Who would you recommend for the best co-infection testing out there - Fry Labs or Igenex (or others)?

I would like to get this done - but want the best possible chance of having things picked up if they are there...

Thanks in advance for your advise!

My LLMD chose Igenex for Babesia testing and Fry for Bartonella.

My niece's LLMD had her tested for all co-infections with Igenex.

I was quite satisfed with my lab results. Some people have a question about Fry's reporting, though, because the results usually state a finding of bartonella or mycoplasma. I gather at this point that Fry is unable to identify the bacteria or whatever it is more definitively.

In my case, I clearly have Bartonella as I have numerous skin problems that indicate that diagnosis.

Hope that helps. [Smile]
