new tests needed for lymes disease.

well, i just want to say as we all know that seventy percent of lymes tests are inacurrate. i had igenex, and that tests for antibodies and is very accurate. two bands supposed to be double starred were low levels, plus 1, and i was diagnosed with borellia and unknown. i had borrelia all over the place, which does not show up in a heathy person as accurate as that test is. i also have been diagnosed with babeosis, among other things. they are saying with early detection, (DUH) no big deal. they are awknologing that this is not happening, (DUH). now WHY are these cases going unreported? perhaps because dumb, medical folks tell us we are just FINE! the fight to GET tested and accurately so, is RIDICULOUS. that said, they want to show active lymes in the body current testing shows antibodies, which are present even if lymes NOT active (the spirochetes). now if atibodies are present to fight borellia doesnt that mean we are STILL sick (DUH). true these tests supposed to detect earlier, but what happens if have post lymes? i guess you are FINE ( bs ). and how will you know if have lymes if NO memory of a tickbite or this bullseye rash? by the time you do, it is TOO LATE (DUH). plus, research is showing that OTHER INSECTS are responnsible too, and NOTHING is being done. PLUS, may be possibly transmitted by other means, even human to human, perhaps. so, in other words, they are throwing a dixiecup of water on a california brushfire , currently good to know may get a garden hose out at least now. the FACT is folks this stuff can cripple some , not being treated early enough, anybody remember polio? ??? well anyway, i am not sure about this, good to have early detection test, but what happens to detecting a case which is post lymes. i wonder about that. but actually, the possible tests discussing good, as long as nobody to be left to fall through the cracks. in other words will need a FEW kinds of tests, i think. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20251204 .
