I did some labs for my son and asked them to send to igenex and the Dr was willing to send but the lab did not send them they still keep the plasma on the frieze.
Nurse told me today they don't have agreement with igenex and the chief of lab refuses to send the blood.
They did some allergy tests and they are sky high especially eosinophils and they did also strep test from blood that came high and told me that probably hi had strep throat before. ASTO also was high .
Nurse told me on the phone that Dr thinks no lyme but allergy and recommended to see allergy-immunology .
He has some rashes on the body that come and go and also scratches allot sometimes I see something like insect bites (mosquito bite)after he scratch hi scratch allot and know that no mosquito bit him.
Never had tick bite or bin out of the city none of my kids just went on playgrounds on the city parks. Worried allot don't have money to see LLMD .
I was hoping that Igenex test will clear things since is 98% sensitive for lyme.
But they did not send it and maybe they will give it to me to send but not shore it will be working if is for one week on the refrigerator.
I think all may family gat lyme living with me,although none of them got out of the city as me and got bit by a tick .
Any thoughts will help .
Thanks

This is what I would do if I were you.
Call Igenex and get them to send you a kit.
You will have to have an MD sign off on it. I got my chiropractor to do it for me.
Then, just take it to an outside lab like LabCorp. The instruction on how much blood to draw are in the test kit.
After the blood is drawn, pack it up as instructed, stick a check in it, and take it to your nearest FedEx.
It's as simple as that!
It doesn't make any sense to me why some lab person at your doctor's office would care what you do with your own money. It's not like you are spending their money or the insurance company's money.
Most of the medical profession have quit thinking for themselves. It's sad.

I would order the test kit from Igenex and draw by a different doctor and ship from your own hands.
There is a number on shipping label so you can call ahead to schedule pickup...
You can try washing skin with lemon juice to see if that helps. As well as coconut oil.
