Has anyone used Igenex for Lyme testing?

[Guest guest]

Our DAN doctor is suggesting testing for Lyme from Igenex labs for our

high-functioning autistic child (7y). Initial BioSet testing shows high counts

for lyme,candida and some viruses. Our Dan has asked me to stop giving him Oil

of Oregano before we do the blood test for Lyme. He has also said that it may be

possible that the high counts could be from exposure to Lyme, and he may not

actually have the disease.

had developed a bulls eye red rash when he was 5 (which appeared after a

visit to the East Coast)and was treated with two weeks of antibiotics by our

PCP.

I have heard that there have been several false positives from Igenex.

If anyone in this forum tested positive for Lyme and had great results with

antibiotics, would really love to hear from you.

Thank you.

Warmly,

Anjana,

We have used Igenex and my 4 y/o son was positive for lyme diagnosis. We have

been seeing a lyme-literate MD and are using antibiotics and herbals with great

results. For us, it's been tricky getting off antibiotics as the lyme bugs and

co-infections are great at hiding/mutating/cycling. We've been on meds for more

than 6 months now. 2wks of abx was probably not sufficient for your child if

you ask any lyme-literate doctor.

You may want to visit borreliaandmultipleinfectionsandautism group as I'm

not sure your inquiries are the target of this group. Keep in mind though that

the borrelia group tends to support herbal treatment of lyme and co vs.

antibiotics. It's your decision to make, though. Feel free to email me if you

have any questions.

Good luck!
