just curious, if you show positive on igenex for lyme, can you have something else going on that might influence the test results?

say you have lupus, syphillis, or mono, or some such stuff, can it effect the test results or interfere with them??

I do not believe a false positive is possible, no matter what ducks say.

Worthless tests & labs, a dangerous vaccine, insurance companies refuse to pay, undertreatment the norm, all about money. MO.

syphilis MAYBE....but nothing else in my opinion would cause a false pos. I personally don't believe in them...but I DO believe in Santa Claus!!....oops, I digress!!

If you have bands [even one] that are specifically showing Bb, then it's Lyme and nothing else.
