Diagnosis

I had to share this info from a friend:

"Lyme 101: The standard Lyme titer (ELISA blood test) run my your doctors office is about 40% accurate. You are better off flipping a coin to determine if you have Lyme Disease rather than relying on this test.
Reason #1: It isn't actually checking for the bacteria in your blood but antibodies instead. You will not build antibodies for about 4-6 weeks after the bite so guess what your test will always say if you test before that time frame? NEGATIVE!
Reason #2: The current test only checks against ONE strain. There are over 200 strains of Lyme, with some exceptionally variant strains in the southeast. Hmmm...guess what your test will say if you have a strain other than the one they test for? NEGATIVE!
That's why you treat your yard & save all ticks you pull off of you & your family!"


It's well known that there are a lot of false negative tests for Lyme! I like the Igenix test, and muscle testing is even better....it can test for bugs in cyst form, as well (at least, my doctor can).
