Under the helpful threads section, there are several articles that discuss bands. I'd definitely review those for your own peace of mind.

Son #1 certainly looks like he should see an LLMD for both lyme and bartonella (and I would get that missing page - even if it means calling the lab directly)

 

Son #2, if he has bartonella, should probably see an LLMD as well, and it's possible, although he looks far less 'lymey', that when you start treating bartonella, you may see bands turn positive. Or, instead of re-testing, your LLMD could look at other indicators, such as C3a and C4a immune complexes, and clinical symptoms. The "proof" will be in the pudding, if he responds to treatment. Same as it is in the Pandas world.

 

Based on these results, I think an initial visit with an LLMD would be advisable.

Make sure you get on the LLMDs cancellation list - you can sometimes get in w/in 2 weeks if you can be flexible and make an appt on short notice.

 

You can also start some detox to help the body get a little stronger/cleaner. I personally like milk thistle for the liver but you can't take it if you're allergic to ragweed (same family). You can search the forum for other detox ideas as well.

Good luck!

Hi all -

 

I just got copies of my boys Igenex results when I was up at the doctor.

I've posted the results below - - all I was told when they originally came in is that both of them were positive for Bartonella - - but I've listed the results for each boy below.

I'd really appreciate input as to what it's exactly telling me (if anything at all), as I don't understand all the band things, etc.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Son #1

 

IGM = **41 IND

 

IGG = **31 IND / **39 IND / **41 ++ / 58 +

 

Bartonella = (page 7 of the report is missing - but that is the Bartonella result & the doctor said that is positive - so I'm assuming it is 40, or above).

 

 

When I first received my son's results from IGENEX, I made an appointment with Nick Harris (owner of IGENEX) to speak about the results. He was very helpful. Of course, you will still need a clinical diagnosis from an LLMD. Nick works on Mondays and Tuesdays and is really great at calling you back. This would be a good start. Andrea

 

 

 

Son #2

 

IGM = **41 IND

 

IGG = **41 +

 

Bartonella henselae IgG = 40 (40 & above is considered positive according to the report)

 

 

Thanks again!!!!!
