Mircroscopy and other tests for borrelia, babesia etc

August 10, 2007

,

I have discussed the other tests with the ILADS MDs. Fry Lab in

sdale was recommended to me by an expert MD whose name I will

not mention. In my experience IgeneX remains top on the list for tick

borne testing. But, as I am sure you know, certainly not my opinion

nor that of the ILADS doctors, means the medical establishment takes

any of this seriously.

Just an example - I have basically the same symptoms - vestibular

neuronitis as President Bush's diagnosis. The docs know we both

have/had a borrelia infection. We both had a bull's eye rash. Does

anyone therefore assume the vestibular inflammation is CAUSED by

borrelia? OF COURSE NOT. Hello!
