Testing, MS and Coinfections

[Guest guest]

> was that your first IgeneX test?

That was my first Igenex test. I had been tested with ELISA a couple times

before and once right after...the ID Drs woudn't acknowledge my Igenex WB result

so my family Dr ran the Cdn ELISA again cuz she said they needed a (+) from a

Cdn lab LMAO...and it came back (-) again.

I did prepare for the Igenex by taking abx for a mth before and stopping for 2

wks before the test. That way I lowered my bacterial count enough for a few

antibodies to be present and stopping for a few wks allowed for the

cysts/biofilms to open up causing conversion back to the form that has the

proteins etc that are being tested for.

> I was CDC positive (well, the EU version of that) before starting treatment

and still positive (from the well known lab in Cologne, Germany) after 1 year of

ABX and over a year of Buhner herbs. However, after treatment I only had IgM and

IgG p41 bands (which offially doesn't even prove it is lyme). You have to start

wondering what exactly we are treating ...

Same thing I am wondering... I just read an article about a female Dr in Quebec

that got LD and babesia. I am pretty sure they were saying she was dxd with MS

but I can't totally remember...lyme brain!! Anyway she had female problems,

which I also have. She also experienced brain fog, memory loss...that kind of

thing. Turns out these symptoms were caused by babesia and after treatment these

symptoms are gone. This Dr now treats patients in the US...of course...since she

can't treat in Canada even tho she lives here. Seems to me her name is Dr

if you want to google her.

> keep in mind that the cystbusters do other things, like activating the

prophage (virus) in Borrelia. It could be doing all kinds of things, difficult

to predict.

Huh??? The prophage (virus).... Tell me more please!!

> I had lots of MS-like lesions on the MRI in 2006; he told me then that

sometimes they disappear. But maybe that isn't even necessary for recovery, our

brains are very flexible.

Lesions disappear? Yeah, I guess some disappear but new ones take their place.

So what do they say you have? And how can they deny you coverage if you have

brain lesions? Isn't that the definitive MS result for these Drs, to have brain

lesions that is. And there is supposedly no treatment out there that causes a

reduction in brain lesions in MS. There are only meds that slow the progression

of MS...as far as MS Big Pharma is concerned. Funny cuz the clinical trials of

minocycline for MS have shown to cause an average 85% reduction in lesions over

a 2 yr period (Check Luanne Metz in Pubmed).

They won't accept a daignosis of Lyme Disease here but they have to accept MS if

a person has brain lesions and symptoms. As far as money goes, if the guys that

dole out the cash will not pay for LD and will pay for MS then as far as they

are concerned I have MS...for now anyway.

Take Care,
