Re: Taking samples to be tested
Hey. Know this is a little old, but just a thought:
Most of the physicians who accept our samples in the States are using "McLabs" that are trained to look for well known parasites,organisms, and collagen formations, etc.
What may be different here is the clinical expertise of using a Univ. with an in-house tropical medicine Dept. Like everything else, it's a long shot... If the Dr. is asking with intellectual curiously, then why not?
Again, I know there's the concern of being perceived a nut. For me, it would really depend whether he knows enough about this and understands something may or may not be found, as opposed to: going through an exercise to "prove" to you that you "can" not be ill.
In any case, good luck!
