Lyme Disease Awareness: Proper Testing

from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.

When you've been bitten by a tick, whether or not you have seen a rash, if you experience any symptoms in the days to weeks following the bite you'll need to be tested for Lyme Disease. Your General Physician will most likely recommend a blood test through a company like LabCorp or Quest (here in the US) but these labs are only really 50% accurate reporting many false negatives you need a western blot test from a lab that specifically tests for Lyme and co-infections: www.IGENEX.com www.MDLAB.COM https://renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/pathology/tick Print out the test requisition test.  For the IGENEX Lab you'll need at minimum tests 188 &189 which are the Lyme IGG and IGM tests. If your doctor won't sign the forms you'll need to find yourself a Lyme Literate Doctor and I'm going to share with you just how to find one tomorrow so tune in. www.theguudcompany.com
