I was just wondering what the best tests are for coinfections.
I was hospitalized with Lyme's in July and I know they were testing for them, but I don't particularly trust the results either.
Back then I was so scared I didn't take enough time to read about any of this stuff and I want to make sure now that I know exactly what I'm dealing with.
Any replies welcome!

Most tests for co-infections are inaccurate. Most LLMDs just treat for them eventually, if you are having syptoms.

I would use IgeneX. They can test for all the co-infections.

My LLMD told me that babesia lives in the cell and current tests are not reliable. We didn't talk about the other co-infections but as others here have mentioned, tests aren't reliable. At least that's what I think the general concensus around here is.
I think the IDSA state that babesia is easily tested for but then they are not a reliable source of information in my opinion. Terry

Testing for coinfections is apparently less reliable than testing for Lyme, and we know just how (un)reliable that is.

Thanks.
Has anyone successfully purged coinfections fromm their systems w/o the use of abx?
