I'm really not sure. Thought I'd bump this back to page one.But, from your statement, or question, I take it you are not seeing an LLMD???
For that reason, and just curious here, why did you do a Bowen test? Have you done the Igenex test already?
I never recommend the Bowen test for just the reason you stated, "he doesn't know what it means..." Even more reason to have a www.igenex.com test. The results are stated very clearly right up front.
If you are seeing a doctor who cannot read a test result, then you are not seeing a doctor who can treat you properly...
Post over in Seeking a Doctor forum, if you haven't already and don't waste anymore of your precious time and money, not to mention you health...having a doctor who really knows how to treat this disease is your absolutely BEST DEFENSE against a very complicated disease.
Many say they treat Lyme Disease, and they do, but, they do NOT treat with enough antibiotics (abx) and for a long enough duration. Not all doctors who say that they treat Lyme Disease is a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor, an LLMD.
Your second BEST DEFENSE is to arm yourself with knowledge and you'll get that by reading as much as you can and then go back and read some more...you cannot read enough.
Do you have or have you been given Tincup's Links for New LymeNet Members? That is a very good place to start.
Oh, even though I know absolutely nothing about the Bowen testing, if the results say positive, then I would tend to lean toward that as your answer, positive.
Sorry that I couldn't be of greater help...someone will be along, hopefully with a good answer for you.
