Re: Importance of nuetralizing EBV before Lyme testing..........

[Guest guest]

HI Mike and All,

 

 

My primary MD briefly glanced at the reports from my LLMD and said she didn't

want to deal with them and I should go see a therapist. Needless to say she is

no longer my primary and in fact the doctors here have been so ignorant of Lyme

in general I am working without one because of their attitudes. My LLMD has been

helping me.  I think if you are happy with your primary in general you should

just chalk it up to most doctors don't know much about Lyme. My LLMD said ....

well she could treat the other parts of your body,... right?  I said -- no....

I can't deal with her after she dismissed my feeling ill as in my head and go to

a therapist so he knows I am without a primary right now. I just want a primary

to say I understand and to be willing to work to get me better. I know that most

doctors are not going to know about Lyme.  How are you feeling on your

antibiotics?  I hope you are handling them well. I am having a hard time...

they seem to be

making symptoms act up, but from everything I have read... that is normal.

 

Take care.

to all,

I've been sitting here all morning approaching noon reading and rereading my

IgeneX Lyme results trying to understand how it all relates. Sadly, the reaction

my primary MD had when he saw that I had gone to an outside lab (IgeneX)in lue

of the one he uses (MDL)was a bit of a let down.

My impression was that he could not resolve to the fact that although I'd

previously tested negative for Lyme Western Blot IgM/IgG & Lyme C6 Peptide &

IgG/IgM s thru MDL, it was inconclusive. It says right on the IgeneX test

that an active EBV would produce a false negative for Lyme. I had severely

elevated EBV IgM (recent EBV infection) on the same MDL panel of tests for the

negative Lyme. I have not been retested for the EBV and Lyme tests thru MDL's

panel since seeing my EBV has been nuetralized(Shiel Medical Labs) but I will.

So what the hell does it all boil down to? If I had not started the Homeopathic

spray to nuetralize my EBV I may never have tested positive for Lyme; whichever

lab I used. Now until I retest the Lyme thru MDL's panel since nuetralizing the

EBV I can't really say MDL missed it. What I will stress is that if you know you

have EBV or had mono, the importance of nuetralizing EBV before Lyme testing is

crucial. Get tested for EBV. If you have it then get it under control. If your

like me and you've tried to get it under control unsuccessfully through

conventional and alternative meds do the Homeopathic spray. Babesia which is a

coinfection of Lyme that has only 3 of 13 testable strains allows EBV to

proliferate uncontrollably. Here's an except from the CALDA website:

re: " There are other possible explanations for treatment failures. People with

chronic tickborne infections often have a weakened immune response. This allows

other opportunistic infections to flourish, such as HHV-6, CMV, and EBV. These

diseases are not necessarily carried by ticks but are widespread in the

environment. PCR rather than antibody tests should be used to diagnose these

infections. Some people may also have exposure to toxic metals. Specialists

should evaluate these cases. "

It really is amazing the way these viruses and bacteria work in concert. What

began as a mono infection developed into EBV that was strengthened by a Lyme

infection. The kicker is that our testing is inconclusive when you put the cart

before the horse; so much so that the presence of one allows the other to

flourish, making diagnosing the other impossible without first nuetralizing the

initial virus.

It's mind-numbing but fascinating at the same time.

Mike,

Can you recommend a spray?
