Directlabs.com is a site I use to get bloodwork done on myself (since you don't need a Doctor to write it up)
Is there anywhere I can order an Igenex Western Blot (plus Babs, Bart, Erlichia) for my mom?

- Sadly, I doubt it but you can contact them and ask:
---- If your mother has a ND (naturaopathic doctor - or other kind of doctor besides her GP), any doctor can order a test. My ND did this when my GP refused. -

No, you need a Dr's order.

Cane - if you can get a doctor/chiro etc to write the orders for Igenex - but they don't do venipunctures and/or handle blood - you can take the signed orders/kit to Labcorp and they will draw the blood and have FedEx pick up the kit from the drawing station. They did this for me recently - they call it a "courtesy". I was there for other tests - ie with Labcorp orders - so maybe that is required. Don't know. But it was good to know that Labcorp would draw blood that is sent to other labs.
