Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 , A lot of times it is a mystery, as the current labs are not able to tell the whole story. You get a partial truth here and there and try to put them together for a better picture and treatment plan. There are different schools of thoughts on this as well. Per Dr. JS, the patients can have different combinations of multiple infections including having some or all of the coinfections without actually contracting Lyme. However, Dr. JB's view on this is very different. He believes that if a patient has been tested positive for many coinfectors, one should think that " It is always Lyme. " His thinking is this: Only because Borrelia was there at the first place to impair the immune system to certain extent, did some or all coinfectors have the chances to proliferate without the equitable checking of the immune system. You see, even among the Lyme literate doctors, there has not been a consensus on this subject. Did you do IGeneX Western Blot for Lyme and coinfection panel? When you say " nothing at all " , do you mean all IgG and IgM bands are negative?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks Limin for the reply, On the Igenex test I did do the western blot and coinfections and both IGG and IGM bands were negative nothing remarkable. > > , > > A lot of times it is a mystery, as the current labs are not able to tell the > whole story.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 : I recently did testing on my daughter on another lab. But all of her immune responses were quite low, so I think her immune system is just still too low to show a reaction to anything right now. She is responding to magnesium and cod liver oil and everything I do for digestion and nutrition. She is responding to probiotics right now. I do see a worsening of symptoms every time I add pathogen killers towards lyme or Bartonella for the first few weeks on them, so this tells me she either has that or something similar.
