Although seronegative Lyme disease has been reported, seronegativity in a reputable laboratory makes the likelihood of Lyme arthritis very low. On the other hand, a positive result from certain unvalidated laboratories or novel assays proves nothing and should not be viewed as substantiating the diagnosis.
Unvalidated laboratories must = Igenex for them. Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
The strange thing is that Igenex has passed all of the exact same certifications (CLIA) that all of the other labs have passed... so where in the world are they getting "unvalidated"?
"Validated" = "passed the CLIA", which Igenex has done.

Someday Pinelady. And why does this rheumatologist LH Sigal think everyone with medical issues needs emotional support? Is HE nuts? Or does he get kickbacks from how much anti-depressants he prescribes.

If they know SCARB2, SREBF1 and RAI1 genes are associated with infections----- Why are antibiotics trials so scarce?
And if all those with Schizophrenia have infection related genes attached to their DNA--then why the heck are they not treating them all long term antibiotics?

Now that the governing bodies greed has cost us our economic stability from big oil, big banks, and legislation that works to just protect profits.
It is time to clean house of big pharma.

It would be interesting to see the whole article and not just the abstract. This would not be the first time that an abstract did not accurately portray the actual findings of the study.
That being said, if the abstract is an accurate portrayal, then it has been based on a study that is blatantly falsified for personal interest and gain. Whether that person(s) is government or corporate, is anyone's guess.
How these people can sleep I'll never know.

Oh they sleep fine, Jackie, with their big bank accounts! It's us who can't sleep! (But I'm with you, of course). Disgusting.

You must know there is now legislation in place to protect their assests and investments...
In the over 9000 drugs set to expire the legislation proposes to pick apart every tiny ingredient to prevent its acceptance thereby forcing ins carriers to only back those they accept.
Which if there were many out there in the wings waiting to sell it to you for a lot less it will be denied and you will still pay the top dollar like they get away with now, esp. those who have only one supplier....
Congressmen who protected profits for too long must get the priorities of the people first for once...
