OK, I have results that surprised me so I am needing some feedback. When I started on this journey three years ago, my first LLMD tested for the HLA gene test.
I tested positive for the gene that does not detox mold well. It was no surprise to me as I seem to react in moldy environments.
I was also in a WDB for a brief time in college.
When my progress in treatment stalled, I thought now would be a good time to look at the mold issue.
I just received the results back from my LLMD and all three types were negative. The only group that showed any detectable levels was the trichothecene at .11 ppb.
I can hardly believe it. I really was hoping that this was the missing piece. I have done a little research on the internet and read that Dr. Lisa Nagy says the use of a sauna can increase the numbers.
Has anyone heard about that? Also, increase the numbers from negative to positive? Can I rest assured that the negative is truly a negative?
Arrggghhh?!!! Help anyone?

Personally, I would believe the negative. I have heard this test is very good.
You could always do an ERMI test in your house, too...

My first tests have been very high and after years they are all neg. I think this lab is very good.

Thanks surprise and karenl. I agree that the lab is very good. It has backing from experts in the mold toxicity field.
My question is can mycotoxins be so buried in tissues and organs that it would cause a false negative?
