It is a test that is very accurate. It tests T cell reactions to ONLY the Lyme pathogen. Then another part of the test is ONLY to the Lyme pathogen in your cytokine reactions. They also do a regular WB. The great part of this test is that the reaction is only to Lyme. There is no cross reactions or false positives. They received a $250,000 grant from the NIH for this type of testing for other pathogens recently. I think they have one for candida now and are working on the co-infections. The other good point is that they can retest during treatment to see if the cytokine response is down or not. It is a very reliable test and some insurances will pay for part of it as NeuroScience is a provider for some ins companies.
