Re: FW: Vaccine titers - good news

[Guest guest]

This is wonderful news, I have been trying to push this idea into establishment medicine recently (hard to argue with especially after last month's NEJM piece on titer decay rates showing some vaccine titers will "out-live" us).Ted Fogarty, MD Dear All: a friend just forwarded this info to share: “Direct Labs (www.directlabs.com) is a reputable company that provides lab tests directly to the consumer (ie with no doctor order).  They have just now begun to carry an important test that will allow parents to decide whether booster shots are necessary.  As many of you know boosters are given only b/c a % of the population will not receive immunity from 1 shot but of course many do receive lasting immunity from the initial shots and do not need boosters.  Checking titers is the way to determine whether a booster is necessary (and titers are sufficient proof of immunity on school medical forms).  While it would be nice to think that pediatricians would be willing to check titers as a matter of course for parents who are interested in avoiding unnecessary vaccines, this isn’t always the case and some parents who would like to have titers checked have been unable to find an outlet to do so.  Direct Labs is now making this possible.  Great news!! And the service is also available to adults who may need vaccines as well. Please see below for instructions.  And share the news with those you think might be interested”   Important Vaccine Information fromDr. Sherri TenpennySUBTITLEDr. Tenpenny Announces: Order Vaccine Titers Direct From The Lab! DirectLabs.com, by exclusive  arrangement with DrTenpenny.com, is now offering vaccine titer testing direct to you to assess immunity levels...and the need for further vaccines.NO DOCTOR ORDER  NECESSARY!!  What is a Titer?The term titer, (pronounced with a long "i"), refers to the strength or concentration of a substance in a solution. Testing vaccine titers is done by a blood test. IgG antibodies can be induced by vaccinations or the result of an illness. If the levels are satisfactory, the person is considered by have enough "protective antibody" to be immune. Further vaccination can be deferred. The tests can be ordered for both children and adults. The protective level in the blood is the same for all ages.  Direct-to-Consumer Testing      DirectLabs.com is has been a direct-to-consumer testing lab for more than 20 years. Many routine health tests available at a discount and without a doctor's order.  This is advantageous in the following ways:For patients that have a very high insurance deductible and most tests are paid for out of pocketFor patients who do not have a physicianFor patients that want more information about their health but do not want the time and expense of a doctor's visitAnd in the case of vaccine titers, for patients who what to know their immune status without the potential struggle with a physician, you can now get the tests you want by ordering them directly.  How it works:Click on this link:Scroll down; Choose the titer test you wish to obtainPut "Dr. Tenpenny" in the box that asks for "comments" and add credit card information. You will be emailed a laboratory form (requisition) as an attachmentYou MUST print and take this form with you to the nearest LabCorp blood draw center.When you enter credit card information, a MapQuest option will be come available to find LabCorp center nearest to you.When the tests are completed, the results will be emailed DIRECTLY TO YOU.  You can share the information or keep it to yourself.You can turn your lab test receipt into your insurance company for reimbursement. Unfortunately, there is NO GAURANTEE that you will be reimbursed for the cost of the "health" test. That is why Direct Labs offers a greatly discounted price over the "Retail" price.
