Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hello Naomi, You may want to check out Immunosciences Lab, Inc. www.immunoscienceslab.com<http://www.immunoscienceslab.com/> they have applied for FDA approval for Immunoserology of Lyme disease there are three different tests, my doctor uses Test A, the test includes Lyme-Specific antibodies, Borrellia Subspecies Antibodies, and Lyme cross-reactive antibodies. You will need to pay for the test and then file your insurance yourself. Wishing you better health, ==================================== Discussion on the list has established that a urine antigen test is needed to test for Lyme disease if the serum tests turn out negative. But I just read the material from Iganex, the only people who do such a test, and they say they are not allowed to provide a urine antigen test for Lyme Disease in New York State. So what do you do to follow up a negative Lyme serum test in your patients who live in New York State? Thank you. Naomi Weisstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks, , I'll check it out -- isn't that Garth Nicholson's laboratory?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't think it is worth it to get a test for lyme. I have the assumption that my kids and I are full of various pathogens and I chelate us so that our immune systems will be stronger and able to recognize and eliminate them. Even if I did have money for the test to find out, I don't think I'd do it because my plan of attack wouldn't change. > > This is a group of very knowledgeable people. I have been tested for Lyme by a regular lab and it came up neg (although I did have one positive band). I want to do the Igenex test but can't figure out how to get that without involving my reluctant Dr. He knows very little about Lyme and despite my symptoms is reluctant to pursue it. > > If anyone knows of a source where I can order the test like I have the hair tests please let me know.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I can't chelate since I am still nursing and have amalgams. My 2 year old can't chelate because I can't find supplements that she can both tolerate and will take. I need to know (as much as possible) if I need to attack Lyme or bark up another tree.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hi there- You should absolutely test for Lyme through Igenex. My son has several lyme specific bands that are positive and has greatly improved with the use of antibiotics. Chelation will not get rid of Lyme. What band was positive - some are VERY specific!!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I am not trying to be rude but in my opinion, treating for pathogens without chelating first is worthless. Toxic metals displace essential minerals. The deficiencies weaken the immune system and the displaced minerals (calcium, magnesium, and iron, mostly) feed viruses, parasites and bacteria. The way to get rid of the pathogens is get the minerals back to normal limits by chelating out the toxic metals. > > > > > > This is a group of very knowledgeable people.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Pretty much all of the biomed together, but chelation mostly. By lessening the immune triggers, you strengthen the immune system and allow it to start working on healing the body. I do ALA/DMSA with Cutler protocol and have also done IP6, zinc, and over-the-counter antivirals/antifungals/antiparasite supplements (olive leaf extract, amla, black walnut). I used the IP6 kind of like a chelator, I gave it for a few nights (on empty stomach) then stopped and gave it again for a few nights. The zinc I give regularly (helps you fight the pathogens). I give amla all the time. We do a parasite cleanse about every six months - the whole family - with black walnut, and I used olive leaf extract quite a bit at first, but not so much anymore. I can't say how each of these things " worked " because I really didn't see anything specifically with these, I can only say that overall my son improved tremendously with dietary changes, supplementation, and chelation. > > > > This is a group of very knowledgeable people.
