx.com/focus/1-reference_laboratory/index.aspCheck 'em out.Barb RE: [infections] Re: immunology of whipples diseaseWasn't thinking of blood Barb, What I'm looking for is direct identification , microscope or other ,staining etc; I have a biopsy sample that was took to test for a fungal infection .No fungi were found , but the inflammed area from where the tissue sample was taken still responds to a/F creams .. That together with my reaction to oral none systemic A'F's really is the basis of my belief that AF's are effective against nano {CWD} bacteria .. Seems reasonable to me ...So who do you think could recognise CWD bac from a swab any leads..-----Original Message-----From: infections [mailto:infections ]On Behalf Of Barb PeckSent: 10 July 2006 20:26infections Subject: [infections] Re: immunology of whipples diseaseIf you send whole blood you can't fake it...A Human RBC is 7 microns in diameter- horse RBC diameter is much larger.. not sure what a dogs is..Barb>> Hello , NASH & mesenteric , i knew there must be a name....I think> the link is very strong with poor gut flora but getting a profile is a> uphill task .

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Anyone know which lab Shoemaker's using these days? He's the doc who found Esoterix in Texas, before they were bought out. penny > > > > Hello , NASH & mesenteric , i knew there must be a > name....I think > > the link is very strong with poor gut flora but getting a profile > is a > > uphill task .
