A friend of mine pulled a tick off her ear. She lives part-time in Mexico (where she was bitten)and is retired and on medicare. She wanted to be tested for lyme, but none of the docs around here send to any of the good labs.

Does Igenex have a patient assistance program to get your labs checked for lyme? So far she hasn't noticed anything different. Now she lives the majority of her time in Mexico and wanted to be also tested for parasites.

Mexico, mind you in a little town and the local teaching hospital here in Oregon is not wanting to test. Keebler, you know which one this is--the hospital here in Oregon is on a hill.

I think IGeneX tests people from all over the world. They will send out free testkits. Medicare also covers their tests completely! Why don't you call IGeneX at 1-800-832-3200 and discuss, then let your friend know what they said.

All she has to do is find someone to sign the forms in the test kit. (a Dr)
