Hi Jory, so far as I know, it is only Fry Labs that offered (and I assume still offer) testing. From what others have said, it is pretty expensive. I don't know what the current state of play is though. I was just intrigued by reading the odd comment by people linking it with Morgellons.
At first, Dr Fry described it as a protozoa, but now apparently sees it as more of a fungus (ie funneliformis mosseae). Several people here have written about it as Protomyxzoa rheumatica, so you could do a search here.

Thanks for that paper, Blue, very interesting to read as there is some overlap with NB Protocol (cinnamon tincture, oregano oil).
Ukcarry that's some fascinating stuff, the symptoms are very much like mine. Does this doctor offer a mail-in test?

That I am not sure, Jory, but I think so, presumably signed for by a doctor. You need to have a look at his site to see (think it's frylabs.com).
I remember the post I saw said that although not everybody with proto had Morgellons, all her clients with Morgellons had proto.
I find it interesting that proto is now being seen as a fungus rather than protozoa (sharing ninety something percent of the DNA of funneliformis mosseae), given the fungus component of Morgellons.
