RE: Re:Upset at my doctors

[Guest guest]

Here is my opinion on tests: I have never tested positive at Igenix for

anything. But I've repeatedly had 7 bands on Western Blot and multiple

PCR tests. I've never tested positive for Babesia, although there is no

doubt that I have it and have had it for years. I've never tested

positive on , thus tests are the reason I wasn't treated

immediately back ten years ago, even though I had a confirmed tick bite

and bull's eye rash.

Tests have their place, but after you've had the disease(s) for a while,

the spirochetes are deep in your tissues and hardly at all in your

blood/urine. As for the associated infections, the testing remains

problematic and there are so many false negatives. All Best Wishes,

Muriel

Pam, One of the benefits, in my opinion, of the herbal protocol is that

we dont' have to deal with doctors! Of course, I'm not saying that

having a good doctor is not a good thing, a very good thing, but there

isn't that 'gate keeper' to getting herbs and using the book and other

sources of info to treat oneself. I'm not recommending that you abandon

your doctor; please dont' get that idea. I see two, though I self direct

a lot of my treatment.

Why are you retesting at IGenX if you have already gotten positive tests

otherwise? The co-infections? Not challenging you, just wondering. I

faced this myself recently. I did go ahead and retest, though I've been

told that the antibodies stay in the blood even if the infection is

eradicated. But I tested negative to coinfections last time so am

especially interesetd in what comes back this time.

Best wishes, jo
