Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi Kathy. My homeopath suspected that I had Lyme, but I was never tested. of the LDN site recently had tests by IGenEx and instead of MS he now knows he has Lyme. I've had too many MS tests to doubt the results, but you may be different. I don't know anything about IGenEx except that you need to go through a doctor to send blood. The treatment for Lyme's is an extreme barage of anti-biotics. I'm not up for that since I think they can kill your immune system, much like chemo. People survive that though. If the test is that important to you, you can look them up online and get the information. One good thing about Lyme's is that it is considered curable. I'll help you get the info if you need it. I don't know the cost. Kathy Lintzenich wrote: , thanks. Is it an entire Lyme panel or just one test? Do you know the cost by chance? I am contacting them ASAP. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi Kathy, Here is a letter directly from Bowen labs talking about their new test. Perhaps you could wait and use that one as it is very accurate. ALso if you want info on Lyme disease, Lyme strategies is the place to go, kind of overwhelming with the amount of email though. '' >>>>> Thank you for your email. It is true that Bowen is coming out with a new test in January. Whether it will be available on Jan 1 is still in question. We have not finished the final steps of the validation process as of this date. We do expect that it will be covered by Medicare but, again, we have not gotten that in writing from Medicare which is why we have not made that information public. If a procedure or test is covered by Medicare then the insurance companies will also allow coverage. It will be at least the middle of January before we have that assurance from those groups. Yours, Tom Long Kathy Lintzenich wrote: >, thanks. Is it an entire Lyme panel or just one test? Do you know the cost by chance? I am contacting them ASAP. I just read a story on a website about this girl who had MRI's for 18 years before she got a diagnosis of ms. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Do you know if people in Florida can get Lyme without being infected outside the state? We have bred puppies and have been around dogs our entire marriage. However, my husband has no symptoms. Best, Kathy Underlying Lyme's Infections That Mimic MS I know of a doctor who has tremendous success treating MS by testing for LYMES and then treating the Lymes. Lymes is suspected to contaminate up to 1 in 2 people, but only one or two labs really know how to test for it. My friend and her husband were misdiagnosed for forever and tested for Lymes all the time and told they were fine. They finally went to the right lab and were through the roof. Has anybody here heard of this connection? I just thought I'd pass this along! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate you and all your knowledge. You are a true gift for so many of us and a real inspiration. You have so much willpower.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 That is hysterical! I had a blueberry muffin today. See that is what I'm talking about. When my work slows down, my diet is really good. When I get really busy sometimes I find myself at Boston's chicken. Is it junkfood? No, not really but it isn't healthy. I like that sweet potatoe casserole. I just feel so much better when I tell myself I'm allergic to that food-don't eat it. I'm glad to know you are human too!! giggle Re: Underlying Lyme's Infections That Mimic MS Don't tease me Kathy. I know you're talking about that banana bread!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I tested positive two years ago for Lyme (correct term is borreliosis). Seven months of a variety of antibiotics did nothing--neither Herx nor improvement. I must be one of the 50 percent of the people whom Dr. Klinghardt sees who test positive but whose symptoms are caused by something else. One can carry around a variety of bacteria and be asymptomatic. My alt doctor, who has a lot of experience treating Lyme patients, says everyone has been exposed to borrelia.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks , THat looks like interesting data - but I couldn't get the links to work. Could you please repost them one by one? I am interested in learning what they have to say. Like I said, my Inital research show that it is NOT transmitted human to human - IF there is enough scientific data to support that it is, I can be convinced...
