Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I just got the results of my HLA test. From what I can interpret, it seems I have the genes for both Mold and Post Lyme susceptibility. For those that know what this means, is this pretty bad?? I have no typical Lyme symptoms but I will get tested nonetheless. Does this mean I have a chance at getting rid of my MCS????!!! Please email me direct if you have any comments, or ideas on testing and/or treating a potential very latent Post Lyme case. Thanks!!!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Things like that could definitely become an issue when seeking employment or insurance. Read between the lines. There is a big push going on for genetic testing and collection of historical health data. (What diseases your parents and relatives had, etc. There have been discussions about laws that would require people to disclose this 'assymetrical information' on insurers application forms. Thats what this whole push for medical IT is all about. They aren't admitting it, though. Both insurers and employers want to be able to cherry-pick customers and employees who (they feel) will cost less in benefits, etc. Many in Europe say that medical IT and private for-profit 'insurance' are basically incompatible. I think that they are right. The two together smacks much too much of eugenics, and its nasty and terrifying history. Lets not forget the mistakes of Social Darwinism. (the American movement of the early 20th century that Hitler viewed as his inspiration.) No genes are 'bad', IMO. We don't know enough about the genome to say things like that. Its like breeding square tomatoes with a shelf life of a month. Sure, supermarkets might like them, but somewhere in that process, you end up losing all the flavor...
