Why should I have a Lyme Complete Panel Western Blot test #6050 vs the #188 and 189 Western Blot from the same company?
I don't know what paying twice as much will provide information wise? Can anyone help? ~Frack

I wouldn't bother w/more than the WB (188 and 189). No mainstream docs believe in the lab anyways. From my readings and experience here, the WB is most telling. It won't change a doc's treatment philosophy anyways (LLMD).

I only paid for #188 and #189 plus the one test for both babs and bart (although they came back negative and I have symptoms-so that was probably a waste too). I had already tested positive for ehrlicia through a mainstream lab.
