He believes that I have Bartonella and Babesiosis based on symptoms. I've never been tested for co-infections though...and he didn't mention testing but should I try to get tested for these?
Are the tests as unreliable as Lyme tests? Should I worry about trying to get results on paper for co-infections or is that a waste of time/money.
I've been sick so long, I probably really should know more about co-infections but I honestly am just learning about them.

Testing is expensive and unreliable. He is probably right if he's good at clinical diagnostics. what's he going to do for you?
How's the parasite treatment going?

Thanks for answering CD57! Ok, I won't worry about tests.
Parasite treatment is going good! I had a hard day yesterday, but things aren't as rough today and I'm continuing to see evidence- so I'm on the right track!
The doctor said to definitely continue with parasite treatment especially since I've seen parasites and I tested positive for parasites and heavy ammonia with ART test today.
He said ammonia is parasite waste?
He says Salt/C is a good protocol and really likes Humaworm but also has me adding Paragen to the mix.
And he says to focus on healing my gut first since I have thrush and parasites. And then he will help me start going after Lyme.
He is putting me on a few new herbals and went over all my supplements and made adjustments.
The herbasl I'm adding are:
Neuro-Antitox II CNS/PNS Active Bio-B Iodine (6.25 mg) Selenium Liposomal B12
My neuro stuff is acting up so I can't really remember the rest of what he said but my husband took and i notes and we are going to type them up tomorrow. I just feel elated that I found an LLND close to my area!!

Please report back on the neuro-antitox. I may buy this, but would like to see if others this it helps.
I had a positive Bartonella through Lab. corp. you may want to try that. I also know of people that had a positive Babesia through lab corp, although less likely than bart.
