Help with lab results

[Sonshine]

Can some of you lend your expertise in how we should be treating? Just received these lab results.

 

Quest Lyme IGG Western Blot--------positive band 23

also shows positive for band 41 and band 30 but appears the intensity is below % of cutoff?

Advanced Lab Culture--------positive

 

Myco IGM -------------2.62 (ref neg <.90)

Myco IGG -------------2.46 (ref neg <.90)

 

HHV-6 -----------------ODR 6.39 (ref neg <.75)

 

Streptozyme ----------1:100

waiting for ASO

 

DS16 has been off antibiotics for almost a year. We are taking these labs to appointment on Tuesday. Can anyone weight in on what we should be looking for treatment wise?

ABX for the myco P (not sure which, myco is not one of our issue), and we are having great success with Stephen Buhner's EBV herbs for HHV-6, EBV, and coxsackie. Buhner also has an herbal protocol for myco P, but I do not know how well it works. Others may be able to chime in.

 

Good luck.

You have two strong indications of Lyme disease. The first is the positive culture from Advanced Labs , and the second is the Quest positive IgG band (kDa) 23 which is an antibody associated with outer surface protein C of the Borrelia bacteria that cause Lyme disease. See http://www.columbia-lyme.org/patients/ld_lab_test.html for more info on these types of tests, and be aware of the CDC 5/2 band diagnostic criteria that are heavily contested by progressive doctors and scientists.

 

Look for an LLMD here:

And review some treatment guidelines here:

I would look for a treatment protocol that uses three antibiotics concurrently, one for each form of Borrelia (spriochete, cell wall deficient, and cyst) and likely one of these antibiotics will also be helpful in combating what appears to be an active Myco P infection.

And unfortunately, lyme rarely travels alone. I would investigate the coinfections as well: bartonella, the babesias, ehrlichia etc.
