I have used their 35 - 15 probiotic. I did a homemade test and its an OK and cost effective probiotic. Not as good as the high end stuff but I mix with a couple of these and a good one plus...
I didn't see this posted yet so just in case - from IDSA website: "Feb. 2 - IDSA has convened a review panel to examine whether the Society’s Lyme Disease guidelines, published in 2006, should be...
I've hear its quite expensive. Onmyway and Peter J - have your insurance companies picked it up? Did you Dr. just diagnosis Lyme straight up and then write a script for it? If they have not picked it...
Stanford study results: http://www.vicd.info/clinicaltrial.html Titers are generally less effective. But thats how LabCorp tests for many co-infections. I think WB's for lyme and PCR are most...
Also check out Clongen. They are a leader in Lyme testing as well. Not sure how prices stack up against IGeneX but worth looking at....
Dr. J in Germantown is a good LLMD. He is the LymeMD blog author. I see him and would recommend him. Almost entirely allopathic care. He takes some insurance which is generally unheard of for LLMDs....
There is significant peer reviewed clinical research to show lyme is not treated with short courses of antibiotics. Certain areas of the medical community choose to ignore them or interperit results...
Sulma - have you heard that anecdotally or do you know of any research or studies that show that? Just curious. From trolling the blogs there seem to be those who swear by them and can't sleep...
Thank you Sulma - maybe I'll give that a shot. I have a similar problem to seeingstars. About 3-4 hours into sleep I'll wake up. Like clockwork almost - pretty crazy. I thankfully can get back to...
One Drs. opinion on the subject: http://lymemd.blogspot.com/2008/12/chronic-lyme-and-poor-igg-response.html...
If you have a Labcorp results report you should probably have the two following lines from a CD57 test: %CD8-/CD57+ Lymphs -% 2-17 (normal range) Abs.CD8-CD57+ Lymphs -/uL 60-360 (normal range) The...
Tendon problems (tendinitis and sometimes rupture) are a known side effect of Levaquin (they don't know the cause though). Dr. may switch you off depending on how bad it is. On Rifampin (300 2X day)...

Yes - he is one of my two LLMDs. Very thoughtful and caring doctor. LLMDs come in a "variety of flavors" and I align myself with his thoughts on the disease and treatment. In fact, I went to him b/c...
Thanks Kitty. Have you seen the blog from LymeMd on blogspot? He and a veterinary (microbiologist - I think - definitely in the lab a lot) have some thoughts that are probably of interest to you....
Hi Gracietiger, Welcome to the forum. I am new here too but was a "lurker" for awhile too and also on NDRF and Dinet and your name looked familiar and wanted to say hello. I think there is alot of...
I would be interested in a neurologist recommendation in the DC area as well. I currently see Dr. J in Germantown as my LLMD. But looking for a understanding neurologist that is not dismissive and...
