Guest guest Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 The quick and dirty test I referred to is a simple antibiotic test. Purchase a tincture of TOA free Cats Claw. There is a brand called Samento that is sold by nutramedix that I used for my wife. Start out with one drop a day and work your way up to ten drops as quickly as reactions allow. If you start getting flu like symptoms during the treatment you very likely have Lyme Disease. The reaction is a Herxhiemer reaction from dead or injured bacteria and your immune system kicking in to clean up the mess. If you have no reaction it could be that you do not suffer the usual Herx reaction or you do not have Lyme disease. In this sense, the test can only prove you have Lyme or possibly another bacteria that causes a Herx reaction. It is unlikely that it would be anything else when coupled with other Lyme symptoms but it is possible. The test cannot absolutly rule out Lyme because there is a small group of people who never suffer outward signs of a Herxheimer reaction. This Herx reaction could be why some feel worse initially while starting LDN, but I am not familiar enough with LDN to say that is the case. Remember this is not an approved test, and a doctor will not accept it as prove of anything. I am not a health care professional, just a person dealing with multiple diseases in my family. Another thing to consider is that it is suspected that Lyme is contagious from exchange of body fluids. There are several families in which everyone is infected in spite of one or no recorded tick bites. This is not official either, but there are many cases that are hard to explain any other way.
