Hi,

So I was tested for Babesia Microti and it was negative in Oct 2008.

I finally went back to my MD turned alternative today, and it was great, love that man!

I asked which species of Babesia I tested positive for in 2007 via electrodermal testing. He checked his sheet and it said "Babesia Canis"

I came home and everything I've read says it is a dog babesia.

Can a person get it? It's transmitted by ticks as well. This is the first doctor to ever tell me I had Lyme and I am a believer in his machine due to it telling just about everything that is wrong with me. I was pretty surprised when my LLMD told me he agreed that I have lyme based on Igenex.

if you have any article or someone that you know with this species, PLEASE let me know. I go to see my new LLMD in 2 days.

Thanks!

OK, I finally found something about it by Dr. Schaller:

Apparently you can! I hope my new LLMD will test me for this strain since it came up.

OK, I can breathe easier now!
