Unraveling Lyme: The Truth Behind Lab Testing and Diagnostics

In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt, we delve deep into the complexities of Lyme disease lab testing. We discuss why traditional tests like ELISA and Western blot often fail to detect chronic or late-stage Lyme. Highlighting insights from experts like Dr. Bruce Patterson and Dr. Joseph Burrascano, we explain the need for advanced testing methods that look beyond antibodies to immune system responses, cytokines, and chronic inflammation. We introduce cutting-edge labs such as Igenex, Armin Labs, and Galaxy Diagnostics and emphasizes the importance of combining multiple tests for an accurate diagnosis. Listeners are encouraged to advocate for themselves and seek comprehensive testing to uncover the true nature of their illness.   Check out the labs' websites!   IGeneX - IGeneX | Lyme Disease & Tick-Borne Disease Testing ArminLabs - ArminLabs Galaxy Diagnostics -  Galaxy Diagnostics - Go Beyond the Limits of Detection DNA Connexions - Home - DNA ConneXions Dr. Patterson’s work - IncellKINE™ IncellDx-14 Cytokine Panel - Radiance Diagnostics - Fast, Accurate Results | Your health: Light it up! | Testing Lab in Naperville, Chicagoland IL   The Karlfeldt Center offers the most cutting edge and comprehensive Lyme therapies.
