Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 They have not published the results yet. I asked about that and they said they are going through proper channels so the study will be taken seriously. I'm not sure what that entails. If you look on their site, there is a number to contact two people who are like V.P. level or abouts, and they will explain everything to you. You can also look at the Lyme/rife boards and do a search on allimed to see what people are saying about it. One person was in the study and posted a lot.
