i read that teasel draws the lyme out of joints and tissue. would it make sense to take teasel before testing to help avoid false negative result?

Some do antibiotics provocation...mine came out after several high dose c iv and samento/banderol. ..depending on test western blot it measures your immune response to bacteria.
2 neg quest ,labcorp pos absolute.id doc said was false positive.Testing is jacked up..elisa is worthless. I did see them via microscopy before igenix came back
so if you just got it you may not have antibodies conversly if you had it a long time and your immune system is down you may not be fighting it anymore..the pcr tests for protein fragments from borrelia as i understand.
Also if any bands show up it is likely to represent flagella.there are many species of borrelia and generaly they test for two..i hope you are using igenix or ispot or the like...i heard fry does biofilm id..best of luck dont give up it is in your head..
