I spoke to my doc who is currently treating me orally and he agreed to contact Bowen for a kit but he said that the results would not have any difference in the way he treats me because the test isn't approved.

Are there any LLMD's on the east coast treating according to these results? I am in Philadelphia but will travel if I have to.

Thanks,

Tell your doctor he can trust this lab. He will see the pictures of what is in your blood. Tell him to compare these pictures with the Pfizer pamphlet at www.lymediseaseinformation.com for the co-infections.
This is the only test we have used since 2001. They just received their patent in Jan. 2005. When the FDA approval comes in, they will be the only lab with approval.

I went to all the other labs, I know. My husband get out blood tested there at least twice a year. Because my husband was recentlly on IV, our ID doc wanted it tested again and it had cut his lyme count in half. We have been battling this lyme since 2001 when I was found out I not only had lyme but babesia, HME and HGE. Was very ill, Bitten in 1994, no one knew what the bite was.

Your doctor will be pleased with the results. This lab is A-1, Remember it is a 501(C)(3) so you can deduct the dontation of $250 off of your taxes.

Let us know what is in your blood and the count. Take care.

I'll be happy to email you my LLMD that treats w/the Bowen. He says emphatically that it is the most reliable test around.

Lyme Disease is also a clinical diagnoses but they it doesn't sound like your Dr. wants to go there. He must be a least a decent person to consider ordering the Bowen. The US Patent states an "ACCURATE" test for lyme disease.

The Bowen saved my life and my nephews. My nephew had been to Shands, Mayo Clinic and the Nat'l Institute of Health over a period of 2 years and NONE of them could give a diagnoses despite the obvious lyme symptoms. The all tested and were negative. I was told the mentioned the family might want to consider making arrangements. Can you imagine??? Today he is HEALTHY, out of college and working.

I have my own personal triumph over Lyme Disease and it too is because of the Bowen.

I'll email you now!

when you say "the test isn't approved", what exactly do you mean by this?

When we state 'isn't approved', we mean not approved by the FDA. However, there presently isn't a test approved by the FDA for Lyme for humans.

Please go to the following website and read the article for a full explanation. Scroll down to LYME TESTING.
http://www.personalconsult.com/articles/bowenresearch.html

"Outside critics of the test believe the Bowen has "too many positives." Not so, if you consider that the people taking the Bowen Q-RiBb test could be 'clinically diagnosed' with Lyme just by evaluating their symptoms. Most had received negative or equivocal test results with the other Lyme tests ordered by their physicians. When negative or equivocal test results are interpreted by their physicians, it is determined that it is unlikely that their patients are infected with the Lyme bacteria. Physicians are hesitant to 'clinically' diagnose Lyme based on the symptoms alone. Patients pro-actively seeking an answer to their continued symptoms and suffering eventually learn about the Bowen Q-RIBb test. A positive result with the Bowen test helps these people finally get a proper diagnosis and get properly treated for Lyme disease and co-infections. The Bowen Q-RIBb test just recently received its US Patent approval.

The US Patent states:
"The present invention provides an accurate method to identify and quantify the Borrelia Borgdoreri (Bb) antigen, the cause of Lyme disease in a sample of whole blood, body tissues and fluids of a subject, a human or animal subject. The quantitative method provides a quick, easy and accurate method of detection of the Bb antigen. The quantitative method allows for monitoring of treatment in conjunction with severity of clinical signs and symptoms".
Although the Bowen Q-RiBb Test is not presently approved by the FDA for Lyme disease; an application for FDA approval is now pending".

Thanks for all of your help. My doc is very good but it's nice to have a backup plan. Thanks for the emails also.
