Ok -warning-anyone that does not believe in alternative therapies-do not read my question!
Have any of you had success with an ND or other "alternative" practioner succesfully detecting lyme or coinfections without the use of a lab or bloodwork? What type of testing did they do? I am especially interested in babesia testing.
thanks,
Diana

Yes, I had an ND find lyme in myself and my 4
kids by EDS (Electro Dermal Screening). It was
confirmed the following week by our IGeneX
western blots and by urine PCR's in the baby and
I who didn't meet CDC criteria like the 3 older
kids.
He also found Babs in all of us and myco in 2
of us, and I think Bart in 2 and I believe these
to be true, (Although so far all coinfection
testing has been negative, 2 rounds at MDL)
except for the baby he found Erlichia which I
question because I don't think she has ever been
bitten. Although Erlichia, RMSF, and Lyme are the
tick triad the vet sees in our County, so it is
possible.
But I know my llneuro
thinks I have Babs due to temp issues, and I now
have red dots on my stomach. So I currently have
a Babesia Microti Western Blot at IGeneX. So we
will see if I get any more answers.

Yes, I have been tested (with ART) and treated with alternative methods always applying ART testing. I am well today and have been for several years. You might want to look up some of my posts - that will give you some idea.
Take care.

I am a QXCI practitioner and when I was first using it on myself the machine picked up on three seperate strains of Lyme being involved and highly active in my system.

hi.yes definitely! i think electro-dermal testing,applied kineasiology,etc by experienced practicioners are very accurate!they have vials these days for tons of the tbds..problem,is treatment ....gigi,by the way,i had 2 appts.for dr.klingardt in aug,.would of had to fly there,and it was cancelled/dates changed by his office a week prior to the appts.it took 4 months of waiting to get to that date and then they tried to change the dates,which i could not do..so it is very hard to be his patient if touy live far away..

Im in Ct, on of the few states that requires licencing but I had no luck with any ND I went to in the search process to find out what was wrong with me.
I went to several and no they did not do electro dermal testing or ART. In the end they all said I was unhappy and making myself sick. I was too tired to argue and actually followed that path for a while.
They all wanted to sell me expensive "products" thru their office but none of their products made any impact. I now know I have lyme.
Choose a ND just as carefully as any doc and then look for results.

Read "My Diagnosis" on the site URL below. I was diagnosed using EDS and confirmed via blood after 8 years and 45 doctors.

I just came back from an ND.,, never been there before
Anyway he tested me energetically with kinesiology and I tested strong for LYME and CANDIDA,,
Whats interesting to him is that I dont have any food sensitivities.
So all the problem with food are from feeding the yeast.
Just to let you know Ive also had a positive IGINEX 3 times and a neg- co-infection test 4 times
