Is igenex legitimate? testing for lyme ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
One of the best: The gold standard test for lyme is the western blot (WB) test. Igenex's WB is far superior to other labs' which makes it the lab of choice by most lyme specialists.See http://www.Igenex.Com/innovations3.Pdf however, even this misses about 20% of those with lyme so if you suspect lyme ; the igenex WB is neg. Consider ks3 labs ; advanced lab. Services-see http://www.Betterhealthguy.Com/lyme/testing.
