The site above is worth reading if you want to know how lyme toxins affect us.

It is a genetic test that is used to determine whether or not you are genetically more susceptible to various biotoxins.
Dr. S has published a lot about HLA genotyping. And according to him, certain genetic sequences will make it harder for you to clear biotoxins from your body and thus it will make it harder for you to get well.
Your HLA DRB DQ test results will have to be "decoded". To decode your test results click on the link down bellow and read pages 14, 15 and 16:
Thank you for this thread. I have been researching in this area again and this info has bridged some gaps. Thank you.
